By H&L SHERIDAN,

Written for the United Press.
NEW YORK, April 30-Just when
the dove OF peace was about to futter
around a little. then gently close its
wings and settle down peacefully
over the baseball situation--comes a
terrific explosion that splits the
forces of organized baseball and the
Federal League farther apart than
they ever we're.
The jumping of Benny Ksuff, the
Feds star batsman. 10 the Giants. is
expected to precipitate the hottest
clash yet waged between the two
baseball factions
Robert 3. Ward, president of the
Brooklyn Feds, to which Kautf be-
longed. stated today that he would
fight to the last ditch to keep kaun
from playing with McGraw's crew.
He asserted further, that If the Giants
won out in court and kept kauH
that the Feds would retaliate by go
Ing after the stars of organized base
ball. regardless OF whether they are
under contract or not.
Heretofore we have respected the
contracts of the American and Ma
tional Leagues" said Ward. I'VE will
not do this If the Giants keep Kauff. u
Manager McGraw, Of the Giants,
said he is satisfied he had a legal
right to sign Kauff. He declared
the Brooklyn club did not have him
under contract, but was trying to
hold him under a threeyear contract
he had with the Indianapolis eds
AS the indianapolis club is out OF
existence. McGraw declared Kaud
was a free agent.
Secretary Heydler, of the National
League. has wired McGraw's request
that Kauff be reinstated in organized
baseball TO each member Of the Ma
tional Commission. A ruling is OK
pected soon. Until that time Kaui
will remain on the Giant bench.
