BY WILL ROGERS.

w YELL, all know is just what
~ I read in the papers, Or
Nv what run into from day to
day. I was sitting in my
dressing room at the The
atre where come in the afternoon to
kinder hide out and get a little public
annoying done, and the back doorman
come in and said, "Mr. Bender to see
you" says Bender, what Bender?
show him in anyway and I will look
him over.
Well, in he comes, and who do you
think it is? Well it amt a soul but
our old Baseball Pitcher for the Phila-
delphia Athletics, "Chief Bender" All
you young folks skip right over this
Article for it may not interest you, but
before you throw it away hand 1t to
your parents and say to them, Pop did
you ever hear of a Ball Player named
Chief Bender? What did he ever do?
Here is this old Man Rogers writing
something about him.
Your Dad will grab the paper and
"You young America! You mean to
tell me you never heard of Chief Ben
der! Do they teach you about Wash
ington, or Lincoln, or Bryan, or Carrie
Nation, at your schools and not teach
you about Chief Bender? My Boy, he
is what made pitching famous. Had
there been no Chief Bender there would
have been no Pitcher in Baseball. They
would have just let the second baseman
throw the ball up to the batter as a
matter Of formality, or Maby let Mayor
Walker pitch, or Calvin or just anybody.
You go and tell your Teacher to learn
something about American history.
Baseball is our National game, the
same as War Is our National heroic
effort and Bootlegging is our National
Industry Shame on our educational
Institutions If they don't teach the chill
/ dren about Chief Bender and all our
other Baseball Heroes"
/ Hello Chief, Gee I am glad to see
| you! haven't seen you since I went out
in Philadelphia and had dinner at your
house maby about 1910"
Hello Will! You being a Cherokee,
I always been sorter keeping track of
you. I guess you seen where Charley
/ Curtis, our Kaw brother, had worked
| finally got set back to Vice President
dident you?"
"Yes I did hear that Chief, and I
certainly felt bad about it, Cause have
known him for years, and can remem-
ber when he was Leader of the Repub-
lican side in the Senate, and when you
was Leader Of that side you dident have
to worry much what the other side
would do. He really had some author
ity and was sorry to see EN- set him
back to nothing but q Toastmaster.
How you been chief?"
"Oh, I been managing Ball teams,
and Coaching Baseball at Annapolis
for the Navy for six years"

TN ask Louise and Mr.. Pawling to
help serve" I said. "That will throw
them together for quite little while"
That's a good idea," said Dulcie.
"And I'll see that Mrs Curley Is kept

Which we did. I got Mr. Pawling
out in the kitchen first and then /

leaving Louise and Mr.. Pawling to walk
along alone together.
One thing that helped our scheme a
lot was the fact that Mr.. Curley prided
herself on Louise's young friends liking
her just as well as they did Louise.
When one of us would ask her to do
something alone, or would tell her
some little secret or something like
that, she would be SO fiattered that. for
the time, being she'd forgot all about
Louise.

RU1LDlNG stone that absorbs sounds
has been found in Florida. The
rock Is somewhat porous. filled with tiny
cavities which soak up sound waves
that come to it when used In walls and
cealings of rooms.
1t has been found that extreme noisi-
ness in a room is caused by the refiec-

and ceilings, The pores of the new
stone prevent this echoing and silence

did you learn EN- how to get the
other teams signals Chief? I remem-
ber when you and Harry Davis used to
coach at first and third for the old AS.
and you knew what kind of ball the
Pitcher would throw before he got out
of bed in the morning. Everytime the
Pitcher wound up you just told the
batter what was going to happen. Why
it was almost like the Literary Digest
calling the turn on an election. You
made some great batters out OF men
that never got a foul after they left
your team. How did you do that Chief"
"Well we just studied en. Pitchers

Denis O'Shea had looked at when he

Just like a Politician. You know your

going to say before he even takes his
first drink, downtown with the recep-

studied Ball Players. They are pretty
near as limited in their business as Pol
iticians. If they used signal ten years
ago they think it is good yet, and they
would have been just as well of II they
had announced to the batter, Here Is
