the gossips McGraw good naturedly allowed
Kauf to have his own way until the ss5 900
celebrity began TO slump I'm batting and tan
gle things up on the bases Then Kauff, 80
the story goes, was ordered TO stop hitting
at bad balls and TO play strict attention to
the base-running signals.
I've forgotten more about baseball than
you'll ever learn was Kaufrs reported
shot at McGraw, who finally notified Benny
that II he failed TO obey instructions he
would be compelled to pay a fine Of 500
Kauff came back with a threat to desert the
Giants, II is said IL SO much as one dime
was deducted from his salary.
Enter, Joe Tinker
Tinker learned of this supposed friction
while the Cubs were playing at the Polo
Grounds week ago yesterday. He met
Kauff on the field and Benny is reported
to have said
"If you can make a deal for me I'll pay
you personally $4,000 as a reward. No
wonder / can't hit like did in the Federal
League. Ill never be any good under Nc
Graw."
The real trouble with Kauff is an in
fated opinion of his playing ability. In
the Federal League the pitchers used a
rubber ball, with the result that Kauff
Lee Magee and other players of ordinary
skill rolled up tremendous batting averages.
Kauff Is Disappointed
Kaufr actually believed that he would
lead the National League in batting this
year as a result of his stick-work in the
Federal circuit But with real pitchers de
livering n corkcenter bali, Kauff has dis
covered to his dsmay that he isn't in the
class with such batsmen us Robertson, Dau-
bert, Chase, Wagner, Wheat and other 800
hitters in the National League
If Kauff would follow McGraw's instruc-
tions, there is no doubt that his batting
would improve Kauff possesses natural
baseball ability, but he knows very little
about inside methods. McGraw probably
would have traded Kauff instead of Rousch
to the Reds as part of the Herzog deal II
the Giants had not paid $4,000 to Sinclair
for Kauffs services.

our own William T. Tlden. I'd, is. for
the first time In his tennis career, cunning
for big game Since he developed into a
flrst-class player n few years ago Tilden
has confined his efforts along tournament
lines to local affairs and resort champion
ships. and in a few short seasons he has
gathered in a handsome collection of
trophies.
Tlden went to SeabrIght last week, and
at once entered the hall Of fame. Critics
who had never heard of the brilliant but
erratic Phladelphian, sat up and took no.
Of Willis Il. Davis when he surprised the
eastern tennis world by defeating George
NJ. Church in the Sleepy Hollow final,
Tildens service, It has been said, is the
fastest in the world. Although he does
serve n terrific ball Davis's first serve
averages n little speedier than Tilden's, but
the latter's second is better than his rivals.
But 1t is not alone on service that TildeD
shines. When right, Tlldens only weak
ness is overhead. He drives well from
deep court with either hand. and has a
dashing net attack. He is however, prone
to reach the clouds when things go wrong,
If he can overcome this failing the Quaker

in Two Straight Falls

Zbyszko, the Polish champion wrestler,
defeated Frank Shultz, German, at Central
Park last night before n big crowd. The
struggle for the first fall was fast and ex-
citing, and ShutE gave the Polish champion
n hard contest. Gradually, however, the
latter wore the German down. and in Just 1s
minutes and 2 seconds he had Shultz's
shoulders pinned to the mat
The rough work which Shultz had to go
through in the first struggle sapped his
vitality and left him pretty weak. for
Zbyszko had little difficulty in winning the
second fall and the match. In minutes
and 40 seconds the Pole had the German
nattened to the mat.
The preliminary contest was between
Renato Gardni and Frank s. Leavitt. These
men were pretty well matched and the
struggle between them was fast and exciting
while il lasted. At the end of 16 minutes
and 10 seconds Gardini was declared the
winner.

Automobile Squeaks,

One frequently hears a series of
squeaking noises when driving a car,
and upon careful examination the trou-
BILE cannot be found. Nearly always
the squeaks are caused by the body
bolts and nuts loosening up a little.
The body, being an extremely heavy
part of the car, has a natural tendency
to work loose from the chassis frame
and for this reason secure locking
means should always be provided on
the various nuts.--Popular Mechanics.
