Chance for . Record.

Mathewson, In his fourteen years of
pitching. has passed the 800 mark bur
three times a. victorious slabman- In
1904 he won thirty-five games and lost
but eight. for a percentage of .s14. In
1903 he won twenty-five games and lost
six. for percentage of sos In 1910 he
worked twenty-one games. winning sew
enteen and losing four, for total of
500.
So 1t has been four years since Matty
crossed the 500 mark at the finish.
Back In 1910 they figured he would
never range that high again. In the
last three years he only averaged about
$50. Yet today he Is well above the
800 mark with the season half gone
At this writing Matty has achieved
fourteen wins against three defeats. for
a mark of .S4 This Is eleven points
higher than he has ever finished a sea-
son. 1t Is the best pitching mark or
either league for any slabman who has
figured in twelve or more games.

Rest Of the WAY.

A number of tawdry events can occur
between now and october. but the fact
remains that 50 far Matty has been
pitching better ball than he has shown
in long time. In his last few starts
he has been almost invincible. Part of
this Is due to a cooler summer in the
East than he has generally drawn. ano
the other part Of 1t he lays to golf.
Golf hasn't helped develop his pitching
arm. nor has II added anything to the
magic fadeaway. But II has kept him
In even better condition through the
winter and early spring than usual, and
has held him at all times fit.
Matty hasn't won ovvr lwenty-six
games since 1909 In the last five years
his run Of victories has been twenty
five. seventeen, twenty-six, twenty
three. twenty-five. To date he has al
ready established half his high run since
the campaign Of 1905, and unless he sub
sides perceptibly he should range again

despite his age and previous condition
Of servitude. Plank has only passed the
800 mark once. And that was in 1912.
when his club finished third. That sea-
son Plank won twenty-six games and
lost six. for a total Of .s13. Beyond that
his best mark was In 1906. when he won
nineteen and lost six, for percentage
figures Of .760.
