Who Is Better Studyr

There are about five ball players on
the Detroit team who at times have
been referred to as not being Of cham
pionship caliber. They are smart
enough. just the same to belong to a
team which wins championships. and
there appears to be no disposition on
the part OF Jennings to release them.
Who is the better Judge Of champion
ship caliber.'' a man who forms his
opinions with little or no practical
knowledge Of the real inside OF base
ball or a man who studies men and
their methods for his immediate use on
the ball field?
What lovely base ball we'd have II
some of these grandstand managers
only could have their way on the ball
field! There wouldn't be the same men
on the team two days in succession In
ten weeks.
1t is also on record that there was
once a man who said that Mathewson
was not of championship caliber. The
man IL still alive. and from stubborn
ness would like to stick TO his position,
but conditions are SO far against him
that whenever the name OF Mathewson
Is mentioned he backs out and gets
over to the next corner until the con-
versation has taken another tone.
Another man comes forth and raises
Cain because the New York National
and buy the championship every year
by corralling all the available base ball
talent In the land.
Haven't Philadelphia. Boston. Cincin-
natl, Chicago and a few other cities got
any right in the premises?

CHIEF BENDER SEEKS
BIG LEAGUE RECORD
Pitcher Has a Good Chance to
Surpass Donovan's
Great Feat.

The American League pitching record
may rest In new hands when the season
Of 1910 Is completed.
"Chief" Bender has shown q desire TO
wrest the laurels from ''Bin'' Donovan.
now holder OF the league record mark in
percentage Of victories.
Bender won twenty games and lost
three up to last Thursday. His percent
age OF $40 has seldom been eoualed by
any pitcher at this stage OF the year who
has performed In more than ten games
To equal Donovan's record, made in
19O7. Bender must win five more games
and lose one.
A Big Task.
A herculean task cqnfronts the big
Indian. but at this distance 1t appears
that the record Is at his mercy. He has
seemed to improve as the season ad-
vanced. II that were possible. and is get
ting just as perfect support from his
teammates as at any time in the year.
The Athletics have not shown the slight
est sign of weakening under the strain
of having In prospect q series Of games
with the National League champions for
the worlds championship. and. as every
one knows. the support accorded q pitcher
Is a prime factor in his success.
Going back to ancient history, Dom
ovan's record stands out like a beacon
light on q dark night. Only once before
in the history OF base ball was his record
surpassed. That was by Al Spalding in
1875. when pitching for the Boston club.
He won ffty-sfx games and lost seven
That looks q trife greater than the rec
ords OF today. Imagine the pitchers of
today pitching sixty-three games. In
1908 Ed Walsh OF the American League
pitched sixty-six games, getting q per-
centage OF .727.

Changeable as the Weather.

NEW YORK, September 3.-It takes
not weather to bring out base ball opin-
ion. One sapient citizen solemnly as
serts that Doyle and Merkle are not
championship material How does he
know? Isn't 1t on record that the Giants
probably would have won the champion
ship with little trouble II Doyle had not
been clumsily spiked by Hummel In Sep
TENDER. 1908. when New Yorks young
second baseman was astounding all OF the
National League by his clever work on
the field and his strength with the bat?
Isn't Merkle doing fairly well for the
boy who had had but two years ex-
perience in a major league. and who
jumped straight from a bush-league or
ganization to the Oldest base ball circuit
in the world?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-09-04
One Funny Question.

What makes championship material?
Who Is clever and smart enough to an
swer It? Aren't there ball players who
are not members Of championship or
ganizations who appear to be a great
deal better ball players than some OF
those who are members Of champion
ship organizations7
How Can a man prove whether he is
of championship material until he Is
lucky enough TO belong to a champion
ship organization? II the Giants were to
win the championship this year-and 1t
is within possibility-would Doyle and
Merkle still be classified as not OF cham
pionship material?
Meyers also Is included In the list which
is not Of championship material. Yet
Meyers has done some very good work
fc- the New York club this year, in
spite OF the fact that he has mixed in
the good some that was bad. On the
whole, however, he has shown steady i'm
provement, and there are chances that he
will be q better ball player next year
than he Is this year. 1t will depend
largely on his ability not to grow TOO
rapidly.
In spite of the fact that he has helped
to lose some games because OF weakness
in throwing when he has one OF his of
days, how many games has he helped to
win by his big stick? Go through the
list and you will be surprised to find
what q figure his bat has made In the
successful contests Of the team.

Americans are saic to be in favor of
a Latin-American alliance against
the United States. 1t is generally
conceded, however, that formal &C.
tion of this nature is unlikely.
The most that can be regarded as
probable is that the republics inter-
ested will give the United States to
understand automatically that the
principles represented in the attitude
of this government on the east coast
OF Nicaragua will not be accepted
willingly as part of the internation-
al law of the Americas.
1t is hardly likely that this pro-
test, If made. will become part of
the proceedings of the conference.
1t will probably be left to the unof-
fetal work of the assembly.
Notwithstanding a recent state
ment by the Venezuelan government
on the subject, it is still reported
here that the Venezuelan delegates
will be the leaders in protesting
against the attitude of the United
States and that at least two other
governments will share the RESPONSE
bility of the movement.
Doubt exists in Washington as to
just what steps of the American gov
eminent have been distasteful to the
sister republics. The only concrete
point mentioned in this connection
was first phrased by Madriz, presi-
dent of the government at Managua,
when he protested against the action
of American marines in preventing
an attack by the Madriz forces upon
the city of Bluefields. This was
done on the ground that American
interests are extensive there and
followed the precedent of the British
government in prohibiting fighting
in Greytown on similar grounds.
Later the Venus was prohibited by
the American officials from firing on
Bluefields
