=, WORK ON BORDER

NEW YORK. March 12.-With the
return to their homes of the $4,000
national guardsmen on the Mexican
border, the Army Young Mems Chris
tian Association will curtail the work
it has been doing, but will continue to
serve the 10000 troops of the regular
army who are to remain on the bound
airy. 1t is announced that since the
Association took up its work with the
guardsmen last July, approximately
$4,000 has been spent.
1t is estimated that the total visits
Of soldiers to the Association buildings
up to the LIST of February was 7,O42,-
702. The letters written in the build
ings, on free stationery furnished by

lures was 94.773. A total of 632, 1865

SOMETHING SAD IN
PASSING OF BENDER
BY H. C. HAMILTON.

NEW YORK, March 12-There is al
ways something touching about the
passing of an old-time baseball player,
one CT the men who grew up with the
game and saw it develop into the sport
of the nation.
1t was so with Chief Bender, just as
it has been true of other ball players,
and there is just shade more of emo
ton in his passing, for it leaves only
one Indian of prominence in the majoc
league.
Strong, healthy, quick, drilled in
outdoor sports by inherited rivalries,
the Indian never has been able to COM
pletely fathom the white mans game
of 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 prom
inent 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 a ball playe'.
Sockalexis will recall glorified athlet-
les to many an old time fan, but he
passed as they all did. Chief Johnson
was a wonderful pitcher and might
still be if he had cared to keep himself
in condition
Bender was purely product of the
Connie Mack school. He was picked
up after making wonderful record
for team at Harrisburg, Pa, and
then after a summer of illness and a
season of no success, he blossomed. It
was his work that did more than any
thing else to drive the Athletics to a
pennant in 1911, and then he came
through with a worlds series victory
practically unaided when Jack Coombs
was stricken down. His work held up
the Mackmen when everything else
was going bad, and his final effort in
the 1915 worlds series was crown
ing 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 eventually-Bender
after spending season with the Fed
erals. He wasn't much of pitcher
but he had used his experience to good
effect and he was considered about
half the strategical board for the
Phillies.

SECRETARY BAKER WELCOMED
ATLANTA ARTILLERY RETURN

ATLANTA, Ga, March PA very
much distressed optician and several
prominent Atlantians spent several
very busy and very anxious hours yes
terday in an effort to return to Secre-
tary of War Baker pair of eye
glasses which he had broken early in
the morning and Jared forth to have
repaired at the first optical store he
came to.
Leaving President Wilson's private
car, on which the nitrate plant board
are travelling, Secretary Baker stopped
at an opticians near the Terminal sta
ton and left his glasses to be fixed.
not telling the optician he was a
cabinet officer, but telling him he
must have the glasses back in few
hours.
Arrived at the Chamber of Com
merce assembly hall, where the hear
ing was held in behalf of the Chatta-
hoochee river as the proper stream on
which to locate the nitrate plant, Sec
rotary Baker was very much handi-
capped by the lack of his glasses, and
number of prominent Atlantians
volunteered their services to hurry
the optician, with the result that a
uhoIa Aook of automobiles were kent
busy running back and forth, and the
glasses were finally delivered to Sec
rotary Baker at the Bull Sluice dam
on the Chattahoochee river, 20 miles
above Atlanta, which the board in
spected in the afternoon, following the
hearing.
Secretary Baker last night welcom-
ed the Atlanta artillery on their re-
turn from the Mexican border.

PHILADELPHIA DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT TO Do WITH NEGROES

PHILADELPHIA, March 12.-More
than $4,000 negroes have settled in
Philadelphia in the last six months
and the city government doesn't know
exactly how to meet the problem OF
congestion in their section of the city.
Small fats are housing as many as
five and six families. The influx is
said to be due to the fact that the
negroes think they will be more cord
tally received here than in other
American cities.
