NOBODY ASKED ME- TO
MANAGE CLUB, "NMATTY
But Great Pitcher Admits That
He Has Ambitions in His
Chosen Profession.

Interviewed last night on the posi-
bility OF his becoming manager. Christy
Mathewson declared that that matter had
never been officially presented to him.
''Of course | have heard the rumors
that connected my name with the Office"
he admitted frankly. But ! had looked
upon IL merely as the speculation of
writer's. have seen both President Hemp
stead and Manager McGraw several times
since my name was first mentioned as
New York American League managerial
candidate. But of course l said nothing
to them and they nothing TO me-"
Ibid you know that McGraw had gone
to attend the conference In Chicago"
Mathewson was asked.
II did" he replied as frankly But
had no reason to assume or believe that
his visit was in any way connected with
my future believed ne had gone through
personal friendship for Messrs Rupert
and Huston. They are not practical base
ball men and had depended upon Macs
advice and counsel in all OF their dealings
up TO this time"
"Matty. would you accept the manage
ment OF the New York American League
club" was the next bold question
That Is hardly a fair question to ask. y
the big blond pitcher countered. Il am
loyal to the Giants, and as | am not free
to act | would do or say nothing det-
rimental to the interests OF my en-
ployers."
