Ho Mprely would ak for Christy Matliewon, former Hintr o" hurl-.rs, now in th grip "f the whlio plague. This ts the story of an act of Mathewson which stamps him as a real man, a true SDortflnin. Ti.at Matty always h.id this rputatlTi, that men bly and littlo stood rdy to risk a.r.ythingr on his word, th.- tal? to follow, kept aeret for thirteen years. will how.

meets to take action. They dorlde to have th-.- same replayed. Tho next day tho t'ams mret again ajid the Juba rt victorious. 4 to 2. All this is baseball history, known to every fan. But wha'' was known to only a handful of men unt',1 recently is how ths ltajtue directors re-ttcned thflr decision. That is tho nub of this etoiy. Hsre It Is: When th directors met they found a pile of affidavits dealing with the p'.ay in yjeation. Tht y opened perhaps a score. Ha.!f of these declared Mtrki ran to se .mid base, others sa.!,i he did not. It seemed a hopoleas muddle. Then Barney Preyfuss picked up the affidavit of Christy Mathewson. "GentU rr. ;n," he saJd, "you all know Christy Matheweon. I move we disregard ail other .ifi'idavlts and reach our decision mi what he has to say." It was agreed. The other documents went into the waste bnket. They opened Mat h- wsor.'s affidavit. In it, Matty set forth that he had been coaching at first base, that he and Merkle had run to the c'ub-house tog ih"T afttr M'jrkle. had taken only a few rteps toward first bse. So the directors ruled Meikle was out and th game was played over. That's the kind of a man Mathewson lt. It mount th? U ss of several thousand dollars. hi shre in the world's reries cat. ami all that go"'3 '-vith participatlon i:i the claslc, to Matty to tell the truth. But he did not hesitat. All hats off to Matty.
