Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. Sit begins
to appear that Chief Bender, the Ath-
ietics' Indian twirler, will bring a bril-
liant season 10 a close with more Won
derful work in the worlds series. The
Chief has had a splendid year with
the champs and seems determined to
close IL with his name at the head of
the pitching list. If he performs as
expected of him in the big encounter
with the Braves he will end the 1914
season with many gardenias and much
honor.
Connie Mack has little cause for
fretting over the quality of his pitch
ing staff. He is well provided with
twirling talent and could perhaps use
different pitcher every game If he
wished. But the Athletic leader knows
that in Chief Bender alone he has al
most enough TO win a worlds cham
pionship. He can rely on Bender for
at least two games and possibly three.
Bender is the iron man OF the
Athletic pitching corps and one of
that rare type of twirlers who show
better stuff the harder they are work

lon gago the Boston adherents exulted
and declared that Connie Mack had no
one such as this. Which however, is
hardly the case. Chief Bender can
do as we'll and then some.
IL may be remembered that in the
series with the Giants in 1911 the
Athletics won three out of the first
four games and were then alarmed to
see the Giants take the fifth. Plank
and Coombs had been routed in the
fifth game and Bender had worked the
day before. Everyone thought that
this was the Giants chance as Connie
would have no one TO send against
them. He would be Obliged to use a
rookie
But Connie Mack knew what he had
and one and all were surprised to see
Bender walk out to the box and pitch
in his best manner. The Athletics
won with ease.
If anything in the nature of a pinch
develops in the big series approaching
Connie Mack knows where he can
turn. Bender, the iron man, will al
ways be at hand.

against Charles Z. Jeff) Tesreau, star
of the Giants pitching staff. Jeff
has filed a $4,000 bond in the supreme
court guaranteeing his appearance
when the case is tried.
That "Jen'' kept his pitching arm

Young as the "huggee," is the charge
of the young woman. She alleges fur

up for life, and that she assented.

warmed by the heat from the glowing
hard coal burner. His love, unlike the
snow, did not melt away when the

revenge from the man who had shat

against the Giant pitcher. She has 4

she will produce when the suit is
