Where- fore any claim the Indianapolls asso- clation club may have had upon Kauff has lapsed with time. Further, what- ever moral claim might still exist had been transferred to my club by In-. dianapolis. Kauff a Free Agent. “But what is still more important, Benny Kauff was a free agent before he signed a three vears’' unbreakable contract with the Giants today. Last year Kauff was the property of the In- dianapolis Federal league ¢lub, an or- ganization which since has become de- funct. When Robert B. Ward nego- tiated for Kauff's services Business Manager Dick Carroll of the Brooklyn federals decoyed the player to the club’s training camp at Browns Wells and signed him to a three years' con- tract That contract Robert B. Ward, president of the club, repudiated. “Ward told Kauff that Carroll had contracted for a higher salary than he would pay. He tried unsuccessfully any number of times, by bonus ar- rangements and what not, to make, the outfielder subscribe to a new doc- ument at lower remuneration. Ward not only refused to make good the sai- ary obligatlons contracted by his agent Carroll, but steadfastly refused to give Kauff a copy of the original document, For the past two weeks Kauff has tried unsuccessfully to come to an un- derstanding with Ward. ' He finally notified the president of the Tip Tops that unless he received a satisfactory answer by noon today he would con- tract for his services elsewhere. That is just what happened. “I have not gone into this matter blindly,” McGraw continued. “I took no step in the matter without the ad- vice and assurance of wise counsel. Kauff is the property of the Giants and 1 do not intend to have him kept out of the game. Application for his re- instatement will be made to the Na- tional commission members at once by wire. At least one of the National commission is with me on the propi- sition. Ban Johnson told me to go ahead with Kauff and that he would stand behind me.” Hempstead Claims to Be Right, President Harry N. Hempstead of the New York Nationals refused to go into detail in the matter of Kauff's connection with the Giants. “T can assure you positively,” he | said, “that the New York club has violated none of organized baseball's rules in signing Kauff. We have acted throughout in the best of faith and time will prove the justice of our con- tentions.” President John K. Tener seemed quite positive that Kauff would not be eligible to play in New York livery for some time if ever. “Kauff, said he, “deserted organized club. There are set rules and regu- lations which must guide the conduct of Kauff's future relations with organ- ized baseball. In the first place he must make personal application to the National commission for reinstate- ment. He must submit minute evi- dence in defence of his desertion. Then it will be up to the commission to s&y whether or not the offender is to be forgiven. “You will realize that a great prin- cile is involved in this case, a prin- ciple.affecting not only Kauff but ev- ery other player who has deserted or- ganized baseball for the independents. There is a rule in organized baseball which fixes a set penalty, under ex ing conditions, for just such an offence as Kauff commiltee when de disre- garded the reserve clause of ths In- dianapolis Amrican association club. That rule established when the Pa- cific Coast outlaws were taken into our organization, provides suspension for a term of three years. “I do not know whether or not the National commission would see fit té take such drastic action against Kauff if he were to apply for reinstatement. But T do know that whatever action it might take would establish a prece- dent which would influence the pos- sible application of the many former players of organized baseball now as- sociated with the Federal league.” Mr. Tener also spoke in no uncer- tain terms of his displeasure at hav- ing his league confronted with even the technicality of contract tamper- ing at this particular time when the fundamental principle involved is still being considered by Judge Landis of Chicago. Robert B. Ward, president of the Giants, declared most emphatically | that the player was bound to his or- | ginization by ties that could not be broken by outside parties. Mr. Ward refused, however, to discuss any pos- sible action on his behalf until he | learned just what attitude President Tener of the National league might assume. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Stallings Uncovers New Star in Eddie Fiizpatrick & Boston, April 30.—George Stallings is either the luckiest manager the game has ever known or he is a wizard in the Gevelopment of players, and we are inclined to favor the latter view, An ordinary manager would become upset over the injury of a star of the caliber of Johnny Evers, and yet Stal- lings, beyond expressing sympathy for his second sacker, did not lose any sleep over that personage’'s incapacita- tion. He put an untired youngster to fill in at Evers’ position, and the youngster is making good with a vengcance. Eddie Fitzpatrick is the name of the Evers understudy, and while there is not a chance in the world of his supplanting the great seccnd sacker, it is certain that he has demonstiated that he possesses sufficient class to stick with the big show. Fitz is a second edition of the great Maranville, who plays ‘next door” to him in the short field. He Is slightly heavier than the ‘‘Rabbit” and not quite as graceful in the field but he is almost as good a flelder, and so far is pounding the pill harder. The case of Fitzpatrick is paralled by those of nearly every member of the Boston squad that Stallings has ac- quired 'since he took hold of the team. Gowdy, Schmidt, Rudolph, Moran, Smith and Connolly were never con- sldered extraordinary players until Stallings took them in hand, and now they are all stars of the first water. Cincinnati Boston ..

New THIS IS A TALE OF SKITTISH OLD MEN High School Boys Show 'l'p Profes- sional Men at the Great Out- door Sport of Baseball, Once upon a time there was a num- ber of Professional Men in New Brit- ain who heard the Call of Spring and | hied themselves out to the Lots, where they labored under the delusion that they were just as Young as they used to be. They found a gathering of Beardless Juveniles engaged in a game of Rounders and the pitiful ef- forts made by the B.

