PHILADELPHIA. Sept. = There
is one Indian who can play ball, but
doesn't care to. even with the added
lure of. a chance to cut into the
worlds series money. He Is Barry

Chief Bender, but of tiny band
north Of Lake Superior.
Word came down that he was
pitching startling ball and an invi-
tHtion to come out OF the woods was
extended by the Athletics Bokis
sent back word that he'd like to. but
couldn't afford to, even for a chunk
OF the worlds series coin and a big
salary
Derisive laughter from the pale
faces. Young Mr.. Bokis then sent the
magnates the annual financial state
ment of the Canadian Indian Bureau
and their eyes popped out.
The Bokis band, of which the pitch
er's pa was chief for many years,
numbers only 90 people, but receives
over $500, 900 every year for timber,
and every man. woman and child of
the tribe could sign a checker make

young Mr.. Bokis to act as a general
manager of the fund, and he can't
very well play professional ball.

McGraw and Mack Are Hopeful

them to cary the Athletics through
to another worlds championship"
Analysing the foregoing, it is found
that Mack makes the reservation that
If Plank and Bender are in their top
form, his team has a good chance of
victory. But should these veterans
fail him-or should even one of them
be unable to come up to the mark
Mack will be forced to call upon his
youngsters and jeopardize his clubs
chances.
McGraw is almost jubilant over the
opportunity of another clash with the
Athletics. He desires to atone for the
tgnominity of the conflict of 1911.

routed his fiedgling Giants.
Il always refrain from trying to be

Is the first time l feel justified in pre-
dieting the big gonfalon for the

that of any team in the country. and
II Is the box-work that counts in
the worlds series.
Here l have Mathewson. Mar

to pot big game. And the Athletics

earnestly believe Matty will repeat
his success of 1905. when he shut out
the Athletics in three games. Mar

MeGraw to Give dpemaree Chance.
81 will give Derharee a chance to
work in one of the games. He is still
a youngster in big league service, but
he is veteran in knowledge of how
the game should be played in the
majors. He is the most promising
pitcher I have ever seen break into
the big circuits
Il am well fortified in the other de-
partments, though not as strongly as
in the box My infield has stood up
well In two worlds series and the
outfield is strengthened by the pres
ence of George Burns.

So 1t can be seen that veteran

Bender and Plank in the 1905 series
and. according to McGraw, Big SIX

recrudescence Of Connie

THE recrudescence OF Connie
Mack's veteran Athletic pitch
ers and the continually improv-
ing form of Christy Mathewson in his
thirteenth year of big league service
give the impression that the forth
coming worlds series will be a renew
al of the classic OF 1905.
The managers of the Giants and
Athletics have virtually admitted as
much. Connie Mack. tactical and
taciturn, and John McGraw, stra-
tegic and silent, heretofore have de-
clared themselves in few words which
for them is verbosity.
Mack and McGraw submitted to in

talked of his teams chances in the
October event. 1t is not the custom
with these shrewd leaders to Tip
off their hands, but each is 80 GER

the other.
Mack is not so optimistic of ulti-
mate victory as he was when his team
opposed the Giants two years ago.
