GR|FFS LOOK FINE
IN GETAWAY GAME
Boeh|ing Pitches Smoothly and
Team Hits Better Than al
Any Other Time.

Many things combined to make the
final anpearanCe Of the Grifmen here
for q month one of the most attractive
games Of the season. when the Athletics
were dropped by s to in one hour and
twenty-five minutes. Principal among
the reasons for the distinct victory
the Capitolians is the firm brand o?
twirling which one Joseph Boehling OK
hibited and second only to that is tho
fact that the team was hitting In better
form than in any other game this sea
son out on the Georgia avenue plains.
There was absolutely nothing fuky
about that hitting yesterday afternoon,
either. for Wyckof had all Of his speed
with him. The Griffs were simply hit
ting and the Old Fox is hoping his proto-
ges will carry that hitting streak all

begins today

runs to cinCh the game. four talltes hav-

KAUFF REFUSES Ton
ACCEPT FED CHECk
Asserts His Loyalty to Manager
McGraw by RenoUncing the
Outlaws.

NE wYORk, May 1.-Benny Kauf,
the star outfielder OF the Brooklyn Fed
eral League club. who attempted to de-
sert to the New York Giants and play
with them against the Braves at the
Polo Grounds Thursday afternoon. re-
iiounced his Federal affiliations today in
manner that leaves no doubt Of his
personal sincerity toward McGraw
Kauff refused to accept from Business
Manager Carroll, of the Tip Tops. his
first pay check for services with the
Brooklyn independents. kauff insisted
that he was a free agent when he
signed a three years contract with the
New York Nationals and declared most
emphatically that he would stand behind
McGraw in the fight for reinstatement
by the national baseball commission.
In spite of the darkest frowns from
the throne of the National League, both
Manager McGraw and President Hemp
stead, Of the Giants, expressed strong
hopes of carrying their point to a sue
cessful issue with the supreme court of
organized baseball. This, in spit Of a
stanch stand taken by President Tener
against consideration OF Kauff's applca-
tion for reinstatement at this time.
Mr.. Hampstead and Secretary Foster,
OF the Giants, called upon President
Tener shortly after noon today to find
out the feeling of the executive board
toward the Kauff incident. At the time
there were closeted with the boss of
the parent ma jor league James f. Gaff-
ney, G. II. Ebbets, William f. Baker,
ana Barney Dreyfuss. Tener stood to
his guns. but failed to shake the con-
viction of Hampstead that the New
York club was justified in executing a
hasty and favorable verdict from the
national commission.
To a number of newspaper men who
called upon him shortly after his COL
leagues had departed, President Tener
candidly stated his personal views of
kauffs standing.
Il shall not permit Kauff to play with
the Giants before he has been rcinstatcd
by the national commission" said he
Il do not see how the national commits
sion can possibly act upon the player s
application for reinstatement for two
years to come. Certainly the national
commission cannot consider the applica-
ton unless 1t first amends its rules and
regulations. This fact pointed out
clearly to Mr. Hampstead"

DELIVERY FROM \. Y.
TO ALBANY BY TRUCK
Department Store Uses Pierce.
Arrow Car for Unusual Task
and Reports Satisfaction.

NEW YORK. May 1.-Stern Bros, pro-
prietors of one of New York city's lars-
est department stores, recently put one
OF their motor delivery vehicles to an
unusual task, namely. to deliver a single
order 10 customer in Albany.
The common way TO ship such mate
rial, which was mostly furniture, is to
first pack it in crates and boxes. then
haul it to the railroad and then the
purchaser must arrange to have it taken
from the railroad at the other end. In
this instance it was placed loosely but
carefully in a Pierce Arrow truck and
two days later and without additional
handling 1t was delivered at destination
without scratch or blemish of any
kind. and at a less cost than it could
have been done by any other method
Stern Bros. have kept an accurate
record of what the truck did. and some
of their figures are as follows:
Left New York.....6:l5 a. m, Oct. 6, 1914
Arrived in Albany. 1880 a. M. Oct. q. 1914
Left Albany........ 800 a m, Oct. IS, 1871 "A
Arrived in New York. 10 80 p. m, Oct. IS
Round trip, 34S miles. Actual running
time, thirty hours at eleven and one
half miles per hour.
The work could have been accom-
phshed in two days but this would have
| neco ssitated the delivery being made IN
the evening, and to avoid this the men
were allowed ample time to make the
trip so that they could deliver the
,oad at an agreeable time in the morn
ing by daylight.
The above is interesting, as it show,
additional possibilities for departmcr,
store deliveries and motor truck pe,.
formances.

BOSTON, Mass. May l.-Connie
Mack. manager OF the Philadelphia

men as far as Providence today. says
that he is surprised to read in the
papers that Frank Baker is holding
himself open to offers from the Fed
eral League. On getting into Philly
last night, the tall taCtician was
shown an evening paper with an in
terview of Bakers to this effect.
Il can't understand Baker" said
Mack, after reading the story slowly
ad carefully "He must be money mad.
Much that | have never said has been
credited to me by newspapers all over
the country. but | really am surprised
at Baker. lie is held by contract to
the Athletics. He has no chance of
accepting any offers from the Fedora
League, no matter If he is offered a
million dollars for single season. I'm
til his contract runs out, he will belong
to the Athletics"
Mack and Ira Thomas. captain of the
Athletics, are in Providence today, look
ing over a couple of pitchers. They do
not hesitate to say that they need
streng gthcning i order to get into the
pennant race. I'VE need some" said

MODERN TRENCH FIGHTING


 There is an Illusion. held with un- common tenacity by the general pub- lie, that the range and effectiveness of modern arms tends to keep armies far apart On the contrary, there is more hand-to-hand fighting to-day than at any time since gunpowder was Invented.
 Many weapons long since thought obsolete have come into use again. First among these are grenades. of which there are all kinds, from manufactured bombs with fuses to sodawater bottles or tin cans filled with old fron---a variety which is practically as effective. Some of them are, carried in the hand, some on long poles. There are also the canister, which is nothing but shell filled with very small shot. and the trench mortar, meant to throw shell a short distance straight up into the air and down into the enemys trench For this last purpose have seen wooden guns used, but I was never able to find out whether they worked on the principle of sling, a spring, or an airgun- I am personally of the opinion that an improved type of trench mortar would turn the scale in the attackers favor.--The New Re public s.'.ss
