Bentley was Dust" as big
league pitcher, though If we recall
properly he pitched a two-hit game
his first time out on a Fourth OF
July morning at Georgia avenue. The
Griffmen carried him around the
country for a couple OF seasons, al
ways as n pitcher. and finally con-
cluded that he was n costly PROPOSE
ton. That's how he happened to go
to Baltimore.
Griffith was quite right in letting
Bentley go. Jack had failed TO make
the grade. He PROBABLY knew it
himself. Certainly he never kicked.
lie probably welcomed the chance to
play regularly, for he liked 10 play,
and 1t was dull work sitting on the
Washington bench.
MADE GOOD OVERSEAS.
Bentley was with tie Baltimore
club when the war came. He went
into khaki at once, training at Camp
Meade. He went overseas with the
,rest of the Yanks and returned a
popular lieutenant Of a machine gun
company. The last time we spoke
with Jack, he was still in uniform.
lilo seemed bigger and more self-pos-
sessed, but in other things he was
the same Jack Bentley of his younger
days with the Griffmen.
How do you like it over in Balti-
more?" we aske dhim."
"All right" was his smiling re-
sponse. "And Dunnie is giving me
more money than I ever got from the
Washington club"
That was when Bentley had begun
to win a flock OF ball games by
clever pitching and by some timely
raps to the barriers. That was before
the 1920 campaign in the Interna-
tional League, which gets us around
TO this subject OF the baseball draft.
Last season Bentley led his league
in effectiveness. He finished second
to his clubmatc, Mergin jacobson, for
highest batting honors. So valuable
was he as hitter that Jack Dunn
played him At first base when not
pitching, thus making sort OF Babe
Ruth out OF this big fellow.

ley first left the old farm in sand.
Spring, Md, he dreamed the dream
common TO all rockies. He dreamed
OF the day when he would be a big

1t, II youngsters all over the land did

Indeed. it's dollars TO plugged nick

already known to be seeking him.
But gone are the hopes of any
young star signed to a Baltimore con-
tract.
Jack Dunn has promised his Ealti-
more fans that he will not sell 4
single star, and there is no draft OPP
erative in the International League.
Under the old system, at least one
Baltimore player would be drawn In
the annual lottery. 1t might be Bent
ley. 1t might be jacobson. 1t might
be Boley. However. it certainly
would be one Oriole who would get
his chance to live out that ever pres
ent dream of the young rookie.
The Baltimore fans may foolishly
think that playing on the pennant-
winning Orioles of 1880 carries with
| it lust as much satisfaction as II
did to be with Iris Speakers world
champion Cleveland Indians, but II
that fan does think so, he is crazy in
the head. That is not the dream.
Jack Bentley may be drawing the
same salary he would as a major
| leaguer-and we're not saying he
| isn't or is--but there is a vast diff
| ference in Bentley's memories back
on the old farm between hitting n
home run that defeated st. Paul and
Watting one on the lip to bring home
the world title.
FANS MAY BE RIGHT.
There are always two sides to O
question. There are two sides to this
Baltimore proposition.
| Baltimore fans are absolutely JUST
fed in demanding that Jack Dunn
keep n strong team together. Those
fans know that for years Dunn sold
his stars to the highest bidders every
! fall Dunn has taken them literally
! that's all, refusing to sell single
| one or even to permit the majors &c
draw one in the annual lottery.
But Baltimore fans, even the SILL
est and most unreasonable, cannot
stand UP and declare in all sincerity
that there is just as much glory IN
u. playing on a winning Baltimore team
in the International league as there
is in being identified with the world
champion Cleveland Indians.
And IL the fans of Baltimore, or
anywhere else, for that matter, are
satisfied With the players who are
satisfied with anything but the best
