Here is a delightful bit Of human
tragedy. 1t isn't comedy, although
my recital of it may sound Nke 1t.
Here is human tragedy, the irony of

Here is artistry. real story telling

Johnson Entitled
To All Credit, Both
Managers Are Agreed

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 7.-(AP)-
Bill McKechnie of the Pirates and
Stanley Harris of the Senators, rival
managers in the worlds series,
agreed upon one thing at the close
of today's first contest, and that is
that all credit must g0 to Walter
(Barney) johnson.
THE honors go to Johnson for
his superior pitching" McKechnie
said. Il believe that my ball club
is just as good as Washington's, but
tough luck about it.
II am not a bit discouraged at
the result of today's contest and I
am sure that the boys will fight all
the harder for tomorrow's game"
Harris was all smiles at the end.
How'd you like that game?
Wasn't Barney great? Didn't we
play good baseball?"
The questions ran off the young
managers tongue in a steady stream
and there could be no doubt that
he was just as delighted as he said
he was.
Winning of the first game of a
worlds series would tickle anybody
he said, perhaps looking back upon
the reverse at the hands of the
Giants in New York a year ago.
Barney pitched wonderfully and he
mixed them up. You should see his
hand-swollen to almost twice its
size from the way he gripped the
ball. Barney was out to win and
there was no stopping him. ."
THE boys are joyful over the out
look although they realize that such
players as Traynor and Grantham
who showed exceptional defense
ability today. may give them plenty
of trouble. Traynor is a dangerous
batsman.
Tomorrow I will send Coveleskie
after the second game here. The
muscles of his back, strained some
time ago, appear to be in shape"

Over 400 Cities
Reached by A. P.
Wire on World Series

New York, Oct. 7.-(AP)-When
the baseball players of the Pitts
burgh and Washington teams lined
up and the umpire called out "play
ball." the Associated Press broke
four records in order to fulfil its part
in the program.
1t operated the longest single tele-
graph circuit on record. Never be-
fore had so many operators worked
on single wire, more player score
boards were linked to the wire than
at any other time, and for the first
time in history eighty broadcasting
stations permeated the air with re-
ports received over the same wire.
The entire leased wire system of
the Associated Press, linking up
more than 400 cities throughout the
United States and extending into
eastern Canada and Cuba, was con-
nected directly into the Pittsburgh
ball park. The telegraph signals
I transmitted from the park traversed
more than 46500 miles as they found
their way to the various newspaper
offices the country over. At the
same time eighty broadcasting sta
lions and $50 player scoreboards
were also connected to the wire.
The largest force of press tele-
graph operators in the world gave
their undivided attention to the OPP
GRAFTON of the wire as the game
progressed. More than 500 of them
were assigned to the work of copy
ing the telegraph flashes of the one
A. P. operator at the ball field who
clicked off the plays dictated to him
by the reporters. No loophole was
left uncovered in the supervision of
the service and eighty men in the
various relay bureaus, in addition to
the force of the telegraph company,
concentrated their attention on the
signals going over the wire so as to
prevent the possibility of delay
which might be caused by any one of
the 500 connections.
With the first signal sent over the
wire went the order mo breaking"
which meant that 500 men knew
they had to translate every dot and
dash without interrupting the man
at the ball park. This required their
closest attention to the work during
the entire period. The wire never
was permitted to remain idle for, a
second. When the operator had
nothing to send, he continued trans
hitting a set signal which indicated
to every operator that the wire was
functioning perfectly.

again hale and hearty, in February,
1925, to accept the presidency and
part ownership of the Boston Ma
tionals.
A graduate of Bucknell College,
where he was both a football and
baseball star, Mathewson broke into
the professional game with the
Taunton, Mass, club of the New
England League in 1899, receiving a
salary Of $50 month for his first
season. He lost his first start by a
score of 6 to to the Manchester,
N. H., club. During the season he
won but two and lost nine games,
lack of control-a fault he did not
overcome for several years-handi-
Gaping his effectiveness.
Matty's first major league appear
ance was in the role of relief pitcher
in "a game lost by the Giants to
Brooklyn. He had but indifferent
success as a pitcher and utility play
er until 1902. when John McGraw
succeeded Horace Fogel as manager
of the Giants. big Six" was play
ing first base at the time but Nc
Graw quickly recognized his pitch
ing ability, and took him in hand.
His strides toward greatness dated
from that period.
He was prominent factor in the
pennant victories of the Giants in
1904, 1905, 1911, 1912 and 1913; he
twirled two no-hit games, one
against the st. Louis Cardinals, in
1901, and the second against the
Chicago Cubs, in 1905; he held Joint
lxr xxytfl,
Cleveland Alexander. A major
league record of winning more than
30 games three seasons in q row;
but his greatest achievement was in
the worlds series of 1905 when he
pitched three shut-out victories
against the Philadelphia Americans.
McGraw ranks Mathewson's feat
in the 1905 series as the greatest in
his memory. All five games in that
series were shut-outs, Joe McGinnity
twirling the fourth victory for the
Giants while "Chief" Bender blank
the Giants for the only triumph
scored by the Mackmen. -
Mathewson suffered a shoulder in
jury in 1914 which virtually ended
his career as a regular on the
mound. He pitched infrequently
thereafter and persuaded McGraw to
let him go to Cincinnati during the
middle of 1916 to fulfill his manager
iAl ambition.
Displaying the courage which won
him many diamond victories, Matty
fought and won the battle for his
health during nearly three years of
treatment at Saranac Lake, n. Y.
Pronounced practically cured, he
returned to New York in the fall
of 1922 to witness the worlds series
triumph of his old teammates, the
Giants, over the New York Yankees.
Restored to health, Mathewson
was eager to get back into the game
and when early in 1923. an old

today to appear tomorrow before the
naval court of inquiry in the Shen-
andoah disaster, concerning charges
he made against the navy depart
ment in connection with the wreck
ing of the airship in an Ohio storm
last month.
Because of these charges, Colonel
Mitchell now faces possible court
martial proceedings. In view of this,
Representative Reid of Illinois,
counsel for the army officer, when
first advised that his client had been
summoned before the court, said he
would advise the Colonel not to ap-
pear.
Informed of this statement Cap
tain Paul Foley, judge advocate of
the court. took under advisement
the matter of issuing a formal SUBJ
poena for the army fiier, bur he was
advised by Adjutant General Davis
that this would be unnecessary since
the Colonel would be obliged to obey
the army order for his appearance.
