Info Need on Christy Mathewson Day 1925
Does anyone have any information on a Christy Mathewson Day in 1925? I picked up a baseball with an inscription on it referencing that game.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Matt

Matt. I haven't anything solid, but Google Books offers this tantalizing
fragment from a book: "... Lieb's quandary about whether or not to buy rainout insurance for "Christy Mathewson Day" (a benefit for the needy pitcher) at the Polo Grounds; ..." This half-sentence is from Diamond classics: essays on 100 of the best baseball books ever published - Page 53 by Mike Shannon - Reference - 1989 - 455 pages If anybody has a complete Fred Lieb library, maybe there's something there

The Matty testimonial game referred to by Lieb was in 1921. "A Gamble for Rain--for Matty" is Chapter 12, pp 139-43, in Lieb's 1977 book "Baseball as I have known it"
I don't have any information on a 1925 game. Max

On May 14, 1925 the Giants played the Reds on "Old Timers Day"...I wonder if they were honoring Matty that day?
