CONNIE MACK'S INGENIOUS WAY OF KEEPING PITCHER BENDER KEYED UP TO CHAMPION
 SHIP FORM.

Ask the average baseball fan" if 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. Man ager of the Philadelphia American League Baseball Team" (The Athlet- ics)
 In the June number of The Ameri- can Magazine Henry Beach Needham tells a number of interesting stories about the maker of last years worlds 8 championship team. One of which is on Bender the great Indian football player and pitcher. Of him he writes:
 "Few baseball fans know that Bender, the Indian, who did so much to win the American League pennant, pitched the season through for year ly salary of about two thousand dol- lars-a beggarly wage for so lumin- ous a star This is how it happen ed: In the season of 1908 Bender did very poor work, and in the spring Of 1909, conscious of his shortcomings, he announced to the sporting writers that he was to quit baseball and be- come a road salesman. Seeing the report in the newspapers, Professor McGillicuddy wrote Bender 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, call ing for a salary of about two thous- and dollars, which was much less than the Indian had received in the pre-

JIM 0'R0URKE WAS A "CIANT"
 WHEN PITTSBURC PLAYED IST
 GAME AGAINST NEW YORK
That Will be "A Years Ago Tomorrow and "Jm' Was Some
 Feature in That Memorable Game
Some Interesting Baseball History of Quarter of Century Ago
 --It Seems Almost Like an Event of Yesterday

Honors have been pretty even be- tween the Giants and the Pirates, who played in New York yesterday, since these combinations have been bat tling against each other. In twenty burg clubs have engaged in 426 con- fiicts that have been fought to a fin ish. Of these games the COrsairs have won the majority-a very slight majority. Pittsburg stands credited in the official records with PIT vic tories. New York with 209. The Buc- cancers have won eleven series to the Giants nine. four sets of tussles hav- ing been split up evenly.
 It was in 1887 that the Pittsbure and New York teams first faced each other in the National League. The present Pirates were, for five years previously. in the old American As sociation and then were alluded to in the box scores and in the guides as the Alleghenies, not the Pitts burgs-
 The first National League game played between New York and Pitts burg clubs was staged on the old Polo Grounds at 10th street on May 20, 1887. Some $500 enthusiasts, all pulling for New York, were present their now highly esteemed rivals The score was 10 to g.
 For the Giants on this occasion an untamed left-hander named William George, who once issued seventeen bases on balls in a nine-inning game against Chicago, was the artillerist. Georges command was not particu- larly good twenty-four years Qess 3 days) ago today, as historians an- nounced that he was responsible by his wild pitching for eight of the nine runs scored by the present per- ennial pursuers of the pennant. George walked six men, hit two, un- coiled foRr wild pitches and also had charged up against him in the box score a base awarded to batter on an illegal delivery.
 Against the "Rube'' Marquard of his time was pitted Jim Mccormick, who helped Larry Corcoran and Fred Goldsmith to win a couple of pen nants for Chicago and who now is living in Paterson, N- J. He receiv- ed execrable support, his teammates making ten errors behind him. George did not get adequate backing either. as the Giants committed five misplays and he himself erred thrice ly.
 Among the New York players m this game were John Montgomery Ward, whose name recently was again brought into baseball promi- hence through his suit against B. B.

Johnson, president of the American league, George Gore, who now works for a railroad in New York, Roger Connor and Jim O'Rourke who are taking life easy. In those days Jim O'Rourke was playing third base.
 Arthur Whitney, later a Giant and now interested in a sporting goods house in Springfield, Mass, covered third for the Pittsburgs. Then they were not called the Pirates. Indeed, they did not get their present nick name until in the fall of 1890, when Horace Phillips, finding that by acci- dent Louis Bierbauer's name had been left off the Philadelphia Amer ican Association clubs reserve list, went out and practically stole this player from the then rival of the National League and started another baseball war.
 This is the score of the first cham pionship game between the New York and Pittsburg teams:

SENATORS WIN OUT BY
 THEIR HITS
COnnery's Men Find Red Waller
 to Their Liking
(By Wagner.)

