Mathewson was one of the first
college graduates to break into the
big leagues and did probably more than
any other man TO lift baseball from
game Of more or less rowdyism to
a sport which came to be the national
game.
His death, coming while the world

is especially regretted, for even after
his playing days we're over Big Six

overcoats comfortable. Predictions

Scalpers, always present. always

have experienced some rcverses in the

The cry Of ''sell out" became so wide
spread for the first game that many
remained away and at game time there
were tickets to be found downtown.
Stanley Harris and Eddie Moore,
rival second-basemen, who are playing
with swollen digits, had little to do
in the opening contest. They had
but three chances in the field between
them.
Earl McNcely, whose safe blow
in, the twelfth, won the final game
and the series for Washington from
the Giants q year ago, appeared in
center field in the ninth inning, Joe
Harris remaining on the bench and
Rice going to right. 1t was a strate-

MATTY'S DEATH
SHOCK To ALL
BASEBALL
Famous Pitcher Succumbs
to Tubercular
Pneumonia.

SARANAC LAKE, n. Y, Oct. s.
Christy Mathewson, one of the great
est pitchers in the history of baseball.
for years a star of the New York
Giants, is dead. Christie died at IL
o'clock last night of tubercular pneu-
monia. He had been i'll of tuberculosis
for several years.
The body today rcposed in the home
in Park avenue tn which the famous
pitcher came on the morning of July
1. 1920, and which since had been
his permanent residence. Friends raid
no traces of illness were apparent.
Tonight the body will be sent to
Lewistown. Pa, where, in the home
of Mrs. Mathewson, funeral services
will be held Saturday. There will be
no service here.
The death of big Six as he was
affectionately known by his millions
OF admirers all over the country, was
not unexpected. About three months
ago, there was a report that Christy
was near death, but these reports were
subsequently, denied. Later, however,
it was learned that Mathewson had
failed to rally from a setback he sui
fered about n year ago.
Mathewson was president and part
owner of the Boston National League
Club and il was through the help of
John McGraw, manager of the New
York Giants, his old team, that Christy

the community suffers Second, the
more efficient the snow removal pro-
gram is, the less will be the ultimate
cost of upkeep. Failure to remove
the snow from the streets of Wash
ington promptly will mean much
larger addition to the repair bill than
the average citizen now imagines
The damage done to the streets is in
inverse ratio to the cost of an effec-
tive organization. Third, the snow
hazard adds materially to the acct
dent hazard.
There is no reason why Washing
ton should lag behind other large
cities of the country in making ade-
Quate provision for the removal of
snow from the streets"
Commissioner Bell, amplifying his
statement last night, pointed out that
a subcommittee of the House is now
framing the next District appropria-
tion bill If it is the will of the ma
jority that snow removal should be
handled on a big scale, provision can
be made now for the next fiscal year,
Col. Bell said.
The Engineer Commissioner said he
realized there were some individual
members of Congress who felt extern
sive snow removal opera tions should
be carried on, and that there are res
fdents of the city who hold the same
view.
1t Is wholly a question, Col Bell
said, of whether the people want to
spend a large sum of money to haul
the snow off the streets today, or to
confne the work to opening cutters
so that it will flow into the sewers
tomorrow.
If a majority. prefer to spend the
amounts necessary to clean the snow
away, the commissioner added, it be-
comes question of getting the re-
quired appropriation from Congress.

More Than Half Million in Fines

Increase in Number and Total Over 1928 ShOiUn,
But Average amount Was Feic Gents Less
During Last Year

amounting to s61.16452 OF the total
cases. 9.115 in the latter year were tried
in the United States branch of the court.
while 45,274 were tried in the District
branch.
The fines were divided between the
two branches, with total of $111.-
04.66 being imposed in the United
States branch, and S344,15s.S6 in the
District branch.
Although this was an increase in
the number of cases and fines, in
1924 over 1923 the average fine i'm
posed on the individual was about
30 cents less in 1924 than in the pre-
ceding year. The average in 1923
was, it will be found by working
a little long division, a fraction of a
cent more than $S.47, while. in 1924
it was only a fraction more than

The lower average for 1924 is prob
ably due to more petty cases coming
before the court.

one of the worst places in Washing
ton on account of failure or inability
to remove snow, is directly in front
of the Capitol building, and the front

The American Automobile Associa-
ton, which seldom misses a chance
to be heard where automobile traffic
is being discussed, issued formal
statement last night calling atten-
tion to the intangible loss to the city
of hundreds of thousand of dollars"
as a result OF the slowing down of
business, and declared that Washing
ton should have been prepared in ad-
vance with the necessary equipment
to cope with the emergency. The
A. A. A. suggested three factors which
should be dealt with in Washington
In the light of experience in remov-
ing snow gained in other cities.
These factors were given as follows.
First, the placing of snow removal
on the same basis as maintenance
and repair is placed. This means
through the organization of an ade-
quate snow force to take care of the
city according to well-developed
street and subdivision plan and ready
at all times to pitch into the work
of snow removal.
Second, instead of waiting until
the snow has fallen to a depth of
several inches, this organized force
should start with the beginning of
the storm, as is the case in other
large cities where snow removal is
on a thoroughly organized basis and
ready for emergency calls at any
time.
Third, the provision for Washing
ton of up-to-date equipment in order
that the organization can act speedily
and effectively in removing the snow
and keeping the thoroughfares open"
Washington as the result of the
snowfall. Ernest N. Smith, general
manager of the American Automobile
Association, said:
1.-The snow removal problem is less
acute in Washington than in other
cities of the country, and yet the sit
uation here, at the present time fur
nishes a compelling argument for
placing snow removal on a thorough

THE problem has three distinct
phases. First, the commercial i'm

the city open, goes without saying.
