experiments at Johns Hopkins Uni

The experiment, as conducted by

base balls. the pointed arrows leaving
a sharp mark for study. Approx
mately 5000 dart throws were meas

the students showed evidence OF tenn

Using standard 10-cent cigars and
a we'll known brand Of cigarettes the
students took turns smoking and
pitching at the target.
The amount Of tobacco actually
smoked was measured to the fraction
of an ounce.
The pitchers were found to be more
accurate in their tosses upon days
when they refrained from smoking.
However. a temporary stimulation

eral innings, though, and he was
ready to give all he had in the last
two frames. And he did just that. de-
spite an ailing arm. His pitching wing
was SO sore yesterday morn
ing that he did not think
he could be Of any use. 1t was
enough to make the big relief hurler
necessary, even at the cost of his arm.
What Fred did to those Pirates in
the eighth was great. He whizzed
the ball past Wright and Grantham so
fast that I doubt if either saw it.
Then came that spectacular catch Of
Rice's, probably the most remarkable
catch ever made in base ball. Mar
berry had two strikes on Earl Smith
when the big Pirate catcher sent the
ball soaring toward the center field
temporary bleachers. Rice went
sprinting across from right field,
hurled himself against the barrier and
leaned far across it. He did not move
for a second or two, then lifted HIM
self from the fence and when he raised
his arm it was seen that he held the
ball in his gloved hand.
Smith Ruled Out.
Umpire Rfgler, a National League
arbiter, promptly ruled Smith out and
a homer that would have tied the
score was kept from the Pirate.

j. Harris to Rescue.
Before the game I was absolutely
confident we would be able to solve
Ray kremer's delivery and my faith
in the club was justified. We kept
within striking distance through the
timely hitting of Rice and Judge in
the third inning and Goose Goslin's
homer that bounded into the center
field bleachers in the sixth.
kremer gave evidence OF faltertng
in the sixth and in the seventh we
got to him for a pair Of runs that

I intend to send Walter Johnson

S11lRe against Judge was "ltHQIdWH.
The Pirates moved like chain light
ming on the bases They always went
from first to third on hits to right
field, beating the throws to the bag.
Stan Harris did some master-mind
work on defense. In the eighth In
ming he yanked out Joe Harris and
sent Rice to right field and put Nc
Neely in center. Rice was then in
position to rob Earl Smith of a home
run by circus catch, a play that Joe
Harris could not have made.
Goose Goslin smacked his fourth
home run today in his world series
play. He accumulated three in 1924
against the Giant pitchers. The
Goose needed the cry of the Wash
ington fans, Come on, Goose!
The wind played hob with the ball
and the outflelders were never quite
sure of themselves. Carey, a real
ball hawk, dropped what seemed to be
an easy fly. and Goslin fell over after
making one catch of q wind-blown
ball.
Base ball paid tribute to the Presi.
dent, and the President paid tribute
to one of base balls greatest charac-
ters at Griffith Stadium before the

Spangled Banner" was followed by
the bugling of Taps, the last farewell
to any good soldier. During the trfb-
ute to Christy Mathewson, Giant
pitcher of years ago, the President
stood uncovered, with head slightly
bowed.
"Ah, here's the Eskimo" Joe Judge
said as tho Washington pitching Sc
lection, Alex Ferguson, arrived on the
bench before the contest.
Second and third base umpires stood
in the sun and kept warm, but Mo-
riarty was in the chill winds of the
grandstand shade at first. Mccormick,
behind the bat, kept warm by arguing
with Earl Smith.
All Of the Pittsburgh players wore

Appreciated Discipline.
Early in his playing days he appre-
ciated the necessity of absolute dis.
cipline. Though q star and a hero to
the public, Matty never allowed that
to influence him. He did not want to
be regarded q hero. BY observing the
smallest detail in discipline. he infiu.
enced the younger players to do 80.
Their reaction was that If the great
Mathewson had to observe and obey
rules they certainly could not disre-
gard them.
Christy Mathewson had a natural
dignity that did much to raise the
morale Of his teammates. It iY1fiu.
enced them to look upon base ball as
an honorable profession; one that re-
Qutred skill and constant application.
At the same time Matty was a mans
man and had as much fun as any
body. His attitude was never that Of
a teacher. though he really was most
valuable instructor by example. He
loved any game that required clever
ness and skill. and was an expert at
all Of them-checkers bridge or chess.
have seen him play eight opponents
at checkers simultaneously and never
miss play. His memory was SO per-
feet that he could beat the average
good checker player blindfolded.
Never Forgot Foes Weakness.
Even after he had become q great
star, Mathewson would go out and
work for an hour at q time to perfect
control Of a certain pitching delivery.
He never forgot the weakness Of an
opposing batter. Capt. Eddie Grant.
who was killed in France and who
formerly was major league player,
used to tell of the first day he faced
Mathewson and got five hits. Eddie,
for a day or SO, regarded Matty as
easy to hit. But he didn't get another
hit that season OF Matty, SO he used
to say.
Mathewson undoubtedly was an in
spiration to the whole sport Of base
ball, but he was an even greater In
spiration to the players. Knowing
that he would do the right thing at all
times, the players worked behind him
with absolute confidence. His sense
+, of responsibility was so strongly de.
veloped that it was almost impossible
for him to make thoughtless mistakes.
| AS he grew into greatness Matty real
lied that the, public expected him to
continue great. He felt keen respon.
lsibility to that public.
Always Saved Arm.
Evening star., 1925-10-11

fMatty prepared himself with great
care. He was always in good physical
condition. For example, he always
carried his suitcase in his left hand to
save the right. Bv perfect control he
saved himself much exertion and also
steadied his team.
do not expect to see the like of
Mathewson again. but I do know that
the. example he set and the imprint
he left on the sport that he loved and
honored will remain long after I have
gone. Mathewson was my close
friend. His passing Is one of the
greatest sorrows Of my life. God rest
his soul.
