FAMOUS HURLER
MATHESOND
"Big SIX, Basebalps Great Idol,
Passes at Lake Saranac
Late Wednesday

SARANAC, LAKE, N. Y, Oct 8.
.-Christy Mathewson, big six of
baseball, and president and part
owner of the Boston Braves, died
here at IL o'clock last night.
CHRISTOPHER Mathewson, better
known as "Christy' was one of the
greatest pitchers the game has ever
known.
He was born at Factorville, Pa,
Aug. IL, 1880. He went to Key
stone Academy and later to Buck
nell University, where he starred as
both football and baseball player.
He Joined the Giants in 1900, but
lacked experience, and was 'farmed'
to the Virginia League. At the
end of the first season, the Gin
cinntai Reds drafted him, but the
New York iGants secured him in a
trade for Amos Rusie. In his first
year as, major league pitcher, he
made remarkable showing, win
ming 20 and losing Is games.
He remained with the New York
club for IS years, and during that
time pitched more games than any,
other National League twirler has
ever done.
In Is of the Is years he starred
as a National League pitcher, he
succeeded in winning 20 or more
games. In only two years did he
fall below the 500 mark in percent
age. No pitcher ever had greater
control. His best year as to games
won, was in 1908, when he won 81
and lost II for percentage of III.
His best record was in 1909, when
he won 25 and lost 6, for mark of
.8O6.
Mathewson pitched two no-hit
games during his career. On July
is, 1901, against St. Louis and
June 10, 1905, against Chicago.
Winning 80 games is considered
most extraordinary, yet Mathewson
turned that trick in three consecu-
tive seasons, 80 in 1903, 80 in 1904
and 81 in 1905. His best world Sc.
ries performance was in 1904
against the Athletics. He pitched
three shutout games in as many
starts. Mathewson pitched in four
world series. In 1904 against the
Athletics he won MS three starts. In
1911 against the Athletics ne won
one and lost two games. In l9l2
oaoirst the Boston Red Sox he was
unable to win. losing two and tie
inc one game. Against the Athie-
tics in 1918 he won one and lost
one

Cuyler was the hero of the sec
ond game of the 1926 series for
worlds championship, when in the
eighth inning he poled a four-bag-
ger, scoring Eddie Moore ahead of
him. For seven innings the two
contenders fought, with neither side
giving way to the othre. Aldridge
did some pretty pitching in the fifth
and ninth when he had the bases
loaded with no one down, coming
out of the hole in graceful manner.
Other features of the game were
the home runs of Joe Harris of the
Senators, and Glenn Wright of the
Buccaneers. Rice's hitting was also
a feature. Peckinpaugh at short
stop, made two errors for the Sena-
tors, but did not help Washington
to lose. 1t was simply a case of
Pittsburg out-hitting Washington.
Preceding the second game of
the worlds baseball classic a me-
mortal service in the memory of
Christy Mathewson, better known
to the American baseball public
as big Six" was held by the
Pittsburg and Washington players
and officials.
At one o'clock the players of
both teams with mourning bands on
their sleeves lined up at the plate
and marched to the front of the
field where the memorial services
were held for the famous hurler
who died yesterday. The $4,000
fans witnessing the game all stood
with bowed heads while the band
played and gigantic American
flag flying over the field was low
cred to half mast.
The pitchers for today's game
are Coveleski for the Senators and
Aldridge for Pittsburg. Smith is
catching for Pittsburg. The UNI
pires: At the plate, Owen,

tionals, at the plate is Rigler. The
