Blame Kauft's Agent For Boasts
-I- -:II:- -:T:- -:H; -:D:-
He Framed The Loud Self-Praise
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

"HEY all look great as they toe
the mark and wait for the start
Il er's gun. April is the month Of
happy dreams for every big league fan
in the country, but in May and In
JUnetime come the rude awakenings-
Giants Falsely Accused.
Some of our brethren in the outlying
districts boldly-but erroneously-as-
sert that Benny Kauff has been used
by the Giant owners as the goat OF a
gigantic press agenting scheme we
fear that John Foster is going to be-
come terribly vexed If he reads the
sentiments Of some of the inland pap
ers John secretaries for the Giants
and il provokes him nightly when
anyone says anything about his ball
club that isn't true. And such state
ments aren't.
II John sees what one Of the south
ern papers had to say about the kauff
case, Wen wager there'll be duel
eggs at 40 PAGES. In part the article
1T seems to be generally admitted
that most of the stuff pulled about
Benny Kauffs Boosting and his hold
out was just plain bunk for advertis
ing purposes. One critic goes so far
as to say some Of IL actually was re-
hearsed before being staged,
1T seems that the press agents or
the Giants, who, in some cases, are
even managing editors of New York
city papers, had been told that the
Yankees were getting more than their
share Of publicity, and that it was up
to them to put over something in print
for the Giants And Boastful Benny
was selected as the subject"
Real Facts in Kauff Case.
Offhand, we will say that the chap
who penned that article is wrong
quite wrong. The statement that some
Of the managing editors Of New York
are hired press agents Of the Giants,
IS preposterous. As far as our infor-
nation on the subject goes-and that
is a fairly noticeable distance-the
Giants have no hired press agents In
New NOfk-Or elsewhere The pub
hcity they get is not inspired.
The real situation in the Kauff case
Is that Kauff himself had a press
agent That was during the time he
was holding out His press agent also
acted as his manager" He had an
agreement with Kauff whereby he was

could shake down" the Giants and
Harry Sinclair for a bonus of $4,000
each.
So this manager" set to work. with
kautfs sanction, to flood the papers
win kauffisms. He figured that by so
doing he would make Kauff so ia
nous that the Giants and Sinclair
would be forced to agree to Kauffs
terms. Sinclair didnt-but the Giants
did come through" for something like

ONE little slip Of the typewriter

the item about Sundays motorcycle

the run to Columbus was made by

similar time.

, manager" as his bit"
Kauff Okld Boosting Statements.
Kauff never uttered all the absurd
and boastful statements credited to
him. OF course, he unburdened him
self personally of many bits of praise
as to his own prOwess and he never
has been bashful about voicing his
diamond deeds But the majority of
those Kauff interviews" were crea-
tions Of the nimble brain of his man
ager." Their publication, however,
was sanctioned by Kauff.
The truth Of our assertion that
Kauffs personal press agent, not the
Giant owners. inspired the publicity,
can be found in a review of these later
day developments. The advertising"
of Kauff was done while Kauff was
agent When Shrinking Violet" left
New York to join the Giants in the
Marlin camp, he parted company with
his manager" press agent.
No Recent Extravaganza.
Since Shrinking Violet" actually
donned a Giant uniform. no boastful
and eXtravagant Kauff statements
have issued forth. If the Giant owners
had promoted a Kauff publicity cam
abandon It as soon as the youth be-
came a real member OF the team?
Wouldn't that be the logical time to
begin til
We owe no allegiance to the Giants
nor do we feel any enmity toward
Kauff But in the spirit of fair pIav.
we feel it our duty TO state the real
to us from the man who frankly adj
mits that he was Kauffs ''manager''
and, as such, engineered the publicity
campaign.

