ing things to himself. II Benny had

pulverized Dauss. and so he would
every pitcher whom he faces If he only
would have enough patience to wait
him out
Kauff is a fiery little player-a game
one-and is always in every contest to
win. He perhaps is over anxious. He
fully appreciates how much is expect
ed Of him every time he goes to bat
owing to the large amount Of pub
licity he has manufactured for him
self by this freedom in talk that has
appeared to many as boastful egotism.
But Benny has been misjudged In 4
way He has talked loudly of him
self and what he will do but It has
not always been done for publication
or to make him appear as ridiculous
as some OF the remarks do that he has
been quoted as saying.
one wants to hear him talk and then
one will have an entirely different I'm
preston of him, his character and his
disposition. He is really lilable fell
low, one who makes friends and holds
them. He is not offensive in his boast
ing and he convinces one that he means
every word he says. He is ball play
er. too, every inch Of him. HIS exu-
berance Is due solely to his love of
baseball and his desire to excel Ty
Cobb, the only man I ever knew with
out a weakness as a ball player.
That Benny will do better batting
against National league pitchers than
he has against the Texas league box
men. / am convinced, for with the eX-
ception of Dauss Of the Tigers he has
hit all the other pitchers Of Hughey

'BECK'S" AMEN CORNER

PESULTS of the international Y.
N. c. A. Hexathlon are mighty
slow in being announced but it is
evident that the unusually heavy
entry in the boys events have
"swamped" the judges.
x
CHAMPION Jess Willard is to
make his debut as a second at
KenOsha, Wis, tonight. He will be
in Jack Hemple's corner when
Hemple meets Lee Nelson. There is
a chance that Packy Mcfarland will
be prevailed upon to act as second
for Nelson. Hemple is very pOpu-
lar in FL Paso and his friends will
wish him luck tonight.
FRANK CHANCE has his Angels
off to a good start in the Coast
league but it isn't always the good
start that wins. You'll notice that
the Salt Lake team is also winning
its games.
BARNEY 0LDFIELD, in a personal
letter, takes exception to the
assertion that he is a baseball mag
nate. 81 wanted to be-" writes the
speed merchant, "but Frank Chance
gObbled up all the stock in the Los
Angeles club which was offered.
However, Pm pulling for my old
friend to win" Barney will pass
through FL Paso about the end Of
this month, en- route to New York,
where he races on May 10.
PILLY MISKE, who got the popu-
lar decision over Jack Dillon at
Duluth several weeks ago, is to have
another crack at the Hoosier and
they meet in a ten round bout at
St. Paul on April IA.
NOW that the Pass City Gun club
has two modern traps in oper-
alton, there is some talk of tourna-
ments and it is likely that a couple
of important events will be pulled
off by the local club during the
spring.

YOU viii be helping both ANA
teur and professional baseball if
you patronize the Commercial league
openiry at Rio Grande park on Sun
day. John McCloskey's share of the
gate, for rent of the grounds, will be
used by him toward the expenses of
getting the team for the Rio Granda
league under way.
TULSA, Okla, is all excited and, as
the backwoodsmen say, "het up"
over the bout between @GunbOat"
Smith and big Carl Morris which is
scheduled for Friday night. You see
the Tulsa fans don't read fistic
opinions written outside their state
so they don't know yet that both
Morris and Smith are has beens."

lew YORK. April 6.-Benny
M Kauffs batting has not been
i consistent or anywhere near up
to the record he established as the
leading hitsmith Of the Federal league
in I914-15.
The reason for it is Benny himself
He hits at any ball that he thinks is
pitched within reach Of his bat But
Benny st bat thinks wrong many
times He makes the most terrific
swipes at almost every ball and con-
sequently is a comparatively easy vic
tim for a change OF pace The wise
pitchers whom Benny has faced this
spring have quickly tumbled to this
failing and feed him on everything eX-
cept good balls.
What is the use Of pitchers pitching
the ball over II they know that they
can make a batsman bite at any old
thing? It IS not a fault for a player
to be a free hitter, but one should be
reasonable about II.
I have seen Larry Lajoie make a
home run off what would have been a
Wild pitch had he not hit the ball, but
Larruping Larry had a much longer
reach than the short and stubby Kauff,
and he would lay for high ball on
the outside and whale II for keeps.
Why, 1 remember Lajoie making cir
cult clout when the pitcher was try
ing to pass him purposely, but Larry
was a rangey hitter.
Uses Poor Judgment.
7 have seen Benny snap singles TO
left by reaching for an out-ball, but
he Will try TO make the same Kind Of
a hit by striking at a low in-curYe
that Is bending around his shins. A
slow ball following a speedy one viii
tempt him every time, and as he swings
Just as viciously at the dinky ones as
at the the swift ones, be fails to meet
the hall souarelv by not timing II prop
erly He has hit several balls on the
nose that have not been base hits but
he has fooled on many more that he
has picked.
A iegitimateIy free hitter keeps not
only the pitcher guessing, but also all
the players behind him. A too free
hitter becomes the pitchers meat for
such batsmen are easily fooled.
Now. Dauss. Of the Detroit Tigers,
is a very heady hurler. He does not
appear 10 have 30 very much, but he
can nut the ball Just where he intends
TO. and has a most effective change OF
pace and a little curve. It does not
require a wide bender to be the most
puzzlinr Of hooks. Any pitcher who
can get the little, quick kick to his
ball has the real something that will
fool a batter much easier than the old
round house. wide curve that can be
seen all the way from his hand to the
plate. 1t is a case OF the hand deceiv-
ing the eye.
The Fndeawny. For Instance.
Mathewson's famous fadeaway does
not curve enough TO be perceptible to
the spectators, who may be directly be-
hind the plate. The ball just takes that
little quivery. kinl1y drop and shoots
iu toward the batter's shins, but II Is
enough and just enough to deceive.
Wen. Kauff could not do a thing
with Dauss, and would walk back to

FRANK CHANCE became obstinate
when St. Joseph put in a claim
for the services of Claude Graham,
late of the FL Paso Army league,
and made a contest with the national
board, in which he lost. But as late

Peoria wouldn't take Graham on an
optional agreement, he would send

of the Northwestern league, which is

the spring training trip and his hit
ting has been a feature. He smashed
out two clean doubles in last Mon

co far as known, Jack Bliss has
not yet signed up with any base
ball team for the coming season and
the veteran may make good his
threat to retire to his orange grove
unless he landed with a class AA
club. However, there's still chance
that he may come to FL Paso and
coach some of the young pitchers
who will be tried ont by the Mack
men.
