tic followers, who in the days when
he was at the height of his popularity

fistic sport where he won fame and

from his home near Boston, where he

same John L. who fought many a
hard battle in the squared arena, eX-

being wined and dined all over the
country. Once in awhile the former
champion looks over the fistic reports
in the papers, but all his interest is
now centred in baseball.

he was in his prime know that next

sport in the world in which John L.
hoped to excel.
Baseball" he says, lis the greatest
sport in the world, but If the present
trip around the world by the Giants
and White Sox gets people interested
in the other countries the present
condition Of the national pastime will
seem very small in comparison to the
growth that must come. No sport
ever reaches the real height of its
possibilities until it becomes inter-
national in its scope. When you get
different countries battling for the
high honors of baseball, then you will
see an interest in 1t that can hardly
be realized now. And Comiskey's and
McGraw's jaunt is hurrying along

BIG SIX NOT LIKELY
TO DESERT M'GRAW
Secretary Foster Sends Big
Pitcher Contract to Name
Own Terms.
FEDERALS AWAIT REPLY

Worried somewhat, probably, over
the rumor that Christy Mathewson,
star pitcher. had been considering an
offer to join the Federal League
ranks, Secretary John Foster has sent
the peerless finger blank contract.
Matty can have his own terms, and
in addition he can have life position
with the National League champions.
Foster said yesterday that the Giant
officials were not worrying over the
Federals dickering with their star; in
fact, he ridiculed the rumor. 1t is
believed. however, that Foster lost no
time in mailing Matty the blank con-
tract. Foster added that Mathewson
has been the New York Clubs agent
on the Pacific coast to get players out
there in line.
The big pitcher left Los Angeles
yesterday for Marlin Springs, Tex,
where the Giants are training. Matty
has not signed as yet, however.
President James Gilmore, of the
Federal League, had the following to
say last night on the Matty propo-
sition:
MdIneWSon mas not yet Teplleu "
my telegram, which leads me to think
that our proposition has started him
to thinking.
I'VE have not offered Mathewson
any stipulated amount" added Gill
more. "Our telegram, sent to him
early on Tuesday morning, read;
Would you consider a proposition to
manage the non-Sunday playing
Brooklyn Federal League at your own
terms?' However, we are willing to
pay Mathewson more money than he
probably considers possible. He
would be a big Help to us, and we
could make it worth Matty's while to
talk business with u.s."
Gilmore says Buffalo will surely be
in the league the coming season. He
also said the Federal League was
after Speaker, Crawford, Magee,
Wingo, Dooian, and Bliss, of the
worlds tourists. A committee of the
Federal League will be on hand to
welcome them next week. In the
event that Mathewson declines the
Brooklyn management, It will be Of
fered to one of the players on the
worlds tour, Gilmore declared.
