CHIEF BENDER TO DON
PHIL SUIT THIS YEAR
Former Star Mack Pitcher to
Sign With Moran for
1916 Season

Chief Bender will wear a Philly uni
form this year. The former star twirler
of the Athletics agreed to terms with
Manager Pat Moran, and the deal Will
be ratified today in New York when the
Philly leader and President Baker meet.
The Chief will sign a contract In time
to take the southern training trip with
the Phillies.
Negotiations between Moran and Bender
have been going on for the past TWO
months, but owing to his lawsuit against
the Federal League for salary due MN
while member of the Baltimore Ciuo OF
the defunct organization, the veteran
pitcher was not in a position to talk busi'
ness with Moran. Since the dissolution
of the Feds" the Indian has been declared
a free agent, and at least two clubs in the
National League are known TO have been
angling for his services.
Charles Doom, former manager of the
PhIllles and now a member OF the Giants
had a talk with Bender at the Sporting
Writer'S banquet Thursday night, ana was
10 have arranged a meeting between the
pitcher and President Hampstead, of the
New York Club. Bender informed Doom
that he had a meeting for yesterday, and
would not talk business with him until he
had talked with Moran. Doom said last
night that he considered Bender still a
great pitcher, and expected him to make
good with the Phillles.
Manager Moran met Bender In this city
last December following the annual meet
ing of the National League in New York,
when peace was declared by organized
baseball and the Federal League, At
that time the Indian said he would be
glad to play here. but refused 10 take
terms until he learned what disposition
was to be made of his suit against the
Federals. Moran and Bender met yes
terday afternoon at the Hotel Adelphia.
Business Manager w, j. Shettsline and
the writer were the only other persons
present. Moran had been in cOmmunica-
tion with Bender and had received his
terms, which We're finally agreed upon at
yesterdays meeting, Following the con-
ference Manager Moran left for New
York, and will then go TO his home at

TENNIS TOURNEY
DATES AWARDED
FOR 1916 SEASON
Women's Championship to
Be Played at Merton
Cricket Club
EVENTS FOR YOUNGSTERS

NEW YORK, Feb. ITO the surprise
of many the question OF amateurism was
not even remotely touched upon at the
annual meeting Of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association at the
Waldorf. the chief business OF the dele
gates being centred upon awarding the
national championships for the coming
year.
The national "allcomers' singles. chal-
lenge doubles and interscholastio cham
pionships were awarded to the West Side
Tennis Club. Forest Hills. Tho preliml-
nary sectional doubles we're awarded to
the Onwentsa Club. Chicago, and the
womens championship to the Philadel-
phia Cricket Club. All the national in-
door championships went to the 7th Regi-
ment, New York.
The Eastern doubles were awarded to
the Longwood Club. Boston. and the ma
tonal clay court to the Lakewood Tennis
Club, Of Cleveland. o.
Recommendations of the Executive
Committee were adopted as follows:
That in sectional doubles one member
of pair must be resident of section in
which the contest is held
That the national association offer STAN
dard prizes for sectional doubles.
That no payment of expenses OF player
or team may be made except as repres
sentative of the national association.
1t had been anticipated that the ANA
tour question would be the main issue to
come before the meeting, the case of Nc
Laughlln and Bundy, who have opened a
sporting goods store in Los Angeles, form
ing the basis for agitation With the
championships having been awarded 1t
was time for the question to come before
the meeting. Just then a motion to ad-
journ was made and the session closed.
When the meeting closed George T.
Adee. president of the association, said
that the Executive Committee would con-
slider the question at meeting in this
city on March II and that there would
probably be an announcement at that
time. The Executive Committee held a
meeting this morning and touched upon
the subject but did not arrive at any
concrete proposition that could be pre-
sentcd to the meeting. Mr. Adee said
that when the committee meets here on
March II a new set of amateur rules
would probably be drawn up so that they
! might be submitted to the next annual
| meeting. There may also be an interpre-
| tation rendered on the present code. With
no action taken tonight, however, 1t was
not believed that any pronounced change
would be made this year.

PENN TRACK ATHLETES
WILL COMPETE TODAY
Relay Race to Feature First
Closed Indoor Meet of Squad I
on Franklin Field

Old Penns track athletes will be seen in
action on their own stamping ground at
Franklin Field this afternoon, when the
entire Red and Blue cinderpath squad
will take part in an interdepartment
track meet under the south stand of
Franklin Field.
The meet this afternoon is the first
affair of this kind that has ever been held
at the Quaker City institution, and the
interest the men have taken in train
ing for the contests speaks well for the
probable success of the meet.
Coach George Orton of the University
track team has instituted the contests in
order that he may be able to Judge the
ability of the men he will send to the
indoor intercollegiate meet at Madison
Square Garden on March 4. There will
be more than 100 Red and Blue track
stars performing this afternoon. and in
all probability some new records will be
hung up for the Penn indoor track.
The contests will begin at o'clock this
afternoon, and every event Of the track
program viii be run, from the 75-yard
dash to the Emile run. The event which
has created the most interest is the in
terclass relay race. in which the various
classes at the Quaker institution win bat
tie for supremacy in 1-mile relay race.
The senior team looks to be the best,
but the sophomore runners will be up In
front when the final lap is run. With
the Inauguration of these indoor games
there is a possibility that they will be run
off every year.
