Did Methewson rave and rant at the
srbiter or throw his cap in the air or
make a pantomime on the mental def
ciencies or honesty of the official in
charge? lie did not. When he learned
the cause Of the peculiar ruling Christy
openly acknowledged the fairness Of the
verdict, stared the matter squarely in
the face as part of the luck of the
game and calmly retired. II he had
needed friends that one act would have
gained him thousands.
Mathewson commands the respect Of
his men. The most warped nature can
recognize virtue a mile off. The boys
are hustling for Matty because they
know he always hustled for himself.
his employers and his manager. They
know he is honest; no one could asso-
ciate with Christy half an hour and
fail TO recognize that fact.
Perhaps you do not know how honest
Mstty is. Well, here is little story
that will enlighten you. Back in 1908
the Giants lost a pennant to the Cubs
on q technicality. With two out in the
ninth inning Al Bridwell singled to
centre, scoring a runner, with what
should have been the winning run,
from third. But Merkle. who was on
nrst, fdlled 10 run down 10 second. lie
ran of the field with Mathewson in
stead. The willy Cubs made play for
force out at second base and Umpire
Hank oDay allowed it, caneelling the
run.
That was the celebrated tie game
which necessitated a pos. season play
OF between the Giants and Cubs, in
which Chicago proved victorious. No
man on the Giant team had more at
stake than Mathewson. He had been
coaching at FIRST base and was partly
responsible for Mefkle's bone, for
Fred was green at that time. More
over a similar play had been made
though disallowed-by the Cubs against
Pittsburgh before 0Day ten days ear
lier. A man Of Mathewson's ripe ex-
perience should never have let Johnny
Ey,rs bait such trap. But all Of the
Giants fell into the snare as a matter
Of fact.
A bitter fight was put up against
0Day's ruling by the New York club,
but the board o. managers substan-
tiated the official They substantiated
him because Christy Mathewson was
away beyond and above lie. A num-
Der Of eyewitnesses, and indeed sew
ersl Of the Giant players, made affidavit

Tales of a WaySide Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

among the Scotch, English and home
breds, but excessive rivalry IN turn
between these three and the amateurs.
When it is remembered that amateurs
have won three out of the last four
open championships, it will be simple
enough 70 see why the pros are deter
mined if possible to drive the amateurs
into rout upon this occasion.
The home-breds are confident they
can win. While they may not have any
one quite so brilliant as Nichols,
Barnes or'Hutchinson. they have well
balanced cast.
The team play decision will be made
on points, each 1S-hole match TO be
played to the finish. the point system
to be decided by the number of holes
each man is up on his rival. The total
holes played for the three days will
then all be figured in, the total to re-
late the result.
II Chick Evans comes the amateur
team will then be exceptionally strong
Only great golf could beat back a line
up headed by Evans, Travers. Kirkby
and Guilford with such golfers as
Maxwell, Jones, Anderson and others
barring the way.
England all through the year has put
forward any number of great matches
among Vardon, Ray, Braid. Taylor and
others for Red Cross purposes. There
have also been several fine matches in
America for the same worthy fund
But there has been no approach to the
coming tournament in the way of a
golfng galaxy. There has never been
tournament in America which has
carried any greater appeal, nor where
there has been such a gathering of
both amateurs and professionals
As a rule, only few amateurs ever
compete in the open. But here there
will be dozen Of the best, and there
will also be the double test of medal
and match play-thirty-s holes of
medal and ffty-four holes of match
play golf over four different courses,
calling for every variety of shot known
TO the game.
This tournament will undoubtedly be
as hard and as complete a test as any
amateur or open championship.

visit of the season last week and
brought a real ball club with him. He
had patched up his broken fences both
in the infield and outfeld. He had
taught a few good pitchers that he
found in Cincinnati how to pitch most
effectively The culls had gone to other
fields. Two good youngsters, likely to
be heard from often in the days to
come. had been added to the staff in
Regain and Ring. For the first time In
many years Cincinnati looked the part
of pennant contender.
Mathewson believes that by the end
of the present campaign he will have
an infield the equal of any in baseball,
not excepting the wonderful inner line
of the Giant defence. Chase and Groh,
at first and third, respectively, will bear
comparison with any kindred pair.
Shean and Kopf have held up their own
admirably at second ard short. They
should improve steadily in their present
associations. In Roush is to be found
one of the greatest outfelders of the
National League, while both Griffith
and Neale are competent helpers OF the
outer patrol.
Cincinnati is displaying every attrib-
ute of success. The team has driving
power and speed and spirit. 1t is strong
on attack and equally strong on de-
fence. 1t is imbued with the lust to
victory. The transformation is moth
ing short of miraculous. To Mathew
son belongs the credit. He has estab-
lished harmony where chaos prevailed.
Mathewson is true sportsman. Sue
cess never turned his head when he
was at the zenith of his athletic career.
He never found fault with the umplres
in his heyday. He never attempted to
saddle his own few mistakes on the
shoulders Of others. Nor is he differ
ent now in the flush of this new sue
cess, dearer to him, perhaps, than any
display of his greatest pitching genius.
An illustration in point.
In close game at the Polo Grounds
last week (the score was ted Neale
Of the Cincinnati club hit home run.
A runner was on second at the time.
But the circuit swat was disallowed
and the runner sent back because, just
as the ball was about to be pitched, an
umpire had called time. Some fan in
the grandstand had thrown back ball
| fouled to him and it had rolled out into
the diamond. That home run meant a
| lot to Mathewsor right then; it seemed
the difference between victory and de-
feat,

upon the ear was but little diminished

The steamer Pokagoma is max

With the American Army in France.
Dec. 2e.-Every Russian oficer in
France. from the commanding gen.
eral to the youngest lieutenant. have
placed themselves at the disposal Of
the American forces, to be used as
Gen. Pershing sees fit.
The Cffer was made today by a
high ranking officer. who gave as
surances that all his compatriots in
the allied cause by serving with the
Americans. The offer is made in
recognition of the American efforts
to rehabilitate Russia.
Acceptance is held in allegiance,
since it is believed il is necessary 10
obtain special Congressional legisla-
ton permitting it. The requirement
to become American citizens may be
waived. however. If the officers Of
fer is accepted, many Russian soldiers
now in France are expected to Join
the American army. These soldiers
are registering deep indignation over
the surrender of their comrades in the
east to the Germans.
A number of Russian aviators may
also prove a valuable addition to
the American forces. Many Of the
Russian officers speak English anG
French and would be valuable as in
structors to the Sammies, or to the
French and British il they cannot be
in the American army.
Russian officers in Paris recently
signed a manifesto denouncing the
peace parley.
