Mathewson Advises

KANSAS CITY, MO., July 18.—Chris
ty Mathewson, the famous pitcher of
the New York Gilants, has sent a mes
sage 10 the boys of Kansas City
‘“Tell the boys of Kansas Clty that,
if they would be successful, be it base
ball or anything else,’” Mathewson's
message rung, ‘‘they must learn to cut
out doing those things that are dam
n{llng to their health and character.
They must not do such things as stay-
Ing out late at nights or anything =im
llar that Is hsrmful to them; and they
must learn to gay ‘no’ occasionally
when their companions suggest some
thing wrongful,”
The stalwart pitcher was eating his
dinner at the Auditorium Hotel, In
Chicago, on the New York club's re
cent. Western trip. The Rev. Harry C
Rogers. pastor of the Linwood Boule
vard Preshyterian Church, In Kansas
City, was stopping at the same hotel
He became acquainted with Mathewson
and one night asked him for a message
to bring back to the hoys of Kansas
City. Dr. Rogers told of {t Sunday in

‘Murphy Fired Great Little Sec
'
k ond Sacker and Then Said
'
‘ He Had Resigned.
1
FgNHE FEvers deal was the turning
'I point in the most sensational
season of baseball history. The
National League, in a few brief, hur
ried days, passed through a stress
which racked it to its foundations.
The national agreemen: for a time
seemed dissolving into thin alr. The
whole complex baseball structure
trembled to {te base. while millions of
spectators in all the hamlets of the
continent awaited the outcome in
tense silence,
And then, almost In a moment the
horizon cleare?, The Natlonal lLeague,
rogysed to a pitch of terrible earnest
ness never dispiayved before, backed
hy the compelling weight of publie
opinion, rid itseif of the most unpop
uler magnate baseball has ever had,
(‘haries Murphy. The national agree
ment was sustained; the Federal
L.eague, which had towered to threat
ening proportions, was sullenly balked |
of its prey, and Johp Evers, the man
of many misfortunes and many hon
ors, passed forever from the city
which had witnessed ten vears of his
triumphs, with & fortune in his
hands
In the August Baseball Magazine
Evers tells his own storv: :
By Johnny Evers.
?'FHFJ beginning of my dismissal, 1
suppose, dates back to the sign
ing of the original contract. That
contract contained a fatal defect in a
faulty or crafty wording which made
It possible for Murphy to twist it to
his own meaning. and at the same
time to be well within his legal rights
in doing so. I have been accused of
being too easygoing in a business
sense, [ suppose 1 am. The defect
has cost me dear. It wiped out the
savings of the ten best years of my
life when the shoe ventures | was
Interested in went to the wall, carry
ing with them $%525.,000—a1l the money
1 had in the world. Perhaps I should
have learned from experience and
heen more careful But Murphy,
whatever he had seemed to other peo
ple, had always treated me fairly, 1
am willing to confess I looked up to
Murphy. I had some admiration for
his energy and business ability, which
even his enemiee never denied, and I
have always had a natural inclina
tion to take the part of the under
dog--to stand beside the man who
has enemlies on every hand. 1 den't
know that Murphy's enemies gave
him much concern, thougn he cer
tainly had enough of them. And that
fsn't directly connected with the
question, In any case but what I
mean to sav is, I usually took Mur
phy's side in a controversy all the
vears ] worked for him, and even
now | have no feeling against him.
The most serious defect in his nature
wase that he was, first, last and all
the time. business. that he never al
lowed sentiment to swayv his actions
in the least. and that he was perhaps
Inclined to be not overscrupulous in
hig dealings. But these things, which
\re merely a sign of shrewd business,
Murphy would be the first to admit,
and, in fact, take pride in being de
scribed as ‘smart’ i

gave me my appoiniment for
five vears at a certain salary ‘
“] wase glad to be honored with the
managership of what had been the
greatest club in the world, and signed |
willingly enough, scarcely reading the
contract at all ‘
“Willlam Lock, witness to the con
tract, told Ban Johnson that I had
«lgned over a trap door
‘The enmity which existed between
Murphy and Ban Johnson arose, in
my opinion, from a feeling of jeal
ousy Both had been newspaper men
in the same town (Cincinnati): both
had made fortunes, but one had done
better than the other.
“Just what caused Murphy to dis
pense with my services In the way he
did has puzzled me. The reason he
offered was my so-called friendship
for Jimmy Callahan Callahan was
openly unfriendly to Murphy
‘Murphy also claimed 1 was re
sponsible for the loss of the city se
ries. The reason for this was that on
twn occasions 1 allowed a pitcher to
bat in turn instead of sending in A
pinch hitter. llf my judgment was
poor, Connie Mack's. during the last
world's series, was worse—and there
vou are!

him at least $lO,OOO in cash. This was
because the series only went SIX
games instead of seven The proceeds

it, would be about $lO,OOO

l ‘After Murphy had dismissed me
he claimed I had resigned. I must
l hiave heen unconscious at the time, as
i 1 have no recollection of it
“Murphy once asked me if I would
be willing to work as a player under

Of these three men the moving fin
ger pas stopped writing about two of
them, for they have ceased to be—at
least, in mortal habiliments. These
two. Rube Waddell and Ossie Shreck
engost, composed a battery the like
of which for mechanical skill has sel
dom been equaled. The third man,
who is still with us, to the great ben
efit of the Athleticg’ 1914 pennant
prospects, is Edward Plank, the left
handed pitcher.
- . .
Rl.'BE and Oasie were sports. They
looked at the lights wnen they were
white and at the wine when it was
red. Plank stayed at home, or at the
hotel, if the team was on the road.
Plank was, and is a man of simple
tastes, a man who in his life as a
farmer had come to know Nature too
well and too intimately to tryv to per
vert or drug his faculties. And last
Wednesday he shut out Detroit, one
of the teams the Athletics will have
to beat t§ win this year's pennant,
with three hits.
~ Also on last Wednesday about noon,
‘three hours and a half before Plank
started pitcning the above-mentioned
game, Shreck, his equal in age, col
lapsed. Numerous diseases afflicted
him, among them uremia. He was
beyond medical ald—"all in,' -as he
himself put it when he regained con
aciousness for a short space la!e]
Wednesday n:ght. Next morning he!
died and went to join Waddell, whol
had died one month before at San
Antonio, Texas, where he had gone.‘
not on a training trip, which is what
usually takes ball players there, hutl
to get ready to die of consumption
. . .
T HE Rube was so picturesque in his
grotesque escapades that Schreck
engost was relegated to a secondary
position in the folklore that gatherod
about the names of the famous bat
tery. It was the Rube who went fish
ing, it was the Rube who called in
the outfleilders in the ninth, and it

many years to come, barring acci

tribute to the sort of life he led. But
if example counts for anything, then
the example of how to li%e cleanly,
healthily and at the same time ath
jeticaly which Plank has given will
be something that every young ball
