ROBS RED SOX
Of STAR PLAYER
By Bill Bailey.

" OSTON, MASS, oct. 18.-John
X J. McGraw, manager OF the
New York Giants, was right
when he said that golf was no game
for a baseball man.
Yes, this is a White Sox story, all
right But what the gingery leader
Of the Giants said applies to the SoX
for It looks very much as if a game
of golf gave them one Of the sweetest
little catchers who has broken into
the game since the debut Of Ray

Tom Daley is his name and re halls

Chief BENDER
SEEMS ABLE To
GO ON FOREVER
Connie MaCk's Wonderful Indian
Has Great Record for Ten
Years Just Passed.

4 LBERT BENDER, who with
n stood the rush OF the Giant
wrecking crew in two games,
has been connected with Connie Mack
for a goodly number of years, but he
seems to he another one Of those who
are able to so on forever.
Each spring II is said about Ben
der, just like Eddie Plank, the south
paw. who has been hurting for ages,
likely 20 go back at any time" But
each year Bender comes around and
is hurllng the same consistent ball he
did the season before.
Since Bender came to the Athletics.
way back in 1908. he has a winning
percentage Of Gal. which Is very good
for any pitcher This record consti-
tutes 1I9 victories and an even 100
defeats
True, Bender has been with team
that almost always landed well to the
front, but for one who after each
season is doped as sure to go back,
this Is very good. And Bender is one
of the malnstays Of Connie Mack on
the firing line He has been for some
years, and he will continue.
d EFORE coming to the Athletics,
- chief pitched for the Carlisle in
dian School and later for the Harris
burg A. c. After this. In 1903. he
came to the Makers and has been
connected with the team ever since.
In 1905, when the Athletics won a
no mt h.
Bender that helped much Then in
1910 and 1911, when Connie Mack
again chaperoued pennant winners,
Bender was one Of the chief main
stays on the firing line.
Tho best year Bender has enjoyed
since he came to the Athletics was in
1910, when he wound up the season
with % victories and only 5 de-
feats, for a percentage OF SCI. This
put him at the top OF the American
League hurlers for that season.
4 Nd only twice during the ten years
\ he has been connected with the
Ringing corps Of the Athletics did he
fan under the 800 mark. The first
came in 1904, when he wound up with
476, and in 1908, when he won eight
and lost nine, for a All percentage.
What's more. the Chief has pitched
what every hurler in the natlona!
pastime strives hard TO acquire. n no
hit, no-run game. This was accom-
plished on May -, 1905, with the
Cleveland Maps as his opponents. IN
that season also he was the only hurl-
er ON Connie Mack's pay roll to take
a game from the Giants in tho Worlds
Series.

EXPECTS MUCH
Of CHAS. DAILY

NEW YORK, Oct. 18,--Ever since

quired Charlie DAILY as coach
the West Point squad has claimed an
unusual share Of interest in the grid
iron world. This Is Days first sea-
son as groom for the Cadets. but
everybody is expecting him to do
great things.
You know who this DAILY fellow is
don't you?
Wen. to begin with, he is one Of The
greatest bear-cats that ever Rugged
the pigskin. He has two records
which shine out as beacon lights IN
the realm Of football one of these
he made at Harvard and the other at
West Point There never was but one
player who was better than DAILY at
Harvard that was DAILY at West
Point. You viii recall that famous
Army Navy game played at Washing
ton away back in the early years Of
the Roosevelt administration Ted
dy' was there. you bet And he saw
the Navy suffer a humiliating and
personally conducted defeat at the
hands Of Charlie DAILY.

This is what the exuberaut Presi-
dent said.to DAILY just after the game:

All You Need is a
Cascaret Tonight.

Turn the rascals out-the headache
the billiousness, the Indigestion, the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight and keep them
out with Cascarets
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy Nv
er, clogged bowels or an upset stoin-
ach.
Don't put in another day of dis
tress. Let Casearets cleanse and reg
ulate your stomach: remove the sour
undigested and fermenting food and
that misery making gas; take the ex-
cess bile from your liver and carry
out of the system all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the intes-
tines and bowels Then you viii feel
great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straiehten you cut by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means a clear
head, sweet stomach and clean, heal
thy liver and bowel action for months.
Children love 10 take Casearets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe or
sicken.
