CHIEF BENDER NOT
 OIJITE THROUGH YET

QUITE IHROUGH Fl It might not be bad stunt for big league managers who are looking around for good twirlers, to focus their optics up New England way upon an aborigine
 whose name is Bender
 Years and still more years ago Bender yes, the very same Chief Bender--was a satellite with the Athletics For many roons he ranked as one of the greatest pitchers in the game. It was his mighty right arm. plus his agile brain, thai brought one victory after another to the tribe of Connie Mack and assisted in lifting the club to the absolute heights of baseball
 Bender broke into big league baseball back in 1903, when h- was 20 years old. He pitched for a 5Sl mark in his in-
 augural year. slipped back to .496 in 1sQs and then began era of superpitch- ing that has written his name indellbly in baseball history.
 TURNED BENDER ALOOSE Tn 1914 when Connie Mack decided tc wreck his peerless baseball machine
 Bender was one of the men uncondition- ally released. And that, mind you, was rr face of the fact that Bender had wot 1 17 out of 20 games that year, pitching for the phenomenal average of .S0. It Was the highest mark that the Indian ever turned in and one of the most remark able in diamond annals.
 Just about that time the Federal league came to life. began looking around for talent-and eagerly sought Bender He hooked onto the Baltimore Feds payroll but wasn't much of a suc- cess with that team. In the followins year, when the Feds "blew up" Bender got a job with the Pllillies, figures iii 14 games and broke even.
 Just about that time the critics began to sing his swan song. The big league managers thought likewise. Bender was chased along to the bushers and more or l less forgotten as far as the big leagues were concerned.
 BENDER STILL IN IT But in perusing the 1920 records for the New Haven club, one finds Bender pos sessing most of the flinging records He was the practical leader of the league with 25 victories in 37 games He worked | in 3A innings during tho year-certainly an ..iron man" performance for & man who Is now nearing his 38th birthday Bender allowed 256 hits in S7 games an average of per performance. The opposition rnaced him for only 104 runs but the earned run average of Renders enemies was 194 The Chief struck out 262 batsmen, which averages 7s per game, yielded less than two passes per combat and made only two wild pitches in 324 innings Bender established many festive marks while he was performing l in the big leagues-but what achieve ment stands out more brilliantly thar l his 1920 work with the New Haven club at the graying and grizzling age of 3s?

HIGH ADMISSION PRICES LIMITED
 BY COMMISSION
Big League Scouts Might Do. Well to Look Bender Over
 Once More
Fly JAMES J. coRBEryr

No action of the New York state box ing commission is more commendaole than that which limited admission prices for various Gstic bouts.
 When the commission. announced s13 as the maximum price for nonchampionshp clashes and S15 the limit for champion ship. and charity contests, it called a halt to practice which ultimately might have ruined the fight game
 Ever since boxing came back to New York, the purse payments to fighters have been beyond all proportion. The performers have received sums of money infinitely greater than their services were worth The more they got. the more they demanded. Warriors who once were glad to fight for $500, $500. or $1,5OO, scoffed at less than 5000
 THE CLIMAX
 The climax came when Lew Tendler of Philadelphia demanded reported s5o.- | GOO for meeting Benny. Leonard. Other men asked for sums ranging upward from Slo,ooo Go Johnny Dundee reporte. demand for S9o00o,
 And those were the same fellows who fought for s1oo9 purses earlier-and thought they were getting soft money. . But just as soon they learned that promoters in New York state were lib- eral, they took advantage of it. They began gouging. They wanted more-and still more.
 nd fba baI
 Whenever . promoter paid huge purses to fighters, he naturally had to boost the admission figures so that he would not lose money on the show Seat prices jumped higher and still higher, Boxing almost reached a point where it was q rich mans sport for admission prices mounted to place where they were be- yond the average worltman's reach.
 KILLS BIG BOUT
 Naturally the commissions ruling has killed entirely the chance of the Demp- sey-Carpentier bout being staged in New York It perhaps will cause the Remp- sey-Willard match to be moved else where as it's hardly probable that Tex Rickard can put on the latter show and break even with s15 as the maximum ticket price.
 Madison Square Garden can crowd in t50O0. With prices ranging from $2 up to s15 it means an average price of around s7. With the house packed to see Willard in a return match with his conaueror the gate would go just lit- tie beyond si0o,0oo. And that wouldn't be enough to pay expenses, as the purse guarantees probably will go over Sl0e,ooh
 The boxing commission, at the time Of it's creation, tool. the stand that it meant to protect the fight game in New York state It has made good on that prom ise many times, but never in more inl- pressive style than when it established the maximum ticket price. For 1t means that hereafter the promoters will not be gouged by the fighters and the pro rn,nters in turn will not gouge the public.
