SONS who saw men on the streets yelling
that they had tickets and holding up
punches of them naturally thought that
the spectators had bought out the
grounds. They did not know that about
5000 of these tickets were fakes. and
that those who bought them threw away

BIG CHIEF BENDER
IN WORLDS SERIES
Has Splendid Record, But
Shows He Cannot "Come
Back"

Almost as interesting as Matty's
showing against American League
clubs in post-season warfare has been
Charles Albert Bender's record against
National League clubs.
Bender has proved each time to be
a marvel in his opening game. Back
and allowed but four hits in his debut
battle In 1910 he gave the Cubs but
three hits and permitted but one run.
Bender has worked through four
post-season games against National
League clubs. but unlike Matty, all
four were pitched in worlds series
fighting. In these four games, two
each against the Giants and Cubs, the
Indian has given vent to seven runs
and twenty-one hits, an average of
something less than two runs to the
game and about Ave hits to the battle.
There is no discounting the worth of
this record. 1t shows Bender to be one
of the steadiest and most effective per-
formers of the game.
In his two battles against McGraw' s
people through the 1905 melee the
Giants only scored twice in eighteen
/ innings and ran up but nine base hits
1 in the two contests.
shows that the stalwart redskin has
always won his opening fight and suf-
! fered defeat in his second start, pitch
ing much less effectively after his first
/ great effort.
! This may be accounted for by the
| fact that Bender has never been able
| to recover quickly after hard game
| or come back at an early date with
| anything like his best form.

people the only ball team they have ever
had, standing second in 1909, first in 1910
and third in 1911, always having team
that has been fighting hard for first, Sec
ord or third honors. The makeup of
his club has generally been largely of
college and university men. some OF
whom are now playing good ball in the
A class circuits.
That Shaugnnessy would make Fort
Wayne a capital manager is shown by
his record here this past season, when
he was able to set the pace for his team
in practically every department of the
game. This year he hit at 1927. standing
ahead of his entire team. He was the
leading base Stealei of the circuit and
one Of the leading outfielders. The Of
fetal averages, however show him up
bad in the outfield, for half dozen err
rors made while substituting behind the
bat, are cha ged against him an out
fielder
Shaughnessy is a manager who will
bite the player who does not give him
his best services, but as easy as one can
he with the player who Is giving the
team his best efforts.
Should Fort Wayne put in draft for
Shaughnessy it would be hard blow to
the Roanoke association. which would
have to look a long time to find a man
to fill his shoes.
Harvey Brooks has been drafted by
the Oakland Pacific coasD club, and
this crack pitcher will get chance next
spring to show Harry Wolverton some
of the best pitching talent that has ever
gone from the Virginia League. Last
season Brooks, though out of condition
for nearly a month on account of sick
ness, won twenty and lost sixteen games
for the locals. the team behind him
winding UP in last place. His pitching
record was so and his teams $50.
Brooks is wintering at his home near
West Point, this state, and ought to be
in good condition next String He holds
games in the Eastern Carolina League
in 1910, when playing at Wilmington
under Lynchburg farm.
Pitcher Russell. who has been signed
by the Baltimore team for trial next
spring. had trial last spring with the
Danvfilc team i'll this league, but was
let go for the lack of experience. Man
ager Laughlin. however, predicted that
Russell would be Il conner with a little

Victor Accorsini will be all applicant
for a position on the staff of the Eir-
ginia League umpires next season. Ac-
corsini caught several years with Little
Rock in the Southern League and played
several subsequent seasons in the Nut

the game. Vic knows the game and
believes he can make 1t an indicator

in Marquard is whether he can stand

He has never been through the fire of

flying colors, he is expected to stand
