kAUFF DELIVERS
GOODS IN MAJORS
DESPITE KNOCKS
Giant 0uttielder May Never
Realize Ambition 10 Be
Champion Batsman, But
He Was a Star.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, June 22.-Little Benny
Kauff may never attain his ambition
to become king of the batsmen in the
major leagues, for he has answered
the call to the colors. and is prepar-
ing to take his part in the big worlds
series across the Atlantic.
But though Kauff may never enjoy
the realization of being the leading
batsman in base ball, he can find
consolation in the fact that he made
good as a major Lacquer, despite the
prophecies of a good many OF his
critics, who said he did not hace the
class.
Donned in the khaki of Uncle
Samuel's national army. kauff can
look back at his major league days
with a smile and say:
II proved my,right to big league
Job. ] made good"
And Kauff certainly did make good
with the Giants, the club that he al
ways wanted to play with since he
broke in as a bush Lacquer.
Stands for Jibes.
During his Federal league days
Kauff's success as q batsman con.
vinced him that he could deliver the
goods in any league. A good many
people thought he was swelled on
himself, and because he was often
misquoted by certain scribes the i'm
preston gained strength. The result
was that Kauff had to stand for many
jibe and a great deal OF kidding
that would have discouraged the
average ball player and ruined his
chances OF sticking in the majors,
But Benny simply gritted his teeth
took a toe-hold at the plate and said
to himself: "I'll show EN-" And he
showed EN-
Keeps On Plugging.
He found the pitching much better
in the majors than that which he had
been used to in the Federal league
but it made no difference in his de.
terminal tion to bat and field his way
to stardom. He just kept on plug
ging. t..
Kauff has natural ability as
hitter, fielder and base runner. and
behind that he has unlimited nerve
He had always aspired to some day
usurp the thrones of such stars a. Ty
Cobb and iris Speaker, and he never
gave up.
Now that his base bail career ha:
been halted, temporarily, at least, hs
will have to satisfy his ambitious
nature by making good as a soldier
and IL we know anything about
Benny he'll make good. and ther
some.

certainties have not been removed.
In the Second and Third Districts
all the indications are that Messrs'
Talbot and Coady will be re-nomi-

In the Fourth District the outlook
is uncertain. Mr Linthicum is a
candidate for denomination after
eight years service in Washington

from time to time already have

that the next nominee for Governor

if your imagination is capable of so
great feat How would you receive
the overwhelming news that the world
was at war, with civilization in the
balance, and that the United States
had pledged all her resources and en-
ergies to defeat the greatest military
machine ever created and TO make
new world where all men might live
in peace and freedom?
II might take you some little time
to get your bearings. But ii didn't
take McNeale long. He started right
in trading that sack of gold for Lib
erty Bonds and Thrift Certificates.
When he had all he could carry, it
occurred to him that money wasn't all
his country needed; so he went to the
recruiting station and tried TO enlist
in the army They turned him down
on account of his age Then he spent
his last nugget for a new outfit of
supplies, and started back to dig more
gold to buy Liberty Bonds with.
The war is being fought and won by
that solitary miner in those lonely
mountains just about as much as it's
being won by anybody, anywhere.
And it makes a lot of us feel rather
humble about our own contribution to
| the cause.

4 CHEERFUL OUTLOOK.

A couple of months ago the nation
was in the dumps. Today nearly
everything looks good.
The German drive has been check
ed, and there is no more fear of Hin
denburg breaking through.
our third Liberty Loan has succeed
ed notably in the amount subscribed
and far beyond all precedent and all
expectations in the number of sub
scribers
Our shipping situation has improv-
cd wonderfully, and the production
this year will far surpass recent ex-
pectations.
Our military pace has quickened
and our troops are being rushed to
France in far greater numbers than
anyone anticipated
Our banking system is as firm as a
rock, our business is booming, every
body is working, and we are paying a
surprising amount of war expenses
from current income.
The railroad tangle is being slowly
Strengthened out, and large quantities
of new cars and engines are being
built
We have no labor troubles worth
speaking about. Labor is virtually a
unit in its loyal and practical sup
port of the war.
The food outlook is bright. The
wheat crop tops all former estimates,
and experts are now talking of the
possibility of a billion bushels this
year.
The cotton outlook is so promising
that 100000 bale crop is expected
Some phases of war preparation are
still disappointing, particularly air
plane and ordnance production. Big
men have now been put in charge of
both these departments. When they
start functioning properly, we shall
have to seek far to find any ground for
nagciniSm

