1 V 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.
