~HRISTY AIATHEWSON, idol Of
New York fandom, has pitched 50
~ many remarkable games for the
Giants that it is hard indeed to pick
out his one best effort. Back in the
worlds series of 1905 with the
Athletics. Mathewson pitched three
wonderful games in five days, all Of
them shutOuts, practically defeating
the American league entry single
handed. On October he opposed
plank and won over the clever south
paw. to 0. He allowed only four hits
struck out six men, and did not give a
single base on balls. On october II
MatheWsOn came back ana scored an
other shutout over Andy COakley by
Bender was Matty's opponent IN the
fifth and deciding game Of the series
played on October i. 1t resulted in
another shutOUt- to O.
Three Games Were Remarkable
In the game pitched against COalSley,
Mathewson allowed only four hits,
while in the game against Bender the
best the Athletics could get was SIX
safe drives. In the second game he
struck out eight and in the third game
four. In the three games he gave. out
but one base on balls Any one Of these
three REMARKABLY games, all pitched
in the same worlds series, would be
about enough glory for the average

His One Best Game.
The New York star regards a game
pitched against Chicago, with Morde-
cal Brown as the opposing pitcher, as
the one best bet in his career of stel-
lar performances This game was
staged June Is, 1906, at Chicago. The
Giants won L to Q, putting the winning
run in the ninth. For eight innings the
two teams went runless. and for seven
innings neither team made hit, for
Brown was performing in as taultless
style, as was MathewsOn also. In the
eighth New York broke into the hit
column with a safe drive, while in the
ninth the Giants broke UP the game,
four consecutive singles earning the
run that decided the issue
AIafheEVsOu Was Hard Pressed.
Mathewson regards this no hit per
formance as the best Of his career be-
cause he was hard pressed until the
very finish. When the seventh inning
had passed and neither team had made
a hit, the game resolved itself into a
battle of pitchers. and the fans sat
back in their seats, waiting for the
break OF the game. 1t came in the
eighth when the Giants put over safe
hit, and was topped off in the ninth
with four consecutive singles. Mathew
sons control was perfect in this game,

Jack Michigan, who runs a Phila-

the writer that it would be impossible
to make, any money off the <il5ane-
Williams bout if he had to guarantee
over $500 to either fighter. as Phila-
delphia warns up only moderately
toward the scrappers.
The match is a good one, and II any
siX-round affair could be satisfactory,
this one ought to be. Williams will
make it so, not Kilbane. for he's the
fighter who has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by going out Of his

How Do They Figure.
One Of the queerest angles to the
ers have put the club promoters in a
position where they must do the gam
bling on the probable amount of tie
house
The promoter has it all framed up
in his mind that the fighter is worth
to him just what he can draw at the
gate. 1t is, therefore, a clear case of
giving him a percentage and making
the fighters reputation do the rest.
But, as a matter of fact, not a fight
er of prominence in the country will
come into a ring under a straight per-
centage proposition. He must have a
guarantee in addition. And it has to be
a good one for him to fight like
Trojan, too. This goes for the best Of
them.
As a matter of justice, promoters
ought to have regular percentage
rates. In that way they would get
chance to make something.
It appears that the ball player is
not the only sport who is enjoying the
hay making period Of his career.

The blow was delivered through the
medium Of the Injunction suit against
the transfer Of the KaWfeds' franchise
TO Newark, N J. This suit forced the
notwithstanding Of the Organization
to break Nd without accomplishing
anything and leaves the league up in
the air at time when it is about to

Until the suit is settled the league

Club Wins by One Pin.
The present week seems to be rather IN
satisfactory for the leading teams in the
local bowling leagues and they have been
in rather hard luck Thursday night, in
the Shelter matches on the Cactus alleys,
the Batemans hauled the Abbotts from the
high perch and now hold the lead by a
margin of IS points.
The Batemans took all three games from
the Abbotts. N n. Rheinheimer was high
with 1876 for the single game and $40 for
the aggregate.
The Hourstons and Fosters had a great
match. The Fosters won the first game
and the HourstOns the second. With two
men to roll on each side in the final game,
the score was even. Baker. OF the Fosters,
gave his team a lead of one pin with 131.
Buffers best having been 100. Fenner and
Critchett then started out to decide mat
ters but each rolled $50 and the match
went to the Fosters by the one pin margin.
Hourstons, however, had the team aggre-
gate by margin Of two pins. There were
no sensational scores, but all the trundlers
worked steadily. Don Dompier topped the
single games with III, and the aggregate
with sos.
The scores follow:

~ ers to watch the Indians in
1915" and we agree with Ed that the
Maps might bear watching
Among other things, Ed says:

From 1904 to 1908 the sporting eX-

On their 1903 showing, the Maps were
picked as certain factors in the 1903
battle. They finished sixth.
They ROse Again.
The Maps were untOuUed in 1913 No
one figured that they had a chance,
yet the Maps acted as runners up to
the Athletics from the start practically
TO the finish of the 1913 season. Had
It not been for those five or six straight
beatings doled out to the Maps by
the Senators on the Maps last swing
cast in 1913, there might have been
p different story TO tell about the 1918
