About ln Tinker boosters had planned a trip to Cincinnati for the opening game, but this was called off when the railroad company notified Frank Houseman, who had. the party in charge, that a special train could not be furnished!

And It significant of the perennial spirit nf the game that from the moment the first ball is pitched every look and every thought of the "fans" is forward.

But to the American in whose veins the wine of April is bubbling there ia nothing which has the perennial fascination which bas ball holds for its votaries.

Tlie "big" leagues are only the pinnacle of a structure that reaches down through a host of minor organizations to the nationwide foundation which manifests Itself in games In every hamlet and village Kast or West, North or South.

Manly sports are both the cause and the evidence of a nation's virility. Baseball. In the hot pertd, is the safety valve of American civilization. It levels social and business barriers; it is the country's summer tonic. Because It is honest and fair and square, and the gamblers in it have been discouraged.

It holds Its place In -the affections of the people. What do howling fans care about Montenegro or wool if three are "on" and Baker's at the bat? Here's a Peach From Chicago, tern, ago Tribune.)

Christy Mathewson Wonderful If Hugh Chalmers were to offer a motor car to the National League pitcher having the best control Christy Mathewson, of the Giants, undoubtedly would be the Individual who would receive the machine. What wonderful command "Big Six" ha is shown by the records. Mslty now Is entering on his fourteenth campaign in the parent organisation, and in four aeasona WOO.

1011 and 1012 hla average ol passes has been leas than one to the game. The year he exhibited the most perfect control was HXJft, when, almost unaided, he nearly pitched the New Yorkers to a pennant, and would have done so but for a certain incident which is now historical. During that pennant pursuit Mctiraw's "master mechanic" labored In 50 engagements and countersigned only 42 compliments ries. sn average of 0.73 to the combat Matty was almost as accurate last year when he handed out 34 free tickets to first in 43 skirmishes. In 1011 he averaged U.4 gratuities to the game and in O.U7.

Matty was wildest when he made bis start in luufl. He took part in portions of six games that season, ridding hla system of 2a -passefc. The National League batters have been abVs to work Matty for only 775 compll-mentarles In the championship games he has twirled, which means that he has Issued-only one and one half free tickets for every contest in which be has taken part. "Big Sis" also has been stingy In the matter of transportation in i contests for baseball's blue ribbon.
