ASHVILLE. TENN. May
The IncMunt bombardment of
the VoI» flinger* ha* almost
driven Bill Schwartz Insane and his
frenzied shrieks for "Hellup” on the
hurling hill has completely upset Mr. i
Hirsig. who was jogging along ho
serenely, dreaming dreams of hunting
fluttering next year in his nice, new
ball park.
On the next platform we have seen
Mr Hlrslg wigwagging the distress

Smith is a portsldor and although !
this H his first season in fast society,
coming from the corner lots in Cln-;
cinnati, he has shown the making of a
great pitcher.

quite a few years back and old age
doesn’t seem to have the same ef

Memphis has offered the Vols a
pitcher for Case, but the deal Is still
hanging fire until waivers have been
secured from all the other clubs.
Hirsig made a desperate attempt
to land Rube Benton, the ex-Lookout

feeling of pride that he should carry 1
to his grave. *
The work of this great pitcher this
spring has attracted so much atten
tion that The Atlanta Georgian sent
telegrams to all the leading batter*
who have faced him. asking their
opinions as to Ills ability and their
reaeons for such. To a man they
award him the honor of being the
“King of all pitchers,” and their ex
planation is "An*unparalleled com
bination of brain and physical abil

William Brennan. EAgon's umpire
partner Mathewson would have been
a success in any business he had
started in. Why, he is a student of
the game and he would have been a
tile same in any other business he had
tackled. I have seen Mathewson
many times talking to his infielders
in order to steady them in a critical
stage of the game, says Brennan. It
is generally the infield that Is talking
to the pitcher. Mathewson would
have become a master at chess had he
opinions appeared Matty dropped Ids : devoted as much time to that game as
first game of the season, being beat
3 to 2 by Chalmers of Philadelphia.
In the opinions of Matty's prow
ess from famous batters and players
of both leagues are the following,
nil a gladly given testimonial to
Mathewson, who. despite his thir
teen years of continuous service in
the National League, is regarded as
the star of the game in his pitching
specialty.

who came to the Cleveland club from that I have been playing with the
he Im* to baseball, for he is without
doubt the greatest student of the
game we ha#- ev«?r had.
Better in 1912 than 1909.
Jake Stahl, Manager of th»* R>d
Sox- The first time I ever bait *d
against Mathewson was in 1903 The
next time was during the last world’s
series, lie was much better the last
time. I think Mathewson will be one
of the world’s greatest pitchers for
many years to come. I leave seen lots
of pitching, but I never saw, or ex
pect to see again, anything like the
work of Mathewson in the last game
at Boston that he won. No pitcher
can ever hope to get any nearer per
fection. He had much more stuff on
I tlie hall in 1942 thun he did in 1909.
and in a week lie had discovered the
weaknesses of our* batters that other
pitchers had not noticed after work
ing against them for several years.
Matty has n wonderful brain, and his
W ILLIE RITCHIE is very much
annoyed that so many light
weights, heretofore contend
ers and good box office attractions,
have been dropped out of the running
without leaving at least an equally
attractive card to take their places.
He figures now that there are only
two contenders left for him to con
sider and he Is getting to be some
what anxious lest they, too, he
dropp'd by the wayside before nis
vaudeville engagement closes so he
can get to them. He says the field
is narrowing down so fast that he
fears there will be no really good m.in
left for him to fight unless a halt
Is called. Rivers and Cross are »he
only ones he now looks upon as wor
thy of serious consideration. He
wants the public to nominate the
challenger who he will meet July 4
and promises to take him on. Less
than a month henow lie will be ready
to start preparations for defending
his title Independence Day.

