Kauff has made good as a Giant he
has been with the outfit for two
months and John McGraw has decided
that the $4,000 paid for him wasn't a

drawing card, but he is playing a great
all-arOund game.
The macing mark Of the 1915 star OF
the Feds still is below -300-but Kauff
is due for higher levels. He has been
handicapped up to now By the fact
that he has faced strange pitching in
nearly all of the games during the

Kauffs actions on a ball field
4 Y are far different than is mag
fned by those who have not seen him
disporting on the diamond When We
say that Kauff voluntarily makes him
self the most inconspicuOus member Of
the Giants, it may sound like fiction
But il isn't; it's fact
Having been fed with Kauffisms all
during the chill winter and during the
early part of this none too gentle
springtime. all OF US gained the idea
that Kauff would be the superlative as
a grandstand player But we were sur
prised by the modesty q hauIt IN the
first game in which he figured-and
the surprise has REQUIRED in all the
other combats in which kauff has per
formed. Honus Wagner and Nap Laloie
are no more humble in action than is

Kauff Does His Best.
Kauff. all during the progress Of a
game, seems obliviOus of the fact that
thousands are watching him; Kauff on
the ball field does nothing else but
play the game as best he can He
plays ii with an earnestness that IS
surprising. When he walks to the
plate he never turns around to gaze
upon the folks in the stands. Often
out amid cheers for some play he made
either abat or adeld- Did ne slow down
as he Jogged to the bench so as to
drink in the cheers2 So as to pose?
Not at all
Doesn't Pose AT All.
Whether Kauff comes in to the bench
amid cheers or uncheered, he always
maintains the same little trot: he al
ways comes hustling in, seemingly
anxious to get within the shelter Of the
dueout as soon as possible Such an
action is the last one would expect from
Kauff, because it bespeaks excessive
modesty. Yet in Just that way Kauff
has conducted himself and so has
shocked-but in an agreeable way
not only the New York fans, who ex-
pected to see in him the greatest poser
in the games history
hauff Had Press Agent
The contrast between the Kauff who
IS and the Kauff we were led to expect
because Of the Kauffisms is explained
BY the fact that Kauff himself neve-
uttered all the boasts credited TO him
As we pointed out in a previous article,
they were framed by a press agent OF
KauffE, whose remuneration depended
largely upon the result Of his work

with Eauff whereby he was TO get a
