THIS SEASON
By Sam Crane.
C hicago, ill.. Aug. i—Chruty
Mathewson. who was quite an
old fellow In baseball as play
ers go several vears 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
has* 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 flame on a wet etiek. 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
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 thirteenth year in the
big league, it Is strong evidence that
he is still there or thereabouts.

hour. To-night Morty says he will

He has beaten Luther and Lockner
in special mkteh races. To-night he
will try to show Billy Shields how to
ride. This event is carded for two
miles, and is for the best two heats
in three.

last night when he refused to go on
with Kid Brooks in their scheduled fin

Duke and settle for once and all time
who is the better of the two, but Duke