The Laltimore club, which had been man- <cd by John MoGraw, was dropped |at the close of the 1902 season, to make way for New York, just as Mi Minneapolis, Buffalo, Kan- and Indianapolis had previ- been shunted out of the new in order that the franchises be awarded to larger cities. The cntrance of New York in 1903 ! was the last of these changes, and { the Johnson organization has since | stood pat. Joseph W. Gordon was the head of the New York club when it played its first contest on the home grounds, April 30, 1903, and Clark Griffith was 'the manager. The Highlanders, as | the New Yorkers were first called because of the location of their home plant on Washington Heights, were a jairly classy bunch, but not quite gced enough to realize the fond hopes | of the metropolitan fans. They met and defeated Washington in the first pas.ime on the home grounds, win- ning by a score of 6 to 2, with Jack Chesbro pitching. Any club was good cnough to whip Washington in those days, however. ! wiuke Peas City ously leagie could vear at the bottom of the fourth di- . vision, having been beat out by Jimmy | Collins’ Bostonians, Athletics and Armour’s club. Not a single member of Highlanders aggregation of 1903 now left in organized baseball major league calibre. The Highlanders were long handi- capped, financially, by the inaccessi- bility of, their plant, which was lo- cated at 165th street and Broadway. The subway station at that point was ‘something less than a mile under- ground, and elevators were required to carry the fans up and down. There were only two “lifts” on the job, and sometimes from fifteen to thirty min- utes elapsed before the bugs could be transported to the surface. This obstacle to the success of the club finally brought about the abandon- ment of the old park, and the club played at the Polo Grounds, for which the Yankee management paid the Glant owners the neat sum of $55,- 000 a vear. The old plant has been dismantled and cut up into building lots. The Highlanders finished second to Boston in their second year, but slumped to sixth place in 1905. They finished second to the White Sox in 1906, but in the next three years they | were fifth, elghth and fifth, respec- | tively. In 1908, they returned to | second place, trailing the Athletics, ,but were sixth in 1911, eighth in j 1912, seventh in 1913, and sixth last year. | Frank J. Farrell became the presi- { dent of the club in 1907 and held that ipost until this year, when the club was sold to Col. Ruppert, a wealthy brewer, and Capt. Huston, a contrac- tor who made his pile in Havana. Since 1903 the New York Ameri- can league club has had eight man- . agers. Clark Grifith held the job until 1908, when he was succeeded by Norman Elberfield. George Stallings, the “miracle man” of the Boston Braves, held the reins in 1909 and during a part of 1910, when Hal Chase took his place. Harry Wolver- ton assumed the management in 1912, and in 1913 Frank Chance; the former ‘“Peerless Leader” of the Cubs, took a chance at the game. He threw. up the thankless job last year and Roger Peckinpaugh finished out the season. Now Bill Donovan is up against it. If he can return the Yanks a winner, Col. Ruppert will find his investment better than a brewery, for | in spite of all discouragements the New York fanatics have been a loyal bunch, i Cleveland is of PITTSBURG PIRATES CFILEB! S TWENTY-EIGHTH BIR'I‘HD?\;‘T - TODAY. Thé Pittsburg Pirates will celebrate | today the twenty-eighth birthday of their club, as it was on April 30, 1887, that the Smoky Citiy aggregation of bellicose buccaneers climbed aboard the Natonal league ship. The Western Pennsylvania metropolis was a live baseball town, and liberally infested with fans, from the very beginning of the national pastime, but 1t was com- paratively late in getting the recog- { nition of the moguls of the most ven- erable of major leagues. ‘The Na- tional league management had experi- mented with clubs in Hartford, Syra- cuse, Troy, Worcester and other minor league citieis before they bethought themselves of the possibilities latent | in the smoke cloud which is Pittsburg. nce then other clubs have come and | gone, but tthe skull-ana-crossbones | crew have stuck to the ship, and more than once have hoisted their black fiag to the marlin spike, or the helm, or whatever it is that flags are at- tached to on a vessel.

During their first six annums the Pirates were a humble crew and satis- fied with second division berths. In 1893 they made a noise like pennant contenders, and finished second to Boston. Then followed another slump of six weary years, when the Buc- caneers were also rans. In 1900— which was the year Barney Dreyfuss took charge of the club and Fredrick C. Clarke and “Honus' Wagner ap- peared in Pirate uniforms—Pittsburg firished second, and in 1901 the Pi- rates breezed out in front.

New York, April 30.—After all the commotion over Benny Kauff, whom a few sharp eyed fans recognized even before the word was pagsed around who it was, after the announcing and wrangling and telephoning, the scurrying to and fro, the ball game was played. It was a turbulent, up, guards and at 'em affair, with & swaying lead, and with the Braves winning because they outfought the Glants. Both sides played uphill ball, but the Bostons were the better stayers, the better fighters. They\ won, 18 to 8. The Giants couldn’'t make eight runs win a ball game because therq were two costly and heart breaking errors behind Rube Marquard and because there were destroying wal. lops by Boston burlies after each of these errors, which same not made would have meant six less runs for the champions of all things mun< dane.