Mr.. Calm was greatly gratified yes
terday at the progress of enrolment
of boys in the city and in the coun-

following statement bearing on the
conditions which have compelled the
government to call upon the boys 70
help the farmers:
In anticipation of the serious condi-
ton of the farmer the United States
Department of Labor at Washington
is organizing for service the only sup
ply of labor now available In this
organization, known as the United
States Boys Working Reserve, there
will be enrolled hundreds of Maryland
boys-all over 16 years of age and
under 21-old enough and strong
enough to give valuable service to
their country and the farmer, even
though their youth prevents their be-
ing accepted for fighting ranks.

Warden Leonard, of the Maryland

work around the institution, he
thought that he would be able to
spare about 400 of them.
The men will-be housed at the two
institutions unless employed at a dis
lance beyond reasonable transporta-
ton. In such cases barracks will be
put up where they will cook their own
meals.
The road which will probably re-

THE KU KLUX AGAIN.

The Ku Klux has come again, with
it's white robes and it's fiery cross. A
ghostly procession reminiscent of the
dark reconstruction" days rode
through Birmingham, Ala, the other
night
1t must have been a fearsome sight,
as of old, particularly for supersiti-
tious and conscienee-smitten colored
persons. But there was no lynching,
no terrorization. The knights pur-
pose was to discourage idleness and
disloyalty, and they used the rather
mild method of distributing cards
which expressed their sentiment as
follows:
"If you would be justly entitled to
the federation and protection you are
enjoying. find work TO do, and do it,
No able-bodied man, rich or poor, has
a right to consume without produc-
ing. Take heed and go to work. The
eye of scrutiny is upon you.
"Be respectful to the flag of our
country and loyal to the government
by every means at your command in
the suppression of disloyalty by either
speech or action. The Ku Klux is
pledged to the enforcement of the
above tenets."
The propriety of any such private
and irresponsible organization may be
questioned, as in the case of the some
,,-b,4 ri,,iror ssIS n;gb+c of 7 .ihertv'' of
California But there can be no ques-
ton of the "tenets." They apply to all
Americans. everywhere.

TO the editor OF The Capital:

Last week saw many of the Demo
cratic leaders, including several State
Senators, in Baltimore, and of course
politics and candidates were the sub
ject of discussion, to the exclusion OF
all other things, except the war and
the great battle now going on in Elan
ders. and the great success OF the Lib
erty loan. As usual, Eastern shore
men outnumbered the others, and poll
ties and candidates on the other side
OF the bay led in all the discussions.
The Congressional nomination in the
First District, TO succeed MIR Price,
was thoroughly talked over, and all
the candidates, both those in the field
and the possibilities as well, were
threshed out with much interest and
no little care.
And the conclusion reached after
hearing all of these discussions was
that MIR Price had made god as a
Congressman-tha he was much
stronger before the people than he
was two years ago. and that he was
at the present time far in the lead
and stood the best chance for the
nomination Senators Crothers was
admitted TO have much strength and
great popularity the fact that
he is a hold-over Senator would stand
in the way Of his nomination, for the
Democrats do not wish TO take any
chances in losing a member of the
Senate Col Sisk is admitted to
have great popularity and would
make an admirable candidate, but
the argument was used that his
nomination would be impossible with
Senator Crothers in the field so the
summing up seemed to be largely in
favor of the denomination of Mr..
Price Several leaders who would
prefer some other candidates than
Mr. Price, admitted that he had made
good, that he had greatly increased
in popular favor since he had been
in Washington and was entitled to the
united support of the Democrats of
the District Recording to all, there
fore. the outlook appears to be that
