I never disregarded contract obliga- tions in deserting the Tip Tops, for I was not bound to them by contract.

It is believed that he could gain reinstatement should he agree to be tractable. Benny, how- ever, appears emphatic about hig re- nunciation of the Tip Top cause. “1 intend to mave slowly,” 'said Kaufft, “ I have had a number of offers for my services from semi-pro téams in the East. Theatrical agents have been on my trall, too, for they would make capital out' of baseball’s latest disturbance. Moving picture people have been to see me, too. But I intend to do nothing that would allow those baseball people who are responsible for my present position to gueak out from under.” % ' SAYS BRITTON COULD KNOCK OUT CHAMPION | 1 1 | | | Morgan Offers to' Put Jack Against Welsh for Ten Rounds and ,Not Accept a Cent If Beaten.

When Marsans did not sign the contract tendered him by Miller Huggins, representing the Cin- einnat! ‘club, Catcher Gonsales was loaned to the Cardinals.

Dan has the following to say: i “Britton would knock Walsh out in ten rounds as sure as he's alive and I'll bet all the money 1 can get to- gether on it. Welsh was afrald to box Ted Kifi' Lewis in England;. in fact, it was fear of Lewis that drove ‘“Welsh to America after winning his title in London. Then Britton took on Lewis in the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street club and beat him al] over the place in ten rounds, Now Welsh {s more afrald of Britton than | ever, He knows Jack would knock him eold in ten réunds. “Here's & proposition for Harry Pollok, Welsh's manager; Harry will run the bix open air club at Brighton Beach. Well, we'll match Britton against Welsh for ten rounds when- ever Pollok says the word. Britton will ight him in Pollok’s ¢lub, with Welsh’s own referee, and if Jack does not knock Freddie out in ten rounds he won’t take a cent for his work. Now let Welsh prove he's not a coward. .

They defeated the Athletics, § to 4, and didn't have to do much except to see the Athle- tics waste a lot of base hits and mishandle the ball. The champions Mmade a lot of hits off Ray Fisher, many more than the Yanks made off Bush and Bressler. The hit reckoning was 13 to 6, but the Athletics' hiis were sufficiently scattered to keep them to the least possible damage. A Clam Bake Team. The Athletics played like one of those chesen up teams at a clam bake, and that part of their game which was most redolent of said sea food outing was the pitching. The pitching { Was all inlaid with walks. Bush gave eight bages on balls and was removed while in the extreme throes of wild- ness. Bressler gave six more, There- | fore fourteen home players trudged and frotted to first on passes. ot the army who were deadheaded five scored. It is plain, then, what a grea’ help the wildness of the visiting pitch ing was when seasoned now and then with a base hit. The hitting supple- mented the walking and the freckled fielding of the drooping champs to the extent of run getting plenitude. The Yankees' attack missed fire two of three times in base running or else | they'd have made more runs. 8till, the only use they might have had | for more runs would have been for | today.
