each year Bender comes around and
Is hurting the same consistent ball
ne did the season before.
Since Bender came 70 the Athletics
way back in 1903. he has a winning
percentage OF .6ST. which Is very good
FOR any pitcher. This record consti-
tutes 160 victories and only 81 de-
feats.
True. Bender has been with team
that almost always landed we'll to
the front. but for one who after each
season IL doped as sure to go back
this IS very good. And Bender is one
Of the mainstays OF Connie Mack on
the firing line. He has been for some
years. and he win continue

10 the highest pitch, and they always
follow his example.
Players Follow Elbsrfeld.
Another thing that impressed me
was the players ON the Chattanooga
team. They seemed TO be inEtilled
with the spirit Of Elberfsld and did
not lag in going and coming between
innings, which is greatly In contrast
with some Of the teams that l have
seen play here. This may be caused
by the difference I'm temperament. but
81 would be good thing for some
OF these teams to follow the example
OF Elberfeld In this respect. and he
is an old man compared TO some OF
the others. The lords and dukes and
earis, presidents. owners and man
ayers. rules committee, etc. can get
together every week or every night,
II they want 10, and make rules to
shorten the games, hut when you
come down to the finale the players
control the situation
MeGraw a Good Example.
Have you ever seen McGraw come
from tho bench to the coaching lines2
Have you ever seen Fred Clarke walk
from left field 10 the bench? Have
you ever seen Hughey Jennings on
the lines coaching or Frank Chance
pick up bis bat and walk 20 the plate?
They are leaders that lead by their
every action; every move Is that Of an
energetic athlete that does not know
what II r. 10 lag. and by their exam
pies have shown that they are lead
ers and are not 10 be led. To see these
great opponents Of baseball walk
across the field is enough 20 send a
thrill down the spine OF every base
-.
we are in the minor leagues Is no
reason why we should not have that
same spirit. Elberfeld IN his palmy
days was chrtstened the Tabasco Kid
for the amount OF hot stun he dis
played on the field. and as you have
seen him In action with his pep you
can imagine for yourself what he
must have been when he was ia his
prime.
