ging along six or seven more seasons
is beyond any guess.
He is now In fine condition and ap-
parently far from being all in. He has
taken wonderful care of himself in
every way and has developed the
rarest knack in the game of saving his
arm and drifting easily when not under
pressure.
His Last Year
Matty is supposed to have drawn
bad year last season, but 1t was only
bad finish after his mates had faded
out and hit the chutes. At one stage
of the battling he had won 16 games
and lost only 4. He finished with "a
victories against l3 defeats, a percent
age of .650-hls lowest mark since 1905.
But when his mates were out hustlIng
and playing bit of baseball he looked
as good as at any past stage OF his
career. For more than two months he
doomed along at an 800 jaunt. Then
the Giants buclled up like a cheese
ship struck by a torpedo and Matty
dropped nine of his last II starts.
So here is a pitcher at s5 who looks
as young as he did at 25-and who is
travelling still at the same clip. A
pitcher with a fine physique, fine
temperament, fine brain and clean
mode OF living. Certainly If any man
In the game is to beat Young's great
record. Mathewson is the man.

Young a Marvel

Young Marvel
Old Cy was undoubtedly a pitching
marvel. To begin with, he lasted 22
years as big league pitcher. He won
2s1 games in the National League and
PIT in the American.
After pitching l6 years he had bad
seasons in 1905 and 1906. and every
one set him down as being through
a grand old veteran and such, but a
member OF the Has Beens at last. Then
I'm 1907. his 18th season, he jumped
out to another good year. and in 1908.
his goth campaign. heNdld even better.
with 21 victories and IL defeats for an
average OF 1855. And he was AZ years
old when he established this mark.
His Sole Rival
There is still one man I'm baseball
with chance to equal or tie Young's
mark. The name is Mathewson. the
premier OF the Giants.
Matty has served is campaigns in
the big league. counting 1900. when he
worked three games and lost them all.
This is his 10th year. and he is now
35 years old. II he can last seven more
seasons he will equal Young's 22-year
stand and still retire from the game
two years younger than Cyrus was
when he ceased firing at the old plate.
So it isn't impossible. For Matty is
also big man physically. with world
of vitality and a canny brain that un-
derstands how TO protect an arm and
conserve natural pitching resources. 4
Matty's Mark
So far Mathewson has won s52 bail
games with the Giants. his only home
under the Big Tent. This record should
count as IA years work. as Mathew
son only worked three games in 1900
without achieving victory. To show
how closely the two have Travelled,
Young at the end Of IA years had won
s54 games. Just two beyond the Giant
stars present total.
TO equal Young's record Mathewson
now has 156 victories to accumulate.
This means that he must stick IN ac-
tive harness at least six more seasons
and be able 70 average 25 conquests a
year through this length Of time. Il 1
means that he must pitch e the same
average fer six m0rs seasons-the
same average he has maintained sinca
e joined the Giants.
