MatheWSOn and Lender were once
heralded as great pair to rival each
other in a world series. All the base
ball world expected to see Mathew
son face WaddeIl in 1905. but Wad-
g. dell was incapa ritateG just before
the series, and from that day to this
there never has been a discussion of
this incident in Philadelphia without
the Athletic fans insisting that some
kind of shenanigan, for which Wad-
dell was solely responsible, kept him
from defending the base ball fame
.cof the city.

Of away from it.
4" Many Tight GENES on List.
There have been many tight games
pitched in the world series. The first
thattern was set in 1905 between the
Giants and Athletics, when there was
a 10 30 and two 80 games in
five The fifth was 90. There have
been 10 games since then. There
was one the very next year between
the two Chicago teams. There was
one III 1911 between the Boston Ma
tionals and the Philadelphia Ameri-
= cans. There was one in 1918 be-
tween the Boston Americans and the
Chicago Nationals. There was an
>bther in 1920 between Cleveland and
Brooklyn. Still another followed in
1921 between the two New York
u teams, and they repeated in 1928.
