game. Thirteen. years is a long
time to be under fire. I'm no vet
eran myself-only a youngster at
the game but there are times
when I'm tired out and would give
a farm to break away for long
rest. Va J. Il
But I've watched, Mathewson

but only pure sport-an afternoons
romp, as a business man might go
out to play golf or tennis.
Many in baseball" continued
Carey, ''slow. up. physically, but
believe q lot of others go back be-
cause they get stale on the game
get tired of it--get worn out. and
in rut, and they are no longer
able to go to IT with any. sort OF
relish.
"And when this happens 1t is
drudgery, and no. man can do good
work. But after, thirteen years
baseball is still Mathewson's favor
ito sport. I
He either. likes It immensely or
he is the greatest actor I ever saw.
He never has to drag himself out
OF the. lot and force himself to play.
..The game appeals to him and he
finds a lot OF new things to study
and work over !. all the time. He
doesn't take II for granted that he
has learned all there Is to learn
and go piking on mechanically. He
refuses to get into a mental rut."
Carey's dope Is undoubtedly to
the point. Mathewson Is a hard
student and a close observer, what
over his undertaking.
The physical side Of baseball
might tire one in a few years, but
there are a. million kinks to the
game and new developments at
every turs. X
To sIathewson 1t Is an eternal
science. It lis his speciality and he
finds enough interest to keep him;
studying and working v without a.
break. Naturally. this holds his in-s
terest. In each game he looks for
ward to some unexpected turn, or. to
trying out batting; weakness
which he believes he has discov-
cred. 81 8
Another point in Mathewson'ssf a-s
lvor is the fact. that he has never
had q. sore; arm to work with. There
are any number: of pitchers who,
attempt to keep in.shape. butswho.
by nature. tare what Is known. as.
''sore-arm workers, and who. there
fore. are handicapped sadly. {
There's no great appeal In pitch
ing a bali game where every: thrown
ball is like the injection OF "a knife
blade into ones shoulder or elbow.
CONSERVATION OF HIS
ARM HELPS lfATHEWsoN. y
But In his entire career Matty
has never drawn q sore arm. His

CAPTURE MOST IMPORTANT
Victory Fly Czar's Men Has Opened the Way to Germany and
 Hungary.

London.-The long investment of the mid-Galician fortress of Przemysl has ended. Depleted by disease, sub sisting on horse flesh and surrounded by a superior force of Russians, the garrison has surrendered to the be- sieging army after defense lasting many months, which. up to the pres ent, is recorded as Austria's most note worthy contribution to the war.
 Petrograd, London and Paris are celebrating the event-Petrograd and Paris in the spontaneous man. her characteristic of these cities; London with silent and grim satisfac. tion, which is the Briton's way.
 The newspapers assert that the fall of the fortress marks the most import ant capture of the war, not accepting Antwerp, ill that it not only releases considerable Russian forces which can be thrown into the struggle in the Car pathians, but opens the door to Cra- COW and the plains of Hungary.

Expect Good Moral Effect.

It is argued. moreover, that the nor, al effect of the surrender will be tre. mendous, the theory of the allies being that it will stimulate feeling in their favor both in Roumania and Bulgaria just as the operations in the Darda- nelles are causing an agitation in Greece and Italy.
 Przemysl fell with honor, the British press comedies, for it withstood the onslaughts longer than any place dur. ing the war, the investment having begun about September 16, something more than six months ago.
 The duration of the siege compared with the length of time it took the Germans to capture such strongholds as Liege, Namur and Antwerp was due to two causes, one being the desire ot the Russians to keep the loss of life among the besieging army at mini mum; the other to the lack of great guns, which the Germans had in Bel gium.
