There was a report in circulation in
New York Saturday that the Giants
had purchased Benny Kauff from
Harry Sinclair for $4,000 The Giants
owners have not confirmed this yet.
There seems to be little doubt that
Kauff will eventually land with the

Rourkc Notifies Farrell.

O'Rpurkc Notifies Farrell.
President O'Rourke last Saturday
mailed a registered letter to John H.
Farrell, the National association sec
rotary, in which he said that the
Eastern circuit had organized before
January II, as ordered by the COM
rnittee. In spite of the fact that the
hearing had been postponed until
January "a it was thought best to let
the committee know the Eastern was
ready on the original date.
Jim Clarl1in, who fooHsh1y threw
away his Hartford franchise in the
Eastern association, is still kidding
himself that Messrs. BigeIow and r.
win, who were awarded the Hartford
club, can't get a park in the, Capital
City. Clarkin met Irwin before the
Eastern meeting in Hartford last
Friday and tried to scare the new
conner out of the field, but Irwin did
not scareworth a cent.
Clarkin declared it was a shame
that the Eastern association was try
ing to deprive him of his property
and Irwin asked him if he hadn't been
offered the franchise again this year.
C1arl<in admitted that thereby show
ing that he had no further claim to
consideration. Then Clarkin told r.
win he would spend $4,000 to fight
the newcom ers by putting an indie
pendent club in Hartford. All of
which Irwin received with a smile.
