When the New York National League ball club was playing in Boston, a
local clergyman called at the hotel where the players were stopping
one Sunday to congratulate Mathewson on his stand against playing on
the Sabbath.
The clerk made a few mysterious inquiries and then said: "Sorry, sir,

no good'tall!"--_Life_.
