"Matty: An American Hero" by Ray Robinson was pretty good, though I read it a long time ago.
Though not an autobiography, Mathewson's own book "Pitching in a Pinch, or Baseball from the Inside" includes many anecdotes from his playing days.
"The Old Ball Game: How John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, and the New York Giants Created Modern Baseball" by Frank Deford is also a good Mathewson read, though not strictly a biography.
