'I(SON TO HEAR FROM
chief" BENDER TODAY
terday for Final Conference With
Moran Before Signing.

Although he has not definitely an
bounced himself, indications IN that
-hief Albert Bender. famed star of
he Worlds champion athletics. will
sign a contract to manage the Rich
nond club of the Virginia League
Bender was in Richmond yesterday
'er a conference with President Ben
Wilson. Of the local club, and an
bounced that the term. were satisfac-
DRY, hut that he would have a final
talk with Pat Moran before afhxtng
lis John Henry to the contract.
President Wilson is. naturally anx-
Gu to sign the big hurler. both from
. standpoint Of ability and as a draw
ng card. Baseball has produced few
uminaries of greater brilliance than
he Chippewa Chieftain and the In
iian enjoys almost universal popu-
'nrity. being an all-round sport as
aell as n OF the greatest hurlers the
.ane has ever known. Bender Is n
of the best amateur pigeon-smashers
in the country and is touted as q
AIMED slayer OF birds as we'll.
The presence Of Bender in the Colt
lineup at this time would be OF
-reater help than the signing OF pos
sihly any other available player-man-
sger In the country. The redskin has
been in the game n flock OF summers
held and back again. He has always
been a consistent hitter md plays
we'll in the outfeld.
Also, unless he has cracked con-
siderably since his last appearance in
the big show. Bender should prove q
stumbling block to Virginia League
youngsters who are bent on ~fattening
their batting averages. After being
offcially counted out years ago. Chief
Albert scored = great comeback in
1917, pitching several scoreless games
tor the Philadelphia Nationals.
II Bender has not skidded greatly in
he past couple OF years. he should
be able to take his regular turn in
the o win his share of games for
Colts.

The first game was one Of the most
closely contested and exciting played
on the local field this season The
Coolers took the lead by scoring the
first run in the fourth frame. The
visitors tied things up IN the sixth
and forged ahead one run In the
eighth.

The second game was 4 one-Mded
a double by Mcconnell OF the hrst

the contest Morgan lasted n and
two-third innings in which he al
lowed six hits and four runs: a handi-

general secretary OF the National War

an official trip TO Atlanta recently,
made a plain and impressive statement
OF the situation.
The association will not be able to

the permanent work OF the association
among sailors and soldiers, carried on
during the normal times. will be con-
and vastly enlarged in its scope
after the rush Of wartime is over. But
We are deyoting every energy to the
work IN hand. and 1t is enough of a
Job to keep us busy TO the limit
Mr., Tichenor was asked about the
criticism Of the Y. NJ. c. A. work over
he criticism is dying out fast" he
replied. Overseas, the Y. NJ. G, A,
had a big job TO attend to. and 1t had
the choice OF doing II in a big way, and
taking the chance Of being criticized,
or Of playing safe It did not PLAY
safe-it went to the job in as big a
way Gs possible.
1T would have been possible to avoid
criticism by playing safe and looking
after our reputation, We do not deny
that we made mistakes. Everybody
who does big things makes mistakes. II
should be remembered that the Y. NJ,
G, A. was called on to send between
1000 and 5000 men overseas; that II put
900 men in the camps of the United
states n that II recruited-on a rush

In q way. the criticism was a COM

cases the soldiers criticism is really a
testimonial, When he tells all of his
story of the Y. NJ. c. A. the good far
outweighs the bad. We are going 10
