LOOK OUT FOIl "MATTY" IX THE
FUTURE.
They figure this Mathewson lad
who Is pitching for tho New 'York
Giants will just about be In his prime
in seven or eight more years. It has
been pretty generally agreed that as
a base ball pitcher Christy Mathew
son is In a class by himself. Speak
ing by and large and altogether he
Is the hurling marvel of the day and
perhaps of the history of the game.
Present day players Insist that Math
ewson never had and never will havo
an equal. The greatest pitching rec
ord ever put over was old Cy Young's
who pitched twenty-two seasons of
major league ball, winning 507
games and losing 321. A percentage
of .012. Mathewson thus far has
worked thirteen seasons in the big
show and has won 388 games, losing
1G0 and has accumulated a percen
age of .072. To equal or distance Cy
Young's record Matty will havo to
work nine more years and win 179
games or more. And he'll do It easily
they tell us. "It's because he takes
the game so easily," says an Ameri
can league star. "He plays for the
pure love of It. No worrying with
him, no sore arms. It's little wonder
that he's so good. Why, in eight or
nine years he'll be just in his prime.
And then look out for him."

"WITHIN THE LAW."
Smokeless powder, noiseless fire
arms and a Maxim silencer, such as
the McNamara dynamiters are al
'eged to have employed against
their enemies, are adopted for the
first time on the stage In "Within
the Law," Bayard Veiller's thrilling
new American p,lay of modern met
ropolitan life, which the American
Play Company is to present at the
Lyric on Monday, August 25. These
Ingenious devices of modern war
fare which makes possible the kill
ing of a person, with practically a
minimum danger of detection are
adroitly introduced by the play
wright to inject an element of baf
fling mystery into the murder that
forms one of tho exciting scenes of
" Within the Law." Although the
audience sees a pistol drawn and tho
character at whom it is aimed drop
seemingly lifeless, thero is not the
slightest report from the discharge
of the bullet nor tho faintest trace of
smoke. In New York and Chicago
where "-Within the Law" Is the cur
rent dramatic hit, the play was
designated " the drama of the minute."
