RULED INELIGIBLE

Chicago, April Benny Kauff. star
outfielder with the New York Nation
ais. today was declared ineligible to
play in organized baseball by Commits
sionnr Landis because of the indict-
mcnts returned against him in New
York charging him with the theft OF
an automobile.

mobile in his possession. The case
against him is pending in New York.
In rendering his decision. Commits
sioncr Lands said:
''Of course, the nero return OF an
indictment docs not imply guilt. The
grand jury inquisition is ex partc. The
defendant has no opportunity there
to defend against the charge. But in
dictmcnt docs imply that in the Judg-
mont OF the grand jurors there Is
probable cause to believe the accused
guilty.
Section two OF article four of tho
majo minor league rules. relating TO
players under Indictment for conduct,
detrimental to the good reputc of base
ball. applies here. Therefore, this

NEW BASEBALL EQUIPMENTS
OPPOSEDBY MAJOR LEACUERS
Old White Sox Catcher Refuses to Use Mask At First
Catcher 5 Pad Looked On As Huge Joke,

far as anything like the present style
of glove is concerned 1t would seem
that they gradually assumed their
present typo and shape.
Roger Brcsnahan. was tho first
catcher to uso shin guards. He was
then catching for the New York Giants.
The Catcher's Pad
There seems to be lack of certain
informal ton to what catcher was
the first to use the pad. 1t was the
writer's pleasure. however. to see tho
FIRST game in which this device was
used by the old Chicago White Sox.
The time must have been about the
middle OF the Sos. Remembrance is
very distinctive of how the entire team
looked upon tho device in the same
earnest and playful manner as a child
would inspect a new toy. All the
great players of that team were there:
Dalrymplc, Gore, Kelly, Anson. Phef-
fer. Williamson. Burns and IL memory
serves me right Cochran was pitching
and, OF course. silver Flint was tho
backstop. They all carefully inspected
tho pad; II put ono in mind of lung
tester at county fair. 1t seemed
as If every player on the team wanted
to blow It up. Kelly caught a few
games to try it out, and then William
son got the consent of Cap. Anson. to
go behind the bat. He WAS 30 COM
pletcly fascinated with the new toy.
that instead of trying to catch the ball
he would let II hit the pad instead.
and bound off towards tho pitchers
box. and remember how he laughed
and considered the whole thing \ joke
Flints work for that game was neg
ligiblc.
At this time | can distinctly remem-
ber Flint using a kid glove With the
fingers cut of at the knuckle. have
often wondered what the modern
catcher would say II they saw that old
veterans hands. Every finger must
have been broken half dozen tiInes.
and they were all twisted and crooked.
Ho caught Corcoran and Goldsmith
practically bare handed. without mask
or pad. and it is truth TO say that either
OF those pitchers had as much speed
as the average big hague pitchers OF
these times.

There has been little or no competi-

the policy of purchasing men who have
proved themselves as ball players. He
paid large prices for Charley Pick and

The lap prize purse was inaugurated

A paragraph appearing in tho Sport

dislike of catchers to the new masks.
because of the protection afforded the

brings up old thoughts. It would seem
as difficult to introduce any new device
to the player of today as 1t was TO the
player Of thirty, forty or even fifty
years ago. A. q. Spauldins, in his
splendid volume on base ball. The
American National Game" says: Our

the mask, i pitched him few balls,
some of WHICH he missed. and finally

on without it,
Spalding gives credit for tho first use
of the mask to DR. Harry Thatcher. OF
Dexter. Maine, who was member Of
the Hartford college team in 1879, and
tho man who. invented the mask as
Fred Thaycr, of Boston. who played
third base for that team. In speaking
of tho construction of this mask he
says that it differed little from the
mask of today except that IL was
somewhat more crude in workmanship.
Tho padding was of cotton batting with
