	Chief Bender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Albert "Chief" Bender (May 5, 1884 - May 22, 1954) was one of the great pitchers in major league baseball in the first two decades of the 20th century, and is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
		Bender was born in Crow Wing County, Minnesota as a member of the Chippewa tribe - he faced discrimination throughout his career, not least of which was the derisive nickname ("Chief") by which he is almost exclusively known today.
		Bender was voted into the Hall of Fame in 1953, less than one year before his death in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the age of 70.

	Siouxland.net - Siouxland's First Source for Community News, Events and Information - 'Chief' still a legend 100 years ...
		Charles Albert Bender was no more of an Indian chief than "Noc-a-Homa," but when he pitched for the old Philadelphia Athletics, the fireballing righthander was known as "Chief" Bender and he was one of the greatest pitchers of his era.
		Bender was born on May 5, 1883, at the White Earth Indian Reservation in Brainerd, Minn. He was one of 13 children born to Mary Razor (Indian name: Pay shaw de o quay), who was of half Ojibwa (Chippewa) parentage, and Albert Bliss Bender, a homestead-farmer of German-American descent.
		The "Chief's" playing career with the A's was over and although he would bounce around pro baseball for a few more seasons, he was never the same pitcher that he had been in his heyday.

	Chief Bender Basebal Biograpgy
		John Adolph Bender was born in St. Paul on December 22, 1886, and by that time, organized baseball had been played for 41 years and had already evolved into less the fraternal style of play and more the professional and commercial brand of ball that exists today.
		Eschewing the overhand style of pitching, Bender had an (at that time) outdated underhand style of delivery which proved to be a constant enigma and thorn in the side of opposing players, much to the delight of baseball purists.
		Bender did, in fact, hang up his spikes at that time, concentrating much of his energy into his accountancy with the P. Wick company, a position he had held for many years.

	Chief Bender (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Chief Bender, a Chippewa Indian, Hall of Fame pitcher and trapshooter.
		Hundreds of thousands of us know the Chief as he stands in the pitcher’s box—a stolid giant with the unemotional characteristics of his race, yet comparatively few of the admirers of this wonderful moundsman know the other side of his personality as revealed when toeing the “firing line” at a trapshooting club.
		But, at that, the Chief is also a good loser, and he will no more make excuses for an occasional low score at the traps than he would explain to the bleachers why an opposing pitcher got the jump on him in an important game.

		Chief Bender was usually Connie Mack's choice for big games, and led the A's to five World Series.
		Bender, for many years the only American Indian elected to the Hall of Fame, boldly created his own opportunities in a world still basically hostile toward his race.
		He accepted his Indian identity, stoically doffing his cap to cheers for "The Chief," but signed autographs "Charley Bender." Being an Indian gave him separate glamour among the sons of white immigrants with whom he played, and small boys whooped their admiration.

	Hussein's limits, ties to al-Qaida discussed by state officials
		John F. Bender, Esq., chief of policy of the Ohio Department of Commerce, said he supports President Bush's policies to attack Iraq.
		Bender said the United States should attack Iraq because Hussein has defied U.N. Resolution 660 and the cease-fire agreement he signed in 1991, and he is a threat to his neighboring countries because of the weapons he has obtained.
		Bender said although Hussein had unconditionally agreed to the terms on the cease-fire agreement — which restrained Iraq from obtaining nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction and chemical and biochemical weapons, as well as allowing an international system to verify the weapons — he did not comply to the agreement.
