BENDER AND OLDR|NC
UNDER SUSPENSION
Following Joy Ride Mack
Visits Discipline on Pitcher
and 0utfieIder.

NEW YORK. September 7.-Connie
Mack is noted for his patience and fair
dealing. but there's limit Mack has
been broOding over the behavior of sew
eral star players who helped the Athletics
win the worlds championship from the
Giants last fall. The failure of the team
to keep pace with the conquering Red
Sox this season has proved a bitter dis
appointment and Mack. of late, has been
in anything but good humor. Ever since
the present campaign opened Mack has
been forced to contend with internal dis
sension until yesterday when patience
ceased to be a virtue.
Big Chief Bender, the Athletics star
pitcher, and Rube Odring. the veteran
center fielder. arrived at American
League Park, after joy ride all over
town. Mack met them in the dressing
room and a hot time followed. The man.
ager accused them of breaking the rules
of discipline. not only here but in other
cities. and declared that their lack of
prOpriety had cost many games. Bender
talked loudly and abusively. it is said,
until Mack decided to take the bull by
the horns. He suspended the famous
Indian for the rest of the season without
pay and fined him $500. also ordering him
to go home TO Philadelphia at once Old
ring was also laid off without pay and
was fined 500, being told to accompany
Bender on the first train.
Mack is said to be through with these
men. and will probably trade them at the
earliest opportunity. Bender has been
a tower of strength i'm the box. and his
behavior cannot be accounted for by the
manager The Indian has received a big
salary and has been lionized by Phila-
delphia fans. He kicked over the traces
last spring. Mack says. but was forgiven
when he promised to be good.
At the time Bender embarked on his
joy ride he did not know that his wife
was in a serious condition at their home

PITCHERS LAX WITH MEN ON.
So Say Athletics in Discussing
Chance of Red Sox.

NEW YORK. September WITHOUT
using names. several members of the
Athletics expressed their views yester-
day regarding the prowess of the Boston
Red SoX. One of them said that the
Boston pitchers. while very effective. DO
not watch base runners closely enough
IL this defect is overcome before the pro-
spective worlds series with the Giants il
is contended that Catcher Carrigan. will
be materially aided i'm throwing out base
stealers. Carrigan is steadier than Cady,
according to the Athletics, and will catch
all of the games. no doubt. Macks men
believe that the Red Sox viii pin their
faith to Speaker, Wagner. Gardner aud
Joe Wood. They predict that as soon AS
the Bostons have cinched the pennant
Wood will receive a rest so that he can
pitch i'm at least three games against the
Giants. Oddly enough. the passing cham--
pions seem to believe that Jake Stah
may prove a weak spot in the Red SoN
infield. One of Macks star pitchers eN-
pressed the opinion yesterday that the
Giants would be more easily disposed or
than they were last year. while crack
infielder remarked that the Cubs still had
an excellent chance To finish ahead Of
McGraw's men.

By II. c. BYRD.

The amateur base ball season here will
end today. The ouble-header this after
noon between the Pepco nine and the
championship club of Richmond will mark
the passing of the amateur game for the
present year. OF course. the local win
ner will go to Richmond next Saturday
for two contests, but today's games are
the last which are to be played in the
District.
1t is to be hoped that the local crew will
be triumphant in the final games Of the
year. Followers of the amateur end of
the sport have stuck to the different
teams faithfully during the regular sea-
son, but today they will unite in the
hope that the championship of the south
will be brought to this city by the win
ner.
There is no doubt that the Pepco nine
has at least an even chance to win the
series, and 1t is to be hoped that it will
take both ends of the double-header this
afternoon. If it accomplishes that then
all that remains to decide the champion
ship in favor Of it is for one game to be
Won of the two to be played in Richmond
next week. And if the two games today
are both won there is no reason to doubt
that at least one Of the two next week
will be taken
1t is probable that the greatest crowd
which has ever watched an amateur ball
game in this city will attend today at
American League park. The interest in
the series when the different leagues were
playing for the championship was exceo-
tionally great. and now that the winner
here is to meet the champion Of Richmond
it is more than likely that the concern
will be much greater than previously.
1t would not be surprise If 5000 per-
sons attend the game.
The first game has been scheduled to
start at = o'clock sharp. SO that ample
time will be given to finish both contests
If either or both go into extra innings.
There is a possibility that the Pepco
nine will be outclassed. but 1t is not like
ly The Electricians are stronger COM
bination than the great ajority of anna
teur clubs, and there is small possibility
that any amateur organization will be
able to show marked superiority over
them 1t is very seldom that an amateur
club is found which looks like a more ca
pabfe combination than that which repre-
sents the power company.

Johnson's record. They want him to
have that much honor for his great
impossible that he will break Mar
guards record before the season is
over. for the Boston team is now in a
position where it can afford to pick
spots for Wood, for the pennant is as
good as won.
In the final game here today Bob
Groom will in all probability be worked
against Bedient. Sunday the Nationals
will play in Albany. and Monday they

In the third the Nationals got three

The game was won in the sixth. when
with two out Speaker hit to left for two
bases. He scored when Lewis popped
little fly to. right which Moelier couio
not quite reach.
After that the Red Sox never had
look-in. but not so with the Nationals.
They threatened in the eighth and the
ninth. but that base hit which would
have at least tied the score was not to
be had. Foster got as far as second. with
but one out in the eighth, but was left

Both winners played good golf in win
ming their matches. Travers putting up
splendid game in the afternoon against
Kerr, while Evans did his best work on
the first nine holes I'm the morning.
The metropolitan champion began poor
ly, for on the first hole he was bunkered
on his second. and after playing two more
without getting out, picked up his ball.
1t was Kerr's turn to blow up at the
second. Travers winning this hole. and on
the third a stymie helped the Vermont
champion to get a half BY the time the
seventh was reached Travers had won
three holes in succession, but lost the
ninth by taking three puts. his hrst

for home with Travers up.
Coming in, the Upper Montclair player
began to increase his lead, and was four
up at the fourteenth. Kerr then rallied.
and picked up two holes coming in, finish
ing the round only , down.
Travis Plays Great Golf.
In the afternoon it was a different
story. Travers cut loose as soon as he
started, and surprised the gallery by
reaching the first green in two and hol-
ing a twenty-foot putt for three, the
best golf Of the week on that hole. He
then began a series of well played holes
that soon had Kerr out of the running
The next four holes were made In four
each, and at the long sixth Travers holed
a twentyfoot putt that gave him half
when 1t looked as though Kerr had a
sure win. At the turn the metropolitan
titleholder was seven up and the match
was as good as over.
Although he halved the tenth, Travers
followed a poor approach with a poor
putt at the eleventh, and Kerr took the
hole. The next was halved and Travers
was dormie six up. Though he needed
only a half to win the match, Travers
took the thirteenth. Kerr, who was bum
