MATTY GETS CHECK FROM
SUMMER BENEFIT GAME

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--A check for
100000 was sent today to Christy
Mathewson, who is fighting tubercu.

was paid by New York baseball fans
at a benefit game for the former

Old.tlme ball players engaged in a

but the regular league game was cal.

tee announced today, however, that
through subscriptions, rain insurance
and the sale of autographed baseballs,
the gross receipts were $1,000. This
amount may reach $40, 900 through un.
redeemed rain checks.

RICKEY SAYS Fifteen y
GAMES LOST BY STOCK

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Milton Stock.
third baseman of the st. Louis Car
dinals, is about to have the skids put
under him. Where he is going to
land is not known at this time, but
Manager Branch Hickey, of the Car
dinals, holds a grievance against N:l-
ton for his failure to report on time
in the spring and is determined to dis
pose of him. All the admiration the
pilot ever had for the infielder is gone
because he charges him with the loss
OF the National League championship.
Stock was a hold-out in the sprin6.
He wanted more money and would not
don a uniform until the club met ms
terms Manager Hickey did all in his
power to induce him to come into the
fold. but Stock stuck until his demands
were gratified. While he was wran-
Cling over the contract the Cardinals
were without a steady third sacker and
as a consequence many ball games
were lost. Hickey declares that Fifteen
were dropped and charges Stocks fail
ure to report to that many defeats.
Add fifteen games to the won col
umn of the Cardinal team and half of
the world series would have been con-
tested in st. Louis. Rickey's team
finished third and was considered the
best in the National League because
of its wonderful offense.

the Big Four have to hustle to find
places on the annual all-star team.
In 1921 any one of a dozen football
elevens would welcome a chance 10
face any or all of the Big Four, but
back in 1896 II was rather some feat
for any so-called smaller team to do
much against Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton or Pennsylvania. They were tine
.roenized leaders on the football field.
Consider, then what Lafayette did In
1896.
That year Lafayette played Prince
ton, to 0, and defeated Pennsylvania,
6 to 4. Three times Lafayette wal
loped West Virginia, Is to 0, to o,
and "a to 0. Finally the season was
closed with a victory over the Naval
Academy, Is to G. Not one defeat
had been sustained. Princeton alone
had prevented Lafayette from scoring
and only Pennsylvania and the Navy
had crossed the Lafayette goal line.
Harvard, quite the most venerable
of the Big Four, had a rough cam
paign I'm 1895, carrying out to the
letter Walter Camps words. team
composed of Harvard graduates slam
