POLO GROUNDS, XKW York, Oct 11 Tin* fickleness of the baseball fan never was better evidenced than today, when the R< d Sox and Giants met in the sixth and perhaps last game of the world's series. An hour before game time, there was only a scattering of fans in the bleacher seats and lower grand stand. and not the semblance of a crowd outside the park. Mathewson a Marvel. Before I go any further, 1 must get all this enthusiasm out of my Bystem about Christy Mathewson, gamest and greatest of all living pitchers. He pitched THE game of his long career Saturday and was beaten, but my hat goes off to him. After all. it was the old. old story—youth must be served. Here was an epic battle between a tried and true veteran and an un heard-of .youth. We older fans in that Boston crowd felt a pang of regret when we saw the fail of the mighty Ma thewson Yet. th mgh beaten in a sportsmanlike, fair, clean battie by a yhunget man wln -e muscles were more supple whose enthusi asm was greater, and whose ambi tion spurred him on to his ultimate effort New Yi rk' idol pulled him self together when he saw the tide of haul" going against him. and, aft< r all the harm hud been done, rose in hi s might and gave one of the most remarkable pitching exhi bition.' I er er saw After the Third ‘‘Nothing Doing.” After one mat’ had been put out in the third inning. Mathewson did not permit a Red Sox runner to reach first base. They quailed be fore his pitching, these hard hit ting speed boys, and went down in one-two-tln < e order in every in ning. only two balls were knocked to the outfield. M. it!) s iist effor| was the sudden renewal of his skill of other days He became young again. The hall flew over the plate with remarkable speed, his pace Changed, and Ins tangents dipped tantalizingly over and under the Boston bats Gamemss and grit ami Matty's remarkable taient of outguessing batsmen made up for his missing strength. That eleven-inning game of Wednesday had been the tough est game he had pitched in half a dozen years, but he went confident ly and willingly into the flay He knew his best days as a pitcher were over, but he rose to a su preme effort and showed that he was still master of his art. Giants Have Given Up. 1 o» tile fir-t time tn tin seri, s I noticed Saturday that aft.. the third inning the Giants failed to show the tight that had marked tlutr previous engagements My conclusion is that after their de feat Friday at th. hand of Wood they figured th.-it .>i y remaining hole was Mathewson, at. with his defeat their hope of winning a worlds’ championship iiad practi cally fled. 1 feared on account of that tin fortunate collision betwe.n .'adv and Fletcher at the plate on the Polo gtounis I nl.o the telations between the two teams might b< - com. straim-d. but tint, was no semblance of any !««••• f.. ing S. t t day t '.idy ..mi I •t.

As might be expected when star pitchers, hacked by star teams, .meet in the world's series, low hit games are not uncommon. In fact, the history of the world's baseball combats show’s that 14 times pitch ers have held opponents to less than five hits. Retilbach, of the Gubs established the record, holding the White Sox to one hit in a game in 1906. Walsh and Brown pitched two-hit games the same year. Here is the record: One-Hit Game. Octobei Hl.

IT is a natural thing that about the first set of queries that an interest in athletics stimulates is: "What is the determining physi cal factor of athletic ability? What is the outward mark of an athlete? What are we to look for in an athlete as the mark of his prowess? Or. what would be the evidence that this or that man could be an athlete if he would but go through the necessary preparation? Are there any signs of the potentially great athlete? What is the key to It all, anyway?" In every activity of interest, to any great number, some such ques tions are always asked. It is only natural that they should be. Possibly we may arrive at an answer most easily through a proc ess of the elimination of the most commonly presented tentative an swers. The layman argues very simply and’readily that since athletics is a physical activitj physical equip ment is the keynote; and since in the various athletic events certain particular muscles carry the great est burden, then the physical pro portion in which those particular muscles are predominant is ideal for that branch of athletics, and will, therefore, bespeak either the finished athlete in that line or at least one who possesses very defi nite potentialities in that direction. But we don't have to search far before we find that this test fails. For as the football seasons con clude and the track season rolls around we find that the man who was playing end and was light for the position Is the premier ham mer thrower of the bunch, and the big rangy tackle is busy with the pole Appearances Deceiving. If we take this test and carry it through a great range of fields and a large number of instances it will seem rather that to be fit tingly proportioned for a given event is an Immediate disqualifi cation for it. Why. th* fastest man I ever knew was pudgy not just heavi ly muscled, but fat. with a fat man's build—-long-bodied and snort-legged! Vnd one of the thinnest, if not THE thinnest man I ever saw in a track suit was an exceptionally good weight man.