When the pitcher is going right the team looks bad. Old stuff, but true Yesterday about 1000 fans saw Red Waller pounded freely by the Hart ford Senators who increased their lead in first place by beating McCanns S men to ?. The Senators got to Waller for F clean hits, including a triple and a two bagger. Many thought Red should have been taken out in the third inning when he fore ed in a run after being tapped for a couple of hits. Red didn't have much smoke and the heavy artillery of the visitors found him very choice picking.
 Lefty Leverenz was wild in the opening session. but after that he got down to business and gave Bridgeport nothing but a frosty glance. The locals got six raps, including a pair of two baggers, but they weren't punched except in the first when Benny Kauff came across with a time ly single.
 Hartford looks like a pennant con- tender. Connery has a well balanced club. With good stickers like Soffel. Hart. High, Rehg and Connery, and

a capable pitching staff, the Senators will be up there all season.
 Bridgeport played a wobbly game in the field. Jimmy Hall and Bob Stowe were off their feed. Jimmy hasn't got into his stride since his illness, and Bob has yet to show his 1910 form. It was not poor fielding that cost the game, though. Nothing but good. old fashioned hitting by the other fellows. Of course the score would have been closer if Hi Ladd hadn't misjudged fly and Red Wal Ter had caught Gloomy Gus Soffel be- tween second and third
 Bridgeport grabbed two in the open CT. Hey beat out an infield hit and took second on Rehg's wild throw Litschi sacrificed him to third Tom Crooks drew pass. and stole second. Hi Ladd popped to Soffel Benny Kauff saved the day by soaking a sin gle over second that scored E1ey and Crooks. Hartford drew a run in the third and then proceeded to rub it in by getting three in the fifth and four in the eighth. The score:

ceding season. Within an hour of the receipt of this communication, Bender hurried into the offices of the PhiIa- delphia club and said:
 That was all a. joke about my quitting baseball. Cannie. I've 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 of ball you pitched last season. Now Il don't 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. I know you'll do the right thing by me-
 Bender pitched good ball in 1909, and at the season's close received large bonus. I had intended to give him just what he got in 1908 said Connie Mack, but I still felt mean about it, so I added an extra hundred Then came the time to sign up the players for next season. Cornelius Mc- 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 McGillicuddy ap- piled his pragmatic psychology.
 "'You see, John, I rather like that contract we had last season. said Pro- lessor McGilicudy to the Indian. eWhy-it worked out mighty well You pitched grand ball. And-why-Im superstitious. I'm afraid if we change it, you won't be in such great form Can't help being superstitious. Why I guess it's my nature
 "'An right, Connie.' said Bender I'm not afraid you won't treat me right Give me a blank contract; I'll sign it. and you can write in any sal- ary you like" Which was done; saI- ary exactly the same as in the 1909 contract. All because Connie Mack IS superstitious-and because Cornelius is pragmatist.
 "The Indian, Bender, pitched re- markable ball last season. He won the first game of the worlds series, giving his team the jump On ths Cubs In addition to his share Of ths gate receipts of that series, he receiv- ed from the Philadelphia club A,OOs by way of salary"

"There'll be big shake up in the Bridgeport team in few days, and I'm not going to wait until the club drops into last place, either,' declared Manager McCann today. "Pm dis gusted with the showing of the club. I can't sit through many more games like yesterdays, and I don't blame the fans for being sore. I'm after some good men now and you can make up your mind that they will be the goods. I intend to have a team that will be among the leaders all the time. I can't stand for a loser''
 Manager McCann said he received a telegram from Owner Farrell of the New York Americans that Outfielder Bailey had been taken from Cleveland

