7 THE ATLANTA OFORCUAN AND NEWS. MATTY OUT TO BAG 30 GUIS THIS SEASON By Sam Crane. C hicago, ill., Aug. i.—Christy Ma>thewson, who was quite an old fellow In baseball as play ers go several years before Charlie Ebbeto 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 ami 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 rtick. But If these records persist In forcing themselvi s 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 .i 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, ft Is^strong evidence that he Is still there or thereabouts.
