for long while no enthusiasm could
be aroused This condition changed,
however, when the real significance
was brought home to the Britons.
Quite different has been the atti-
tudc OF the athletes of this country.
At special meeting called by Capt.
Huston, of the New York Amcri-
can League baseball team. the fol-
lowing preamble was adopted:
Whereas. lack Of military prrparc,inezs now con
fronts our nation. the american BCaglc feels It
appropriate that baseball should do its part in a
movement o"kinG toward the countrys protection
and to demonstrate the fact that our national game
is genuine national inrituticn:
Whereas To set an example by which the Nourh u
our land may /" imrrsScd with the nerd If TI,ti-
cal preparedness ard cf military training:
Whereas. these MAJOR league players are looked
uT"n heroes by the boys and Young men Of
America. and their dlIFarance upon a field trained
in military tactics We bch,ye. would arousr in the
hearts Of our boys ambition to emulate their
example in doing something for the country;
The league comes, therefore, to the
following conclusions: (D that the
ball players be given an opportunity
to become civilian soldiers; (2) that
in each spring training camp one
hour be devoted to military instruc-
ton and that the travel from hotel
to grounds be executed in military
formation; (3) that military drill be
continued during the season at morn
ing practice; and (4D that immedi-
atcly following the world series a
military training camp Of the P1atts-
burg type he established.

been so insistent that President Wilson
should act with a hand OF IRON in the
foreign war situation. yet who, now that
the President has gone before them and
asked for authorization to act haggle and
procrastinate about granting It.
They have INDUCED In sharp, even bit
ter and uncalled-for criticism OF the Pres
ldent. both in the Senate and in the
House, because he has not before taken
precisely the step he has just taken.
Now that he has asked authorization TO
do exactly what his Congressional critics
have attacked him for not doing. II would
be far more patriotic for Congress to give
him the support that he asks for-as
Democrats and Republicans in Congress
gave to Mckinley in the Spanish-Ameri-
can crisis-than for a minority to quibble
over details and thus undo the good ef-
feet Of what the President Is trying to do.
President Wilson Is amply capable of
dealing with conditions as they might
arise, and the country would feel easier
and more secure with the President in
entire command at this crisis.
So by all means let it give the President
what he asks and-go home!

NEW YORK, March 1O.-There is al
ways something touching about the
passing OF an old-time baseball plav-
er' one Of the men who grew IN with
the game. and saw it develop into the
sport of the nation.
II is so with Chief Bender inst as
II has been true of other ballplavers
ana there is just a shade more of emo
ton in his passing. for it leaves only
one Indian Of prominence in the major
league.
Strong healthy, quick, drilled in
outdoor sports by inherited riyalries.
the Indian never has been able TO COM
pletely fathom the white mans game
or baseball. Many hundreds of the
copper-skinned men have been called,
but very few of them have reached the
pinnacle of perfection In the majors.
Bender was one OF the most promi-
nent members of his race who ever
played baseball, and Chief Meyers is
another. Jim Thorpe, wonder though
he is at other sports, is nothing more
than fairly good as ballplayer.
Sockalexis will recall glorlfied ath-
!
passed as they all did. Chief johnson
was a wonderful pitcher. and might
still be, if he had cared to keep him
self in condition.
Bender was purely product of the
Connie Mack school. He was picked
up after making a wonderful record
for team at Harrisburg. Pa, and
then after a summer OF illness and a
season of no success. he blossomed.
1t was his work that did more than
anything else to drive the Athletics to
pennant in 1911. and then he came
through with a worlds series vic
tory practically unaieed when Jack
Coombs was stricken down. His work
held up the Mackmen when everything
else was going bad, and his final ef-
fort in the 1915 worlds series was a
GROWING attempt to pull his team
from defeat.
Connie Mack dropped him at the
same time he did Jack Coombs, and
both the master hurlers passed into
the National League evenually-Ben-
der after spending a season with the