Bill Dahlen, Manager pf the Brook
lyn Club—1 look upon MathexVvon
to-day a* just as good a pitcher
a* he was years ago. In former years
lie worked harder while he was in
the box, but, he knows more now and,
of course, works much easier. After
watching him pitch that To-Inning
game for the Giants against my dull

what l hjive ; Iways said about him,
and that i* that lie is without any

Rucker Praises “Big Six.”
Nap Rucker, star lwirier of tlie
Brooklyn club—When you hear peo
ple say aid read in the papers about
Mathewson being the greatest pitcher
in the country, that is absolutely
the truth, and. furthermore, it is not
exaggerating tilings a bit. Matty is
certainly a wonderful twirier, and 1
am sure that he will be just as good
in years to come as he is at the pres
ent time T wish him every success,
and I only hope that 1 will be aide to
go along and pitch as he has for
many years.
Manager Huggins, of the St. Louis
team With his wonderful control
Matty does not have to use speed.
The reason Mathewson is pitching
such wonderful ball to-day is becuuse
he knows every minute what he is
going to do with the ball. 1 never
saw any one pitcher who could put
the ball where he wanted it like the
big fellow
Ifcd Konetehy. St Louis first base-
man Why. I never could hit him
and expect to go along the same way.

and l stood flat-fiw)ted waiting, for a
walk. Some players' have told me
that they could hit him. but l can’t,
and that is all 1 have to say. Matty
is as good to-day as he was ten
years ago. and ranks with the best
in the game.

against the Red Sox. In the las;

His work was not only a revelation,
but 1 felt that 1 was at last seeing
what 1 had always longed to see the
ideal pitcher. I knew the failings of
our batters, and every time 1 pulled
for him not to pitch’a certain kind of
a ball that was exactly the one he
pitched. His control was perfect and
his brain work was uncanny. I doubt
if baseball ever sees another pitcher
like Mathewson. He ought to last
six or seven years longer.

voar after year, can do so unless ne
fakes the best care of himself both
during and after the playing season.
Besides. Mathewson is h student of
the game. He is always studying the
strong and weak points of the vari
ous batsmen. He knows what th°y
can hit and what they can not hit -
and he feeds them what they can nol
get their bats against.
Wagner Puts In Boost.
Hans Wagner, of Pittsburg. in
speaking of Matty, says; “Mathewson
is the greatest pitcher ever seen on
the diamond,

many times and just when I thought
I had him. he would shoot one over

Why. I look ilfvon the big fellow as
the greatest pitcher we have ever

saying that the Giant twirier is bet

they find it exceedingly difficult to
touch him in a pinch. He will last |
for many years because he reserves
his strength until it is needed. He
has a tantalizing way of giving a I
batter just the kind of a ball that he
doesn't want and still he gets enough
of it over the plate to *have it counted
batters for he can stick the ball just
where he wants to and when he wants
to. He uses his head more than the
ordinary run of pitchers, and knows
exactly what a batter ran hit and
what he can not hit. 1 always like
to face him because I know that 1
can feel safe and fake chance* on

a lot of speed but does not have to
use it often, because he has such a

No-Rim-Cut Tires
10% Oversize
Oversize
Means This
Ten'per cent extra air capacity over
hooked-base clincher tires.
It means the same as extra width, which
costs you extra money. It means, on the
average, 2§ per cent more mileage.
No-Rim-Cut tires, with this 10 per cent
oversize, cost no more than clinchers.
More Than 10%
The oversize of No-Rim-Cut
tires is more than 10 per cent.
Actual comparison with six
makes of clinchers shows the av
erage oversize 16.7 per cent.
That means that you get in No-
Rim-Cut tires about one-sixth
more air capacity than you get in
clinchers. And air is what carries
the load.
You get this extra without extra
cost. For No-Rim-Cut tires now
cost the same as standard clincher
tires.
Then Add
This
You also get
in this new type
a tire that can’t
rim-cut. A
clincher tire
can and does.
Statistics show that 23 per cent of
all clincher tifes become rim-cut.
No-Rim-Cut Tires
With or Without
Non-Skid Treads
Those are the reasons why
clincher tires must go. Men will
not stand this rim-cut ruin when
a new-type tire prevents it.
Men are bound to demand an
oversize tire when they know what
it adds to their tire mileage.
No-Rim-.Cut tires now outsell
all others. Their sales are doub
ling over and over.
When you know these tires, as
legions do, you will never buy any
others. Come
let us show
them to you.
