is GETTING BETTER

FACTORYVIILE, Pa, Sept. IL
While visiting at the home of his
parents here recently, Christy Ma
thewson, whose mighty right arm
turned back team after team in the
National League, and who is slowly
recovering from lung affection,
lived his boyhood days all over again.
Factoryvlle, where big Six" was
born, is rural village nesting be-
tween green hills and surrounded by
farms and fields Of wild flowers.
During his visit "Matty" recalled the
days of his youth and took delight
in roaming the hills and fields with
men, who, as boys, were his play
mates.
The once famous pitcher is a lover
of wild flowers and while here added
&c varieties to his already large col
lection. When moving picture men
came to Factoryville to get Christy,
they found him in field with a
clergyman gathering flowers.

Mexico City and failed. Today the
sport is intensely popular and the
bouts which are held regularly every
Friday night in Mexico City attract
crowds that fill the Fronton, huge
structure in which the Spanish game
of pelota is played.
The promoters are SO enthused
over the prospects of the fight game
here, that they are planning com

they have already set up a school
for boxers in which Mexican youths
are given free instruction in fish
cuffs. These students. in return for
this instruction. furnish al! the pre-
liminaries to the main bouts and
that they do well is attested by the
fact that the popular verdict so far
has always been that the youngsters
are better than the older principals.
Invitations have been sent to sew
States inquiring as to terms for a
fight here, and the word has evil

game is looking up in Mexico, be-
cause during the past few weeks
there has been great invasion OF
"ham and egg" fighters who are per
fectly willing to be mauled around
for a few rounds in return for a few
regular meals.
Persons who have watched boxing
rise and fall in popular fancy here

ever before For the first time Next

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE moment
exPolice Inspector Syme gets out
of Jail he starts for Buckingham Pal
ace with a brick and hangs around
waiting for a chance to throw it at
the King or some member of the
Royal family.
Syme was dismissed from the po-

once developed into a crank with
grievance. He has been agtating
against the authorities ever since
and has been imprisoned repeatedly
for trying to create disturbance.
When he is locked up he starts
hunger When the prison
doctors think he has gone hungry
as long as he can do so safely, he
is released.
Recently he made a speech in
Trafalgar Square and threatened to
do for the King if the authorities
did not right his wrongs for him.
On failing to furnish securities for
his good behavior he was again sent
to prison for three months, and at
once declined to eat.
King George is interested in Syme,
and anxious that he should not
starve himself to death. So His
Majesty asked that he be released
before he got too weak. So Ell is
again at liberty, but the authorities
are watching him closely.

engagement yesterday in Central
Stadium. Lamar easily counted from
third when Pinch-hitter Baird laid
down a bunt. but Hair was helped
to the plate when Techs first-sacker

The game was a mound duel be-
tween Houser of Tech, and Hair.

the better of the scrap all the way.
He held Tech to lone hit and. al
though free with passes, did not let
them count in the scoring. Western

but Tech played poorly afield.

run in the third inning and it
doomed large until Hair and a couple
of his mates made three miscues and
gave Tech two tallieS in the eighth.
Hairs error was a peculiar one. He
