Out6elder of Independents
Appears at Polo Grounds
in New York Uniform.
CAUSES BIG ARGUMENT

New York. April 29-Benny Kaum. star
outfelder of the Federal League. appear
ed at the Polo Grounds this afternoon
wearing the uniform of the New York
Giants kauff jumped from the Brook
lyn Federals. Just what price kauf got
for jumping or how the deal waSarrang-
ed has not been announced. Dick Kin
sella. scout for the Giants. engineered
the deal.
Kauff was thought to have been bound
to the Federal League by an iron-clad
contract. covering three-year period
1t WAS said that his salary with the
Federals was in the neighborhood of
5000 a year
when James E. Gaffney, of the Braves.
found that kauff was in center, he re-
fused to let the game proceed. He pro-
tested to Umpire Nal Eason. and Eason
at once got int" communication with
National League headquarters here. The
game was DELAYED until Easons report
was made.
QuiEIcy Forfeits Game.
After waiting ten minutes for the
Braves to go to the bat. Umpire-in-chief
Quislcy declared the game forfeited to
the Giants. TO o.
Then il was that President Hampstead
of the Giants. rushed onto the field
grabbed Manager McGraw, and both OF
them hustled over to the box occupied
by Gaffney.
StallinSs hustled over to the box while
the argument was going on and produced
2 telegram which came from John X.
Tener. president of the league. The tele-
gram stated that no gam could be
played with kauff in the field until he
has been accepted as a legal player In
organized baseball by the National Com
mission. This telegram changed the as
pect of things The Giants withdrew
their insistence that kauff be allowed to
remain in the field. Umpire Quisley de-
clared the game on. and Snodgrass went
to center fer the Giants.
McGraw Claims Forfeit.
When the game finally started. Nc
Graw put up the claim that the Giants
were entitled to it by forfeit, insisting
that the first ruling of Umpire Quisley
must stand. He declared that he woulu
take the matter up with President Tener.
The braves contended that the forfeit
decision of Umpire Quigley did not stand,
in view OF his later orders to have the
game played. McGraw said he would
permit his men to play the game. but
that it either would count as an exhibi-
tion game or would take the place of the
postponed game from yesterday.
The regular game today belongs to
US by the to 0 forfeit score,' said Nc
Graw.
After Snodgrass had taken his posi-
ton in center field McGraw recalled him.
The crowd thought it meant another re-
bellion but MCGraw sent Murray into
renter and the game proceeded.

KANSAS CITY
FORGER CAUGHT
Cashing a Worthless Check Here
His UndOing. Lives in Style
at the Hotel.

Tuesday, January 20, a man
and woman accompanied by a lit
tie girl registered at the Nickel
Home as Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Smith. Smith apparently had no
special business in Lexington,
and was a frequent caller at the
saloons, where he made several
attempts to cash checks. He was
unsuccessful in this, but finally
met Ed Lowe, a former acquain-
tance, whom he persuaded to
identify him at the bank. The
check was for $4,000 which Mr..
Lowe endorsed. The check being
returned as worthless, helped the
officers to trace him to this city.
A detective of Kansas City for
the American Bankers Associa-
ton came to Lexington Tuesday
night and found the man was
Robert M. HiX, who was wanted
in Kansas City for forging a
dozen or more checks on his
father.
The woman he was living with
proved to be a Mrs. Woods, who
had deserted her husband and
three children in Kansas City.
The little girl accompanying them
was also Mrs. Woods.
Mrs. Woods and her little girl
were returned to Kansas City
Wednesday morning, and HiX
was held for an officer from Kan
sas City, who came down We'd
nesday morning and returned
with him in the evening. Hix is
a man about DO years old, anC
some ten or twelve years age
had worked for John Slusher OF
the farm. When arrested he haC
in his possession $1.80, all thar
was left of the $4,000 donated by
Mr.. Lowe. He had paid his boarC
bill.
