CHARLIE BENNETT TELLS
OF FIRST CATCHER'S pad"

Charlie Bennett, the noted catcher
of the famous Detroit team of 1886
1887, delights in telling the story Of
how he and his wife made the first
catcher's breast protector. 1t was a
constant source of worry to Mrs. Ben
nett to watch her husband being made
a target for the speed merchants. of
80 years ago. And she fully realized
the spressing necessity of some kind
of armor to prevent the hot shot sent
through by these speed slabmen from
caying in a rib Or two which belonged
to her better half.
After much deep thinking and consid-
cradle labor the BENEFITS shaped out
something that had faint resem-
blance to the protector worn today.
In a private trial it worked fine,
and in the try-out Charlie would let
the ball slip through his hands and
bang up against his chest without ex-
periencing the slightest jar. After
Bennett got used to it he wore it in
a regular contest, and, with the eyes
of thousands of spectators upon him,
he would let fast one hit him square
on the chest. The ball would rebound
back almost to the pitcher.

PHILADELPHIA
and new YORK
Want BIG game
[By Latest NALL

NEW YORK.-A hot fight is on at
present between New York and Phila-
delphia to secure the Army-NaYy
football game for next fall. Since it
was announced that Washington, D..
C., which had been agreed upon by
the two United States schools as the
1914 meeting place. has found that it
will be Impossible to stage the game
Gotham and the Quaker City have
been making strenuous efforts to be
chosen for the honor.
It will probably be some time yet
before a decision is reached. What
this will be is hard to say. The au-
thorities at West Point and Annapolis
are apparently Just as much at sea
over the place for holding the game
as the average football follower. 1t
has been intimated that the selection
will be left to Secretary of War CARR
son and Secretary of the Navy Dam
iels.
West Point men make no secret of
the fact that they would prefer to have
New York selected for the game this
year. In fact, many army men go so
far as to advocate the selection Of
New York as the permanent place for
holding the. game, That the navy
holds different view Of the matter is
shown by the plans made to stage
the 1914 game in Washington.
For long time it was thought that
the game would be played on the big
polo field in Washington. Then an
unexpected hitch arose and last week
it was officially announced that the
game would have to. be played else
where. New York and Philadelphia
immediately got the wires working
to obtain the game. The polo grounds.
the home of the New York Giants. and
Shibe park, the home of the Athletics,
we're offered. Philadelphia also has
another gridiron to offer-Franklin
Field. the athletic plant Of the Uni
versitv of Pennsylvania It was on
this field that so many Army Navy
games Of other years have been play
ed.
New York had its first opportunity
to entertain the Army and Navy at
the gridiron classic last year. That
New York appreciated the opportlI-
nifty was shown by the enormous
crowd which jammed the Polo grounds
to witness the contest Even persons
who opposed the holding of the game
here admitted that the crowd was
well handled and that New York had
been good selection.
Some followers Of the gridiron sport
fear that the Army and Navy will be
unable to reach an amicable agree
ment over the place for the game this
year and that as result the contest
may be called of. This view. how
aver, is not held by many familiar
with the conditions These persons
believe that IL there is any hitch in
the negotiations the matter will be
smoothed out by Secretaries Garrison
and Daniels

WAR SHOULD KEEP U. S.
ATHLETES TO THE FORE

While European athletes are fight
ing in the armies of the warning coun-
tries, American track and field men
are continuing their training. It will
probably be some years before the
Continental countries regain anything
like athletic form, but the United
States promises TO go calmly along
annexing honors on the cinder path
and in the field. The war, II is
thought by many athletic experts. will
go far toward cinehing Americas SUI
premacy on track and field
In France, Germany, Russia. Aus
tria and Belgium practically every ath-
lete of note has already taken up
arms, In these countries they have
no choice in the matter. CONSUMPTION
policies settle ali that for them. But
there is in every great athlete an In,
nate craving for adventure and desire
for the Joy of overcoming others IN
struggle. and this alone would. under
other circumstances. account for the
presence of large majority OF them
at the post of danger.
In England and In the British Do
minions beyond the seas there Is no
CONSUMPTION, but Canadian athletes
are going to the front in large num-
bers, actuated, like others, largely by
patriotic feelings and also by the I'M
quenchable desire for adventure.

18th Will PLAY
VENICE IN THIS
CITYDEC. 2gTH

The schedule for the Venice team
on its Hawaiian trip has been definite
ly announced by II. G. Lowrey, who
is managing the tour. and It is assured
that there will be enough games TO
give thief ans some real baseball. Also
1t will give an opportunity to compare
the work Of the Coast Lcaguers with
that of the locals.
One desirable feature of the sche-
dule Is that the 18th Infantry team
gets a Sunday game in Honolulu. The
Oahu League would play to empty
stands If II wasn't for the soldiers.
and the army teams deserve all the
consideration that can be given them
Besides, the fans like to see new faces
occasionally, and its pretty safe
bet that the 18th plays as good, If not
better ball than the local aggregations.

II believe it was the first game of

there we're three men on bases and no
one out had been called into a
breach of this kind so many times
that ! had lost all count. It is In a
crisis such as this that the pitcher
needs to have supreme command OF
himself. He needs to be master of all
there is in him, for the Slightest break,
the smallest slip of infielder or catch
er will spill the game. In such a
pinch the strike-out is the only sure
way, for even an easy infield out may
be juggled a tenth of a second too
long. An out-field fly. is pretty sure
to be fatal had faced this situation

nav Iafest Maill

SEATTLE, Wash.-A plan is on foot
it became known recently to curtail
the Northwestern league season two
weeks, closing the season September
18th instead of September 9th. The
change, it is said, is largely the result
of falling on in attendance in Van
CONVEX and Victoria, due to diminution
in interest in baseball in Canadian
cities, following the outbreak of the
European war. League officials will
not discuss the proposed change, but
it is expected that definite announce
ment will be made as soon as approval
of the curtailment plan has been re-
ceiyed from Secretary Farrell Of the
National Association.

was because had worked too hard
