WAGNER COULD
SOLVE BIG SIX"
Matty Was No Master Pitch
ing Against Dutchman.

A statiSticlan. going through the
records Of the years, found one bat
ter Christy Mathewson didn't have
greaF success against. Who? Why.Hans
Wagner, of course. Here is what
Wagner did to the hurting O. Mathew
son ia the SO games he faced him, ac-
cording to the dope dug up
In 10 seasons. Honus had 327 times
at bat against Matty and drove out
106 genuine base hits as big Six"
VIII testify, perhaps not to the exact
number, but TO the quality of the
drives These figures would give
Honus a batting average of 800.
Records show that Wagner batted
in most consistent manner against
the pitching of Mathewson for in only
three seasons did Christy prevent
Honus from touching the 800 mark.
ON the other hand. the Pittsburgh
star never INDUCED in many batting
sprees at Matty's expense
Seldom did Wagner severely maui
Mathewson's delivery, but on July %.
lSUS, wagner made q hit every time
he came TO bat, four times up and
four hits
one of the proudest moments Of
Waguer's career was when he made
his first home ran off Mathewson
For l3 Years John Henry Wagner
had tried to hit q bail when facing
Mauy for four bases, but not until
the wear 1913 did the mighty slugger
succeed. On August l6 of that year
at New York, Wagner gave the ball
such q mighty swat that # sailed far
out Of the reach Of felders The blow
ratified Matty and he Immediately al
lowed the enemy 70 make eight runs
Honus made a few more choice hits
In that game TO show Matty that he

Will Inform His Government,
in Detail, of U. S. Views.

BUCHAREST. Rumania, December
12.-Prince Bibesco, Rumanian Min
lister to the United States, who has
come here from Washington, said yes
terday that the purpose of his visit was
to inform his government in detail
regarding the American attitude on
various points of difference-in other
words, to do for it what Peter A.
jay, the American Minister to Ru
mania. did for his Government in his
recent visit to Washington.
While declining to discuss details
of the differences with the United
States, and strongly disclaiming any
intention to embarrasS the situation
by intervening in Mr.. Jays negotia-
tions with the Rumanian foreign
foreign office, the prince expressed
confidence that his cooperation
would be helpful in strengthening
out MISUNDERSTANDING He empatic-
ally denied the report current in
Bucharest that the government was
considering assigning him to Vienna.
Prince Bibesco and the princess,
who was Miss Elizabeth Asquith,
daughter of the former British
premier, will return to Washington
about the middle of January. Their
love for the United States and their
ties of friendship with Americans,
said the prince, were so great that a
new assignment would not even be
considered by him.
