tory Saturday, defeating Rosewood
A. C.; score, 6 to 6. The Allison Hill
stars had a nine-inning rally and
came nearly tlelng up the score.
Landis was knocked out of the
box. Waltz was more effective. The
game was marred by attempts at
rowdyism.
G. Killinger, of the Rosewood
team, was accused of trying to spike
Smith, the West End first baseman,
in a putout play. Smith was knocked
down and given one hard punch.
He made the play, shutting oft a run
and preventing the game from be
ing tied up. An officer prevented
further trouble and the game was
finished. The score:

MONDAY EVENING, - ■ HAimiSBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 27, 1917.
Copyright, 1917, Th Tribune Association (New York Tribune).
CHARLES ALBERT BENDER
Long may you wave,
Old Scout;
* One with the brave,
Old Scout,
Calling- each bluff.
Popping that fast one
Through.
Down to the last one
Through,
There with the stuff.
The tenacity of the red man has been the subject of song and story for
a good many drifting years.
From Uncas on to Ueronlmo the Indian has always been featured as
a tireless cuss, and the dope thereof was undoubtedly true.
In this respect Charles Albert Bender, the Chippewa Chief, Is a notable
illustration for later copy.
The eminent Chief is not so old as years go along the calendaric high
way.
He was born thirty-four years ago last May. But he was popping that
fast one through for Connie Bhck back in 1903, a matter of fourteen sea
sons back. And now, after having been counted out of the lists, relegated
to the records of the Main Corral, he is back again, with the old repertoire
intact, romping along at his fastest speed.
BENDER A WONDER
The Chief is undoubtedly one of the game's wonders. He was sup
posed to have passed the crest and started down hill back in 1914, wlhen
the Braves drove him In rout from the world series Held.
The year after he wcnt_over to the Feds, where ho met with continued
disaster. The old stuff looked to be gone forever. Last season he was
! recalled to tho major circuit, but was too far below his old form to be of
any great help.
This last winter we ran across the Chief down at Pln.ehurst, where he
was starring in a trap shooting tournament—and waiting to hear that he
had been sent to the minors.
The Phillies let him go, but finally recalled him, mainly to help tutor
young pitchers.
Few expected to see his name again among the winners. His best day
had been too far back.
But the call of the wild was too strong and tho lure of the warpath wan
too keen to be resisted. By hard work ho got back into pitching condition,
an.d then, with the blanket lifted, he reported for duty. The answer is
twenty-seven runless innings—three shut-outs in a row—and his last start
this last week was a one-hit game.
If this isn't coming back with bells on and flags flying the phrase has
no meaning.
BENDER'S WAY
Bender has always ranked, an.d always will rank, with the smartest
pitchers of the game. He had something more than a fast ball with a
zip to it and a baffling curve.
He had in addition a keen brain that overlooked no details and a cool
ness and a craft never surpassed.
Bender was cooler and calmer and more stoical upon a big occasion
lhan any pitcher we have ever seen.
In more than one close world series game we have seen him working
with as much carelessness, apparently, as if it were an exhibition affair
where the score wks 14 to 1 in his favor.
Nothing bothered him or upset him. He had no goat to be obtained.
While his repartee was never vicious T>r profane, he had the knack of
collecting various goats from enemy tribes, and he collected these in flocks.
AN INSTITUTION
The Chief has been an institution for the better part of a dozen years.
He was supposed to bo at his height twelve years ago, when he shut out
the Gaints with four hits in the only world series victory Mack's team
collected.
But he was back again with two more victories in. 1911, despite the
fact that Matty beat him 2 to 1 in the first encounter.
Bender has been one of the best all-around athletes in baseball. In
addition to being a great pitcher, he could hit when the mood was on him
and a blow was needed.
He ranks well up among tho leading trap .shooters of the country, plays
a first class game of golf and is a billiard player of no light caliber.
THE LAWN TENNIS TOURNAMENT
The spirit of lawn tennis In these warring days has reached heights
below that of no other Bport.
It was something at tho start to have nine of the first ten ranking play
ers answer the call for service.
And the big success Which the association, has made out of the patriotic
tournament against rugged handicaps is another section of laurel for the
sport.
With no championship at stake, the Lawn Tennis Association not only
kep the game going, but added valuable contributions to war funds.
Beyon.d this the association and leading players proved that even with
a big list called to the colors, it was possible to keep the game going on
ahead, a contribution that is bound to have a fine effect.
