The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1914-08-07

The Feds may not be offering as
good q sample Of the national pAstime
as the American and National leagues,
but there Is one individual enrolled
with an outlaw team who doffs his cap
to no one. His speciality is hitting,
and in that respect he equals any Of
the famous sluggers in the other cir
cuff, not even excepting Ty Cobb of
the Tigers.
This particular player is in our
midst today, and is a member Of Bill
Phillips Hoofeds. His name is Kauff,
Benny Kauff.
Russell Ford, star hurler Of the Buff
feds, and at one time a member of
the New York Yanks, is authority for
the above statement. Rus words may
be taken in all seriousness, for the
former Highlander has faced Ty Cobb,
Joe Jackson, Iris Speaker and the
recognized sluggers of the age. When
the Buffalo team was here on Its last
visit, Ford, in an argument as to who

Faithful Unto Death.

"One Of the bravest acts witnessed
during the whole war;" said an officer
of the Army of Northern Virginia,
was that of young soldier, who was
probably not over sixteen. We had
thought of him as only a boy. although
he went with the regiment on all of
It's marches. and lived with 1t in all
its encampments.
"One day there was fierce engage
ment- In the midst of 1t bullet struck
this boy in the breast, and he fell. Our
colonel ordered his men to dismount,
and as he himself sprang from HIS
horse, the boy called out in a weak
voice, I will hold your horse, colonel!'
stopping in the midst of the storm
of bullets to gaze in pity on the white,
boyish face, the colonel said, But you
can't do that, lad-you are dying
Il know l am, colonel the gallant
boy replied. But can hold the reins
when am dead
THE colonel placed the bride in the
trembling hands and went forward.
When the fight was over, he hurried
back, and found the boy lying dead,
the bride reins still wrapped tightly
round his limp right nd."-Youth's

smiled back at him. but it was a
smile full of establishment, for this
was the first time a home run bad
ever been made on the delivery of
Christy Mathewson, for the big fell
low was none other than the now fa-
nous big Six" And the midget, the
little hurler who banged the ball, was

for the st. Louis Cardinals.
Wee Willie" was so swelled up
that he forgot all about the art Of
pitching, and before he landed on
earth again the Giants had tied the
score in their half Of the inning and
won the game In the ninth by the
score of to 2. This was the only
homer made on the delivery of Matty
in two seasons; In the year 1902 the
batters of the National failed to con-
neot with his curves for four-bagger.
So little willie wore the title proud
ly for q couple of seasons.

FIRST HOME RUN OFF MATTY
"Wee willie" sudhofi Turned the
Trlok at the Polo Grounds, but
Did Not Win He Game.

One day two young hurlers were en-
gagged In q regular pitchers battle.
They were both right.handed. but that
ended the resemblance. One was over
six feet tall, the other was Ave feet
and about two inches over.
On June IL, 1901, at the Polo
grounds, the home Of the New York
Giants, these two hurlers battled for
five innings without allowing run. In
the sixth the visitors managed to get
man on with their midget hurler up,
the little chap who had been
pitching his head of and come In from
his task with the sweat streaming
down his face.
Brushing out his eyes with his fists,
he picked UP his little bat and walked
up to the plate. The big pitcher
smiled a rather plying smile. but
didn't let up on his speed. He flashed
the ball through with all the stun he
had, and the little fellow swung at
It with all the stun he had-and his
teammates declare with his eyes shut.
However. an awful crack followed. and
the ball sped away beyond any field
er, and the pony pitcher galloped
around the bases, chasing the other
fellow in.
When he reached the home plate he
paused and posed for moment, then
drew himself up to his full height
five feet two inches-and grinned at
the big hurler, and the big hurler

was the best hitter, nominated Benny
without hesitation. That fellow"
said Ford, will easily outshine Cobb,
Jackson and Speaker. He's a natural
hitter and base hits are everyday
occurrences with him"
Kauff was lost to organized ball
back In the days when Hal Chase
was managing the Yankees. Hal had
him, but refused to waste time in CIV
ing him a thorough trial. Kauff drift
ed to the New London club, and led
the Eastern association with 176 hits
in 1876 games for a mark of .34b. He
possessed all of his hitting ability
while with the Yanks. and feeling that
he was being done an injustice, had
no hesitancy in joining the Feds when
an offer was made him.
Kauff is the most dangerous hitter
in Gilmore's circuit as we'll as being
the best. His work has been a large
factor in the success of Bill Phillips
team.

