1 08 ANGELES, Dec. 6.—Boys of
the Normandie Avenue School
are carrying their heads high,
with an air of patronizing condescen
sion fur their less fortunate fellows
of other schools.
Christopher Mathewson, Jr., came
to their school—each of them has
achieved distinction for life, for he Is
a schoolmate of Young Matty.
Christopher Mathewson—the great,
peeriess Matty, brought tyis son, and
the boys all saw him.
Had Christopher f'olumbus sailed
his caravels into Los Angeles harbor
and motored Into fhe playground and
made an egg stand on end for each
individual boy, the school could not
have been more excited.
Had President Wilson’s daughter,
Jessie, been a boy and come to play
football with them Instead of getting
married, the sensation out at Nor
mandie and Vernon avenues would
have been mild compared with the
Mathewson sensation.

against the impertinent curiosity of
the whites—their stoical demeanor
*nd Ita vocative expression.
When hope was flickering itn last
flick, a falling log in the open fire
place threw a spurt of flame across
th* room. It was bright enough to let
me catch an unmistakable flicker of
fun in the eyes behind the huge lenses
of the great ateel-rimmed spectacles.
I believe Warner wears these not for
'he purpose of seeing more clearly,
but to hide how clearly he does see -
most often. I could not flatter myself
that I had hidden my embarrassment
from the kesn eyes of the man whose
wonderful plumbing of the hidden
depths of the Indian mind is alone
responsible for the placing of tho
Carlisle team upon the very pinna
cle of football fame.
Warner Greatest Trainer.
And Just a moment before 1 get to
the real meat of this Interview’—the
things Warner himself said—while i
record the opinion of those who know
him best. It is just this: That Jhe
Carlisle coach Is the greatest trainer
and manager of athletes the world

“Kids, did you see him smile right
at me when he said ‘Good morning?’ ”
“Look at the length of his arms!
He’s got a longer reach than Jim Jef
fries!’’
Close to Matty and his son was an i
awe-hushed circle
. farther away, out
of earshot, the boys were all talking
at once and no one listening. The
boy who was late at school will regret
his tardiness with a poignancy never
experienced before over similar of
fense.
Live in Bungalow.
Mathewson and Mrs. Mathewson
and Christopher, Jr., are living in a
bungalow’ over at No. 1337 West For-
ty-eighth street, a few blocks away,
and some of the boys—not many, for
it was very early—enjoyed the added
distinction of seeing the “Big Train”"
romping with little Matty and giving
him some lessons in the rudiments of
baseball on a vacant lot near the
bungalow before .he cranked up his
tiny new’ automobile and took the boy
to school.
The son of Mathewson is but 7
years of age, and he isn’t a big leaguer
yet, but he takes to baseball like a
duck, to water. He is a dark-com
plexioned, winsome little chap; it is
evident he has the head for the game
and the aptitude, and in due time,
with years and his daddy's training,
he will have the physique. But he’ll
probably disappoint all the new’
friends ne made by becoming a great
engineer or a railroad president, in
stead of the brainiest pitcher of his
generation.
“1 haven’t
said that he was far and away *
greater fighter. His wonderful ring
record, showing battles extending
over a period of seventeen years. Is
indisputable evidence of his claa.
“Cyclone Johnny” Thompson, th*
Sycamore (Ill.) farmer comes from
Danish parentage, although he was
born in Ogle County, Ill. Thompson's
ring career, which he claims is stilt
unfinished, began in 1902, and to-day
he is 37 years old. It would be hard
to find a more interesting or unique
struggle for honors than' that put up
by Thompson.
Fought in Many Classes.
The record book shows that he ha#
fought in more classes than any oth
er fighter. As a lightweight he mac;#
a promising start, later he fought **
a welter, then as a middleweight, and
finally took on heavies. As a middle
weight the “Cyclone” scored his
greatest victory when he defeated
Billy Papke, who held the title.
The newest Dane to enter the field
is Kid Williams, of Baltimore.

hat Thorpe was made an athlete ab
solutely against his will. “Nothin’ in
It for me,” he would often say when
irged to practice In his early days.
His mind was fixed upon the material
things—fame and applause mattered
not at all. he could not feel, taste or

worked and thought result, world’s

Thorpe Is true of scores of slightly
lesser stars of the gridiron, diamond
and cinder-track Armaments.
The question that produced the
flicker aforementioned wan: “How

Warner snorted and shifted his 250
pounds of principally muscle In the
evi&th&n leather chair. “It's just
about as wrong as It ran be,”, h#
retorted. “Carlisle is an Industrial

