Matty accidentally dropped thta Informa tion and when pressed for particulars ad mitted that his career In base ball Is draw ing; to a close. For two years ha and a former college mate, now In tha employ of a big railroad concern, have been working on a manufacturing project, and both' are about ready to atrlke out for themselves, Matty will Invest quite a sum, as ha has laid by and Increased tha aavlngs of years of big salaries. Ha says this Is the right l me to take a chance, and If the enter prise does not pan out as he anticipates he can return to basa ball. The business which will claim Matty's time and money la tha production of creo sote railroad ties, and ha and hla ntt.,f " Kv i Vnrii a, pia.nl in A UVB.

Matty's partner has the ex perlence and tha capital la assured. Both Matty and his partner are practical fores ters, and both expect to give their entire attention to the business. May Kama Owl Salary. The New York Base Ball club will go a long way to avoid tha lose of so valu able an aaset as tha great pitcher, who has drawn tlrousands of dollars to the gate In New York and other cities. Matty In sists that this Is not a matter of aalary, and he will not allow sentiment to atand In the way. He has never kicked up a fuss over salary and ha haa never made a habit of disclosing his hand until he was ready to play It. So, now he la ready to go ahead In hla new venture. "Big Six," la not only a good pitcher, but he haa a long head. Outside of base ball ha la a shrewd fellow with an aptitude for figures, excellent Judgment, and a readi ness to take a chance. In tha years that ,ne has been with the Glanta he has Judic iously Inveated hla money and can write ' hla check for $50,000, If not mora. Fur thermore, he Is one who la confident of hla ability to run thla aum up many times that amount. Basa ball has laid tha foundation for many fortunes, fur example, those of A. O. Spalding and Al Reach, and Matty thinks he's capable of carving out a good living from this world without playing base ball. "I have pitched for the Clients nearly ten years," saU the big fellow, "anil that Is a long time to stay In base ball and still he a winner. I realise that past per formances do not get a ball player any thing, and that when the Inevitable break comes he Is soon cast aside and forgotten. I do not Intend to let those evil days over take me. I might go along next year, and several more years, perhsps, but the eni Is Inevitable. If I stuck to the ftnlsh I might not be able to close with such a good opportunity as this one. I have to look out for myself and I am willing to take a chance. It would be a matter of only a few seasons anyhow, and I may aa well take time by the forelock. "I wouldn't If I didn't think It would pay me better than base ball. Tha money may not be there right away, of course, and It la possible that further delay may be advisable and that I will stick for an other year, but tha thing la bound to pay better than base ball If wa can swing It, and If our present plans develop aa we anticipate, I will not ba with the Giants next season." Body Blew i Gtaata. Matty doea not care to go Into any further partlculara of tha venture, but he la not a fellow given to Idle talk, and so what he says must ba seriously, re garded. If ha qulta It surely will be a body blow to the Giants. McOraw can pick up any quantity of pitchers, but he probably will never get another Mathew- son. It takes years to develop them and they are plucked at tha rata of one In about every ten years. It will be difficult to Imagine a deal at tha polo grounds without "Big Six." He seems aa much of a fixture aa the atands and field, and tha fane have come to regard him as a permanent Institution. For years the pitching staff has been built around him, and sometimes ne was nearly the whole staff. He has been the hlssest factor In keeping tha Giants in tha six National league pennant races. Take out his victories and tha Giants would scarcely have finished In the first itviatnn this rear. He won a world s championship almost unaided. McOraw haa a lot of good youngsters, but It would reaulre more than one season to get over the loss of Matty. Matty has drawn a big salary for sev eral years, and he deserved every penny of It. It Is understood that ha never signs mora than a one-year contract He enters. Into a new agreement each spring and ha never haa been compelled to use holdup tactics, as the club has appre ciated his services In a substantial way. Ha will have to Ignore the reaerve clause, of course, but he will not ba compelled to repudiate any actual contract. In the yeara that he has been with tha club Matty has given faithful service. He haa never asked to leave the team at any time except when necessity compelled it. Hla contract of recent yeara provided that he was not to pitch Sunday games. This he Insisted on, because most exhibition games are played on Sunday, and the club, therefore, cannot call on him for ex hibition gamea except In tha spring. He was 29 years old last August and Is still a young man, as business men go, but old In base ball. Some of his money has been Invested in paying stocks, but he haa scattered his holdings so that financial calamity could not overtake him, and has a lot of cash on deposit In various New York banks