McVEY AFTER WILLARD. Californian CoIored Pugilist Anxious to Take a Crack at New Champ.

If Jess Willard, the new word s champion, ever decides to swaive on that color line he has established, he can find a quick ring customer in Sam McVey, the Californian heavy And what's more, if he beats McVey the new champion can make a whole lot more money out of it than he did the last time he boxed a negro. Just to make things interesting, George Lawrence, McVey's Australian man. ager, stands ready to back his man with $10,000 in real cash.
 willard Is the champion and I have nothing to say regarding his bout with Johnson" said MT. Lawrence. T saw it, and we will let it go at that l will stay this, however, if Willard will forget that color line for one-llalf hour, that's all, just one-half hour, I stand ready to put up s10,00O that McVey will not only outpoint him. but will ac- tuaIly stop him That's how great is my confidence in McVey.
 "An the Willard syndicate has to do is to agree to the bout, and the rest can be arranged very easily. To my mind Mcyey is the best heavyweight in the world and I think many fans will agree to it.

That stock. on dealings aEgregating about 20 per cent of the whole, advanced 1 7-S points to within the smallest fraction of the years best prices. but fell back towards the close, to the accompani- ment of adverse trade rumors. Although the volume of business was below that of recent active sessions, today's movement was very broad, talk ing in almost every division of the list. Standard railway shares were not especially prominent at any time, only a few issues in this class making ap- pr eciable gains. On the other hand, Missouri, Kansas and Texas and Wa bash issues were both active and ttcipation of the acceptance of the note extension offer and the latter on pub ncation of it's reorganization plan.

.Kauff's Jump Creates Big Commotion
Star OutfeIder of Brookfeds Signs With Gants-Gane Between Giants and Braves Declared Forfeed-Presi- dent Ganey of Boston Club Refused to Allow His Men to Play With Jumper in Opposing Lineup

New York, April 29.-Benny Kanff, star outfielder of the Federal league, jumped from the Brooklyn F'ederals to the New York National League club, thereby creating the biggest commo- ton of the baseball season so far, his action giving rise also to an unusual series of complications in connection with the game scheduled for today at the Polo grounds between Boston and New York.
 Zach Wheat Trade False.
 McGraw has been trying for some time to secure strong hitter for his outfield and only yesterday he was de- clared on the best apparent authority to have secured Zach Wheat of the Blooklyn team in exchange for several New York players President Ebbets of Brooklyn is emphatic. however, in declaring there never has been the slightest intention to let Wheat get away from Brooklyn and today when negotfations which ADcGraw says he has been conducting for some time with Kauff came to a head, the Giants manager snapped at the chance to sign the heavy hitting Federal leaguer.
 Kauff is declared to have made an affidavit this afternoon that he was not under contract to the Brooklyn FederalS and to have signed three year contract with the Giants at a high salary. McGraw asserted the New York club consulted high legal authority before signing Kauff and that the New York clubs claim to the player under his new contract is be- lieved to be unassailable.
 Kauff Never Signed With Brooklyn.
 According to McGraw, Kauf has never signed @ contract with the Brooklyn Federal League club. The player was a member of the Indianap- olis Federals last season. He origin ally baked at his transfer to Brook lyn, it is said, but an agent for that club, reported to have been business manager, Richard Carroll, finally offer ed terms which Kauf accepted. MT. McGraw stated that when Kaufi came north with the club, President Ward refused to accept the terms made by his special agent and re- peatedly tried t& sign Kauff to 3 Federal League contract calling fol the same salary for which he played with Indianapolis last season. Ward | promised to pay Kauf a bonus to sign such a contract, it is declared Kauff refused to do this and held out for the salary for which he contracted at the training camp. Ward then | according to McGraw, held that Kauffs contract with Indianapolis was binding on Kauff, as it still had two

of Boston took the stand that he did not care to get involved in any base ball war. My team is not permitted to play against any Federal league club, neither can it play against any Federal league player" he argued.
 How the muddle at the Polo grounds is viewed at league headquarters was explained by Secretary John Heydler, late today. He said that Umpire Eason had called President John Tener on the telephone and explained the situa- tion at the ball park and that the league executive instructed the um- pire to notify Manager McGraw of the Giants that Kauff was ineligible to play with the New York club.
 President Tener ruler that Kauff, having jumped from organized base ball to the Federal league, had auto matically suspended himself and his name had been placed upon the ineli- gible list of the national commission. As result Kauff is not eligible to play with any club or league of or ganized baseball until he has been re- instated by the national commission. President Tener ruled that Kauff, pire Eason to explain the situation and status of the player to Manager McGraw and to declare the game for feited to the Boston club in case the New. York club manager persisted in playing Kauff

years to run.
 McGraw asserted that the player be- came dissatisfied with his lot in Brooklyn and after writing several let ters asking President Ward to give him the salary he believed he was en- titled to, Kauff opened negotiations with the New York National League club.
 McGraw said that Kauff's contract with Indianapolis was an iron-bound one and that it could not be broken, but that the attorneys for the New York club took the stand that as the Indianapolis club no longer Is in ex- istence, Kauff is a free az ent and has full right with New York.
 Game Declared Forfeited.
 The game between the New York Giants and the Boston Nationals was declared forfeited this afternoon by Umpire Quigley because James Gaffney, president of the Boston club, refused to permit the team to play the Giants with Benny Kauff crack centrefielder of the Brooklyn Federals, in the Giants line up.
 Kauff jumped to the Giants about five minutes before the time for call ing the game.
 He was immediately engaged. John McGraw announced that he would play in this afternoons game. Mir. Gaffney announced that he would refuse to permit the team to play. Maranville. as captain of the Boston Braves, informed Umpire Quigley that Boston would not play, whereupon Quigley declared the game forfeited to New York.
 Umpire Eason, prior to Quigley's de- claring the game forfeited rushed away to a telephone for instructions. After the game was declared for feited, Gaffney and McGraw engaged in lively verbal encounter. Notwithstanding that the game had been declared forfeited, play was started 15 minutes after the time scheduled for the game. Umpire Eason said that President Tener of the Ma tional league had told him that Kauff should not play. He was left out of 1 the Giants lineup. McGraw played the game after reminding Gaffney that | it had been declared forfeited. There still is dispute whether the game was practice game or the of fcial game. The game was started after Umpire Eason got in communi- cation with President Tener, as the second game of a doubleheader; the l first of which was forfeited to New York. This game may eventually be thrown out. It remains for President 1 Tener to solve the muddle. In further discussing his refusal to

Chicago, April 29.-President Gil more refused this afternoon to com ment on Bennie kauff's jump to the Giants, further than to say he felt like complimenting President Tener and President Gaffney on their stand in declining to permit Kauff to play. The Federal league would protect it's inter ests, he declared, but before taking action would await further informa- ton on the subject.
 Kauff, who was with Indianapolis last year, this season signed with the Brooklyn F'ederals. accepting SLIGO advance money for signing a three veal contract, according to Gilmore. There was no ten day clause in his con- tract.
