A weary female stood in court before a judge quite grim; And looking up with abject mien she turned and spoke to him; “Your Honor"—said she with a voice that bordered on a sigh— “1'd like to get a quick divorce’— and tears stood in ner eye; The Judge looked down upon just a moment ere he sald “What has your hueband done that you are sorry that you wed? her | Can it be that he beats you—or holds out half his pay?” Whereat the female wept again and these sad words did say— Chorus | “He only talks of stymies and of dor- mies— 1le only talks wt ‘hooks that lost a bet; He plays this \If all day | And at night he raves away Of putts he orter had—but didn’t get; He says he orter had a lixt) -seven— TBut the hundred that he took was far from right— | 1 don’t care if he should play | “1 hate divorces,” Thiz here golluf every day If he wouldn't play it over night.” every The stern judge thought a moment with a frown upon his face— he . replied, ‘“but not in this here case; 1 know the gunman's orten wrong— and yet he has his side; | And ‘while I sometimes jug a thief— | | I often let him slide; But there are limits to all crime— and one or two so raw | That fitting punishment is yet beyond the printed law—" when .he murmured ‘twenty vears''—the golf&rs hair turned gray And now his wife is kinder sad that these words she did say— But | and deévelop a curve ball Chorus. “He only. talks of stymies and of dormies’’—ect. Three years ago the Giants at July 1 was sixteen games beyond the Cubs, in second place. Last summer at this stage the Giants were sixieen games in front of the Braves, in last place. Today the leaders are less than nine games in front of the tail-enders, which shows what a great levelling hus taken place. There 1s a slighter difference in class this season between the leaders and tailenders—especial- ly in the National League—than we have ever seen. Which is almost sure 1o mean a grand race,all the way into young October, Salaries. " Grover Cleveland Alexander draws down a salary of $5,400 a year. He | signed for that amount and gamely stood by hig signature. Walter John- son gets $12,000 or more and deserves what he gets, Others get from $6,000 to $10,000, Yet there isn’t a pitcher in baseball—not even Johnson— who deserves more money than the Philly star, who stands out as one of the most valuable piece of baseball bic- a-brac planted on balldom’s shelf. The Case of Johnson. Johnson’s case came up for dis- cussion yesterday, @hd a Washington expert who had followed the club all season had this testimony to offer: ‘“Last season Walter decided to try that he could use in place of speed, He stuck to the same system this spring, with the result that, while he pitched good | ball, he was not as effective as he uged to be. Not all tnis was John- son's fault. In the first five games he pitched his club got exactly one run, &nd Johnson won his game, 1 to 0. Eut in the last two weeks he has gone back to his speed again, and has look- (Continued on Twelfth Page.) KAUFF FINED $100. Temperamental Jumper Has Penalty Imposed for His Conduct. Brooklyn, N. Y., July 3.—The trou- bles of Benny Kauff, the tempera- mental player of the Brooklyn Feds, continued yesterday. He was fined President Gilmore for quitting the Brooklyn club so unceremoniously. Benny attended the Giants-Brooklyn game at Ebbets fleld yesterday. He wore his latest suit and all his jew- elry, and said he wasn't worrying. Kauff stated that he would not play with the Brookfeds again until the club patd him the $500 which was de- ducted from his salary on July 1. He asserts that the Brooklyn club had no right to withhold this money, which dates back to an advance he got from the Indianapolis club a yéar ago. Business Manager Dick Carroll is just as emphatic in saying that it is re- corded in Kauff's contract that he should repay the §1,500 in three an- nual installments of $500 each. “I am not playing baseball for fame and glory,” said Kauff at Ebbets field vesterday, “and 1 want the money which is due me.” ’; Kauff yesterday shook hande with nothing was said about joining the New York club. Manager McGraw decided that Kauff could not play with organized ball, and that's all there was to it. Yesterday President Tener of the National league said.that the case was closed as far as the league was » concerned and that he did not care to have anything more to do with it. Kauff last night had a conference with his counsel, Attorney John M. Ward, relative to the suits he is pre- paring to bring against the Giants to recover the bonus which he alleges { was promised him for signing a New York contract. It was announced last night that President Weeghman of the Chicago Federal league club had made an of- fer to Brooklyn for Kauff's services. He stated that he believed .the playe: could get along under Tinker's direc- tion, and he thought that the Wards would let him go. President Robert B. Ward of the Brookfeds sald yester- day, however, that Kauff would not e traded or permitted to play with any other club than the Brookfeds. Sound the cymbals for two kinds of independence joy!
