Just a Word for KauH

Kauff has received an enlarged amount
of criticism over the country for his
recent move. but II the true facts We're
known, he is less to be blamed than
most of those who jumped organized
baseball and We're taken back.
When the indianapolis franchise went
up in smoke, Kauff, legally, was free
sEent.
on being transferred to Brooklyn he
was due a new contract. This contract
to be legal, had to he signed by Robert
B. Ward. Unless Kauff and others who
examined the inside status are lyins
Mr.. Ward had refused to sign the con-
tract before Kauff left the Brooklyn
club. Therefore, Kauff, legally, was still
free agent His move to go out and
get more money was not only not dis
honorable. but was in entire accord with
the spirit of the modern game.
Those in power in both organized base
ball and the Feds made a Simian wonder
out of the ball player when they were
more to be blamed than he was.

This seems to be the season of bunk
in its most vrulent form. Bunk to the
right of you, bunk to the left of you,
bunk, in fact wherever you go,
But of all the bunk eXtant that con-
nected with the Kauff case smashes all
previous records Kauff was blacklisted
by the National Commission for having
jumped a reserve clause with the Amer
lean Association. on that commission
are John X. Tener and Byron Bancroft
johnson.
VIII these able citizens kindly answer
these two queries:
l. Did John *. Tener jump a reserve
clause of organized baseball % years ago
-leaping from the National League to
the Brotherhood?
2. Did Byron Bancroft Johnson, Is
years ago, encourage National League
players to jumr their reserve clause into
the American League?
The answer in each case being yes,
upon what grounds of morality, logic,
fairness or anything else do they vote
that Kauff has committed a baseball
crime? The answer is that b-u-n-k still

K. o. Person, Weakened by

Fast Go.

Knockout Joe ODonnell, weakened
somewhat by coming in at l2i pounds

little Young Diggins in the final fray at
the Broadway A. c. last night. He was
the recipient of fine lacing at the con-
clusion of six sensational sessions.
Diggins not only outboxed his hard hit
ting opponent, but also surprised the ca
pacity house by outfighting O'Donnell
several times at close quarters. From
the distance, Freddy easily displayed his
superior prowess with a lightning Jab
and straight right hand cross.
At the finish of the bout o'Donnell was
bleeding freely from his mouth and nose.
He also was greatly fatigued as result
of the fast pace set by his smaller an
tagonist.
Previous to the encounter scales were
brought into the ring. ODonnell stepped
on the avolrdupois machine minus his
shoes, with the indicator at the stipulated
weight. He did not move the BEAM Dig

BOneheadism

Colonel Germany Schaefer advanced
another idea worth some comment. Ac-
cording TO Colonel Schaefer most bone
head plays so-called. were made by ball
players who were using their brains and
trying to outguess or outhnk the other
fellow-were trying to pull something off
the beaten path,
"a ball player who goes out and tries
to make some play out of the ordinary
frequently falls down." says the games
leading comedian, who on this occasion
was talking seriously. He may have
had legitimate chance to make good
the attempt may have been one to be
commended. But II he fails he Is promptly
labeled bonehead because he failed to
work along old established lines, The
spectators, through force of habit under
certain situations. expect TO see a certain
play made, and when something else is
tried and this something else fails they
Immediately decide that the players dome
Is composed OF concrete or marble. The
player who doesn't think much will make
few bonehead plays because he will only
try the routine. And II It doesn't work
out II is merely an error"
There is quite a bit more to this than
the average fanatic figures there is.
Some OF the greatest bones of baseball
have been made by players with more
than average brain capacity.

Local Horsemen Ready for Competi-
ton on Fairmount Park Speedway.

The Road Drivers Association will
usher in the local horse-racing season
tomorrow on the speedway course in
Fairmount Park. Interest is aroused over
what kind of speed the new prospects
have in store for the public.
Five or more new trotters with fast
marks have been procured by members
during the last winter, and tomorrow 3
racing will be productive of some sur
prises.
This year there will be eight entries
for the free-for- all trotting class, and
from early accounts new records are
likely to be set before the summer is
over.
Secretary Cliff Durell reports that many
new names have been added to the clubs
roster and that the association is in a
healthy state.
Improvements have been made to the
property as well as to fixing the racing
course. and when the curtain rises the
racing public of this city will be enter
tanned with some good horse sport.

Some Theory

Germany Schaefer has a theory as to
managerial ability. Germany figures that
the greatest manager in the world is a
pair of blokes in there like Cobb and
Crawford or Collins and Baker tearing the
cover OFF the ball and furnishing all the
runs a team needs to win.
I'D rather have a pair like Cobb and
Crawford or Collins and Baker on the
field than a Napoleon or a Won linden
burg on the bench" says schaef. And
there may be something of his viewpoint

WOULD ANNEX ISLE OF MAN
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 12.-Dr. Ambrose
Qualtrough, a member of the House
Of Keys. the governing parliament of
the Isle of Man, gave notice at the
last session of that body that at the
next meeting he would move that
the English government be asked TO
annex the island,
He complained that the Isle of
Man could not get needed reforms,
and that the government had re-
lapsed into a ''one-man power. The
Manx people, he affirmed, were worse
governed than the Germans.
The island, owing to the cutting
off of boarding house and hotel busi-
ness by the war, is on the border line
of starvation.
The Isle of Man, although part OF
the British Isles, still maintains a
certain independence 1t is governed
bv a separate Legislature called the
Tvnwald. consisting of two houses,
tho governor and council and the
House of Keys. Bills after having
nassed both houses must receive the
royal assent.
