Christy Mathewson © 1 N. Y. Nationals HRISTY MATHEWSON, the Giants’ star twirler, is one of the most noted and popular players who ever handled a ball. And yet, during the early part of the present season, the ‘‘Peerless One’’ bad cause to wonder if fame really amounts to much, after all. The McGrawites and the Quakers were playing in Philadelphia, and being in a hurry to make a short cut to the dressing-rooms, ‘‘Matty’’ entered the pass gate and endeavored to brush through the turnstile. He was stopped immediately by the gatetender, who in- formed him that he would have to produce a pasteboard or get out. “But I’m Mathewson,’’ he explained. “Oh, quit your kidding !’’ was the come- back. ‘*‘Matty’ is out there on the field, practicing.’” Finally, to settle the matter, one of the club officials was summoned, and upon his identification the pitcher was admitted, though the turnstile guardian still shook his head in doubt. One of **Matty’s’’ best stories concerns a youth who played on the team with him during his college days. One day the player was hit in the face with a pitched ball, and among other injuries sustained abroken nose. The physicians were sum- moned to repair the damages, but he ab- solutely refused their services and said, “Let my nose alone and bring me a tele- graph blank.’” The wire was sent, and then he endured his sufferings like a martyr until the reply was received. “Now you can go ahead, doc; but fol- low these instructions,’’ and he handed the surgeon a yellow slip, which read, “Have nose set Greek. Do not like Roman. Dorothy.’’ Same Thing, Though —‘‘Your husband, madam, is suffering from voluntary inertia."’ ‘Poor fellow! And here I've been telling him he’s just lazy.’’—Balti- more American.
