KAUFF HAS MORE INDIVIDUALITY THAN
 BURNS OF GIANTS

New York, May 5-Personality cuts a big figure in baseball. The old Ath- letics formed one of the greatest teams of all time, and yet few fans grew wildly enthusiastic about them. There were other teams in their own league that outdrew them. This was because to a certain extent they were colorless club. They had little in- dividuality. They didn't tear into op- position like a racing car, sending 1t smashing and flying in fragments Rather they crushed it with power, -slowness and sureness of a steam rol- Her.
 They were so certain and method ical that their play appeared mechan- ical The team was like some huge, perfect running and perfectly run ma chine. The very uniforms added to this impression They made all the men look more or less alike. The present Giants are considered by many to be as great team as the old Mackmen, but there is noth- ing impersonal about them. They are very human. That Is why their admirers are willing to fight for them and their enemies hate them with a flaming hate. Each of them has some peculiarity WHICH SLdnpS n1I1 anu ulSllHS OlSIl6s him from the others. They are pow erful and aggressive, but they have | weaknesses that are apparent to al
 beholders. If they get the idea tha1 they can beat a certain pitcher they usually can't
 Just at present Jack Coonbs hax | their number. 1t isn't that they give | up when he goes to the mound. It l. their very ~eagerness to wa1lop hin | that causes them often to hit at ba6 balls and to make errors when he fl | the opposing pitcher. With them { game is not merely job to be com
 p1eted with quiet efficiency. It no | only is a battle but a sort of a free | for-au and each man goes to it witI all his heart. That is why they en l thuseat the rooters to the point of fight
 among themselves.
 | The personality of players is lik
 the personality of teams. Georg
 Burns and Benny Kauff are outf1eld
 CTS on the same club. They are pret | ty close to the same size. Burn
 probably is the best left fielder in tn
 game today, yet until he makes great catch or a smashing hit fey
 remember that, he; is in the game. I
 never is possible to forget that Kauf
 is on the grounds.
 1 In his one year in the majors h
 has received as much publicity a Burns has gathered in all his life
 That is due not to ability, but to per
 sonality. Burns would be an idea man to defend a last redoubt l Benny were surrounded by an over
 whelming foe he would gallop out c
 his trench and charge, and by hi
 very audacity might cut his wa through. If Burns had the spotligh
 ability of Cobb and Kauff, rooter
 might. now be arguing as to whethe or not he was the greatest outfielde in the game.

Collegian Lawry Is
 Likely to Be Second
 Baseman for Athletics

Connie Mack still has his second base problem on his hands. After considering the matter one way and another he has finally come to the conclusion that Otis Lawry, the col lege boy from Maine, is the man for the position. Anyway, he is trying him out Meanwhile, young Grover is being held in reserve. tLawry is a fast fielder and remarkable sprinter
 Lawry is a ten second man and uses his head as well as his feet. The only question is that of hitting. Law ry will have to show what he can do in that respect.if he wants to stay on the 1ob-.e..o.. ..- 2. {. ,-.c-.... z

Chief Bender Had
 Fine Diamond Career

Charles Albert Bender, better known as "Chief' Bender, one of the most brilliant pitchers ever produced. is celebrating his birthday today. Of course. as everybody knows, the Chief" has quit the game, but that is no reason why he should be for gotten. Bender was born in Brain ard. Minn.. on May 5. 1883, and was 20 years old when he was taken un- der the wing of Connie Mack. and the Athletics. He remained with the team for 12 years and was drawing a salary of $7.50o a year. In Septem- Der, 1914. he led the American league pitchers, having won 15 out of IT sames, 13 of which were straight vic tories. Toward the end of the season Bender broke with Mack and after 8 short and disastrous career with the Federal league he retired.
