By International News .Service. BOSTON, Oct. 111. .fust as lie him-self him-self in other days saw with eyes jH then very young, the fading of many an old-tinm baseball hero before the splendor of his own prowess, so Christy Mathowson Mathewson, tho mighty stood by this afternoon and saw tho light of his greatness flicker and grow dim before the lusty glare of a new star of the diamond. Hugh Bedient, a 23-year-old boy from tho sleep'y little town of Falco-nor, Falco-nor, N. Y., roso today iu two fleeting hours to the brief fame of tho sport-ing sport-ing Held when he pitched thu Boston Red Sox to a. 2 to 1 victory over the veteran of the Polo c rounds. It was with a dubious eye tha"t big Jake Stahl, the Red .Sox chieftain, weighed his pitching strength this aft-eruoou aft-eruoou as the loose figure of Mathowson shambled through the fog over tbo Giant beneh and the great right arm which had held the Boston band' to a bitter draw, rose and fell with rhyth-mic rhyth-mic swing while the veteran warmed up for the fight. And it was with an anxious heart thut the leader of the Red Sox finallj- beckoned the Falconer Stahl 's Judgment Tested. The doubt expressed by tho baseball fans as to whether Mathewson could come back In such a short lime after the terrific strain of the Wednesday tie, did not find placo In Jako Stahl's mind, who knew the Mathewson habit of rising to an emergency. He knew that whatever the issue, Mathewson would give him desperate tight, for that la iho Mathew- son way. Stahl could not use his spent star, Joo Wood, and the Giants had fiercely attacked his left bander, Ray Col-Una, Col-Una, and the veteran Charley Hall. So when the time for chooalng camu, Stahl picked the boy who was running the streets of a country town barefooted jH whon "Big Six" was In the heyday of his glory, and this boy Is tonight a hero among his kind. Mathewson Still Effective. And yet a word for Matheifson- A I- ways great In the hour of victory, he w.-u) oven greater today in his hour of defeat. Backed by a brittle defense and given a weakling attack to support hlfl efforts, ho pitched a game that must stand among his very best.

The battle opened in a dense fog which-1 which-1 hal hung across the eastern shore of Massachusetts all morning. There was never any sreat doubL a.bout the gam being played, however, unless It rained. The diamond at Fenway field had been kept covered and while It was dark with moisture when the coverings wore removed re-moved It ,wns In good couditlon. More than 34.000 people saw the game, the overflow In center field being bo great that it broke down a three-foot barrier and was leaking out on the field when mounted policemen were Kumraondod to ride the liner. The same two "bands that nave been in the stands here every day Tor the series were present, but tho musical organization or-ganization which has been heading tho Royal Rooters put the soft podal on "Tes'slo" todav and played more modern airs.
