MATTY LOSES TITLE

All Ii not gold that glltters.
Some years ago Christy Mat
thewson, while training at Mar
lin, Tex, defeated the champion
checker player Of the Lone Star
state.
Matty bore his title with his
accustomed grace, bdt now after
all these years he has been sad
dened by the discovery that the
man he played wasn't the cham
piOn at the time at all.
Matty, however, swings a
wicked finger over the checker
board as many an opponent, such
as Fred Merkle, can testify to.
Matty says he Is now going In
for the "hearts" championship
of every place south of the Ma
sOn-DiXOn line. Anxious wives
needn't be alarmed, nor jealous
husbands frightened; Matty is
only after the "hearts" card
championship.