Hard Luck for BROWN.

Pitcher Elmer Brown of Brooklyn
has suffered all season with a sprained
foot. He went to Bonesetter Reese,
who fixed It. Brown rejoined the
team feeling like a new man and
went out to lift few fungoes in
batting practice. He was hit over the
eye with returned ball and eight
stitches had to be taken in the wound.
And then some people say there is no
such thing as chasing the jinx.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health. success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
GUS, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought 1t was a bracer." (Delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering. we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas. we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked
1t and were free Of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden.
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum. and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"

Plaintiff in La,O-
suit Under X-Ray

| Mrs. Julia Lang. Of near Lamoille,
who is plaintiff in a lawsuit for dam
ages of $4,000 against the MARSHALL
town Light, Power and Railway Com
pany, submitted to an X-ray examina-
ton shortly before noon today. So far
as Is known this examination is the
first Of it's kind ever made in the coun-
ty in connection with a case in the
district court in an effort to determine
the extent or nature of an alleged In
jury for which suit for damages was
being tried.
After Judge Willett had overruled
the motion Of the attorneys for the
railroad company for this examination,
but after jury had been secured, Mrs.
Langs attorneys withdrew their OBJ
lection to the application for an exam
nation. 1t was specified in the courts
order that the examination was to be
made in the presence Of such persons
for the plaintiff as she should select.
The defendant company also had rep
resentatives present. Court was adj
journed at 80 in order to give time
for the examination.
Mrs. Lang is suing for damages for
an alleged injury Of the neck or head
which has resulted, it is claimed. in her
neck remaining permanently bent to
the left side. The sciagraph of Mrs.
Lang's neck will probably be intro
duced as evidence in the trial of the
case. The taking of testimony was be-
gun Monday afternoon.

Never has Victor Morley had a We
hicle that gives him better range
for his well known and undoubted abii-
ity as an entertainer than My Best
Girl His role Is one that wins SYM
pathy and an audience will find itself
getting worked up and decidedly moved
by the almost unending difficulties
that he gets in and out of In the most
amusing fashion. Mr.. Morley is star
OF the first magnitude and when he is
properly cast there Is no one in musical
comedy that works with the JUNCTION
and dash that he puts forth. Those who
have seen him in Three Twins" and
The Quaker Girl will find him even
more delightful in my Best Girl" Mr.
Morley is surrounded by cast OF bril-
liant people. The principals were Sc
lected with the greatest care and
among them will be found voices that
are really rare in the lighter forms of
opera. Dancing is a most decided fea-
ture of the show and there is no kind OF
terpsichorean skill that is not to be
found well executed The chorus is
large. good looking, and excellently
trained.
The production is most elaborate.
The costumes are in the most part
modern and are kept up to the minute.

wildly exemplified the care that is
used in keeping the show In perfect
condition at all times. Odeon

Iowa Railway and Light Company I
Make improvements At Cedar Rapida

Iowa Railway and Light Company to
Make improvements at Cedar Rapids.
Announcement was made yesterday
by the Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany Of proposed extensive improve
ments at Cedar Rapids. the cost OF
which. il is estimated, will reach
$500. 600 Al cost of approximately
$4,000. the company has acquired
property at Fourth avenue and Second
street, to be used as a passenger ter
minal. 1t has acquired right of-way
on both sides of the Cedar river, and
proposes to connect It's own lines and
also make connections with the Wa
ter!oo. Cedar Falls & Northern railway.
1t proposes the erection of an immense
freight terminal on the west side of tho
river at Ninth avenue, and within
thirty-six months sixty additional
miles of interurban track will be built,
which will connect Davenport and Ce-
dar Rapids. and 1t will probably con-
struct q new bridge over the Cedar
river.
This improvement, 1t is said. is but
part Of the program OF the company
in the several cities in which it Is
interested, and If the plans are sue
cessfully carried out the next years
improvements will probably exceed
anything ever before undertaken by the
company.
