JOHNSON IS CHEERED
BY PITTSBURGH FANS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

PITTSBURGH, October S.-The
name of Walter Perry Johnson has
been emblazoned on with Il new bril-
lance in the armament of base ball
history.
The "Old Master" the Big Train"
or whatever you choose to call him.
pitched this year the opening game
of a world series that was expected of
him just II months ago. The psy-
chology of peculiar situation un-
nerved Johnson year ago. Virtually
all of the base ball world was pulling
for him to win. The strain upset him.
In the opening game this year
Johnson was back TO normally and
once more was just the peerless pitch
ing machine which has kept him in
the front rank of big league twirlers
for just short of a score of years.
1t is a great tribute to the sports
manship Of Pittsburgh that in the
hour of her bitter defeat-and the
losing of that first game of the series
was gall and wormwood to half mil
lion souls-more than 10000 repre-
sentatives of the Pittsburgh district
rose in the ball yard and paid a roar
ing tribute TO the nohlest old Roman
of all the visiting Nationals.
There was a wild curiosity here in
Pittsburgh to see Johnson pitch.
Numbers of those who Travelled hun
drcds and thousands of miles to get
here for the first two games Of the
sefes frankly avOwed that they had
come to see Walter perform. The
Big Train is more of a tradition in
base ball than most people suppose.
II is true that out-and-out Pitts
burghers had not expected him to
pitch so we'll 1t is of no little worri
ment to the Pittsburgh roo'nrs to con-
template the fact that NJ Is cchnie's
brilliant young players must face
Walter Johnson again before the Sc
ries is at an end.
Base ball men here for the series
are saying that PittsburSh's falling
short of real greatness is due to the
absence of anything approaching in
spirational leaders. The Pirates are
mechanically wonderful team al
ways in the field and generally at bat.
But il takes more than mechanics to
win world series. There must be a
money drive" sure will to win.
The Pirates have this in spots, indi-
vidually, but not apparently as team.
Still it is unfair to say that even
against them OF the showing against
Johnson.

Big Six as he was known because
of his stature, batled intermittently
wttll tuberculosis for FIVE yearS He
went to France in 1918 after three
years as manager of the Cincinnati
Reds. Returning as coach of the New
York Giants, with whom he had
played for II seasons, he was taken
Saranac Lake.
End Came Suddenly.
The battle for health apparently
won in 1928, he became president and
part owner of the Boston Braves.
He caught cold on the Spring train
ing trip of the Braves last Spring
and was forced to return to his camp.
Less than a month ago his physician
reported that he was holding his own.
The end came rapidly and uneXpect-
edly.
His wife, who had nursed him dur
ing the years of his illness, was at
his bedside. The only child. Christy
Mathewson. jr., is at college. Fu-
neral services will be held at Lewis
town, Pa, Saturday. His body will be
taken from Saranac Lake tonight.
Mathewson followed base ball
through the newspapers virtually to
the end. Last Fall he attended the
New York world series games be-
tween the Giants and the Nationals
and wrote daily articles for a news
paper syndicate. Invalided. he turned
to checkers. Players from all over
the country came to match their skill
against his.
Son Student at BucknelI.
Christy Mathewson. jr., is a student
at Bucknen, where his father was
hero because of his foot ball and
base ball prowess before he became
the idol and gentleman of the dia-
mond. How Mattys zeal for his
country's aid led to the illness that
ended his career prematurely at 45
Is explained by Mrs Mathewson.

Oh. 1 says, I put him out on the
back porch SOS you could have a
quiet morning, 1 don't want you

George merely says humph or some
thing.
When breakfast was over, I got
him the Sunday papers and started
to fill his pipe for him. just like 1
used to in the old days, but George
give me traffic signal at that. Hey
Jennie. I'd rather do that my own
self, he says, women never did know
how to fill a pipe and never will

Well naturally after that I give
1t to him, but l lit match which he
left me do, and 1 didn't SINCE his
eye brows much, neither. Then I
kissed him lightly on the forehead
and tripped gaily off to do my dishes,
George looking after me like he
thought he was cuckoo, all of which

parlor where George was reading the
financial news, and 1 set down to the
piano and commenced to sing.
Well. George looked up with the
expression of a wild man. What on

that any true woman would realize
IN how great a degree the happi-

hands. and act according.
Well, one OF the things which we

tie things that counted with man
which she used to do before she hook

the bait, why the poor fish could light
his own pipe, fetch his own ash tray,
and etc. According to this editor, the
perfect wife wouldn't hardly let her
husband wash his own personal teeth.
But it also seems where this editor
claimed that the business of cooking
the supper onions in full evening
dress and bringing them to the table
smelling like q violet yourself, or
keeping a perfect marcel wave, a fol-
lies figure and dental ad smile while
manicuring the parlor rugs was really
the least important side of the ques-
tion of being a thoroughly good wife.
Every man in his heart is a Turk,
says this editor, and he likes his wife
to be a kinda one-girl harem. on the
same order as them one-man bands
you see in the vaudeville shows,
where the feller plays the piano with
his toes, the harp with, his hands,
the cymbals with his shoulder blades,
the mouth organ with his face, and
the traps with his left knee.
Yes, says Mr.. Editor. yes he says,
men like to be amused, to be enter
tanned. And then he went on to point
out where in the counting days,
meaning the days when the both OF

conversation lag, she would do every
thing she could to amuse the boy and
lead him into thinking where life was

pretty little parlor tricks which his
wife would go on inventing new and
fresh year after year. And the editor
further claimed that If only she
would keep up a healthy talent as a
first-class dancer, and piano player,
and singer, and refuse to grow any
older, why the chances of friend hus-
band forgetting to kiss her when he
went to work in the morning would
grow daily less.

tail as that. He was writing in a
high, uplifting, spiritual tone, and
