NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—~'l‘herc is no
man in baseball nor has there been in
ten years, who is making the money
that Christy Mathewson has made on
practicaily no investment. For a long
tune Matty was the highest salaried
'man in the game. Last year he got
35.2130 for 52 baseball stories and an
occasional magazine contribution. He
has an insurance business which dove-
tails with the diamond game. He has
good investments by reason of the en.
tree he gained through his baseball
connections. He’s said to be worth
$150,000 although always a conserva-
tAAe manipulator. But:
Matty has been for ten years one
of the great pitchers in the game..
He is now the best golf player in
baseball.
GuinohwallAAce can make things

.Nobodr- in baseball can make
Win85 interesting for Matty in chess
‘or checkers. He has toured the Y.
