DIES NEW YORK
OF PNEUMONIA
(Continued from Page Three)
season of 1918 and served with dis- i
tinction overseas. He returned to be
come a coach with the Giants, holding
that post until 1920, when he became
seriously ill from the effects of being
“gassed” during the war and faced a
battle for his life with tuberculosis.
Displaying the courage which won
him many diamond victories, Matty
fought and won the battle for his
health during nearly three years of
treatment at Saranac Lake, N. V. Pro
nounced practically cured, he return
ed to New York in the fall of 1922 to
witness the world’s series triumph of
his old team-mates, the Giants, over
the New York Yankees.
Takes Over Boston Braves.
Restored to health Mathewson was j
eager to get back into the game and
when early in 1923, an old friend and
admirer, Emil E. Fuchs, prominent
New York attorney, engineered a deal
by which a Newr York syndicate ob
tained control of the Boston Braves
from George W. Grant, “Bix Six” was
persuaded to take the club presidency.
Mathewson thus took his place
among the few playing stars who rose
to executive power in the game, a list
which included Charles Comiskey, of
the Chicago White Sox; Clark Grif
fith, of Washington; Branch Rickey, of
the St. Louis Cardinals; John Mc
Graw, of the New York Giants; Jim
my McAleer, A. G. Spaulding and Jno.
M. Ward.
Brilliant Moundsman.
Mathewson, baseball experts agreed, ■
possessed all the attributes of a bril
liant moundsman as well as th'ose of
a great athlete—natural skill, keen
knowledge of the sport, generalship
and coolness under fire. One of the
most popular figures in the history of
the game, among players and fans
alike, “Bix Six” also was a hero and
idol to the many of youthful followers
of the national pastime.
“Matty was without a peer, either
before or since the days he wms at
the height of his greatness,” decided
McGraw at one time in paying tri
bute to the pitcher.
“He had a greater variety of stuff
than any pitcher I ever knew or han
dled,” he continued. “His fast ball
was the equal of Walter Johnson’s or
Amos Rusie’s; his curve rivalled Nap
Rucker’s; he had the ‘fadeaway’ down
to perfection; and he utilized his
knowiedge of batsmen with greater
effect than any twirler in the game.
He possessed wonderful control, re
markable fielding ability and was one
of the finest sportsman the game has
ever known.”
