CHRISTY MATHEWSON

We just dubbed along and pretty soor
hero was Boston in the first division.
BY that time we realized we could not
stand still and win the pennant. I'll
say this much-no team ever tried hard
err and obtained less results. We tried
everything We knew, but somehow the
most Of our strategy went wrong. The
breaks ceased to favor US, and all the
time the Braves were creeping UP.

The first speaker raised an important
question. when he spoke of the ncces-
sity Of a brace by the Giants There Is
nothing so deadehinE as the loss or IN

took that big jump on the field the old
machine has frequently missed anu
