CHARLES BENDER
MAKES DEBUT IN
PHILLY UNIFORM
Ex-Athletic Hurler One of
Big Attractions at Open
ing Game
OTHER NEW PLAYERS

Charles Albert Bender, C.znr of ali the
Chippewaa and "Teasar" OF all the bats
men, appeared this afternoon at the PHIL
lies baseball park for the FIRST time in
a National League disguise. The crafty
hurler. pioneer of Indian sign" getters
was next to the champions as a whole the
cynosure of fanatic eyes.
Ever since the Chief came here as n
lean, raw recruit from Carlisle, he has
been one of the most popular men on the
diamond both because OF the fact TINT
he was aboriginal and because IL was evil
dent soon after he Joined the Athletics
that he was a great pitcher
Today Bender Is more popular than
ever. He has a number OF followers who
want TO see him regain sufficient form to
take his regular turn for Pat Moran the
same as any man the Phillles have ever
signed.
Fans Have Faith
There are hundreds of Philadelphia
baseball rooters who believe firmly that
Bender will be an extremely valuable
pitcher this season This feeling is
shared by Pat Moran and all the Philly
players. No matter how much the Phil.
lies themselves want to see Bender make
good this year, they are not basing their
belief on hopes by any means. They saw
him work in St Petersburg and It is
the unanimous opinion among them that
Bender is going to At into the machine
perfectly and do his share of the regular
hurting and relief work
After years of "spring dope" reading
fans have begun to take large qualities
of sodium chloride in their attempts to
digest the annual series of stories that
emanate from training camps. Conse-
uuently there are some who think that
Bender Is not and never will be able to
hold his own again on major league
club.
This belief is based on the fact that
Connie Mack released the Chief, along
with Plank and Coombs, shortly after the
fatal worlds series between the Boston
Braves and Athletics in 1914. Then, too,
the fact that Bender is credited with only
four victories while the records show he
was beaten 16 times.
At Baltimore
While that record is not one that might
lead one to believe that Bender did very
good work. still the Baltimore Federals,
for whom the Chief pitched last season,
finished with an average OF only .SO5'
Another reasod that Bender did not do as
we'll as he otherwise would have done was
because he soon realized that the Feds
were not going to carry through their con-
tract with him. This naturally put him
in a bad frame of mind, and no matter
how hard he tried he was not capable OF
producing the results under the circum-
stances.
reared when Moran signed Bender In Feb
ruary. While in the South the Chief had
n disposition to work that he never showed
before, even when he was the main light
on the famous pennant-cornering White
Elephants.
Connie Mack has declared that Bender
will win many games for Pat Moran on

every thinking boy and every thinking
girl return to the good old religion
OF the simpler days of tie world, the
days when the good God was wor-
SHIPPED with a purity of heart which
aanctified the name of religion.
A return to the old time religion, the
speaker averred, would mean that all
men might see the graft in his own
heart before seeing the same in the
heart of his fellow man; that he might
thus see the beam in his own eye be.
fore seeing the mote in the eye of his
brother.
The speaker in concluding his re-
marks urged all to pull together in
the making of life worth while. The
young woman should be willing to help
her young husband build from the
ground up and the young husband and
the young wife should not attempt to-
start where their fathers and mothers
left off, but at the foot Of the ladder.
This would materially aid in bringing
about honesty in commercial, in politi-
cial, in religious and in marital rela-
tions.

ITO the Members of the Democratic

them that this step was an essential
one towards making every man a good
and a desirable citizen. He urged mar
riage upon every young woman and
stated that the young people should
study each other well before taking
the step which should bind them to-
gether for life. Judge Alden declared
that the blind rushing into marriage
OF those OF incompatible tempera-
ments had made the United States a
nation which leads in divorces today
IN this connection the speaker showed
that there was an average Of one di-
vorce fer every thirteen marriages ir
the United States, while in England
the ratio was one divorce to 400 mar
riages. Individual purity of thought,
individual purity of purpose, individual
purity Of action could alone bring
about happy marriage relations, could
alone bring about pure commercial re-
lations, could alone bring about purity
in politics.
The speaker declared that the people
of the present age were gradually
drifting away from religion. He said
that it was not so much skepticism and
atheism that was bringing this about
as it was the spirit of indifference
which was gaining hold upon the gen
eral public, not of the United States
alone, but Of the world at large.
The speaker urged tha1 every think
ing man and every thinking woman.

THE THIRD SEX"

Chicago, Dec. 13--The third
SEX" according to DR.. Bertha
Van Hoosen of Chicago has been
evolved. 1t comes from the femi-
nine half of the race.
"a great many girls are discov-
ering that their natures are not
at all domestic and that they
have no spark of the normal de-
sire to marry and rear children"
said DIR. Van Hoosen today. "The
balance of power which in their
sisters goes into the sex life, in
these girls seems to have been
added instead to their mental
makeup.
"The new individual, who will
be of a neuter gender, will have
more time to cultivate her-or it's
brain than will the woman who
gives up part of her time to child
bearing. She will be less emo
tional. Romance and sex affec-
tion will not influence her"
