than that given by Tobias Smollctt,

in the north of Scotland in the eigh-

II never saw such a concourse of
genteel company at any races in Eng

Leith. Hard by, in the fields called

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. z6.-Big
Chief Bender has asked Connie Mack
to please forgive him and promises
to be good Indian In the future.
The famous pitcher OF the Athletics
fell from grace last summer. also from
the water wagon. and the climax was
reached when the Athletics played
their Anal series at the Hilltop. Ben
der came to the park In a boisterous
mood. He didn't care whether school
kept or not. and he wasn't a bit afraid
when he saw the solemn faced Mack
entering the dressing room. Bender
had been that way before and Mack
had quietly passed him by. But Ben
der's condition that day was the last
straw. Mack actually lost his tenn
per. He slapped on a $3.50 fine. sus-
pended the Big Chief for the rest OF
the season without pay and ordered
him to take the earliest possible train
for Philadelphia.
Bender was dumbfounded when he
heard Mack impose this sentence and
left town abruptly He took a brace
almost instantly and reported at Shibe
park for daily practice, hoping that
Mack would reieut But the Athletics
manager refused to even look at Ben
der. who went home at the end of the
season wondering whether he would
be traded or not.
Stories to the effect that Mack In
tended to send the Big Chief to the
minors soon reached the pitchers
ears. He couldn't believe them. yet
he worried. He wrote several letters
to Mack ana received no rpsDOnse

BIG CHIEF BENDER SAYS
HE WILL KEEP PLEDGE

But one day Bender decided to place
himself on record. He wrote another
letter to the tall manager, In which he
declared that he had taken the pledge
and would work his arm or II Mack
would give him just one moro chance.
When Mack received this misstve he
smiled. 1t was just what he had been
waiting for. He sent word to tho In
Clan that he would be expected to
report in frst class condition at the
spring training camp and that his re-
tention by the Athletics would depend
entirely upon his work in the box.
III you break your promise and
fall again, 1t will be the minors Tor
you," was the managers warning. and
it wasn't q biuff. Mack doesn't say
much anyway, but at the American
league meeting In Chicago he told
several close friends that with Ben

Athletics would win the championship
