THE ATLANTA GEORGTAN AND NEWS.
THIS SEASON
Bv Sam Crane.
C HICAGO, ILL.-, Aug. 1.—Christy
Mathewson, who was quite an
t old fellow in baseball as play
ers go several years before Charlie
Ebbets declared that the game was
only in Its Infancy, finds it necessary
to step out and give a real exhibition
of the art of pitching every now and
then to convince some folks that he
ha?' not gone into decay.
Matty is not usually prone to
amassing records. He discovered
some time back in the dark ages of
the game that a well-preserved arm,
protected from the strain of getting
records, paid dividends longer than
one that flashed all Its best stuff in
a short time and'then went out like
a fiame on a wet etiekr But if these
records persist 'in forcing themselves
upon him. he will not purposely step
aside to avoid them.
The Old Master is out to bag 30
victories this season. This is not a
record by any means, for Matty him
self has done better Several times in
the years gone by. but for a man
pitching in his th'rteenth year in the
big league, It is strong evidence that
he is still there or thereabouts.
