II would call Matty the ciairvoyant OF

uncanny power of diyining what you

the exact opposite. Neither his fast

you bother him. The result was was
forced to do all my motions before
Il got into the batter's box.
All the advance notices and bits of
dope that find their way into the club
house before a world series, led us to
believe that Mathewson was curve

we we're prepared for him. Imagine
