with my felicitations-my apologies. So
often do you wash your political dirty
linen in public, SO loudly do you de-
plore your inability to cope with the
task. that n takes you at you word
lin great questions one doubts your
skill. Now. II you will pardon the
continued use of the simile, I have
seen your national sanitary steam
laundry turning out the very finest
work without a stain or a smear, and
doing 1t with a speed and an intelli-
gent Energy which has not yet been
equalled since the beginning OF things.
The prejudices which your own pens
bred in my soul I forthwith tear out
as effectively as in Culebra cut q hum
dred steam navies tea out their thou
sands Of cubic, yards OF dirt day after
day. Here on this Jungle spread 18TH
mus. across q belt Of country 40 miles
long by 10 wide, you have gathered to

Keeping Bender Keyed Up

I don say that's all you'll get. What
you get depends entirely on YOU. The
better your pitching the bigger your
salary-a bonus to be paid at the end
of the season, If you've earned it,
The Indian agreed, saying: You've
always treated me fair and square,
Connie. ! know you'll do the right
thing by me-
Bender pitched good ball in 1909,
and at the seasons close received a
him just what he got in 190s,' said
Connie Mack. but I still felt mean
about it, 80 I added an extra hundred
Then came the time to sign up the
players for next season. Cornelius Nc
Gillicuddy was perplexed. If he gave
Bender a contract for the full amount
OF his salary for 1909. would he pitch
good ball, or would he lay down?
Professor McGilicuddy applied his
pragmatic psychology.
"'You see, John, I rather like that
contract we had last season. said Pro-
lessor McGillicuddy to the Indian.
p MeSMit v weTksd ha oSt mighty nty well. You
superstitious. I'm afraid IL we change
It, YOU won't be in such great form
Can't help being superstitious. Why-I
guess It's my nature
"Al right. Connie,' said Bender.
I'm I'm not afraid you won't treat me
sign 1t, and you can write in n SAL
airy you like" Which was done: salary
exactly same as in the 1909 Contract.
All because Connie Mack is superstiti-
ous-and because Cornelius McGilii-
cuddy 10 a pragmatist.
The Indian. Bender. pitched remark
able ball last season. He won the first
same Of the worlds series, giving his
team the jump on the Cubs. In addi-
ITO to his share Of the gate. receipts Of
that series, he received from the Phila-
delphia club $4,000 by way Of salary"
Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1911-06-15

Ask the average baseball FAM il he
knows Cornelius McGillicuddy, and he
will probably answer in the negative.
Ask him if he knows Connie Mack and
he is quick with the reply, Manager of
the Philadelphia American league base
ball team" (the Athletics.)
In he American Magazine Henry
Beach Needham tells q number Of in
teresting stories about the maker of
last years worlds championship team.
One Of which is on Bender, the great
Indian football player and pitcher. OF
him he writes:
Few baseball fans know that Ben
der, the Indian, who did so much to win
h American league pennant, pitched
the season through for a yearly salary
SO luminous a star This is how 1t
happened: In the season Of 1908 Ben
der did very poor work, and in the
spring Of 1909, conscious of his short
cOmtngs, he announced to h sporting
writer's that he was to quit baseball
and become a road salesman. Seeing
the report in the newspapers, Professor
.McGillicuddy wrote Bender a pleasant
letter of cOngratulation, thanking him
for his services to the Athletics, and
wishing him all good luck in his new
undertaking. Merely to comply with
the rules OF the league, a contract for
the new season was inclosed, calling for
q salary of about $4,000. which was
much less than the Indian had received
in the preceding season. Within an
hour of the receipt of this communica-
ton, Bender hurried into the ofices Of
the Philadelphia club and said:
THAT was all q joke about my quit
ting baseball, Connie. rye got to earn
my living pitching ball.
"McGillicuddy nodded, with no show,
OF enthusiasm, and said: That was
your real contract. I can't afford to
pay you any more money for the class
iof ball you pitched last season. Now
