KING OF ALL STARS.
Christy Mathewson Has Remarkable Record-DispIayed Best Form in 1905 1908.


 When Christy Mathewson decides
 to quit the national pastime he ought to start a school in which to teach the
 art of whitewashing, for Big Six could get recommendations from al most every major league team he ever of the brush. The Old Master now has kalsomined all the clubs in the
 fast set thai he has pitched against except the Red Sox and the Yankees,
 and he possesses a record of having fitted eighty jackets of white on the objecting opposition. Seyeny-six of these goose egg affairs that Matty
 owns were pitched in the National league. four in the series for the worlds title.
 The National league team that Natty has blanked oftenest is Boston, shut-ou wins. He has blanl1ed the Cubs 13 times, the Reds 12 times. the Phillies times, the Pirates times, the Cardinals 8 times and the Athletics 1 times.
 Mathewson's greatest activities in the shut-out line were displayed in 1905 and 1908, he pitching 12 goose ] egg games in each of those seasons. ! Walter Johnson, Chalmers car winner. i had dozen wtitewashes to his credit i last season, and so had Ed Walsh of ! the White Sox in 1908, John Wesley I Coombs of the White Elephants beat
 ing this mark in 1910 by distributing i IS sets of ciphers.
 ! Matty did not whitewash anybody ] the first year he toiled in the National ] league, which was 1900, but in 1901 he rid his system of five goose egg ] games, pitching four prior to Decora- l ton day, when he met with his first ] defeat of the year. In his first eight | games in 1901 the Old Master per
 mitted his opponents seven runs and | 34 hits-a record that made him fav- ! crite at home and a great drawing card ! abroad.

NEW LONDON COUNTY
 LEAGUE GONE TO PIECES
John Hughes the Promoter Has Given
 Up the Idea.

The New London county baseball league that was proposed a while ago by John Hughes, the former manager of the AIl-Stars has gone to pieces. Whether this was just a dream of Hughes or he saw that he could not make good or that he could not get the players he sought is not known Anyway Hughes has given up the idea. It looks now as if the enthusiasm that Hughes claimed was so great was feiSned and that he was afraid to buck up against the Sachems who are going to have a banner year in baseball this season. Quite a few of the players that Hughes had proposed in his line up have already either signed or are negotiating with the management of the Sachems. II was reported that Manager Leahy of the N r. A. base ball team has agreed to give Hughes a tryout, and Johnny has high ideas of making his alma mater team.

Story Of the Life of
Malcolm r. Patterson
The Modern Saul of Tarsus Who Was Arrested, Not by a
Light on the Way to Damascus, But by Officers
of the Law in a Redlight Brothel

TO The Forum: The depth to which
a human can sink even when occupy
ing a high place in public life, the in
famous brazen, u~nprincipled, cruel,
: shameless dupliclty of the liquor VEN

human life that has lost through

com r. Patterson. once governor OF

ab1ect servitude to the liquor interests
and now of international fame because
OF the ringing OF the changes through
powers human and divine in his life.
Malcolm r, Patterson, while govern

derer of Sen e. w. Carmack, who was
killed by an agent Of the liquor traffic
because OF his relentless warfare on
liquor. He (Patterson) argued in ia
vor Of the saloon on h ground Of
personal liberty" and property
rights and "you can't legislate moral
ity into existence. He vetoed the
prohibition law passed by the legisla-
ture and characterized it as "destruc-
tive and undsmocratic". He was very
valuable to the liquor forces because
he was intelligent, educated, %inf1uen-
tiai, and Al orator of note and played
completely into their hands, becoming
a hard drinker. Then his oldest son
died of drink and Mr.. Patterson began
to see his folly and break with the
liquor traffic. Agents OF the liquor in
terestS got him drunk AND while in
that condition took him to a red
light" district and pulled off a raid and
found him there ~consorting with pros
