That Ed Mstteson Teller is sure one
tough luck guy.
Some fellers are born to tough luck.
Some achieve tough luck. Others are
handed 1t on a silver platter.

They're not goin' to stop baseball Just
because there's a war on over in France.
But Stan kept his eyes on Ed matte
son. the human Texas Lacquer. who was
making good in the big show just before
the curtain was about to fall. Some
guys do bump into tough luck. Take
Ed Matteson. for instance.
Ed has pitched lot of ball in his
time He once took a cup o. coffee in
Philadelphia while toiling with the Phil
lies. He had battered all around the
sticks and along came 1913 He found
himself with DallasSn the Texas League
and he was a winner.
They Sprung n War.
Then they sprung a war on Ed.
The Texas League blew up. Well,
that's not remarkable for a bush or
ganization, and Ed thought himself
In clover when Clark Griffith gave
him q trial. He tried his luck twice
for a few innings at a time and got
credit for two easy victories. Then,
before a big Sunday crowd in the Ma
TONS Capital, before all the thou
sands of soldiers and sailors and war
workers drawn to the Capital seek
ing healthful outdoor recreation, he
went up against the marvellous Eddie
Cicotte,\ backed by the remnants OF
the worlds champions, and con-
quered, 4 to ?.
And the next day the curtain fell
on Ed. That's what we call tough
luck. Yep, it's downright tough.
Don't va care, kid" said Mique
Martin, trainer extraordinary, swing
ing a towel in Eds face. They'll
never stop baseball. they'll never
stop IL. You'll be out there again,

.MATTESON IS HARD LUCK

who couldn't be Srrested?' asked Ed
MattesOn Does Well
In his lone start for the GrIfrmen
Matteson looked very well. He
wasn't invincible, as the ten bingIes
made of him prove, but he was right
there on the job, as the two runs and
no free tickets show. And he was
cool as the proverbial cucumber in
tight places, even in the face of
wobbly support. Nothing worried
him. He stuck to his knitting. And
he won.
Cicotte looked all right, but the
Griffs climbed all over his offerings.

and about, winning the game in the
eighth on a walk, a sacrifice, and
two hearty drives by Schultz and
Shanks.
Going into the eighth the Grins
were locked with the White Sox, .
TO 2. Judge drew a pass and went
up on Milan's sacrifice. Schultz, who
fears no. cruel draft board, singled
sharply to right, and Judge was over,
putting his team in front. Schultz
scrambled to second on the useless
peg to the plate, and he, too, scored
when Hank Shanks cracked one to
center.
MattesOn Stops Foemen.
The White Sox tried their darndest
to break up the game in the ninth,
but Ed Matteson stopped 'em. "Shano"

and with his gloved hand grabbed

Risberg came up, for Cicotte, and he
ended the rally with line drive right
into Fosters paws. That's all.

Judging wholly from their official
statements and actions, Provost Mar
shall General Crowder Is opposed to
leniency for baseball players, and Sec
rotary Baker believes that baseball
can continue with men under and
above the draft ages" Owing to the
Kaleidoscope condition Of baseball
a. a result Of the jealousy between
the two major leagues, the actual dif-
aculties facing the game have not
been adequately presented 70 the
authorities, according to many base
ball leaders.
Hermann Is expected to show that
the major leagues started their 1918
campaigns under the encouraging ad-
vice from the White House that the
President saw no reason why pro-
fessional baseball should be curtail-
ed They entered into contracts on
the assumption that the present cam
peIgn would not be stopped and are
nos seriously affected.
Ban johnson Exploded.
Ban johnson exploded early in the
war with a bombastic statement that
"the American League was ready to
close its gates overnight" But he
quickly subsidized and became more or
less of a joke when he threatened to
sfbe in the trenches OF France before
Captain Huston" who went over with
the frBt engineer troops to cross the
pond.
Saturday night he issued another
American League parks following
statement ordering the closing Of all
Sundays games" This caused an in
cipient uprising among his magnates,
four Of whom took exactly the op-
posite view Of the situation. and last
night Ban rescinded his order.
While the Government was prepar-
fng to put the skids under the game.
johnson and Tener were splitting a:
each other like angry cats on the
back fence, threatening the structure
Of baseball because OF a second rate
pitcher with the Athletics. one Scott
Perry. They apparently had no time
10 keep Informed about what was be-
ing prepared in Washington. Indeed.
Clark Griffith was allowed to carry
on the case OF baseball practically by
himself.
TIL Huston Was Right.
III Huston, part owner OF the New
York Yankees. now a lieutenant colonel
81 engineers in the United States army
IN France. was right last spring when
he predicted the end Of baseball unless
its leaders grasped their opportunity
and became Of real service to the coun-
try" Huston minced no words in his
statement which appeared in these col
dmns. telling his brother magnates Just
how the thing looked TO him on the
other side Of the ocean.
Instead Of welcoming the criticism,
most Of the magnates laughed. They
said that Huston was 50 far away that
he could not know what was going on
here. They continued 10 trudge along in
their blindness until last week when the
bomb landed IN their camp. Il caught
them unprepared.
Now those same magnates see that
they followed equally blind leaders and,
20 far As the American Leaguers are con-
earned. they threaten 70 quash for al

time the .pretensions OF Ban johnson as
a leader OF their destinies.
Baseball VIII Live.
America is evidently starting upon the
same path trodden by the English. At
the declaration OF war against Germany.
most colleges cancelled all sports. Har-
ward. Yale and Princeton had no varsity
football last fall. though the others gen
orally kept their elevens on the field.
Now. under Government order, profess
sional baseball is to be allowed to Ian
guish and die away.
Similar action was taken in Great
Britain at the outbreak OF the war.
Professional football and cricket, and
all horse racing, stopped under the call
70 arms. This extended even to Canada,
Australia, and South Africa
However, the British people, wher-
ever they may be. are sports loving
people. They found that they lust
must have their sports of all sorts
They brought them back, but they
made them OF service to the coun-
try in several ways. The big spec
tacles were resumed to assist hos
pital' funds and various war chart
ties.
Baseball will live in the United
States, according to the wisest OBJ
servers. but the present leaders are
doomed to pass out.
Muned Their Chance.
Captain Huston, mingIing with
Britishers on the battle front, had
hrst-hand information as to what
happened in England. Therefore, he
hurled seething criticism at the back
wardness of his brother maEnates in
Fastening to OFFER their organization
for service TO the country. Baseball
leaders, seeing only to the end of
their noses. muffed their chance.
Even down TO the end, with the
Government about to kill the sport
as now organized, these leaders were
TO busy with petty political SQUAD
bles TO keep themselves informed of
events transpiring in Washington.
II is expected that the American
people will rise and demand their IA
yorite sport IL forced to go without it
for a season or two. They will be do
ing only what the British people have
done. But the present string of base
ball players will hardly be seen again.
The present leaders OF the game will
pass out with them. The new deal
will start from the bottom all over
again. This is the view of the wisest
baseball men in the country.

Camp Meigs couldn't do It. The
Fifth and Florida avenue lads went
down to Quantico yesterday prepared
to walk away with the Marines. They
dropped a 10-to-5 battle. Golding,
the best pitcher on the Meigs stan,
went into the box, but had to make
way for Dave Rockford.
Both pitchers looked alike to the
slugging Marines. who won the game
after getting fourteen hits The Ma
