1n.the old days it wasn't consld.
cred quite as muchSof a feat as 1t
Is today. This was due in a meas
ure to the fact that pitching stats
were much smaller, forcing the
pitchers to work oftener.

The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1922-01-17

One big reason why a lot Of thess
pitching records will stand for
years, is that pitching stats today
are much larger. A pitcher is not
called upon to work SO often. Some
pitchers IRE more or less speciak
lists. They work only against Ger.
tain clubs or are used for relief
work almost entirely.

Some idea Of what a great pitch,

can be CLEANED from the fact, that
for twelve consecutive years, he
won 20 or more games.

AS a matter OF fact, q great many
managers when signing a pitcher
to bonus contract set twenty as
the figure. q
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1922-01-17

That is a record that pitchers
will be shooting at for a long time,
Mathewson, because OF the easy
manner in which he worked, placed
no strain on his arm, and for that
reason was able to perform consist,
emily year after year. "A sore arm
was an unknown thing to'Matty.
