Mathewson, the wonderful Giant pitcher, enters his fifteenth season in major league company. Matty Is still good but Matty Is slipping. Three years at the most seems to be Matty's limit as a regular worker on a big league mound. Matty is only 34 years old now but his arm isn't as good as it used to be. It has lost much of its old time cunning. I.ast season it was rarely that the opposition didn't belt him for from seven to 12 htts per game, and - when the opposition can jdo thai it means that Matty Is going. .Tommy Leach probably is good for two more years in major league so-eltty--but no more.

Somers, Saviour of American League, May Be Passed Up by .Colleagues. By Frank G. Menke. New York, Jan. 16. Do you think that Ben Johnson and his American league colleagues will answer the "S. O. S." calls of Charles Somers, owner of the Naps, and render the aid that he needs? If s one of the big questions of the hour in a baseball way and the odds seems to be about 10 to 1 against John son or anyone else in the league slip ping an oar to Somers who is in flnan clal difficulties. Something like 14 years ago when Johnson was acting as Comiskey's agent in the organization of a new league, he found that very few- men till 1 1 AY 1 1.1. 1 were wining nan incur weaua 111 what looked like a big hazard. One of the few men that he did find was Charles Somers, of Cleveland. Johnson told Somers what he bad to offer, lie told Somers how much money was. needed. And Somers went almost to te limit of his wad in mak ing the American league possible. He took a franchise in Cleveland. He hired high priced talent- He got the best men he could get and he paid huge salaries. Johnson- wanted to place a team la Boston. .He couldn't Interest Boston capitalists. In the crisis, Somers came to the fore. He unstrapped his pocketbook and let Ban dip in as deep as he wanted to. ' "I've got some left," said Somers, after Ban had placed a team in Boston with Somer' money. Its at your disposal. Cill on me when you need money. Don't feel embarrassed. I'll help to, the limit of wealth." Somers Always Thar. Often during the early days of the American league's battle for life, mon ey was needed. And just as often as It was needed, Somers was there with the money. Had the American league gone to the wall It probably would have carried Somers with it. But Som ers was game. He took a chance. And the American league, more because of Somers financial backing than any thing else, won out In Its fight with the National league. And now the tide of fortune has ebbed for Somers. Just a short time ago a committee of bankers was ' ap pointed to take charge of his finan cial affairs. The war and general business degression put his real estate and hi coal business temporarily on the blink. The Naps lost a bale or money last year for Somers. He had other baseball Interests. It was a bad year for baseball ana nearly an his Investments failed to produce prof its. ' The one thine that will pull somers out of the hole quicker than anything else is a winning ball team in Cleve land In 1915. But to have a winning ball team he must have some real nail players. The Naps are any, or mem. Somers scouts nave comoea me pusnes fox good players, but the prospect of any of the Nap recruits developing during 1915 are not bright. It looks very much as If the Napa will repeat their 1914 performance l.ndin in last nlace unless Johnson and the seven other magnates in the American leaeue come to me assist ance of Somers and make It possible for him to buy enough good players to give the Naps a team that will keep them m the 1915 fight, and thus In. sure a prosperous year as far as gate receipts are concernea. ; , RELAY RUNNERS IN ARMY f- afc. i . - A.

As an answer to Slosson, Hoppe has offered to play, the veteran a match of 5000 points, giving Slosson a start of 1000 points for a side bet of $1000.

Atlilete t H at Jim Cossman, hree Years on Field and In Gym Makes Boy Grow! 130 to 230 Pounds i University of Oregon, Kugene, i Or., Jan. 16. When a man makes good on an ideal - he is to be congratulated. When a college freshman, 15 years old, weighing 130 pounds and spread ing those pounds over a puny pair of legs and a narrow chest, on the day of his matriculation makes the ac quaintance of the gymnasium and in three years is center of his college football team, tipping the beam at 192 at the end. of a strenuous season, he may be regarded as a wonder. James Cossmann, alias "Gunpowder, alias "Blacksmith," alias "Slim," alias Iowa, at- 18 a Junior in the Univer sity of Oregon, with a high school rec ord in De Witt, Iowa, of but one grade below 95 during his college preparatory days, has done just this. Jim, or Jlmmle, as Cossmann is Known on the campus, has another distinction at the University of Oregon. He belongs to the students who are working their way through school. Jimmy Cossmann has not confined his attention to football but has turned out the past two years and made some other fellow beat him for weight man on the university track team and has roughed Carl Fenton and the candi dates for Center on the 1915 basket bail team around the center of the floor. Jim didn't make the basket ball team nor the track team, but he made some other fellow work to get there and that is 1 an honor here. In 1913 he made first substitute on thei football team and the past season. when Jack Risely, the regular center, was- quarantined with the mumps a few days before the biggest event on Oregon's ' sport calendar, the annual struggle with O. A. C for the football championship of the state. Coach Bez- dek gave Jim his chance, and, consider ing it was his first game on the var-, sity, Jim delivered. Cossmann weighed 167 pounds at tne beginning of the football season in 1913 and after two and a half months of the hardest kind of work be showed 192. He seemed to thrive on bard work. Jim then took things easy and before spring ; training for track weighed 230. One wouldn't have known the 130 pound, 15-year-old freshman of two years before. Nineteen years and 14 days old, coss mann is the youngest member of the class that entered Oregon in the fall of 1911. Jim grew too fast to keep up his 95" prep record and during one semester staid In his home In Creswell, Or., -where John H. Coss mann. father of Jim. bad set up bis blacksmith shop after he left Iowa and came west. Because of this ab sence from the university Jim will not be graduated until 1916, but even then ne Will gel away wuu an .'a. a. in education two years earlier than the average student.

Sight years or so ago, when Herxog o ww.u wt f IB I A XI 11 IB HUK and a minor-league baseball Job, he tok a plunge into 'the matrimonial sea. Right away, like most grooms, : he proceeded to spend his wad on the honeymoon. When he returned to the -old town with his bride he was broke extremely broke..

Perc made those remarks recently -when asked to explain the great work accomplished by Harvard. But - Perc ' as you will notice, didn't reveal the -secret of how he gets his men to carry oat his orders. The fundamental principle of foot- ball coaching is "Follow the ball.' Kvery coach in the country tries 'to drill It into his men, But few suc ceed. Haughton succeeded where oth ers have failed. - , If Houghton would unbosom himself to the point where he will tell bow he handles his men so that they will follow the ball every minute during the game, he will be conferring a targe favor upon Francis Hlnkney, of Yale, and other coaches. They instructed their men to follow the bait - But It didn't do much good. About the only tnmg the Yale fellows did against Harvard was to follow the Harvard ball toter two jumps in the rear. How did yoa do it. Mister Haue-h. ton? Did you club the boys on the knob and threaten to club 'em some more if they didn't follow the ball? Or did Vrtll thrMfpn tn jf.nvtif. tti.,. - of breakfast? Or did you promise them all a flobert air rifle and 31 for spend ing money? Woodland Gets Good Early Start Woodland, Wash.. Jan. 16.
