the First Time in Six
Years.
WORK OF MUCKS TURNS SCALES
Hefty Wisconsin Athlete Scores |.

Put Mark.

Urhana, H., May 15.-Headed bT

the local squad by a score Of Il to
%.
When the Badgers humbled the Illini
they scored the first victory in an out
door conference dual meet that has
been recorded against GilTs stars

marks were general.
Mike" Mason. Gills wonderful two
miller, was one of the heroes Of the
afternoon, for the Ianky lad easily
out-footed the Badger distance run
ners and finished strong in 9.39, which
is faster than the conference record.
Also he established a new record for
the local track. Mason almost Tapped
his rivals and undoubtedly was good
for a better mark if he had been
pushed
What Mucks Did.
Mucks' premier performance was in
the shotput The Badger Hercules
heaved the weight II feet go inches,
which exCelled the conference record.
Mucks also threatened TO eclipse the
conference mark in the discus, but
halted at l37 feet.
The prettiest competition Of the day
was between Harvey of Wisconsin and
Tapping of Illinois in the half mile
which was won by the Badger star in
1857 2-5
Stiles of Wisconsin was another star
performer, broad jumping q feet 11s
inches Harold Pogue did his first
jumping for the year, but the confer
ence champion could not pass % feet
The jump was a hot contest between
Carter and Stiles. the Badger finally
making his superlative leap.

Brooklyn. y. Y. May 15.-From boy
i'm the coal mines to one OF the great
est baseball stars now appearing be
fore the public. in four years. is the
rapid rise OF Benny Kauff, the sensa-
tionaI young outfelder who recently
made an unsuccessful effort to jump
from the Broolfeds to the Giants.
-Four years ago KaufI. who was not
yet out OF his teens. worked indus
triously 10 hours every day except
Sunday in a coal mine in NliddIeport.
Ohio. for small salary. Today he is
looked upon as the only rival 10 Tyrus
Raymond Cobb. the Georgia Peach of
the Detroit Tigers. Today he is COM
handing a salary that few players re-
ceive.
When only a mere boy the outfielder
began 20 work in the mines. He was a
well developed youngster and the hard
work. instead of sapping his strength
and vitality, agreed with him. 1t de
vcloped his back and shoulders and
made his arms and legs powerful. Like
all American youngsters he was very
fond of the national game. and during
his leisure moment he practiced with
team organized by the mine COM
pany.
Kauff's ability as ball player was
quickly discovered by the captain of
the team and it was not long before
he had regular position on the team.
Haun was not an Dutfelder then. He
played shortstop. He played with the
miners for a year or two and then
set out TO look for better and faster
team
Before leaving Middleport Kauff
heard that the manager of the Par
kersburg team OF the Virginia Valley
league was in need of several good
ball players. Kauff headed straight for |
Parkersburg, and after telling the |
manager of the club that he was |
regular high-class ball player he was |
given tTyout.
kaun began as a shortstop with that /
team and played in that position until !
The manager sent him in to pitch one t
lay. His work in the box was good I

ager of the team that year. and was
sent to Bridgeport. But under the OPP
tional agreement, he was recalled IN
the fall The next year he reported
to the Highlanders and was again sent
back for more experience. This time
he was RELOCATED 10 Hartford, where
he played in 1912 and 1913
While with Hartford Kauff set the
Connecticut league afre with his great
batting and fielding. He was easily
the Ty Cobb of this league and when
ever Hartford played in another city
the fans turned out in drOves TO watch
him perform The Ind I1apolis cIuD
of the American association put IN
bid for him in 1912. but as two other
players were drafted from this cluo'
he was retained by Hartford.
In 1914 indianapolis again put IN a
draft for Kauff and this time they Sc
cured him. But Kauff never playeu
for the American association team, Ior
he signed a three-year contract WIN
the indianapolis club of the Federal
league But before Kauff signed with
the Feds. McGraw, hearing OF ms
great ability. agreed to buy him. DuI
he stuck TO the Feds.
Kauff's playing last year was the
sensation of the Federal league and II
was his great work with the stick ana
