' BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON,
The Gtants' Star Pitcher.
NEW YORK, May 12. (Special.)
Ballplayers figure the standing of the
clubs differently from the method genr
erally employed by the average fan.
A big leaguer considers only the column
containing the games lost. He disre
gards the column announcing the games
won, his point of view being based on
the logical argument that one team
may have won more games than a rival
because it has been favored with better
weather conditions and therefore has
been able to play closer to its schedule.
We refuse to concede a contest as lost
until it has been played, for 'a team
always has a chance to win it until it
Is in the records.
Figuring on this basis, the Pirates are
not so far ahead of the Giants as one
would think at first glance. Pitts
burg has played more contests than
the New York team, since better weath
er has been encountered by the West
erners. The club has also won several
more victories, but those games remain
to be played by the New York team
and we still have a chance to win them.

Last Season Cited. ,
To look at past history for a mo
ment, let me point out that the Phila
delphia club came over to the Polo
grounds for a series last year with a
lead of seven games on the losing side,
which was a big margin, since we did
not have a chance of getting any of
those back. On the winning side, the
Philadelphia lead was much larger. The
series took place in the last part of
May and the Giants won a majority of
the games. By the Fourth of July we
had caught the Quakers.
Now, take the case of Pittsburg this
year. If we can win the series from
the Pirates this week, we will be right
up there with .them and have an easy
schedule ahead throughout the rest of
our Western trip, while the Pirates are
playing the tougher Eastern teams,
But don't think that I am going on rec
ord as saying 'that we will win this
Pittsburg season, because all the mem
bers of the Giants realize what a hard
bunch we are up against in the Pirates
this year. McGraw has been prodding
toe team to prepare for this very series.
since he considers it to be one of the
critical ones of the season. Every clut
that is a pennant contender, if the race
is at all close, strikes four or five
series each year on the outcome of
which may hang its chances of staying
In the going. If the Pirates should
grab threo or four of these games from
vs. there would be a long road ahead
to overtake them, since they
then have a comfortable lead.
Pirate Stronger Than Quakers.
Neither do we reckon Pittsburg' to
be in the same class with the Phila
delphia club of last season. The Pirates
are very much stronger. The Phillies
had only two pitchers who were show
ing any winning stuff in the box last
Summer, and Dooin accumulate his
lead on the w-ork of these two men,
who were pitched hard in the early
months of the season before the twirl-
ers on the other clubs had got into
their strides. We all knew that they
could not stand the pace and would be
forced to break sooner or later. We
knew further that when this break
-ame, the Phillies would fall baok.
i nererore. the club did not cause us
any very serious worry, since no mem
ber of the Giants figured on the Quak
ers to win the championship at any
time.
But with the Pittsburg club this year
It is different. From the opening of
the season, when I saw Clarke's club
getting away in such good style, I fig
tired Pittsburg as the team that would
make trouble for the Giants, provided
eur club was up in the fight for the
pennant again.
Pittsburg Team Surprises.
Pittsburg was away in better shape
than any of us expected, since the
team is generally a late starter be
cause of the number of veterans in the
batting order who are slow in getting
the Winter kinks out of their muscles
and in rounding into condition. The
Jump with which the Pirates got away
Indicates that Konetchy and Mowrey
have materially strengthened the team
both on the defense and in hitting.
The Pirates are strong where the
Phillies were weak last year, in the
box. -I consider the Plttsbursr Ditch
ing staff one of the best in the league
right now, even better than that of the
Giants at this writing, since the Pi
rates' pitchers appear to be in finer
condition. The loss of Kendrix has
not been felt because of the splendid
work done Dy Adams, McQuillan, Har
mon and the rest of the staff. It is
ine- mrensm or mat pitcning corps
wnicn is causing worry among the
Giants. McGraw insisted that all hands
show up lor morning practice and Dul
on uniforms for two weeks before we
lert the Polo grounds for the triD on
the road. His usual custom is to insist
on everybody reporting by 10 o'clock to
Toe sure that his players have not been
tip all night and are not sleeping half
the day, but he does not insist on toe
regulars getting into their "spangles"
as a rule.

Former Coast League Star, In Bat'
ting Slump, Released ly Boise.
BAKER, Or.. May 12. (Special.)
Phil Nadeau, Portland Coast League
star in days not yet forgotten, was
signed today by King's Kubs. He was
released by Boise yesterday. He has
run into a batting slump and so drew
release from the Union Association.
Al Dean, last year with Baker and this
year with Boise, also in the Union, also
was secured today as a third baseman.
McKeen, first baseman, who has bat
ted .300 for Baker this year, was re
leased today to make room for the new
material. These changes place four
new men on the Baker club in two days.
Some of the fans are doubting the wis
dom of the policy of "shuffling the
cards" at this stage.
ARRY WOLVERTON Is rated as
good judge of baseball flesh, but
New York Is raving because Harry
shooed them off George Cutshaw, for
merly of the Oakland club. Yank scouts
recommended him for the draft, but
when Wolverton assumed charge he
said nay. Cutshaw had played under
him for two years and was not of major
caliber.
Now Cutshaw is one of the mainstays
of the Brooklyn Superbas.

Frank Chance Is another manager
who is supposed to have an average of
410 as a clever Inside swapper, yet he
has given away such stars as Ingerton,
Pfeffer. Lobert, Luderas and Moran to
ether cities for the proverbial song.
