Kauff's Poor Work
is Big Surprise of
the Past Season.

Perhaps the biggest surprise in
tho National league averages for
1916 was the showing Of Benny
Kauff at the bat. The shining star
of the Federal league was expected
TO make merry at the expense of
the National league pitchers. but
failed dislually. In ali probability
Kauff was more surprised and dis
eusted with his work than his
most loyal supporters. Kaufr in
1918 had led the Federal league
with an average OF .344. 1t was
freely predicted that he would be
one. two, three among the National
league hitters. During the winter
he was touted to the skies. yet his
average for the last season was
only .264 Kauf insists that over
anxiety. caused by an effort to
live up to ali the fiattering things
that were printed about him, was
his greatest trouble. lie expects

A lot of fans are under the inn

opinion, although Walters record
in 1915 in no way compares with
some of his former pitching efforts.

DROPS TO DEATH AS

Lieut.. Saufley Falls As Machine
 Is 5000 Feet Up

Pensacola, Fla, June 10.-Falling on Santa Rosa Island from a height of probably 5000 feet. Lieut.. R. C.. Saufiey, instructor in aviation at the naval aeronautical station. was killed yesterday afternoon He was trying to break the worlds hydroaer- Oplane endurance record and had been in the air for eight hours when the rudder broke, causing him to be thrown free as the machine made a sudden dive.
 It was known that he would try for a new record and many persons in Pensacola and at the navy yard were watching his machine. Though he was the most daring f1ier in the aerone utical corps, he was known as a careful pilot, and this accident as the one last Wednesday when Lieut.. James V. Rockwell was killed, was due entirely to the breaking of one of the most important parts of the machine.
 Officers were on the lookout when he dropped and within a few minutes the body was taken to the aeronau- tical station.
 On March 29 Lieut.. Saufiey ascend ed to a height of 16,0 ,070 feet, which at the time was the worlds altitude record for hydroaeroplanes He made the navy endurance record on Tues and five minutes.
 This is the fifth fatal accident in the naval aeronautical corps and the

LYMAN IN TEARS AS
 SENTENCE IS PASSED
Convicted SWindler Is Sent to At
 lanta for IS Months

New York, June 10.-Dr. John Grant Lyman was sentenced by Fed eraI Judge Wolverton yesterday to eighteen months in Atlanta peniten- tiarv for fraudulent use of the mails. Lyman will be allowed to remain in the Tombs for thirty days to aid the receiver in bankruptcy who took charge of Lyman's financial affairs.
 The suggestion that he stay here to help straighten out matters for the creditors of John H. Putnam & Co.,, the name used by Lyman in his stock dealings, came from Lyman himself He said he preferred to go to Atlanta at once. but felt it his duty to stay here, although life in the Tombs was breaking down his health and would mean his death if he were forced to live there eleven months longer" He asserted it would be sufficient com pensation, however, to be able to pay back his creditors dollar for dollar.
 Assistant United States Attorney Stanton told the court he preferred to let the final decision rest with the re- ceiver in bankruptcy, whereupon a representative of the latter replied that Lyman could be of invaluable
  recover $35,000 which the receiver had failed to locate.
 When Lyman was called in for sen tence he emerged from the strong room with one arm full of law books and memoranda. His wife, who was at his side all during the long trial, was waiting just inside the court room and Lyman encircling her with his free arm, drew her gently to his side for a moment and then hurried to the bar.
 After making several unsuccessful motions to have the verdict against him set aside Lyman launched into remarkable plea to be sentenced to some form of work so that he could support the members of his family who, he said, were in destitute cir cumstances and bound to become a public charge within a fortnight. There were tears in his eyes and his voice shook as he spoke of his in fant son who had been brought into
