Of Chief Bender to stage a

doesn't it? Most of us thought
the former great Indian twirl-
er of the Mackmen was laid
away on the shelf.
But the observers in the Philly
camp say the Indian is about
to stage a come back that will
startle folks on the Big Time.
Instead Of being gloomy and
morose, as in years past, Ben
der this spring is as cheerful
and clipper as a chipmunk. He
is full Of eager zest, glutton
for toll, and as companionable
as they make 'em.

Tho Shifts or Fortune.

The National league ruled the Gamo in a world series way from 1905 to 1910. Tn those five seasons the older circuit baggcd four victories to one. and tho idea soon wandered abroad that the Johnson circuit was badly outclassed. Of the twenty-seven games played in that epoch the Ma tional league array landed eighteen victories against nine, a to margin.
 And then the tide shifted the other way From 1910 through 1915 the American league won five of tho six series, suffering but ono unexpected jolt. Of the thirty-two games played the American league won twenty and lest hut twelve.
 This American league uprising has hecn due to two clubs-the Mackmon and the Red SoX. They have won five series. with but one defeat.
 The Athletics were held to be in vincible until the big smearc came in 1914 wreclIing and dismanting one of the greatest ball clubs ever known

Pretty Well to Past Form.

Mo- a world sories runs pretty well tr form. But most of us forget all details connected With the obvious taking place. recalling only the vivid ness of upscts.
 Here is another error Tho idea seems to be prevalent that every world series has been decided or turned upside down by some outsider in the dope Very little to It. George Rohe and Babe Adams and Hank Gowdy arc glittering examples, but most of the world series heroes have been stars who operated truo to form --such as Bill Dineen In 1903. Christv Mathcwson and Mike Donlin in 1905, Brown. Overall, Chance and Schulte in 1907 and 1908, Joe Wood and Iris Speaker and Buck Herzog in 1912, Dick Rudolph and Bill James and Johnny Evers In 1914, as well as Gowdy,- with Lewis Shore, Foster and Leonard a year ago-all of whom were recognized zstars.
New Britain herald., 1916-10-02
UpSets and Such.

You hear considerable gossip about world series upsets, but they have been far apart.
 In fact. there were only three of any note within twelve years. The first came when the White Sox in 1906 beat the great Cub machine four games out of six.
 The next came when the young Mackian machine beat the Cubs four games out of five.
 The third arrived when the inspired and frenzied Braves beat the Mack men four straight in 1914.
 Tn all other years tho early favor ties have predominated. It was gen. orally conceded the Cubs were far be- yond the Tigers In 1907 and 1908. It was also conceded, in the main, that the Mackmen outclassed the Giants in 1911 and 1913.
 Few last year figured the Phillies with anything resembling a chance against the Red SoX pitching staff and a Boston attack headed by Iris Speaker and Duffy Lewis. We made but one slight wager on that series, and 1t was even money that Philadel- phia would not win two games. You could underwrite Alexander for one and then you were through for the season.

PIONEERS WIN FIRST
Pirates Hold Lead Until Seventh When Pioneers Forge Ahead By Heavy Hitting.

The Pioneers won the first game of the series for the city championship yesterday when they defeated the Pirates by the score of 9 to 8. Up to the seventh inning it looked like a sure victory for the Pirates as tho North End boys were playing a win- ming brand of ball. In the seventh frame after two were down Goeb was passed and then in order came his by Noonan, Blinn and Lynch that sent in three runs Again in the eighth Blinn doubled and after IT. TOTS by the intield it was found tat five runs had crossed the plite. Hinchliffe relieved Schmitt in his round and shut the Pioneers in the last inning. The fast fielding of Crowley for the Pirates was one of the features of the game as wa the hitting of Blinn and Lynch fo' the Pioneers. The score:

The Even Count.

So far as series go, the young league is out is front as it has landed seven pionships, against five.
 But so far as games go nothing could be closer For the two circuits have played seventy world series games since 1903. Of this number the American league has won thirty-four, the National league has won thirty four, and there have been two ties.
 If this isn't a nip-and tuck count over a twelve-year war the proper answer would be very much appre- ciated around these precincts.