J OHN M’GRAW Is telling some In
teresting stories of his expe
rience on the present world tour
of the Giants and White Sox. One of
the funniest, he thinks, is the ap
pearance at every stopping point of
some rustic who believes he is a
Mathewson or a Johnson in the mak
ing. and only wants McGraw to give
him a chance to prove it. “We have
not played a town where some fel
low’ has no^ braced me and thought
that he wak a big leaguer and ready
to take his place with the Giants next
year so as to help win the world’s
championship,” says McGraw. “Most
of them carry their batting averages
and a scrapbook with the press com
ments on their showings for my in
spection. We give all these boys a
F ROM a number of standpoints the
Dane has not played an Impor
tant part in the making of pug
ilistic history, but when the success
of the Danish race is taken into con
sideration the fact is plainly dem
onstrated that few nations can claim
the honor of having three fighting
sons—such a select few who might be
counted on the fingers of a Mordeeai
Brown pitching hand.
The mention of three names is suf
ficient evidence of what the Dane has
amounted to in the fighting game,
and as further evidence of the class
of the boys who bear them it is only
necessary to state tjiat one of them
was a world's lightweight champion,
the other a claimant for the middle
weight crown, with as good a right
to the title as any of the other con
tenders, while the third, practically a
newcomer in the game, bids fair to
soon become bantamweight champion
of the world.
Greater Danish Fighter,
a Matthew Battling Nelson un-
-doubtedly was the greatest Danish
fighter that ever crawled through the
ropes to do battle.. What Nelson has
done in pugilism has been much, in
fact so much that the "Durable
Dane as he is familiarly termed by
the glove fraternity, realized the fact
.and wrote a book of his caarer and
without disparaging Nelson's, ability
as an author, it can truthfully he
much
thought to what the boy is going to
be,” said Mathewson. “You see he is
only a little boy yet, and there's lots
of time to think of that when he be
gins to show his natural bent.
“But I am a great believer in the
benefits of baseball for the American
boy. It Is a great game, a democratic
game. I don't see how any other
game could take its place In the de
velopment of the character of Amer
ican boys. It gives them nimbleness
of body and mind. It makes them
quick of decision and brim full of
energy. It teaches them the impor
tance of teamwork in everything
they do and gives them opportunity
to develop the faculty of leadership.
“California has a great climate for
baseball, and the boys here have a
| chance to enjoy the game through a
| long season when snow and rain stop
j it in the East. This State has sent a
; fine lot of players to the big league,
and I’ll bet there are a lot of young
sters playing here now on the school
grounds and vacant lots that will be
big leaguers when they grow up. Any
way, they will be better men for the
fun they have had at the game.
McGraw Discouraged.
“Talking of climate, McGraw told
me it would rain three months at a
time out here. But you’ve had a fine
rain and now these are wonderful
days. We’ve been motoring about
every day, seeing the country, and I
expect to do a lot of that during the
winter. I plan to see about all of
Southern California In that way. I
arranged hurriedly to come out when
McGraw found he was short of pitch
ers for the Western trip, and did not
have time to ship my car. When I
saw these splendid California roads, l
went and bought a little car just for
the winter. Yesterday I took the
family out to the ostrich farm. The
day before that I took a drive through
the San Gabriel country and enjoyed
some golf at the San Gabriel Country
Club. To-day I am going out there
for some more golf. I’m mighty glad •
I did not let McGraw scare me away
from California with that yarn of his
about ‘raining here for three months
at a stretch.’ ”

students have usually been the most
capable players. Even the trips
away to games are made to bring an
educational value to the whole school.
The fellows on the team are encour
aged to give talks to their societies
and classes, on their return from
each of these, about the things they
have seen and their impression.
Another thing I’d like to say about
the Indians in connection with these
trips,” he added, after a pause, “Is
that they seem to take naturally to
the ways of civilization. It’s mar
velous how they accommodate them
selves to their surroundings in such
a manner as to give the impression
that they are to the manner born. I
used to worry about the newcomers
on their first trips in Pullman cars
and diners or in the first-class hotels.
I don’t worry any more now, how
ever. They watch others before they
do anything, and their powers of ob
servation are so keen that they rare
ly ever make a bad break.”
“That should be a valuable feature
in the making of football men,” I ob
served.
“It is,” responded Warner. “They
watch everything and everybody and
they never forget.”
“What method do you use in the
beginning of making players?” I que
ried.
“Put all the available material on
the field and teach them all the fun
damentals. Practically none of the
boys have any knowledge of sports
when they come here. Then, no mat
ter how good they prove to be, they
have to go through the mill. Because
a man. at first glance, shows tho ma
terial for a good«back, he is not play
ed in that position alone. No man Is
considered too important to go
through all the paces and play all
the positions. That is one of the
reasons for Carlisle’s success on the
gridiron, and why there is, as a rule, 1
no weakness on the team. It accounts,
too. for a large measure of its suc
cess in spite of the fact that it has
always been noted for lightness in
weight seldom averaging more than
3 70 pounds per man.”
“Does it take long to develop the
players ?“
Guyon and Calac Stars.
*‘Not as a rule. Most of my best
men hate qualified in their first year. I
as. for instance. Joe Guyon and Calac,
stsr hacks this year, who made

their success agairifet the
athletics is a fair criterion of what
the Indians could do If given the same
equal opportunity in other fields of
endeavor.”
“It seems to me,” 1 said, “that the
fact that the Indians win so many
games away from home denotes a
lack of what is called temperament.”
“Don’t Worry,” Indian Motto.
“Don’t worry, is the Indian motto.
The boys are good sports and the best
losers in the world. That’s the reason
tliey win so many games away from
their own dunghill. Their lack of
temperament enables them to meet
unusual conditions easilv so that
travel and change of food, excite
ment, and so forth, do not affect them
as is the case with white boys. Don’t
think,” he added, “that the boys don’t
hate to lose. They do. hut they are
philosophical about it. Many Ameri
can sportsmen could take a lesson
from the Indians in the matter of
bearing losses man-fashion. In fact,
the demeanor of the Indians every-
where wins them*the friendship of
the people who witness their games.
Thq crowds—fans of the home - teams
—invariably root for the Indians, and
prominent people in each city that
wc go to unite in bidding for the op
portunity to entertain them. But,
in spite of all this, they are invariably
modest and gentlemanly. The swelled-
head is practically unknown among
them. They are undoubtedly the most
popular team In the country.”