Just as the battle isn't to the strong, so the ball game isn't to the base
hit. The Tigers and Reds continue to lead their respective leagues at bat,
but the percentage column is made up of victories, and not of runs and
hits. The lusty swat still has its place in the records, but there are other
minor details.
NEWPORT ENDS SEASON WITH
NEW RECORD FOR VICTORIES;
DAUPHIN FORFEITS GAME
New records were hung up in the
final days of the 1917 Dauphin-
Perry League season on Saturday.
Newport won from Millersburg at
Mlllersburg by a 4 to 2 score; Dun
cannon conquered Halifax on their
home grounds by a 5 to 4 score, and
Dauphin forfeited to Marysville by
a 9-0 score at Marysville.
Newport's victory gives the team a
record of seventeen scalps in twenty
tries, a mark that the other teams
can shoot at for years to come. The
best previous recbrd was made last
season when Marysville took fifteen
out of twenty. The team had had a
record of fifteen and three, but play
ed youngsters in the nineteenth game
and did, pot put a team in the field
for the twentieth. Millersburg's de
feat likewise sets a new record for
defeats with seventeen defeates out
of twenty starts. Mallfax lost six
teen games in 1915, the first year of
the league's existence.
Bicvcr's New Record
Harry Biever established a new
rtecord on Saturday when he pitched
for Halifax against Duncannon, even
though he did lose. He has now
twirled every inning of the il7 lea
gue series for his team.
Dauphin went to Marysville on
Races at Poughkeepsie;
Stakes For Grand Circuit
Philadelphia, Aug. 27.—8y crowding
c'even races into three days, the man
agement of this week's Grand Circuit
meeting at Poughkeepsie has ar
ranged one of the best programs of
the season. With one more race the
number would have been up to that
of the average four-day meeting, but
the pacing races recently opened hav
ing to fill, It was decided to
double up" the others and limit .tho
sport to Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. The purses aggregate $21.-
000, and of this amount SIO,OOO will be
distributed on Wednesday, when the
$5,000 race for trotters of the 2.07
class Is to be decided, along with
three other heat races.
The feature of Tuesday's card Is
the purso of $3,000 for 2.11 trotters,
the entries Including Busy's Lassie,
2.04%, and Ima Ja, 2.05%, the two fast
mares that figured as heat winners In
the sensational five-round contest at
Cleveland a fortnight ago, together
with Peter Chenault. Bacelll, Tommy
Todd and other good ones, In the
2.18 pace on the name day are . ICd
Geers' Allle Ashbrook, W, Murphy's
Hlghcllffe, Harry A. Brusie's Jess Y
Saturday with but eight men, expect
ing to meet Manager-Captain Ducky
Rhoads, Third Baseman Sheffer, and
Center Fielder Hoover. This trie of
players did not report. They did
'venture the proposition that they
would play If the Marysville man
agement gave them the guarantee to
cover their traveling expenses as pro
vided by the league rules. At first
Marysville but later offered
to comply. However, the players had
in the meantime changed their minds
and boarded the train for home. Um
pire Deckard forfeited the game to
Marysville by a 9-0 score.
Another record made Saturday
was that of finishing a league season
without the stopping of a single
game by weather conditions. Only
one game, a conflict between Marys
ville and Halifax, was shortened by
Jupiter Pluvius. This battle went five
innings. Tho score by innings: •

MURRAY WINS
TENNIS TITLE
Takes Final Match From Bos
ton Star; Miss Browne
Champion
Forest Hills, N. Y.. Aug. 27.
Playing the aggressive and smash
ing game of tennis which he learned
in California, R. Lindley Murray,
now of Niagara Falls, N. Y„ de
feated Nathanial W. Niles, of Boa
ton, three sets to one in the final
round of the National Patriotic
Singles Tournament played at the
West Side Club here Saturday. Mur
ray's victory over Niles was not
achioved without a bitter court
battle, the Bostonian going down
to defeat 5-7, 8-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Miss Mary K. Browne, of Cali
fornia, defeated Miss Molla Bjur
stedt, of Norway, the national chain.
pVon, in the final round "of the
women's single, 4-6, 10-8, 6-2.
Niles made his best showing in
the first two sets, the first of which
he won after deuce had been
called, and tho second, which he
lost, after even a longer and more
gruelling struggle. From that point
on Murray began to forge rapidly to
the front and scored game after
gamo in rapid fire order. In many
respects Niles showed a more fin
ished example of tennis play and
stroking, but he never rose to the
height of power or the degree of
endurance shown by his conquerer.
