Phillies Inspire Fear, In spite of the spectacular showing wade Ly the Braves last fall against the Athletics, leading members of both the Tigers and Red Sox figure they “vould rather have a shot at Stallings’ club this fall than to be- come involved witth the Phillies. The answer is simple—the Braves have a good bhall club, but they haven't an Alexander. Rudolph is a fine pitcher, but he hasn't been going as well this season as last, and Ru- cdolph, even at his best, is hardly an- other Alexander the Great. One star pitcher can make a terrific difference in a short series. Ir the Phillies sh-uld finish first, cither Red Sox or Tigers, taking your pick, would have to mect Moran's big sharpshooter in at least three games —maybe four, if the series went to a seven game run—and the American Jeague winner would ‘a good bit rather move against an even stronger club en masse than to buck up against as great a slabman as Alex- ander. £o you can put it down that necither Ked Sox nor Tigers are pulling lustily for the Phillies to finish first. Passing of Bender. The passing of Chief Bender was another one of baseball's tragedi Around this date last season Bender had won seventeen games and lost turee, living in glory with a world series entry. He was still this side c¢f thirty-four, in fine health, and in good shape, with one of the greatest arms and greatest baseball brains of the profession. The game has never known a pitcher who was any cooler uvnder fire. Bender in his day was ranked by many as the greatest ono- game pitcher of all time; that is, the greatest man to tackle one all-impor- tent Pattle with the issue at stake. e and Mathewson were ranked as {he two greatest money pitchers of the game. their best under the final test, yet their temperaments were not alike. Both were possessed with extreme coolness, rare judgment and abiding courage. But where Matty was tense, watehful, alert, Bender carried a care- jess ease that no other slabman ever bad. The most momentous occasion of the season failed to produce any thrill in his unfluttering breast. No one who saw the series will ever for- get the manner he displayed toward the Giants back in 1911, In that first game Matty beat him in the hardest sort of a battle by the mar- gin of 2 to 1. Eut even in that close Both could be figured at | PORT LIGHT Gfént’/dnd Rice fight where he was beaten the Chip- pewa chief finished the game with that careless grin intact. Bender was among the greatest al' around sportsmen of the pastime. He was a great pitcher—cne of the best. He stood as the best golfer among ball players, averaging around 50. He was also a fine shot, ranking with the leaders. More than this, the Chief was a good, clean sportsman, a gcod loser, one who undoubtedly took the pleasure of playing above the pleasure of mere winning. He had a supply of good, quiet humor always with him, and the hardest battle never drove this viewpoint into re- treat. No one looked to see him break so quickly. “I cxpected Bender to have at least three more good ars,” Eddie Colling eaid to the writer, “and can hardly figure out his sudden slip. He was a good pitcher last year, and with many vears ahead, apparently. It must e been that he lost interest in his new league, and when Bender loses interest he finds it hard to drive him- sclf. “But he was certainly a wonder bhack in the old days, which are only a year or two ago. With the Chief right, as he always was when needed, we always counted the game in and over and on the right side. And you and Rusie, but T doubt that either had any more than this same Bender when he w at his Lest. He was not | physically as strong as somec others, hut he had long, tavering fingers and a peculiar whip to his arm that cer- tainly drove that baseball through the air. It came with a hop that was al- mest unhittable. It seems strange to m, such a head and such a fighting dropped out this side of thirty- Yesterday's Results. hington 2, New York 1.
