Chief Bender Insisted on
Working in Decisive Game

Philadelphia, Pa, oct. 29-Hidden be
meath the story of the final game of
the worlds series is a tale that should
he bruited to the world. the tale of per-
sonal confidence that made the Athletic
success and crowned the gallant Bender
with the ivy Of victory. It was the ori-
ginaI intention of Connie Mack to have
Plank pitch the contest that proved to
he the final chapter in the worlds ser
les volume.
However, managerial craft led the slim
strategist to send Bender, Plank. and
Irause to go through the necessary pre-
liminaries. Still confident that Plank
would be his ultimate choice. the man
ager of the Mackmen watched his
twirlers.
The hour of activity was drawing nigh.
and the big chief, his face stern and
set, walked over to his manager and
said:
I have it; I'm going to pitch and
win the worlds series for you The
chieftain IS always dominant when his
personal choice is taken into COnsidera-
lion. The willy Connie smiled, and said:
"AlI right, Albert, you'll pitch and
you'll deliver"
Straight to the mound walked the
great scion of the Chippewas, and in
less than two hours after he strode
to the little patch of earth known as
the pitchers box, a whole nation was
singing his praises. and crazed city
was hurting its vocal JOY TO the four
winds of heaven.
The chief wanted his revenge as we'll
as his manager. After the game he
dressed hurriedly and started for his
home. The Indian was forced to accept
an ovation as he threaded his way
through the hundreds that stormed Shibe
Park after the game.
Did YOU feel good winning" asked
an inane spectator.
The chief smiled in that enigmatical
manner of his. Feel good" he echoed,
why 1 wouldn't swap my place Just
now for a Presidential nomination"
And that's exactly the status of the
taCiturn aborigine's sentiments and emo
tions at his grand victory

HARVARD ANXIOUS
TO TRIM TIGERS
Crimson Have Only Four Vic
tories to Their Credit.

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 29.-"On to
Princeton and victory" will be the slogan
in the Harvard camp this week. This
will be the first time that these two
ancient rivals have locked horns on the
gridiron in fifteen years. In the olden
days the Prlncetonians seemed to have
a little something on the Harvards, win
ming ten out of the fourteen games and
tying one. To-morrow's practice will IN
all probability be OF a light order, with
many of the regular men enjoying a day
of rest. Tuesday the work will stiffen,
and a good, hard scrimmage indulged in.

DOPE ON LIVELY BALL,
Advertising Signs PeIted During
Season just Closed.

Season just Closed.
At the opening of the season the ma
Jority Of the papers throughout the Amer
lean LeaSIe cir>uit devoted considerable
space to a discussion as to the reason
for the heavy hitting as compared with
the stick work of last year. The new
ball was given by some of the experts
as the reason; others said that the pitch
ers were not up to tn usual standard.
While the majority rested their asser-
tons on the fact that the players were
setting a new standard in the batting
department.
All arguments had some firm ground
on which to rest, and the only definite
conclusion that can be reached is that
the hitting was harder than for MANY
years, and the truth of this assertion
can be verified by a weIl-known tobacco
company There are about 200 bulls
located in baseball parks throughout the
country, and the hits have totaled 23S,
making the prize sum reach 81. 900 There
have been 3,947 home runs recorded, maxi

MARLBORO RACE MEETING.
High-cIass Horses Carded for Two
Weeks Meeting.

Although the meeting at Laurel has
only two days more before the curtain
will be rung down, lovers of the thor
oughbred in Washington and Baltimore
still have two weeks of racing before
them. With the end of the meeting at
Laurel will come a shift to the MarI-
boro, Nd, track, where the Southern
Maryland Fair Association will give a
ten-day meeting, which will be held from
November l to II, inclusive. which bids
fair to be in keeping with the sport seen
at the Pimllco and Laurel tracks
While Marlboro may not be able to
boast CT having all the best horses in
training to carry the silks of the lead
ing owners in races run over that track,
there is every reason to believe that
horses of high class will take part in
the meeting

By WILLIAM PEET.

