BASEBALL ALL THE
Illinois Boxing Bill KilIed-couIOn
Postpones Fight.

GOOD NIGHT!
The Legislature yesterday effectu-
ally put the kibosh on the Carroll
Hilton measure, and several gents
who expected to pick up some easy
money will have to go to work or
staFve.
Seventy-seven votes were neces-
sary to pass the bill. 1t received As,
So Representatives voting in the
negative. The bill may be called up
again for consideration, but though
not technically dead, we'd hate to
be so close to the grave.
During debate the Representatives
compared fotban and boxing, and in
dulged in several pleasantries. But
there never was a chance for the bill
to pass.
If the sport could be properly con-
ducted-that is, without crooked
ness-boxing would not be detri-
ment to any community. But the
majority of the Legislature, remem-
bering some of the scandals Of the
past, were suspicious of the good
faith of the bills hackers. You
can't blame them.
Johnny coulon has postponed his
fight with frankie Burns, billed for
next Monday night in Kenosha, I'M
til the following week. Burns has
not arrived in town, and does not
know of the change in programme.
If he agrees, however, there win be
no further obstacles in the path of
the engagement.
Johnny Griffith of Akron, Ohio,
made a big step forward last night |
when he knocked out Phil Brock,
the Cleveland lightweight, in the /
ninth round at Akron. Griffith had
the better of the fight all the way
and was never in danger.
Willie Richie and Joe Rivers have
agreed on 1874 pounds ringside as the |

One large piece of luck and one bit
of brain work enabled the Cubs to
trim the Giants in driving ten-in-
ming battle yesterday. Both stunts
were staged in the ninth inning.
New York filed the bases with
none out on HUMPHREYS, who had re-
lieVed Cheney, and it looked like the
Giants would add several markers to
their one-run lead. Then Shafer
whitfield. Fletcher busted a line drive
down the first-base line which
plunked into Saier's mitt and the
runner on first was doubled, not
run scoring. If Fletcher's smash
had been two feet to either side of
Safer it would have ben at least
double, and there would have been
no chance for the Cubs to tie the
score, as they did in their half, when
the piece of brain work stuck out.
Runners were on second and third
with none out as the result of two
hits and pass when Roger BFesna-
han was sent in to bat for Safer, who,
hitting from the left side, was weak
against the southpaw delivery Of

CHIEF BENDER
SEEMS ABLE To

Connie MaCk's Wonderful Indian

Years lust Passed.
a LBERT BENDER. who

has been connected with Connie Mack
for a goodly number of years, but he
seems to be another one OF those who
are able to so on forever.
Each spring it 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 hurting the same consistent ball he
did the season before.
Since Bender came to the Athletics.
way back in 1903, he has a winning
percentage Of Gal, which IS very good
for any pitcher This record consti-
tutes l7g victories and an even 100
defeats.
True, Bender has been with a team
that almost always landed we'll 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 mainstays OF Connie Mack on
the firing line. He has been for some
years, and he will continue.
BEFORE coming to the Athletics,
- Chief pitched for the Carlisle In
dian School and later for the Harris
burg \. G. 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

Bender that helped much Then in
1910 and 1911, when Connie Mack
again Chaperoned penuant winners,
Bender was one OF the chief main
stays on the firing line
The best year Bender has enjoyed
since he came to the Athletics was In
1910, when he wound up the season
with % victories and only 8 de-
feats, for a percentage Of S21. This
put him at the top of the American
League hurlers for that season.
A Nd only twice during the ten years
"A he has been connected with the
tlinging corps OF the Athletics did he
fall under the 500 mark The first
came i'm 1904, when he wound up with
476, and IN 1908, when he won eight
and lost nine, for a Al percentage.
What's more, the Chief has pitched
what every hurler in the national
paslime strives hard to acquire, a no
hit. no-run game. This was accom-
plshed on May ~, 1905. with the
Cleveland Maps as his opponents. In
that season also ne was the only hurl-
err on Connie Mack's pay roll TO take
game from the Giants in the World s
Series.
Bender's record since he has been
with the Athletics:
