According to Secretary John B. Fos-
ter of the Giants. the New York club
has a contract with Kauff for 1916.
1917 and 1918, land we expect him to
report to Manager McGraw next Sun
day night. AS far as ! know. kauff
has no grievance. He wants to play
ball with the Giants. and you can say
that he will be fairly treated"
Kauff declared in January that he
would not report to McGraw unless he
Giants and at least similar amount
from Sinclair But Benny probably has
changed his mind about this.
Though the Willard Moran battle is
to be of but ten rounds duration it is
getting as much publicity as if it were
to be finish fight. 1t is. of course. of
interest to those who follow the fistic
sport in New York to get a glimpse at
Willard in action. He has not appeared
there since his victory over Jack John
son. and there is another element
which wants to be present when COM
paratively little fellow like Moran
puts it over on the champion.
That the battle will prove big
financial success there is not the slight
est doubt. The boxing commission is
taking every precaution to make the
bout square one, and Charley White,
who will act as referee, will see to it
that the men put forth their best eff
forts in every one of the rounds. or
there won't be any purse paid and the
public will be handed back it's money.
The commission will be in absolute
control, and everything is to be regular
so that the sport will not suffer by any
hippodroming or manipulation.
Christy Mathewson took his first work
out. under the supervision of Manager
McGraw. at Marlin Springs, Tex, yes
terday and favorable reports have been
sent out as a result. Matty, however
refuses to express an opinion as to
whether he will be able to pitch this
year. He says 1t will take some time for
him to be able to tell whether he will be
able to stand the training. notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is his left shoulder
which gives him all the trouble and
caused him to encounter the worst sea-
son of his career in the last campaign.
It is needless to say that McGraw will
give Matty every attention, for the Giants
chances will be slim, indeed, this year if
he should not come through.

Officials Are Cleared of
Ship Purchase Charges;
Roosevelt Is Denounced
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Jan. 3. - The
charges circulated during the last
session of Congress that Administra-
tion officials acted in the interest of
foreign business firms in urging the
passage of the government ship pur-
chase bill were held to be baseless in
majority and minority reports filed
to-day by the Senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate them. Both
reports also found the shipping in
terests blameless of illegal activity in
opposition to the measure.
The majority denounced Theodore
Roosevelt for failing to appear be-
fore the committee to testify concern
ing his published assertion that Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan
chad endeavored in the interest of
certain foreign business firms to Sc
cure for the United. States the power
to purchase the interned ships of one
of the belligerents."
Senator Sutherland presented the
minority report for himself, and
Senator Penrose. I'VE do not con-
cur" it said, insofar as the report
defends the bill itself nor insofar as it
insists there would be no impropriety
In the purchase of the belligerents'
idle ships. We believe the bill a
thoroughly bad piece of legislation
and ascertain that to have purchased
the boats now seeking security in Am
erican harbors would have developed
trouble for the United States"
