BENDER'S GREAT PITCHING
AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDING.

1 Philadelphia. September 1s-(Special.)- l The Athletics shut out Detroit ? to in the third game of the pennant-deciding series in the American league before the greatest crowd that ever watched a base ball contest. It was estimated that more than 5000 fans were crowded into shibe park. Fully 15.o0O were unable to gain ad mission. Standing room on the tops of adjacent houses brought phenomenal prices.
 It was a game worthy of many incon- veniences. Too much congested for un- hampered outfield play, the contest was nevertheless clean cut and decisive. Ben- der, the stoic Indian. who had been one of Connie Mack's faithful boxmen for sew eral years, took the issue with "Wlld' Bill Donovan.
 Bender, always hoodoo to the Cham pions, proved this afternoon not an ex- eeption. although pitted against the man who usually proves a Quaker Jonah. It was a great pitching bout between the pair with the Indian getting the better of the argument
 Detroit played desperately against the taunting skill of the big Indian. For three innings the team battled without issue behind phenomenal fielding. Then the Athletics forged ahead in a one-run lead after Detroit failed to score in its half
 But for Collins the game might even have broken the record of that famous Thinning game of September 30, 1907, in which Donovan stood off Dygert, Waddell and Plank to g to g tie. and the mem- ory of which was wiped out only this afternoon. Collins was the only one of the Athletics who could solve Donovan's de- livery with consistency. Of the five hits secured by the locals the little infielder secured three.
 Bender pitched one of the greatest games of his career He let Detroit down with three scattered hits. secured by Cobb, T. Jones and Schmidt Livingston gave the Indian excellent support behind the bat.
 Today's victory cuts down Detroits lead for the pennant to three full games. The final game of the series will be played Monday Philadelphia must take this game to have a look-in for the flag.
 Collins scored the first run in the fourth inning, leading off with two-bagger. Baker sacrificed. Wher Davis nit grounder to Donovan, Co ins was caught off third. He starteI 70 go back to the ba1 and Donovan wild Collins scoring and Davis 5 second The next two batsmen asy chances.

P2NNANT IS WON

Augusta, September 1s.-The final game of the post-season series was won by Chattanooga 2 to l. Demaree, the pitch CT borrowed from Savannah, was very ef- fective, but Griffin was also effective. Had 1t not been for errors by McMahon and Castro the score would have stood to in favor of Augusta. The wonder ful fielding of Viola was a feature. Au- gusras only run was due to Violas slashing single to left that scored Bier kotte. Augusta played the game under protest as she contends that the use of Demaree, a pitcher secured after the sea- son closed by Chattanooga, is not legal. Augusta has used her regular players only All the games won by Chattanooga in the post-season series were secured with borrowed pitchers in the box. Helm, late of Columbus, and Demaree of Sa- vannah were both effective against Au- gusta. In the post-season series Augusta won two and lost four.

SEASON WAS BAD.
 SAYS KAVANAUGH

Little Rock, Ark, September 13.- Especial. )-Signalizing the close of the Southern league season, President Kavanaugh tonight auth orized the fol- lowing statement: "The season Just closed was not as successful as that of last year. either from sportsman's or financial point of view. The fact that the result of the race was practi- caly decided two weeks ago detracted from the interest and as there were no exciting fights for position, the public naturally did not take the in- terest that they did last year. How ever, the 1909 season has been above the average both as to the quality of the sport and the financial returns"
 President Kavanaugh also stated that the annual league meeting would be held November 4 at Memphis, on the day preceding the meeting of the National Association of Minor leagues. Each will meet for the first time ih the south.

An Important Road Case.

John Roe, of Kansas City, who
owns a farm near Blackburn has
brought an injunction suit through
his attorneys, Duggins G. Duggins
against the road oversear OF the
district to stop him from cutting
his hedge. According 20 a road
law, hedges over years old must
be kept trimmed along public roads
between a height of four and five
feet and trimmed at least once
every two years. The law also pro
vides that the road overseer is to
serve 80 days notice on persons
not complying with these require
ments and at the end of that time
il not trimmed to have it done at
the owners cost. These notices
were recently sent at the request
of the county court to many hedge
owners.
Mr.. Roe wants to have this law
declared unconstitutional and has
brought the suit as test case. 1t
is attracting considerable attention
and will come up in the next term
of the circuit court in May.

He Talked Prohibition

There is one North End saloon
man who has had food for thought
| since he made a trip to Jefferson
City few days ago to learn the
exact status of the prohibition ques
ton. The action of a representa-
tive from a rural county has caus-
ed him much loss OF sleep. Here
is his story:
"When l went down. said the
saloon man, II took along a couple
of quarts of whiskey and box of
cigars. When landed l E:ade my
headquarters at the rooms OF one
of our representatives,. The morn
ing alter my arrival tall sunburn
ed man wearing a hickory shirt
and big slouch hat called a. the
rooms. After the usual salutat.on
he asked:
"'Got anything to drink?'
eyes, he was told, there are
three bottles OF beer on ice and we
also have soma line Old whiskey.'
"'Good came from the rural mem
ber: L never drink beer
"When the whiskey was brought
out he marveled because he had
never heard of the br-ni be. ore. He
seemed to know all other brands.
Well, he took a drink and it was
no common sized saloon drink,
either. 1t was drunk from a COB
let. He and my friend, who were
on the same committee in the house
branched out on the prohibition
question, but the newcomer wave
him off with gesture as much a-
to say, 'Oh, l am with YOU Then
they discussed some other bill.
"While the rural member was
there he partook of three drinks of
that whiskey. / shouldn't call them
drinks. They were slugs-he prac-
tically bathed in it. When he left
he was properly soused. He in
vited me to visit the house in the
morning, saying he was going to
make a speech-but he didn't say
what on. l was there in due time,
and what was my utter surprise
and disgust to hear that longhair-
cd fellow, full of steam from three
drinks OF my whiskey, get up and
make the hottest prohibition speech
ever heard in my life. Frances
Murphy or Sam Jones couldn't
have done better. Can you beat
itP 1 took the next train home."-
