Show II Matty Has Scieme to Save $10,000 for Is Ball (M PHILADELPHIA, March 6 Some of the wise pickers of all-timo teams and players have placed Cy Young ahead of Matty as baseball's best moundsman. That the former grand j old Giant boxman was the smartest twirler in the game, however, is not seriously disputed. That he also is a j smart manager is shown in other re- spects than that he produced a first- J division team for Cincinnati during his j first full season of managing j The latest proof of Matty's mana gerial cunning is the putting over of a little arrangement calculated to pro- vide ideal training quarters free and i to save his club about -$10,000, the en- i tire expense of the training season, j which conserving of the club pure will J come in mighty handy during the press of wartime campaigning. The scheme presents several interesting inter-esting angles. Matty goes to Montgomery, Mont-gomery, Ala., where he will be joint social, and financial guest of the local camp Y. M. C. A. and the home town chamber of commerce. Everything is to be split in true southern hospitality style between hosts, and all Matty will have to do is to bring his boys along and enjoy tho big spread. Tho arrangement is a fifty-fifty affair, af-fair, and besides his expenses being paid Matty will have access for training train-ing to a brand-new and complete outdoor out-door plant and also training quarters for tho indoor kinks and for bad weather. The field has been especially especial-ly constructed by Unple Sam for the athletic benefit and amusement of tho thousand of Sammy boys being schooled at the Alabama capital and is up to date in every detail. |
