RUNNING FOR STREET CAR
DIGNIFIED AND HEALTHFUL.
(By United 1’ress)
LOS A NOBLES, March 21. — ‘•Run
for a street ear. It's dignified and
healthful." That's the advice of I^ouis
M. Head, who has much health and
considerable dignity. “There’s noth
ing better for you,” says he, "than to
let out and sprint a bit early in the
morning, even if you know you can’t
catch the car. The man who's too
proud to run because he's more than
21 may find he can’t run when it
comes to a showdown.”

AMBASSADOR WAS MERELY
DEAD, AND THAT'S ALL.
(By United Press)
LONDON. March 20. — When the
late Russian ambassador, Count
Benckendorff, lay on his death bed,
the London newspapers were keenly
interested In his condition.
One reporter, somewhat more per
Istent than his rivals, made almost
hourly trips to the embassy to receive
bedside bulletins. Each time he ap
beared he was Informed by a majestic
English flunkey In gold lace that there
J was “rahly no chynge in his excel
| lency's condition. Quite nothing to
; report.” After about six weary rounds
between his office and the embassy,
the reporter became suspicious of the
monontony of the butler's reply, and
said he'd just sit down and wait until
there was some change.
"But, rahly, sir," remonstrated the
flunkey, ‘'there'll be nothing further
to report. His excellency died two
hours ago.”

INDIAN PADDING
AD STAB BALL
—
| (By H. C. Hamilton, United Press)
NKW YORK, March 21—There is
I always something touching about the
| passing of an old time baseball player,
1 one of the men who grew up with the
' game and saw it develop into the sport
of the nation. It was so with Chief
Bender, just as it has been true of all
other ball players, and there Is just
a shade more of emotion in his pass
ing, for it leaves only one Indian of
prominence in the major league.
Strong, healthy, quick, drilled In out
door sports by inherited rivalries, the
Indian never has been able to com
pletely fathom the white man's game
of baseball. Many hundreds of the
copper skinned men have been called,
but very few of them have reached the
pinnacle of perfection in the majors
Bender was one of the most prominent
members of his race who ever played
baseball, and chief Meyers is another.
Jim Thorpe, wonder though he is at
other sports, is nothing more than fair
ly good ns a ball player. Sockaiexis
wilt recall glorified athletics to many
an old time fan, but he passed as they
all did. Chief Johnson was a wonder
ful pitcher, and might still be If he
had cared to keep himself in condi
tion. Bender was purely a product of
the Connie Mack school. He was
picked up after making a wonderful
record for a team at Harrisburg, Pa.,
and then after a summer of illness and
a season of no success, he blossomed
It was his work that did more than
anything else to drive the Athletics
to a pennant in 1911, and then he came
through with a world's series victory
practically unaided when Jack Coombs
was stricken down. His work held up
the Mackmen when everything else
was going bad, and his final effort
in the 1915 world's series was a
crowning attempt to pull his team
from defeat. Connie Mack dropped
him at the same time he did Jack
Coombs, and both the master hnrlers
passed into the National league even
tually Bender after spending a sea
son with the Federate. He wasn’t
much of a pitcher, but he had used
his experience to good efefct and be
was considered about half (he strate
gical board for the Phillies.