and trust companies. our balL It wss a contest at which the white man was no adept and. to be brief, was purely Indian. It required both prow ess and phvilciue The prevailing Idea In this, as well aa In other countries Is that the Indian Is a perfect athlete. Stamina, speed and prow ess are supposed to be the msln com ponents of his makeup. And, generally speaking, this Is true. But there Is one athletic contest at which the aborigine has not proved himself the equal of the white man. Base ball does not claim as many Indian ball tossers aa might be expected. The descendants of the original Inhabitants of the North American continent play the game, but for some unknown reason few of them develop Into big league material. The Giants, however, appear to be intent on cornering what few native sons there are In the game. With the acquisition of Big Chief Jack Meyers last fall Manager McGraw got a sample of tha Indian aa a ball player and he found the result pleas ing. So when Scout Billy Lush Informed the leader of the Polo ground forcea that another Indian waa cutting thlnga up In tha Ohio State league thla season, and that he looked good. McGraw Immediately drafted John Bull Williams from the Mar lon club. Thla mesne that the Glanta will start the season next year with two of tha four full-blooded Indiana now making a busi ness of the national pastime. Williams Is full blood Oneida and lives In a small aettlement Id northwest Wisconsin. Futher- more, he comes to this city with a reputa tion for being an advocate of strict train ing, the simple and outdoor life, which, It will be agreed, Is most Joyous news. John Bull played in 130 games and was the third best batter In tha Ohio State league, hitting for an average of .297. Of the 142 hits ha made alx were home runs, eight three baggera and twenty-two doubles. Nor Is batting his only asset, ac cording to the reports which hava come here from Marlon. He Is a sterling out fielder. He Judges a fly ball quickly and has a wonderful throwing arm. A pecu liar thing about him Is that he believes In sleeping outdoors all summer. Just how ha will arrange In New York Is not known, unless the management permits blm to erect a tepee on tha greensward of the plain uptown. If he makes good the base ball populace of this city will be given much more fre quent. opportunities to emit the ear-racking war whoop which greeted Moyers when aver he stepped to the plate. The other two full-blooded "big chiefs" in big league base ball captivity at this time are Chief Bender, the Philadelphia Athletics' pitcher, and Nig Clarke, the Cleveland catcher.

The cut in the Vanderbilt cup circuit as provided for in the petition of the Motor Cups company to the Nassau county supervisors for the use of highways Involved Is most welcome to followers of the automobile racing game. The fact that the revival of the great road classlo which will be staged on October 30, will be run over a circuit almost half the distance of last year's course gives promise of the big machines streaking by much oftener than was possible on the longer track. After a motor car race contest has been under way for an hour or so cars are bound to drop out Something Is almost certain to happen that will greatly reduce the field. Engines break down under the terrific me cnanlcal strain; a tire "blowout' may cause a disastrous skid, parts of the ma chlnery may give out there are a hundred things conspiring to take machinery out of tha race. On tha long circuits, when the finish hour draws near, It is often ten minutes before a car will appear. Conae quently interest In the race is bound to la. But auch promises not to be the case In the Vanderbilt Tha new courae la 12.64 miles In circumference. This means that the cars will pass tha atanda almost as frequently as was tha case at the Lowell meet during last Labor day week. Of this 12.64 miles of roadway less than half Is Motor Park highway. Tha Long Island roada that will be used measure 7.49 miles, The new oourse will run down the Old Country road to the cut-off leading across to tha Motor Parkway at Meadow Brook lodge. Thence it leads up the Motor Park way past last year's grand atand to the Massapequa lodge. Thence a turn win be made, the course completing the quadri lateral by going back to the Old Country road. The Vanderbilt Cup race, has been set for twenty-two lapa of the circuit. This will rhake tha distance 278 OS miles. The other two events which will be held on October 30 In conjunction with the Vander bilt will very probably be designated as t1?e Wheatley Hills and the Massapequa. The former race will call for fifteen cir cuits of tha raceway. The Massapequa will be contested ten times around the course, or a distance of 126.40 miles. Motorists who have pone over the re vised course state It will be satisfactory In every respect Tha roads chosen outside of the Motor Parkway are said to be very fast Of course, tha Parkway stretches will give no trouble. Last year, although many drivers claimed that they mode faster time on the country roads than over the specially constructed motor boule vard, the Parkway was satisfactory, and the same should be the case this month. Tho American Automobile association sanc tion is expected dally, and upon Us re ctipt the work will be Inaugurated.
