rectly opposite. There is something about Mathewson-his bearing and manner-that gives you the impression that you are going up against Gibral- tar.
 Tn the box Matty wastes no time, no surplus energy, and he pitches as soon as batter takes his place at the plate. By doing so he bothered me a lot be- cause I was not used to it. I go through habitual movements-fix my cap hitch my trousers, tap the plate and wait for the pitcher to wind up. Matty. however. didn't give me chance.

The Mighty Honus Cannoa
 Be Scared

EOR thirteen years Christopher Math-
 ewson of the New York Giants and Honus Wagner, the great swatsman of the Pittsburgh Nationals, have faced each other in baseball contests and for. that many seasons have tried to out wit each other. To all real lovers of the game the meeting of these king pins is treat and is always watched with the keenest interest. "Matty ver- sus Honus" is the part of the program which causes every one but the oppos- ing players to settle back with the feel ing that the best part of the show is about to be staged.
 In the 283 times the big pitcher has faced the great batter he has famed him less than a dozen times, and cer- tain1y he bears no grudge against the hero of Carnegie, for he has never hit him with the ball, although at times no one would have blamed him if he had. In issuing passes to his friend the en- emy Christy has been very stingy. Tn all the years he has labored to deceive the Dutchman he has presented hir with fourteen passes to first-about one a year. Here is what Wagner did tc Mathewson in the seventy-seven games in which he faced the greatest hurler in the National. The records show where Honus made just one lonesome home run, and it took thirteen seasons to make that:

ordinary citizens. Some diamond ex- perts dread the number, but not as a rule Bill Carrigan would never occupy berth 13 on sleeper after the day he was badly spiked at the opening of season. He had slept in lower 13 the night before and had had the same un- lucky berth couple of years before, when he broke his leg. On the other hand, Hans Wagner and Miner Brown always demard lower 13.

quently the game had to be stopped until some Boston player put back the broom. That was before the present system of whisk brooms. carried in the umpire's clothing, was introduced.
 Joe Tinker, a Chicago idol, always took pains to approach the plate in ex- actly the same manner next time he came to bat after making a safe hit. If he passed behind the umpire when he went up and made a hit he would go out of his way to go around the arbitrator next time, and vice versa. There are dozens of foibles like that. and there's one nobody in the game dares violate. That is to change the makeup of a team after winning a game unless it is absolutely necessary.

profession, but profess sional baseball players run close sec- ond. And baseball might be an easy first if it were not for, it's comparative youth. The stage has been gathering traditions and fetishes for thousands of Ayears. Professional baseball is scarce ly half century old.
 ls There are scores of things one can not do on the stage without transgress- ing tradition, from raising an umbrel- la to speaking the "tag" of a new play sin rehearsals. Baseball's traditions are not so hidebound nor so generally ob- served. Its superstitions chiefly are in- dividual or, at least, peculiar to differ snt teams. Of course, there is the old belief that the umpire never can be light except occasionally on fly balls, and that is as widespread as the game itself. But, in the main, the supersti- stions are sporadic.
 One of the oldest cases is found in the Buffalo Feds camp. Did you ever watch Hal Chase at bat? You may have to watch whole game before you discover his pet superstition. But if you look closely you will see that he always wears on the little button on stop of his cap wad of chewing gum. Every time he steps to the plate that perky ornament is there unless all the gum shops in town happen to be closed sand there is no way to get any wax" 4 The gum sticks there unmolested un- less Chase has two strikes called on him. Then he reaches up, removes the gum and puts it in his mouth where it undergoes vigorous mastication during the rest of that time at bat. While in kthe field Chase usually keeps the gum gin his face instead of on his cap, but never does he go to bat with it in his mouth. and never does he remove it from it's perch on his lid unless there are two strikes on him.
 Players are sometimes "touchy" about such things. Everybody in baseball Shas noticed Chase's little gum foible but nobody knows why. You see. mo- body has asked him. Some of them have little Billiken stunts of their own to play, which might make them look foolish in the eyes of their pals, and they like to have their own supersti- lions respected. Consequently they re- sspect Hal Chase's and merely wonder what effect a wad of gum can have on R third strike.
 There are a number of beliefs that gre general in baseball. There is the old one about the load of empty bar srels. No ball player sees such load going along the street on his way to ball park without-mentally, at least taking off his hat to it. That spectacle ig supposed to mean a lot of base hits.

But you never will See more than two players light up from the same match. It is against all tradition 60 take three lights from the. same match. It won't even do to light two cigars from a match and then permit a third to get light from one of those cigars. The rule is ironclad and a new match must be ig- nited if there are more than two ropes" to be burned.

 Praise of this sort from the brainiest and most scientific batter and fielder in the game shows how high Matty is held by his opponents.
