pared to take him to q hospital.
But even his parents could not
persuade him to leave the grounds
until he had seen his idol pitch
. the one and only "Matty."
..Matty" was told about the little
fellow and asked me TO go with him
to say a word or two. We found
the lad suffering but his face
frightened as Matty appeared and
he tried to smile so bravely. l
took the little fellow by the hand
and he said: 81 wanted to see you
all these years, Mr.. Makty.'' When
/ told him I wasn't Metty he was
disappointed. Then g. man stand
ing by tried to explain: why,
sonny, this is Walter Johnson. the
famous ball player"
But Matty was his idol and ap-
parently he had never heard OF me.
In fact he remarked: Cant / say
hello to Mr.. Matty cause he's
more'n just ball player. He's a
great pitcher"
That, OF course, let me out but
Matty and / gave him an
autographed ball, and in return the
lad agreed to leave for the hospital
before the game began.
Here's another amusing incident
connected with the Giants. This
happened some years ago when
Washington was playing a series of
spring games with New York. We
were scheduled to meet in a little
town in Georgia. Arriving about
dinner time we went to the hotel
from the station. A number Of New
York players were I'm the lobby and
/ knew few OF them by sight.

Pete Kilduff. Max Carey. Beals
Becker and Casey Stengel.
My lineup included Gene Pack
ard, Claude Hendrix. Max Wheat,
Goldie Rapp. Zach Wheat, Baird,
who used to be with Pittsburgh, and
several other major league players.
Brick Owens and Charley Quigley
were the umpires and the game was
well played. We finally scored a
run in the last inning, winning 3
to 2. None Of the players netted
much cash, but we gave the people
in the little country town a base
ball treat, and that made the effort
worth while.
The last exhibition game / ever
pitched was at Brea, near Fuller
ton, Calf, October 81, 1924. IL
is an interesting coincidence that
eighteen years ago, In the same
little community, almost on the
same plot of ground, I played my
last game, as q school boy, before
going into professional ball. Our

Before the game, lunchwas served

The entire universe took its

Matched. Holland, Czechoslo-

Even China was in the bread

it drew for its merry little ten

to fool with in any language.
Making the Davis Cup pair
inRs is an annual formality
which requires frock tail coats,
tortoise shell glasses, high fore
heads and ability to pick a gold
fish out of a bowl without let
ting it bite at you.
The whole world watches this
procedure and there was a no
