New York, March Benny Kauffs
position in baseball at this time is one
hat eXCites no envy. He must make
good with a whoOp in Giant uni
form CT he'll be the most scOfed at
player in the history of the pastime.
KauT has boosted so often and so
huently about his prowess that even
a good showing in 1916 will not save
him from paintings" He has led the
folks to believe that he's the greatest
player that ever hOofed onto a dia-
mOnd-and he must deliver.
II Kauh hits far beyond 300, runs
bases a la Cobb. and fields with the
best in the game. he will be forgiven
for his egotism. But should he fail;
should he hit uder 300 and be stop
ped in most Of his pilfering attempts;
should he make errors now and then,
he'll become the target for the cat
calls and boots and Kisses of the
bIeachers and the grand stands.
KauT, by his seIf-sung praise. has
gambled with unpOpUlarity-a desper-
ate gamble.
Kaun Gets $4,000 Only.
The idea that KauT is one of the
highest priced men in the game is err
rOneous. There are at least thirty
other players in the majors who are
drawing more money than the Shrink
ing Violet
KauT was the real star of the de-
fUnct Federal circuit. yet his contract
called for only $4,000 year There
were at least fifteen players in the
league that were drawing salaries far
in excess of Kauffs.
And $4,000 per year is what the
Giants are going to pay Shrinking
Violet" during 1915 and 1917. No mat
ter II he hits for a million he won't
get any more than $4,000. His con-
tract is Of iron-clad nature.
Bonus TotaIed $4,000.
Kaun's full demands as 10 bonuses
were not granted He asked $4,000
from the Giant owners and an addi-
tional $4,000 from Harry Sinclair who
sold him to the New York club for
$4,000. He didn't get a sou from Sin
clair and only S3,50O from the Giant
owners. according to the man who
engineered the "hoId-up."
OF the $500 bonus that the Giants
passed over, Kaun only got a tribe
more than 1880. The rest was d.
vidsd among lawyers and others who
had assisted Kaun in his demands Of
bonus or no play"
Adding Kauff's bonus to his salary
it means that his total income from
ball playing in 1915 and 1917 will be
sl5,ooo-or $3.50 per season.
other Big Salaries.
Ty Cobb's salary is reported to be
in the neighborhood Of $4,000. The
aged Honus Wagner will get 81 1000
this season LaJoie's contract calls for
something like $4,000. Joe Tinker gets
$4,000. Johnny Evers $4,000. and Ed
konetchy. with the Pittfsds last year
will get $500 from the 1916 and 1911
Braves.
Shrinking Violet" wishes every one
to know that he's far better gar
dener than iris Speaker ever hoped
to be. yet Speaker will get a salary
well beyond that Of Kauns. The star
OF the Red Sox has been offered SO, 600
and the chances are that he will ac-
cept despite the fact that he's baking
at the cut from s1s,50O of last year
and the season before.

About Matches.

Every boy and girl in the west knows
who Lewis and Clark were and what
great work they accomplished for the
country, but they may not know that
when they were starting on their great
journey of discovery DR.. Saugrain OF
st. Louis made them what was called
at that time chemical matches. He
showed them how they could make
phosphorus for themselves, and you no
doubt know the story Of how these
matches affected the Indians, who
would not sell the "wapato" until they
saw the miracle of the matches, and
then they gladly gave it.
Before these chemical matches We're
made it was necessary to draw fire by
means of flint and steel, and it was of
ten very hard task to do it, so fires
seldom went out, but were fed con
stantly or covered so that they could
blaze up in short time.

Of greater magnitude and the little
lone star thought to itself that no one
saw it even to envy It, Down on the
earth it looked so much easier to get
into group and have companions, so
one day when the earth was swinging
over from dark to daylight the little
star did not try to preserve its equilib'
rum, but just dropped down, down,
until it came to earth. 1t fell so fat
that 1t fell deep down into the earth,
but some star seeds ut its heart shot
up from the earth, changed through
the influence Of the soil, and there
stood a beautiful star flower. and new

own kind.
