As Q youngster he beat the Pitts

A triHe later on, In his hrst world
series, he pitched three successive
shut-outs-twenty-sev innings Of

There have been others who had
more speed. although Mathewson had
his share.
But there has never been another
who had more brains or a. nns con-

Mathewson was not only . collector
Of victories. but he was constantly
warming UP to save others under fire.

up to the time he drew an attack Of
