~ FRANK q. MENkR,


Sporting Editor Of The international
News Service.
NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-"Benny Kauff
of the Indianapolis Feds, is one Of the
brainiest, trickiest players that I've
seen In my career as q sporting writ
err" says Otto Floto, one Of the best
known sporting writer's in the West
Floto's statement fatty contradicts
that of Davy Jones, one-time Detroit
outflelder, who rose up 20 say, when
Kaufr was acclaimed a second Ty
Cobb:
"Kauff Is a fine mechanical player.
but he hasn't any brains"
Jones. by the way, gained the repu-
tation while with the Detroit Tigers
for not being able to see anything
wonderful in anybody but himself. and
for being the type Of man who is prone
to take the negative side of any state
ment.
kauff Leads All.
1--WE seen Ty Cobb in action, and
I've seen most of the other great play
ers Of both leagues in action during
the last ten years, but I don't think
any Of them are superior to Kauff,"
says Floto, who has seen the Indian
apolis phenom perform in large
flock of games.
'Kauff's mind is always alert" con-
tinued Floto. zone day in Indian
apolis, Kauff was on third. 1t was a
tight game. Kauff was jumping up
and down the third base line, but no
one ever figured that he would steal
home. That's exactly what he did.
But as he slid into the bag the batter
fouled off the ball. Kauff's steal OF
home was in vain, and he was sent
back to third.
"Then it was that Kauff showed why
he is called a brainy player, for, on
the next swing Of the pitchers arm,
he was off for home again. The play
was SO unexpected that Kauff stole
home easily, and his steal scored the
run that won the game. If that second
steal of home didn't show that Kauff is
a brainy boy, l wonder what a man
must do in baseball to show that he is
ever ready to pull the unexpected?
Confident Batter.
"Kauff's confidence in his own bat
ting ability is superb. It a treat tc
watch him step to the plate. He am.
| bles up there with the same air of de
| termination and confidence as Ty
Cobb. Very often the catcher tried
to josh him in an attempt to get his
goat But Kauff hands it back to them
as good as they give it-and bill
stronger
During the 1914 season Kauff hit 70,
an average Of 1856. He played in 154
games, made 210 hits and stole Il
bases. During the season he made
eight home-runs, twelve triples an(
forty-fve two baggers.
Quite a fellow this Kauff, Ell?

The latest move Of the outlaws In at

thrown CONSERVATION into the camp OF
organized baseball heads, despite their
statements that they welcome inves-

The action started by the Federal
league Is the most threatening they
have made on organized baseball. II
they win, 1t will mean that inter-
league agreement would be dissolved.
more than ten thousand players would
be released from contracts, and most
intricate organization, built up on the
experience of years, would be shat

Today the attorneys for the old