McGraw pitch Marquard oftener In eight innings against St. Louis "Rube'' struck out 14 men and in his single inning against the Pirates yesterday, he retired the side on strikes.
 Washington and Boston each made 5 hits but couldn't win.
 The Mechanics departed for Massa- chusetts on the 10:43 train this morn- ing. Red Waller and Tex Rumsey were left behind They went to New field and gave themselves a workout.
 Manager McCann expects to use either Uppy Upham or Freddy Gibbs against Springfield today. Ivor Swanson will probably be saved for Northampton tomorrow

to St. Louis with the Yankees. Have decided to keep Bailey for a few days,'' the telegram read. The local magnate wired, ''Club in bad shape. Send Bailey at once." Farrell prom ised to ship Bailey here and he will probably start from St. Louis today. He ought to arrive in this city Sun day or Monday.
 A number of local fans have been inquiring about the prospects of Sum- day ball in this city. The diamond at Steelpechase Island is to be put in- to good shape this season, and stands erected for the accommodation of the spectators. Manager McCann is ready to bring his team there if things are fixed so that the fans will be com fortable. Within a few weeks it will probably be announced whether the Mechanics will play there

 Keep those Senators away until the Mechanics get going please.
 Chief Snyder won s16 playing pool last night at the Atlantic hotel. He is some shooter. The crack pitcher takes on all corners and generally wins. II went home with a pocket full of mazuma last night" said the Chief.
 Lefty Leverenz was saved for the Mechanics He hasn't worked since last week when he trimmed the locals by to 3.
 Jolly Joe Whalen, last year with the Mechanics, caught for Holyoke yes terday against Springfield and got a home run. Springfield used three pitchers. Pitchers Greenwell, Temple and Christopher. Tretter worked the whole yame for the PapermakerS.
 Kid Rehg is the only weak cog in the Hartford infield machine. The youngster is a good sticker but is er- ratio in the field Connery now has lines out for a good shortstop and will shift Rehg to the outfield. Spike Hickey will probably then be canned.
 Mike Smalling continues to get his daily hit for Holyoke. He contributed one against Springfield yesterday. The tall boy is a favorite with the Pulp vile fans.
 Mild Mike Doherty has succeeded Wade Moore as manager of the Hol- yoke club. Moore became discouraged because things broke bad for him and Doherty was secured. Mike ought to be able to get the Papermakers going. Pitcher George Paige, formerly with New Haven, has been bought by the Clevelands. He didn't have very good luck when in this league.
 Holyoke has signed Catcher Meegan, who appeared here with Troy of the New York State league in an exhibi- tion game last year.
 baseman, reported yesterday and made two hits against Holyoke.
 number of local fans went to New York yesterday to see the Giants play Pittsburg. They report that Hans Wagner got three hits for the Pirates, was the particular star. Matty was knocked out of the box by Pittsburg.
 Slapper Sam Kennedy, one of the scouts for Cleveland. was in town yesterday looking them over. He had been to Williamstown, Mass, to see Davis. the Williams college pitcher. Sam said Davis didn't look very good. Kennedy managed the New London and Meriden teams at various times.
 Owner James H. Clarkin of the Hartford club sat in tha nrass box.

 In the second with Soffel on sec ond, Hart tapped to Waller. Red had Soffel caught between second and third but in running him down he
 made a bad throw and Gus got back to the halfway station. Herman Schincel, the old Holyoke and Waterbury catcher, was on the job for the Senators. He didn't throw with his usual accuracy. Kauff
 Stowe and Crook stole second on
 him.
 The Phillies are certainly hard losers. Doolan, Knabe and Mage kicked themselves out of the game when the Cubs began to pile up runs. 
 The Brooklyns have won three straight games. Hoorah. Callahan, Delahanty and Ainsmith grabbed off a quartet of safeties each, Delahanty's including two triples. The St. Louis Browns filled the bases in the ninth inning with none out and yet couldn't get across a run. The Cubs sharpshooters were in rare trim against Moore and Shultz and picked off six singles, four dou- bles and three home runs.
