1908 was doubly keen because that
year the Giants proved the great

finished fourth when every one ex-

Every other year, without ex-

in either league in 1910. The
Giants were a much better second

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.
=
THIS greatest of Indian pitchers
has had marvellous career.
Bender was born on the Chippewa
reservation at Brainerd, Mimi, and
the date of the event was May 5.

will be 30 years old by the time,
the coming season is well under
way.
At the age of seven, Bender was
sent to Carlisle and received there
a first-class education. Not until
Bender was seventeen did he make
the Carlisle baseball team, and
even then they couldn't see him
as 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 q wonder.
In 1902 Bender left Carlisle and
went to Dickinson college. He
pitched so well 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-
capped by illnesses of various
sorts, but when right physically he
