NO WAY OF CHOOSING
 A GOOD BALL PLAYER.
Baseball Managers Often Obliged to Retain Good AthIetes-Big Chief Bender's Case

Many a good thing goes to the other fellow just by chance. Many q base ball manager retains a good athlete just because somebody won't take the athlete off his hands
 Detroit might have had Big Chief Bender once, but at that time d doc tor said he had Bright's disease and wasn't going to live. Frank Navin knew this and passed up the Indian. Bender, who this year pitched the best game of the worlds series. ir the town hero in Philadelphia. and Detroit couldn't land him with a ten-foot pole.
 few years back Bender pitched great ball for Mack. Then he grew sick and hung around Detroit for sev- eral weeks. One wise specialist said he had Bright's disease and that he never would be worth anything again.
 About the time the specialist ren- dered his erroneous decision the Attn letics came to Tigerville. c. Mack sought Magnate Frank Navn.
 Say, Frank" Connie opened up q need an outtelder. You have both Davy Jones and Mcintyre. Now might be able to do a little business with you.'
 Not much you will" replied Navin Anybody that isn't good enough for your club isn't going to benefit the Tigers" the big boss continued. it be- ing one of his pet ideas that any time C. Mack lets go it is wise to sidestep
 
 "Tell you what I'll do," said Mack. I'll trade Bender for Mcintyre or Jones'"
 You will not" said Navin. who had heard the Nerdlct of the eminent spe- ctalist.
 Thereupon all negotiations were off. Bender remained with the Mackmen and Mcintyre stuck with the Tigers. Now Bender is one Of the pitching stars of the American league, while Mcintyre played second fiddle to Jones almost all season. Like wise. c. Mack {. has received much credit in certain quarters for his farsight in seeing that the Indian would come back. when as q matter of fact he tried to shake the redskin, but nobody would have him.
 Bender, before his sickness used to pitch mighty good ball until about the middle of August; then he fiattened out and showed little or nothing. Since he was ill and recovered he seems to possess greater strength and this year ended the season even better than he started.
 His case is but one of dozens of sim 1 liar instances in baseball. There seems to be absolutely no way of judging a ball player. of picking the live ones from the dead ones. Somehow or other the professional athlete is swayed by some circumstance and the man picked 1 as a dub often develops into something wonderful through no apparent cause. Jack CoOmbs was another of this Izind He secuted during one season because his arm was bad and Mack was willing to listen to trades. but who wanted 2 pitcher with d broken arm? Yet COombs came back and is today rated an iron man. Verify, the national pastime is filled with many , queer angles

OUR FOOTBALL DEFICIENT,
 SAYS AUSTRALIAN,
AIexander Knox Suggests Represent alive Congress of All Football Leagues.

Alexander Knox of Sydney, Austraffa, formerly president of the New South Wales Rugby Football league, w7s si spectator at the Army-Navy football game. In d recent interview MT. Knox said:
 q had the opportunity of seeing a
 first class game of American football. I was greatly impressed with the tre- mendous enthusiasm and magnetic in
 duence of such an enormous crowd;
 also with the rival calls, songs and hurrahs of the partisans, and the nose especially with the quiet and unobtru- siVe demeanor of the Navy goat. lie walked up and down the field with an air of dignity and seemed to think his presence was intended to be more oc- cult than that of the ordinary barracK- CT with his noisy trumpet.
 AS far as the play goes I have seen nothing to change my views already
 published. No doubt it Is in one sense strenuous that is. aS far as sheer physical force goes. But as a game
 where individuality, orig ginality and the
 faculty to grasp an opportunity and
 take it is considered, to my mind it is
 on account of code, very deficient.
 Several attempts were made at goal from place kicks. The place kicking was very poor. We have players III Australia that can send the leather over the bar five out of six times from midfield. I have seen Mersenger (one of the greatest place kickers in the world) frequently kick a goal at the extreme right wing from midf1eld. There were several brilliant dashes that brought the vast audience en masse to it's feet. This proves my con tention. Make the game open. give the ! players 9 chance to display their fac ulty of grasping the opportunity at the right time, and the audience will be 1 better pleased.
 ,, Football is the great winter game l in nearly all countries speaking the l English language. The German em peror has quite recently advised his subjects to take up the game. France ] has adopted the Rugby rule. It is a 1 pity we could not form a. football fed ] eration, with international contests. What a spectacle it would be to see l teams from England, Scotland, Ire | land, South Africa, Australia, Canada, i America and Germany competing for
 the championship of the world. This l utilization of genuine sporting interests ! would do more to promote good feeling i and peace in the world than all politi- 1 cal conventions.
 NOW is the time to move before i Germany adopts rules. Let us have q representative congress (say in Aneri- 1 cal of all football leagues The diff ] culty, if any. of agreeing to @ universal code could be settled by @ committee appointed to draw up a set of rules. l T hope you will give this suggestion publicity among the sporting frater- nity.'
