A LESSON FROM BASEBALL Always Sv Something For the "Tim When the Pinch Comet. In his book. "Pitching lu n Pinch," Christy Mathewsun has sotno good nd- vice to offer to hoys who would like to bo successful pitchers, and it Is not hard to'rcnd In his words a lesson of llfo as well. "Somo pitchers," snys the veteran, "will pat nil they hnvo on unci) ball. Tlidt Is foolish for two renRons. In tho first plnce, It exhausts tho man physically, nnd when the, pinch comes ho hnsn't tho strength to Inst It out" Tho pinch, It may he here Interpolat ed, Is whnt pitchers cull the Inning thnt comes In most lull games, on which hangs victory or devnt And when tho pinch comos It Is n ensu of tho batter's nerve hgnlnst the pitcher's. "Hut. second nnd more Important, It shows tho Imtters everything that ho has, which Is senseless. A man should always bold something In reserve, n surprise! to spring when things get tight If n man tins displayed I1I1 whole assortment to the hatters In tho early part of tin; gamu nnd has used nil his speed nnd his fastest breaking curve, when the crisis comes ho hns nothing to fall back on. "Mko all youngsters," continues Mr. Mnthewson rcmlnlscontly, "1 wns ea ger to mnku a record during my first year In tho big league, and In one of the first games I pitched ngalnst Cin cinnati 1 tnndu the mistake of pulling nil that I had on every ball. "We were playing at tho Polo grounds nnd the Giants had the visitors beaten, 2 to 0, going Into the Inst Inning. I had been burning them over, trying to ntrlkc out every batter nnd hadn't held nnythlng In reserve. The first man to the bat In the ninth gut n single, tho next n two bagger, nnd by tho time they had stopped hitting mo wo bad lost the game 4 to Z "1 wns very much down In tho mouth over the defent nftor I had tho gntne practically won, nnd Ocorgo Da vis, then malinger of tho (limits, no ticed It "'Never tuliid, Malty.' he said; 'It wns worth It. The gnuiu ought to tench yon not to pilch your head off when you don't need to.' "It dlil." concludes Mr. Mnthewson. "I have never forgotten that lesson." JAMMED ON AN ICEBERG.
