MEYERS IS STRONG
FOR CHIEF BENDER

Big Chief Bender has one stanch
rooter in the Giants, and that lad is
the rival chieftain, the star catcher
Of the McGrawians. Chief Meyers
thinks that Bender is the greatest
pitcher in the American league. and
he is always sounding the praises OF
his redskin compatriot.
Chief Meyers Travelled with the Ath-
letics when they took their transcon-
tinental tour, and from the moment
he saw Charles Albert in action was
a strong rooter for the Chippewa.
Next to the peerless Mathewson
himself, Meyers says that the best
pitcher he ever saw in action is Ben

New York, Oct. 20.-A friend Of

newspaper men prior to the game that
started the worlds series. and he told
a number Of yarns that reflected the
cunning and craft of the little general.
For W weeks before the opening Of
the series with the H~ighlanders last
season it had failed to rain. The men
commanded by Chase were rather fast
on the bases, and big Chief Meyers
was not pegging any too we'll. Nc
Graw wanted to stop base stealing by
the American leaguers, and he resort
ed to a pretty slick trick. He had the
Polo grounds flooded before each
game, and had a couple of mudholes
behind first and third. The result was
that when the H~ighlanders tried to
steal they were so fast. and the chief
had them thrown out by inches, where
on a dry soil the Chasemen would
have been able to reach the bag.

struggle between the Chicago Teams

The figures for 1907 and 1908, when
the Cubs played the Tigers, were away
below those made here this year. The
1907 series drew only 1908 persons
and that Of 1908 only 62.232.
The high water mark previous to

seven games between Detroit and
