BENDER HARDEST TO HIT.
Allowed Only 1872 Hits During Entire
Season-Fine Showing.

Chief Bender, although he did not
pitch as many games as some other
pitchers in the American league last
season, had phenomenal record. He
pitched $50 innings. during which
time 100 players faced him $40 times
and hit safely 1872 times for an aver
age of .207 His average was much
better than Mullins the star pitcher
for 1909. Mullin, in that year worked
i'm over so more innings and held the
American league batters to an average
of .355. Bender beating that mark by
.04S. Bender came close to equalizing
the record set by big Ed Walsh in
1908. when he kept the batting aver
age of the American league i'm games
which he pitched to .202.
Bender was exceptionally effective
against st. Louis. keeping il to mark
Of .165. Strange TO say, the team that
found his offerings tee easiest TO solve
was a second division team. the erst
while much despised Washington
team. The Senators headed the list In
batting against the Indian, facing him
ia times for 20 hits and the not-to-b be-
sneezed-at average of .254. Detroits
bunch OF sluggers were also camping
on the redman's trail, getting an aver
age of 1886.

BIG PETITION TO
THE GOVERNOR
WILL BE SENT TO OSBORN URG-
ING HIM TO RUN FOR
SECOND TERM
IN 1912.

According to Detroit advices some
pressure has already been brought to
bear upon Gov. Osborn to induce him
10 consider a second term.
The matter Is i'm the same state
that Gov. Warmers third term cam
paign was at this time of year in
1907. There is no definite announce
ment. but there is a noticeable move
mcnt.
It is planned by the pro-Osborn en-
thusiasts who favor n second term for
the governor, to prepare the largest pc
tition ever collected for political pur-
poses i'm the state, and to oblige Gov.
Osborn to consider it,
1t is said by these that serious OPP
position would not be raised to such
a candidature, because of the two
term precedent Patrick II. Kelley, IL
is understood, will not be candidate
under any conditions. Fred G. Mar
tndale is an avowed candidate. Lieut.
Gov. Ross has been urged to run for
governor, and still more strongly to
run for congressman i'm the Ninth dis
trict. State Treasurer Sleeper is pos
sble candidate in a clear field.
1t is understood that the main pres
sure yet manifested has come from a
man who ran on the same ticket with
Gov. Osborn, who will probably run
again on the same ticket He declared
to the governor that il was necessary
in case the legislature did not pass the
bills promised by the last state con
vention, that Gov. Osborn should run
again.
A very prominent state politician
covered the situation in these words:
when Gov. Osborn declared III
would not be a candidate for SECOND
term it was his opinion that the legis'
lature would pass the bills promised
in the state platform, and that 1t woul'
be easier for them and for him If M
second-term consideration was includ
ed in their deliberations. Now II TIT
legislature passes the necessary pro
sressive legislation the declaration To-
one term may stand. If IL fails to pass
such legislation. II would seem tn
natural course for Gov. Osborn to rur
again. and to insist that these laws
be passed as promised
II was said at the state convention
that number of interesting candida
cies for governor would soon be ablos
soming. If IL were not that so man!
people still feel that Gov. Osborn vii
reconsider. The governor does not !
-
didate for second term. But If
number of the people show determin
alton to make him a candidate. Their
are many who think he would not re
sist.

MANAGERS MAKE
MANY MISTAKES
HUGHEY JENNINGS BEMOANS
PRESENT WEAKNESS OF
CATCHING sTAFF-LET
GOOD MEN co.

The best of managers make mis-
lakes, Hughey Jennings, three times
winner in the American league. is no
exception TO the rule.
Just at the present time the scrap
by Detroit leader is bemoaning the
weakness of his catching staff. He
greatly fears that weakness in that
direction will hurt his chance in 1911.
Schmidt Is erratic, Stanage is a high
class man if he keeps In shape while
Casey would be wonder IL he could
lnly hit.
That the Detroit staff could be
strengthened considerably is a certain
ty, but good receivers are hard to
ind and Jennings is in a quandary as
to how he can bolster up his backstop-
ping department. In all probability. IL
you asked Jennings IL he could use
Catcher Archer OF the Chicago Nation
ais, Ira Thomas Of the Athletics or Err
win Of Brooklyn he would promptly re
ply no. These catchers are all con-
sidered good enough for other majori
league teams, yet, with the possibleI
exception of Archer. Jennings would
probably turn down a chance to gct|
any of the trio.
The reason for such a decision on
his part, is the fact that at one time
al three catchers drew their pay as
Tigers. Thomas, who did most of the
catching for the worlds champion
Athletics, and hit .277 in sixty games
was until few years ago a member
of the Detroit club.
Catcher Archer of Chicago, who by
many is registered as a better man
than Johnny King. was until few
years ago a Tiger. Jennings carried
him a year, and then turned him back
To Buffalo without a string. He was
| awfully weak with the stick as an
American Lacquer. yet managed To hit
Esq for Chance last summer
Catcher Erwin. who shared the
catching honors with Bergen at Brook
lyn last year. was tried out by Jen-
nings several years ago and cut loose.
While Erwin is not a hard hitter he
is said TO be a finished backstop. Even
If Hughey wanted any one Of the trio
II is a good bet that none OF the men
he discarded could be secured.

FRANK eoTcH WILLING.
Says He Will Meet Any Wrestler In
World For the Money

Il will meet any man I'm the world
any time he shows some money"
That was the statement made this
morning by Prank Gotch. at Duluth.
Monday.
There has been a lot of talk about
money being deposited for a match be-
tween Hackenschmidt. Zbyszko or
some of the other big wrestlers and
yours truly" said the only Frank A.
Let me tell you that the first time
there is any real money offered / will
be right there anxious-eyed to make
the match.
The American people know that |
have never lodged a match in my life
and have beaten the best in the world.
and having beaten these fellows once,
is there any reason why I should have
reason to fear. any of them2
Without wishing TO brag in any
way, I sincerely believe when HaciSen-
schmidt and meet. victory win come
70 me quicker than most Of my coun-
trymen imagine defeated Hack once.
and there is no doubt in my mind but
that l can turn the trick again and
accomplish his defeat much quicker
than l did in the Chicago match.
Don't mistake my meaning in any
way; Hackenschmidt is one of the
grandest athletes in the world. Yus-
sif Mahmout is also one of the greatest
wrestlers i'm the world. l have nothing
against any OF them. when they get
the purses and backing they have been
talking so much about. you will find
that am ready and willing TO wrestle."

1t is so small that it is hardly worth
consideration. Illinois coal put to the
test at the University Of Illinois lost

Is the loss by fire from spontaneous
combustion and the breaking up o.