Miss Browne Stars
When the Miss Browne and Miss
Bjurstedt match was stopped by
tho shower on Friday the girl from
Norway had won the first set at
6-4 and Miss Browne led at 2-0 love
on games in the second set. Miss
Bjurstedt led off with the service
upon turf that was hard and fast
and to the liking of the California
girl. She sent her line cutters
winging through her rival's couft
so swiftlV as to score the first of the
games at love.
This gave Miss Browne the lead
on games in the set at 3-love. She
had to taste the terrific forehanders
of the national champion in the next
few games. A brisk breeze began to
sweep the court and this seemed to
unsteady the Californian so that she
placed her drives so poorly as to
make It possible for Miss Bjurstedt
to score five consecutive games.
Golf Notes
By Colonel Bogey
The pointwinners In the Season
handicap tournament at Reservoir
for the past week are as follows:
First place, 11. W. Perry, gross. 75;
no handicap; net, 75; second place.
J. H. Thomas, gross, 101; handicap,
25; net, 76; third, K. E. Richards,
gross, 86; handicap, 8; net, 78.
The matches in the third round for
the Fred B. Harry cup at Reservoir
have been held up during the past
week on acoount of the rain and long
grass, only three matches having been
played, as follows: C. H. Sauers beat
D. R. Myers;'H. W. Perry beat T. V.
Devlne; J. D. Smith beat T. B. Wil
dermuth.
The following visitors played over
Reservoir course during tho past
week: B. Leisle Fohl, Lancaster; R, M.
Robertsort, Pittsburgh, Pa.; James A.
Covey, Coudersport, Pa.; J. G. Wil
liamson, Blue Ridge Country Club,
Palmerton; T. W. Downes, Steelton;
Carl Strait, Willlamsport.
The match at Reservoir between
Skip Perry and Tommy Devlne was a
thriller, as is always the case when
these two players get together, and
It was followed by an enthusiastic
gallery. Perry won. 4 up and 3 to
play, although he had to play "bogey"
golf to do it. Perry's medal score
was 37-38 or 75 and Devine's was
40-41, or 81.
There is a tree at Reservoir Park
that gets the_ players' goats more
than any otlier'one in the park. This
tree Is located at the edge of No. 8
green the roots of which are so
shaped that they form a cup, and woe
to the player who Is unfortunate
enough to get caught In this trap,
as usually four or five strokes are lost
in getting out.
Foursomes have become all the
rage at Reservoir, and almost every
day you will find several matches ot
this kind. Prominent among these
"foursomes" are Sauers and Richards
against Kelly and Zimmerman, and
many are the "alibis" the beaten ones
have to offer.
There has been a great deal of en
tertainment furnished at Reservoir
during the past year In the way of
matches, etc., which has no doubt been
tho leading faetfer In keeping up in
terest among the many players. After
the Harry cup tournament is finished,
there will be a Tombstone tournament
and a return match with the
Club players. There will also be a
few benefit tournaments.
Tho points scored in the Season
handicap, up to and including Au
gust 25, are as follows: Richards,
12 2-3; Warlow. 10 2-3; D. R. Myers,
9 1-3; M. S. Kelley. 9 1-3; J. D. Smith,
8 1-3; C. H. Sauers, 8; W. W. Smith, 8;
T. V. Devine. 7; A A. Wert. 6; H. F.
Young, 5 1-3; G. S. Trout, 5; H. W.
Perry, 5; J. H. Thomas. 6; W. D. Mel
kle, 2; T. J. Devine, 2; C. Zimmerman,
2; H. T. Nugent. 1, and F. G. Roth, 1-3.
Carpentier on Way Here
to Teach Aviation Corps
London, Aug. 27.—Georges Carpen
tler, the champion heavyweight boxer
of Europe, who is the idol of France,
both as a fighter and an aviator, is
expected to arrive In America shor.ly
to give the flying men the benefit of
his great experiapre in the air. He is
expected to mix a little boxing with
his aviation duties, and should receive
a splendid reception, especially now
that the Americans have Joined in
with the allies.
Carpentier declared when the war
broke out that he would not engage
in any boxing for his own benefit
until peace terms were signed, and
has plainly stated that any money he
receives from his boxing exhibitions
he will give to the Red Cross fund.
Carpentier haa, been made practically
penniless during the war, for the for
tune ho had made in the ring he In
vested In the coal mines of Lens,
which have been occupied by the Ger
mans for so long. He also bought a
heme for his parents, both of whom
fce lias not seen since the war began.
