in 1905 the Kilties were just bare
ly nosed out by Boston and Chi
cago, respectively. In 1904 the
brave fight was overshadowed be-
cause the Polo grounders won the
pennant. The disappointment in
1908 was doubly keen because that
year the Giants proved the great
est disappointment Of history and
finished fourth when every one ex-
pected them to cop a third straight
flag.
Every other year, without ex-
ception, the Giants laid it away
over their rivals. It Is true that
the two local teams finished second
in either league In 1910. The
Giants were q much better second
than the Yankees, however. and
vindicated their claims to distinc-
ton by trimming the American
leaguers in the only post-sea son Sc
ries ever played by the local rivals.
So altogether the Giants have been
one continual success, while the
Highlanders have been a continual
disappointment.
THE condition of affairs has hurt
both teams-the Americans. Of
course, far the more. McGraw was
one of the happiest men in the
country when he learned that
Frank Chance had been engaged to

Bender has been free this winter
from the rheumatism that has
sometimes troubled him and is in
as good shape as ever in his life.
IT HIS greatest of Indian pitchers
has had a marvellous career.
Bender was born on the Chippewa
reservation at Brainerd, Mimi, and
the date Of the event was May 5,
1SS3-which means that the chief
will be 80 years old by the time
the coming season Is well under
way.
At the age of seven, Bender was
semitic Carlisle and received there
a f1rst-class education. Not until
Bender was seventeen did he make
the Carlisle baseball team, and
even then they couldn't see him
as a pitcher, but used him at first
instead. The following year he
forced himself on their attention
as a pitcher. Also he made the
football team, and was a wonder.
In 1902 Bender left Carlisle and
went to Dickinson college. He
pitched so we'll the next spring that
the Harrisburg Athletic club
grabbed him, and from there he
went to the Athletics.
Since then Bender's career has
been brilliant. He has been handi-
