The doughty little centerlielder of
the Giants started dreaming of play

at Keystone, o.. and he now stands
on the threshold of realizing his
fondest hopes.
As a bush Lacquer Kauff set John
McGraw on a pedestal as his idol.
To play for McGraw was better than
being president of the United States,
there isn't a better satisfied ball
player i'm the game.
A star i'm the Federal league. Kauff
came through the baseball war with
more publicity than any other play
er got out of it. vet he was mis-
quoted and misinterpreted when he
broke into the National league, and
because of this ne did not shine with
his accustomed brilliance last sea-
son.
But now an is changed. Kaum is
fielding i'm great form. and his hit
ting has improved 20 the point where
ne bids fair 10 give all rivals a hot
battle for the batting championship
OF his league this season.
KaUh is not the most brilliant
player i'm the business. He isn't a

BENNY KA UFF

ing since he came under the shelter
of John McGraw's wing.
Kauff was born at Middleport, o..
Jan. >. 1891. and he started his ca
reer several leagues beneath the sur
face as a coal miner. Mining coal
was all right i'm its way, but work
ing beneath the ground soon palled
on young Kauff. and as he had play
ed ball at odd times he decided to
take up the game as profession.
Kauf's father objected strongly 10
this move He said Benny would
never get anywhere in baseball, and
anyway baseball wasn't half as sub
stantial and steady as coal mining.
But Benny refused 10 listen. He got
berth with a semi-pro team and
started out 10 make his own diving.
Soon he earned more playing ball
than he could have earned digging
coal and Pa Kauff began to look
on the brighter side of IT,
So when Benny got an offer to
play with Parkersburg in the Cotton
States league Pa Kauff consented,
and Ben was the happiest youth in
Ohio. lie played out the season or
1910 with the Parkersburg club and
was drafted by the Yankees. Later
he was released to Bridgeport where
he both pitched and played the out
field lie came back TO the Yanks
again in 1912. but still lacked polish
and was farmed to Rochester. which
club in turn sent him to Brockton.
From Brockton Kaun went to the
Hartford club and played there two
years. He was drafted by the In
dianapOlis A. y. club in the fall of
1913. but refused 10 report the fol-
lowing spring and jumped 10 the In
dianapolis Federals under Bill Phil
lips.
In the Federal league Kauff was
the outstanding star. He made good
with a capital &c" and when the
Feds broke up McGraw was glad of
the chance TO grab him for the tidy
sum of $4,000.

Storm Centres Quiet
Berlin Claims to Have Brought
Down Thirteen Allied
Airplanes

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The West front
continued relatively quiet to-day there
being practically no fighting on the
Ypres and Aisne fronts, the two storm
centres of the battle line. Raiding
operations were continued by the Brit
ish east of Arras, especially north Of
the Scarpe River. while the struggle
between the French and Germans in
upper Alsace showed no signs Of
abating
The Berlin official statement reports
tonight strong attacks by Petaln's
troops in upper Alsace, but declares
they were flung back without gaining
ground. Paris mentions successful
raid near Seppois, in the same region,
and the failure of German movements
north of Chaume Wood. IN the Nerdun
sector, and at Arracourt, in Lorraine,
severe losses being inflicted on the
enemy. Successful surprise attacks
were made by the French in Avocourt
Wood and in the Argonne, Paris adds.
In air operations the Germans claim
TO have brought down thirteen hostile
machines. British ayators bombarded
the big airdromes at Gontrode and st.
Denis Westrem and destroyed one Ger-
man airplane and captive balloon,