Uses to surpass all previous records
both in number Of meets and stars who

Reports from the coaches Of a num-

all agree that the material both in
quality and quantity Is considerably
above the average standard and that
a number of records are likely to be
broken during the coming competitive

That the struggle for points and
prizes will be unusually keen this sea

open the eastern track season, has at
tracted a larger entry than ever be-

the same lineup as a year ago. Manager
Moran believes that the Phillies will re-
peat their winning performance, but
many critics disagree with him.
Are Braves the "CIasss"
The Boston Braves, runners-up TO the
Phillies last season, are considered by
many experts to be the class of the
National league this year. The team
has been strengthened with the addition
Of several former Federal league play
ers.
Brooklyn. which wound up the 1915
race in third place, appears to be fully
as efficient as a year ago. Manager
Robinson predicts that the club will be
a pennant factor this year from the
very start.
The winning ability Of the Chicago
club which finished fourth a year ago,
is uncertain. Joe Tinker has been vail
antly trying to produce winning COM
bination from the amalgamated Cubs
and Chicago Federals, but has found
some of his veterans lacking in the
speed he desires.
Looks for First Division.
Pittsburg is another club which
started the season with new manager
at the helm. Jimmy Callahan expects
his team to finish in the first division.
Miller Higgins. manager Of the st.
Louis Nationals, holders Of sixth place
last year, predicts a good season for
his team If his infield will stand the
strain.
Cincinnati Is picked by many to make
the best showing OF any of the western
clubs. The Reds have secured a num-
Der Of former Federals since last sea-
son, when the team finished in seventh
place, including Hal Chase.
From last place a year ago to a first
division berth is the prediction made by
the supporters of the New York club. |
The Giants undoubtedly have been
strengthened since last season. but it |
appears unlikely that manager McGraw |
can come back and make a successful !
bid for the pennant this year
Just what effect the absence Of Iris |
Speaker from the worlds champions /
will have on the seasons play is prob |
lematical- The management Of the Red /
SOx seems to be well satisfied that |
Clarence Walker will fill the outfield |
vacancy satisfactorily. With these two |
changes and the addition OF Sam Ag- |
new to the staff of catchers, the playing |
strength Of the club is as formidable as |
it was a year ago.
New SOx InfIeIder.
Detroit and Chicago which finished 1
second and third. respectively. last year, |
will enter the present campaign with /
veteran teams, although both have sew
eral promising young players in reserve.
The most important change in the line
up OF the White SoX is the shift Of Geo. i
Weaver to third base. this being made
possible by the ability in manager
opinion, Of Zeb Terry, the
Los Angeles recruit. to take Weaver's
place at shOrtstop.
Clarke Griffith. one Of the keenest Of
is satisfied, that the mem
Ders Of his team, the Washington Ameri-
cans, will this year not be troubled with
ascension.

(By Review Leased Wire

LONDON. July 2S.-Walter Hines Page. the Americl ambassador. has cabled to the state deparmen, at Washington the text of a letter from the foreign office regarding the feed ing of the civilian population of ter ritory occupied by the Germans. The letter says:
 His majesty's government desires to settle. once for all, the whole ques- tion of the importation of foOdstuffs into territory in the occupation of the enemy. The foreign office makes the following proposal.
 NIf the German and Austro- Hun garian governments will reserve wholly to the civil populations of oc- cuDied territory the entire produce of the soil Y and if they will admit to those territories neutrals selected by the president of the United States -s;..h full powers to control the dis ,ribution of food to the whole popu- lation and to transfer from one terri tory to another surplus stocks exist, ing in one and lacking in the other, and if the president of the United States will undertake the selection of these agents, his majesW's gov ernment will give them every as sistance and admit into such terri tories any imported food supplies necessary to supplement native stocks and afford the population a fair subsistence ration as long as 1t is satisfied that the conditions are scrupulously ovserving their agree ment. -
 If this offer is refused or a reply delayed until the harvest in the oc- cupied territory begins to be gath cred. his majesty's government will hold them responsible and will exact such reOaration as can be secured by the allied arms or enforced by the opinion of the neutral world for every civilian life lost through insufficient nourishment in the territory occu- pied.'
