STARTS LIKE
FAMOUS
STAR
Both College Heroes in
Same Sports-Even
Look Alike.
By EDGAR T. GLEESON

If Ernie Movers makes good as a
pitcher with the st. Louis Browns
this season his case will furnish IN
exact parallel TO that of the late
Christy Mathewson. The college
careers of Ernie and "Big Six" are
strangely alike. Both excelled in the
same branches of sport. Both turned
to pitching when their college days
were over. They even look alike.
1t is doubtful il there will ever
be another pitcher as great as Math-
ewson. He combined everything in
the way of physical and mental ab!l'
ity-plus a nature that was ideally
suited 10 the hectic struggles OF the
diamond. No member of the baseball
fraternity was more entitled to wear
the mantle of the "Old Master"
In all his splendid career as a
pitcher with the New York Giants,
Mathewson was never known to fall
ter or finch before the attack of the
opposing clubs. He carried the bur-
den as Giant mainstay through
scores Of hard-fought series. Often.
times it was by his head and hand
alone that the Giants triumphed.
| think it has been universally
agreed that Mathewson Represented
the highest type in pitching and
playing line. In the days of hls
early strength he set up a record OF
three shutout victories in a worlds
series that has never been equaled
Later, when some of his binding
speed deserted him he evolved new
deiiyery--thc fadeaway-a style in
which control was the greatest fac
tor, Matbewson became greater
master of control than he had been Of
speed. -.-
A BIG BLOW.
His death on the opening day OF
the worlds series last year, just as
his famous rival, Walter johnson,
was pitching Washington TO its
first victory over the Pittsburgh Ma
tionals, struck a blow at the heart
of baseball. Mathewson was held in
deeper affection than any other
player. He was game, a hard-tiglh-
ing competitor, a splendid sports
man,
One Of these days they will begin
casting about for successor TO
Mathewson. IL is barely possible
that some rising type like Ernie New
crs NAV be selected as a candidate.
Without indulging in any wild spec
ulation it is still possible to predict
successful career for the Santa
Rosa, Cal, player. II close study

pitching line TO date it might bC
