lorry 111ml.- during his career as a
baseball pitcher t‘ltristy Mathewson
has experienced that awful sinking
sensation (nosed by inc. opposition
whacking the. ball tor a home run.
'l‘ll'lt peculiar crack or the but when
it ill-‘x‘lh the, ball squarely on the nose.
the sound which brings joy unbound-
ed to the one player. and a large
chunk of woe to another. "Matty”
heard it forty times. and about
half of them have been caused by
the two teams tllat have caused him
has
more agony than all other aggrega-
tions ill the National League» Fred
t‘larke's Pirates and the t‘hlcago
Cubs—“Husk" t‘hance's Pubs.
01' this number of bottle runs the
l'ittsburghs lead with ii. thcn 1h..-
tubs with 10. which total about half
oi the homers lllade oil‘ the delivery
1 "Illg Six." While the Pirates lead
ill number. the Cubs have caused the
greatest amount of damage by their
long smashes. no less than six of them
being direct means of winning gallies.
Mathewson has been fortunate ill the
midst of this misfortune. or rather
lucky ill the matter of these homers
not creating any serious damage. in
30 01' the games in which these long
hits were made he won, and the only
good they brought to the opposition
was a momentary period of bliss to
theanakor.
Tllis season something happened to
“Matty," something he never expor-
ienced before. 'l‘vvo homers in a single
game was what happened to "Big
Bil." 'l‘hc hitherto lowly St. Louis
Cardinals have magic more home runs
this- season oil ”hiat‘ty's". delivery
than they have ill the 13 years they
have had the pleasure of facing him.
Up to 1914 the Cards managed to
make three home runs; this season
they are making baseball history by
making homers oft the pitcher who
was their absolute master for litany
years. The Cardinals have made three
home runs so far this season, and as
mentioned. two in one game. A
coulle. of villians named Wilson and
,Wingo are guilty of this onslaught
on the pet curve of Mr. Mathewson.
and Mr. Wingo has committed the
depredution twice in the space of ten
days.
Ten years ago. the Brooklyn team.
or rather a certain Mr. Batch of the
Brooklyn club. made a home run oil
the choice delivery of C. Mathewson.
and it was the first and last until this
season, when on April 18 of this year
-Zach Wheat. by a resounding whack
of his mighty bat. cleared the buses.
Then Jake Daubert added another
on May 4. thus making a total oi
three homers the. Brooklyn aggrogle
Ion has acquired in2 .500 tries. Cin-
cinnati stands third. with seven home
runs they registered against the peer-
less one; five of these were merely
spectacular features. and just two
served 'to will games. Philadelphia
cud Boston have each made two home
runs when facing the great Matllew- _
con: and Christy won seven of them,
' at that.

FUTlIllE UNDERTMII
The big salaries that prevail in
baseball at present mean one of two
things. Either the Federal League
‘wlll go under or some sort oi an
amalgamation wlll be cll‘ecled with
organized baseball Clubs cannot live
and pay such exorbitant sums tor
piayers‘ services.
Perhaps the Federal League will con-
tinue its light through next year. and
if it does the blg'salaries will continue
to prevail, but once. the Feds drop out
of tile running. alld conditions now
setm to indicate they will be forced
to, organized baseball will swing the
big use on its payrolls freely.
The players are in their llcydey
now. bill when the war is o\er they
will be no better off than they were
before it began. The profits of Amer-
ican and National League clubs have
been chopped to nothing in the nin-
jolity of cases. it seems as If the
New York Giants, the Athletics, lhu
\‘l'hite Sox and the Senators will be
the only clubs to show respectable
profits at the end of 1914. For the
most part the othcls stand to lose big
sums.
if any one of the Federal League
clubs shows profits it will be the (fin-
cago club. The others probably will
find themselves deep ill the hole.
Furthermore. if the. Feds continue to
war on organized baseball they will
be forced to spend almost as much
money during the next off season as
they have been compelled to lay out
tints far. When these two sums are
added the total investment probably
will be so great there will be no
chance of any sort of profits being
made for a number of years to come.

GHIE Mill HELSII BATTLE
With the Ritchie-Welsh match tor
the world‘s lightweight championship
less than a week away, this event will
help to dispel the unsavory altermatn
.11' the big heavyweight affair.
the little men there is no question
as to the honesty of their intentions.
it is not necessary in this case
poillt out that the champion is not
likgly to lake. for this or that reason.
it is taken for granted that the bout
will be strictly on tile level.
From all accounts a tremendous
crowd will be on hand to see the bat-
tle, although in point of interest it
must give way to the Smith-Carpen-l
tier match. At present England is
even more concerned about having
the Frenchman. t‘arpentier, defeated
than over the prospects of annexing
the lightweight title.
Since he arrived in England Ritchie
has created a very favorable impres».
stun by his modest bearing and the
earnest way he goes about his pro-
parations for the match. Ritchie's
tirst move was to issue an open in-
vitation to all and sundry to come
and spar with him at his training
quarters.
A number of lightweights and wel-
terweights accepted and Ritchie has
not
hers. Ritchie's willingness to display
his form in this fashion has created
something of a sensation and has
done much to remove the impression
that he lacks championship calibre,
which resulted when the reports of
his defeat by Charley White reached
England.
Ritchie's straight standing. clean-
cut style of milling has made a hit"
with the English critics. although at
first there was a. tendency to criticise
Ills skill on the defense. ’But after
he had had time to loosen the kinks illE
his muscles and got his right cross
working properly it was generally
admitl‘cd that he far surpasses the
English champion when it comes to
hard hitting.
‘Since1Welsh returned to England
he has kept busy giving out inter.
views telling or his troubles in ob-l
tulning the match and how he ex-
pects to win. While doing full Jus-
tice to his own prowess. Welsh’s rc~
marks sound remarkable enough, how-
ever.
Welsh says he has always made a
point of seeing Ritchie‘s lights.» that
he could also him up properly.
thinks Ritchie's best performance was
his battle With Much'Cross in Madl-
son Square Garden.
"Ritchie rather .surprised me in
that contest." says Welsh. “He show-
ed both good headwork and hard
hitting. and i must admit he has im-
proved since I beat him in Los Ange-
les That was the best light Ritchie
ever put up. however. Since then he
has not done nearly so well. I saw
him fight Murphy and I thought he
had fallen off in his work. He would
