TWO CHIEFS | A couple of Native American stars, John Meyers of the Giants (left) and Charlie Bender of the Athletics, pose for the cameras at the 1911 World Series. Both Meyers, a Cahuilla Indian, and Bender, a Chippewa, were inevitably nicknamed "Chief." Note Meyers' dark uniform. "Superstitious McGraw," he recalled, "he had us dressed in black uniforms, because that's the way the Giants had been dressed when they beat the A's in the 1905 World Series."