A bulktly muscled man is sup posed to have strength for slow, heavy work, but little endurance. And yet I saw* a man finish a two-mile race easily with a broad smile. His time was 9:55. And to look at him you would lake him for the under man in a three-high tumbling crew. Another Rule W r ong. tin the other hand, a man with thin, wiry “striated" muscles is. by al! the rules of muscular procedure slated as of little hull strength, but of great endurance. I know of a man of such a build who could lift a 150-pound dumbbell over his head to arm's length with one hand. And he xvas 70 years old. This test, too, must be elimi nated. Then xve come to the real work of an athlete—the real determining factor And that is itis “gather.” And \x hat I mean by a man's "gather" will be clear in the fol io xv i n g: Do you know gas engines weli enough to knoxx what goes on in sidt a six-cylinder engine? The terrific power that they develop is not done without plenty of stir and racket. For every gasoline engine of that type is a veritable gatling gun -a six-barreled gatling gun. t The gas is the poxv.lt r and the pis tons are the bullets, the only dif ference being that the piston is a sou of boomerang bullet. It starts out of tite barrel fast enough, but bet'• . it has cleared the muzzle it slows down, stops and starts back loi more. And it gets it. Ami this is done time and time again. BIT AT EVERY EXPLOSION THAT GAS HAS DONE ITS WORK AND IS DEAD Before the barrel tires again fresh gas must come in. This Is arranged tor by | the letting in of a fresh charge. Muscle Like Engines. A muscle xxorks in almost the same way The anatomical ele ments of the muscular tissue, the tiny pieces of the muscles them- I selves, are almost bombs When the neve carries the message to any muscle it acts a- the spark acts on a cylinder full of gas.

The ability to concentrate on a single supreme effort, whether a leap or a heave or throw, makes no difference. For each it is the “gath er.” And this co-ordination is a matter df ndlvous control. The timing of the explosion is deter mined by the timing of the spark. The nervous impetus is the spark. For the man that has a normal bal anced nerve equipment that requi site control is a matter of clear aim and persistent effort. RECORD-BREAKING CROWD SEES CUBS DEFEAT SOX CHI' AGO. Oct. 14.—The Chicago Na tional league club defeated the local club of the American league. 4 to 2, yesterday, in the series which is to decide the city championship. This is the second victory for the Nationals Twit games resulted in ties. The game xvas a battle between Walsh and Reulbach. Walsh allowed seven hits, two of which were doubles and one a home run. while Reulbach was touched for eight, four of which were doubles. Never before has so large a crowd passed through the turnstiles of the National league park here. The official attendance as announced by the Na tional commission xvas 30.393; the total receipts $21,197. Os this amount, the National commission will receive $2.- 119.70; each club gets $3,815.46. and $1 1,446.38 goes to the players' pool. The crowd became so unmanageable in the early part of the game that i' xvas impossible for a large detail of police to keep them from crowding onto the infield. A dozen or more park attaches and ushers went to the assistance of the police, and when this failed to put the crowd back the National league play ers, each armed with a bat. went to the rescue. After some time the crowd xvas s|uieted, and the game was re sumed. WARNER DENIES THAT HE AND THORPE HAD FIGHT CARLISLE, PA.. Oct. 14.—Coach I Warner emphatically denies the news paper stories emanating from Pittsburg ■ the effect that he had a physical en counter xvith Captain "Jim" Thorpe alter the Washington and Jefferson game. The only occurrence which could have given rise to such a ridicu lous story was the fact that while wait, ing at the hotel in Pittsburg for the train home Coach Warner observed two admirers of Thorpe presenting him with a bottle of whisky. Warner called these fellows down in no mild language and also reprimanded Thorpe for ax - i etiting the bottle.

Chief Meyers lost his goat when he read a signed story by McGraw blam ing the Indian for losing Tuesday’s game when he missed a foul that hit the screen. He felt better when he found his manager had not written it. "The only thing I ever got for allow ing the use of my name was the loss of a good player." said Clark Griffith. "Sandow Mertes jumped to the Giants when 1 was managing the White Sox when he read a criticism under my name that 1 had never made.” As a matter of fact, very few ball players write their own stories. Ty Cobb watches every game carefully, but collaborates with Stony McG'jn, of Tiie Philadelphia Press. Jack Wheeler, of The New York Herald, writes Christy Mathewson's stories aft er talking them over with him. "RAGTIME” CHEERING BARRED AT ILLINOIS I'RRANA.