1t seems 10 be the opinion of those
closely identified with the affairs of the
Washington baseball club that Clarke
Griffith, former manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds, will be the man selected to
fill Jim McAleer's shoes and will pilot
the Nationals next summer.
The club directors will meet this after
noon and announce their selection-a
wise move, inasmuch as the new leader
should be chosen at once, instead OF
waiting until winter.
Just what Griffith can accomplish to-
ward giving Washington a team which
will finish higher than seventh or eighth
place is hard to say. Griff has a harder
problem on his hands than he encounter
ed during his service in Cincinnati,
because there is no nucleus around which
to build a team as awaited him when
he assumed charge in the Ohio city two
years ago.
The Reds did not set the National
League aflre the past summer, but dur
ing the flag end Of the season they put
up a mighty good game, and a number
of promising players were uncovered.
Griffith has had considerable experience
as manager, and has the faculty of
being able to handle his men in such a
manner as to get the best possible re-
SUITS. ne UllSlI ne dlllt " tame llOlu VI
the local club, and. II any of the new
recruits look promising, mold together
n team that will finish near the top of
the first division. If such happened to
he the case WashingtOnianS would hail
him as the greatest ever. Griffith surely
could do no worse than did McAleer dur
ing the past two years.
The writer had the pleasure of riding
out to Shibe Park in Philadelphia last
Thursday in the same automobile with
Adrian Arson, the famous former Ma
tional Lacquer.
The subject Of pitchers came up, and
during the discussion. Walter Johnson's
name was mentioned. I've seen John
son pitch" said Arson, and I consider
him the best in the world. He has more
speed than anybody I ever saw, and
with easy graceful motion should enjoy
a long life in the big league: there is
one criticism or rather one fault about
JOhnsOn's work. his slow ball is too slow
If he could only let down just a trife
I think he would be much more effective.

No Serious Injuries Result from
PittsburE Game.
Ithaca, n. Y, Oct. 29.-When the Cor
nell football coaches looked over the
players to-day to see how they came
through the Pittsburg game they were
pleased to find that there were practi-
cally no serious injuries, and the whole
squad went out for five-mile walk. AL
though the coaches are satisfied that the
two weeks since the defeat by Pennsyl-

provement, they say the game proved
that in team work Cornell was very rag

Says Joe Villa in the New York Sun:
Baseball sharps who know the inside Of
the game laugh at the statement that
the Giants signs, or rather the battery
signs, were tipped 10 the Athletic bats
men by Bender and Topsy HartselI while
on the coaching lines AS a matter of
fact, it was impossible 10 get a correct
line on the signs. as they were fire.
quently changed. 1t is true, however
that Bender closely observed the New
York pitchers as they prepared to de-
liver the ball He watched the way they
gripped the ball before pitching it and
then signaled what he thought was COM
ing. 1t is a fact that a close observer
on the lines who knows how to pitch
can tell by the way the fingers are placed
on the ball whether the boxman intends
to deliver a curve or a fast one. But
as for detecting the actual signs of the
pitcher or catcher. that task is believed
to be impossible, at least from the coach
ing lines.

but then after all guess his speed will
always get him by, so there is no need
of much change of pace"
Answer to Query-Did Danny Murphy
of the Athletics connect for a safe hit
in any one of the first three games?
p. DONOVAN.
Answer-No.
The following blank verse is from the
pen of Ferguson Fague, the sage of Pet
worth:
"Homeward went the Giants to their
little New York town, and every face
in that crowd of men wore a large
sized, full grown frown. Murray hadn't
made 4 hit and Matty, too, had fallen;
every one was in the dumps and in their
hole We're crawlin'. Think of all the
dope they handed to their pals at home
think of all the knocks that landed on
each Giant dome Nothing to it. said
each player, when the strife was young
o the suckers that were easy-elegantlv
stunS. At the station were some people
who had heard the news; not a sound
from them was issued; who'd have
thought the Giants would lose? Added to
these New York softies who had put up
cash. were some sports from this here
burg who bet their dough quite rash
After this they'll take a live tip-pIay
the team The Herald picks; then they'll
have chance to win, the good old stuff
that never sticks"
