KAUFF MAY "STAR"
ON SHIPYARD TEAM
Transfer of Giants Outfielder
to New York Plant Is
Rumored

Benny Kauff the Giants great out
fielder may yet get into the Delaware
River Shipyard League. F. d. Boynton,
manager Of the New York Ship team. to-
day told of rumor to the effect that
Kauff is to be placed in one of the local
shipyards.
Benny played his last game with the
Giants last Saturday. and on Tuesday
was sent by his draft board to Camp
Sherman. at Chillicothe. o. So 1t is
thought rather late now for anything
else, but it Is to be remembered that
Joe Jackson. the White Sox outfielder.
got transfer from his draft board.
and is now starring on the Harlan Ship
team at Wilmington.
At any rate. the rumor has stirred up
the shipyard fans. and there will un-
doubtedly be a tussle among the eight
teams in the league for kauff's serv-
ices. Unless he has already been signed
up, though. he could not be of much
use to any team this season. The ship
yard league season ends on August 10.
Under league rules no player signed up
after June 26 can be played until thirty
days after his name has been officially
reported to the president of the league
But in hot pennant race, where
single game would decide the champion
feat into victory.
This players rule is not to be sus-
pended in any case. according to a spe-
cial ruling passed at the regular league
meeting in the Widener Building. this
city. Tuesday evening. Manager Miller
of the Chester Shipbuilding Company's
nine. who was delegate to the meeting
apparently had in mind a man he was
anxious to play at once; Some of the
fans wonder if this was Kauff but
Miller was not doing any Of that kind
of talking. He asked for suspension
of the thirty-day rule in case he lost
any Of his men by draft. discharge or
otherwise. and was fatally turned down.
Managers of the other teams were on
their feet in an instant with Kick,
which was sustained by President Samp-
son..
Miller's team is leading the league,
but only one game ahead of the New
York Ship boys. Either of these mines
could use Kauff to great advantage.
These rivals have not vet met on the
diamond. and when they do clash on
July s at Camden the fans expect to see
a battle. The Harlan team, of Whining
ton, was tied with New York for second
place until last Saturday, when the
Chester boys trimmed them. leaving
second place entirely to the New York
aggregation.
Manager Miller is relying on Twinine
to pitch his team to the pennant vic
tory. Twining has won every game
thus far. but Mckinley, one of the New
York's fingers, has done the same in
the four games he has pitched. The
New Yorks just lost Smith, one of their
big three" but still have Barnard and
Mckinley
The fans think this game at Camden
will decide the merits of the two close
rivals, and rooters on both sides seem
full of confidence.

A NEW BUTTERFLY HEARD
Florence Easton Scores Another Tri
umph-Rigoletto at Matinee

The second performance of "Madama
Butterfly" in the current opera festival
drew a large audience to the Academy
of Music last evening. Two singers. not
heretofore heard here in this most popu-
lar of Puccni's music dramas. sang the
leading roles. Florence Easton. although
physically not we'll suited to the part
of the little japanese light o love, de-
livered the haunting measures of this
part with thrilling tonal beauty. Not
since Emmy Destinn first sang Cio-Cio
San here has its music been so ar
tistically treated.
Francis Maclennan characterized the
American naval lieutenant sincerely. not
''operatically," and was easily equal to
the vocal demands of this rather un-
gracious role. AS in last weeks pre-
sentation, Bouillez was the Sharpless
and Viola Robertson the handmaiden.
"Rgoletto" was the afternoon bill.
Ruth Miller. who was the Gilda, was
pictorialy effective, but her voice was
not always at home in the difficult color
atura passages. Antola infused the part
of the traduced jester with fine dramat' {
fire and Forrest Lamont portrayed the
duke in graceful style. Elizabeth Camp
bell was the Maddalena.
