Mathewson played fullback and punter for the Pittsburg team, so he would not have been in a team photo with Connie Mack.

Here are the 1902 (football) Athletics, with Mack but no Mathewson:

My recollection was Mack was in the photo, I also do not remember letters on the uniform, i thought they were blank, but looked to be black or vey dark.

I don't know of any pictures of Big Six as a pro footballer but would love to see one if such exists. Here's a scan from the 1902 Bucknell yearbook of the 1900 varsity squad, Matty at back near center.

I bought a copy off eBay a few years ago. The book sat at a dollar or two until the last ten seconds when me and two other guys who were in the know put in fat snipes. It's a real treat to peruse its pages, a walk in the past. Matty was a Forestry major. Who knew?
This postcard from around 1905 is of Loomis Field where games were played until Christy Mathewson Field was built in the twenties on the other side of the campus. I visited Bucknell and Matty's gravesite after the last Baltimore National. As beautiful of a college campus as I've ever seen.
