There are accounts of Mathewson, in the final game of the 1912 World Series, calling for Chief to take the foul ball Speaker hit down the first-base side. Matty could've easily taken it, or Fred Merkle. But Matty called for Chief, who was notoriously slow afoot. The ball dropped, Speaker supposedly called out to Matty, "You just called for the wrong man. Now it's going to cost you this ball game..." Speaker spoke, and the Sox went on to win Game 8 of the 1912 Series.

I always thought it was appropriate Chief's middle name was pronounced "tortoise."
