Goes Into Details of Case
Which Had Baseball,
World Guessing a Few
Weeks Ago.
BY JOHN J. McGRAW,
Manager, New York Giants.

The Kauff case left me out on a
limb. I am now going to try to crawl
fn-not that I mind much being out
on limb, except that think the base
ball public is entitled to know fully
what happened. So I am now going
to add some hitherto untold details to
the general remarks l made on this
case.
Under the laws of organized baseball
the Giants had an agreement with the
indianapolis club Of the American As
sociation some time ago to get this
young player for a certain amount. He
jumped to the Federal League. and
discussed the situation with Ban john
son last winter while the negotiations
for the purchase Of the New York
American League club were in progress.
why not get Kauff for the Giants
nowf' johnson asked me.
The New York club later received
letter from Hermann, chairman of. the
national commission, advising us to try
to sign Kauff Soon after this cham
pionship season opened, a friend of
Kauffs wired me he was a free agent.
This telegram came as a surprise to
me, and before did anything showed
II to Mr.. Hampstead, the president of
the New York club. The wire further
stated that kauff would like to join
the Giants.
We next got in touch with Kauff and,
after that all business was done be-
tween Kauff and Mr.. Mempsteads at
torney. We found. from what Kauff
told US. that the younGster came to us
as a free agent, as we had been advised.
He had signed contract with the

Mr. Gaffney that day were purely per-
sonal. Of promises made and not kept.
1t was the first chance I had had to
talk in long time. may have more
to say to the baseball public Of this
incident in the future.
When Ward and his lawyer confer
red with the representatives of or
sanized baseball on the matter, I
knew organized baseball was going
know why. they decided not to make
fight on Kauff. And all the time /
had been under the impression that
l was doing something FOR organized
baseball as well as the Giants.
The reason given for refusing to
baseball was that he had become
automatically blacklisted when he
jumped from the indianapolis club
to the Feierals. an outlaw organiza-
tion. I would like to have organized
baseball tell me why Garry Hermann
to try TO sign Marsans and get him
back when the Cuban leaped right
direct from the ranks Of the National
League into the Feds? Since Kauff
has been declared an undesirable
player because he left indianapolis.
how does he compare with Marsans.
who made the jump direct?
Several seasons ago. Hal Chase
jumped the Yankees and went to the
Coast League. which was then an
outlaw organization. Was he black
listed for three years? No, he was
reinstated overnight For some rea-
son, on which have not been let in,
they got me out Of town to Phila dell
phia. where the Giants were playing
at the time. and then gave Kauff
back. They made me look bad on
the deal.

think his name is. When the Brooklyn

the young ball player demanded this in
writing from Mr.. ward. According to

during the progress of the deal, all the
business was done by Mr.. Hempstead's
lawyer. and that I took no part in the
negotiations until I was instructed to
sign Kauff. Because Mr. Ward had
never replied to the written demands
from Kauff for copy of his contract,
our lawyer declared it was no contract,
he was a free agent, and the case would
probably be thrown out Of court. 1t
looked like a cinch all the way through.
