KAUFF TRYING TO
 GET BACK IN GAME
Supreme Court Judge in New York.

New York. Sept 16.-Supreme Court der requiring the New York National League Baseball Club, J. H. Heydler, president of the National League, and
 Judge K M. Landis, commissioner of organized baseball, to show cause why they should not be restrained from inter- fcrng with the appearance ot Benn1e kauff on the baseball field, i'll perfor- nance of his contract with the New ork club.
 Justice Wasservogel also granted a temporary injunction restraining the de- fendants from interfering with kautf and preventing him from appearing, pending decision on the argument
 Counsel for Kauff said the ballplayer had been suspended following his all legged implication in the theft of an auto others concerned had continued in their refusal to allow kauff to play despite the fact that he had been acquitted since by jury.
 Kautf in his application for an order to show cause declared he was native born citizen and throughout his baseball career had given the public the best that was in him of ability. judgment, skill and fidelity He claimed that he had won cOmmendation for these qualities from his employers on several occasions. He added that he enlisted during the war and was stationed at Camp Sherman at Chillicothe, Ohio.
 Il am justified in stating,' the appli- cation continued, that I had established a reputation as a hard-working loyal, professional ballplayer. I devoted all my energies in the welfare of the game. :"
 kaulf added that at his trial, two of his character witnesses were John J. Mo Graw, vice-president and manager of the New York Giants. and Francis X. Nc Ouade, treasurer of the organization. Both testified, Kauff said that he had never broken any part of his contract and that his character was above re- proach, John K. Tener, former gover- nor of Pennsylvania and for many years president of the National League, was also a character witness. Kauff declared.
 The ba11p1ayer stated that Judge Ian dis suspended him permanently without a hearing after he had put himself in con- dition to play and was prepared to go through with his contract. He added that Judge Landis used his powers, what ever they may be, in order to make a gallery play with the public, in view of the scandal caused during the world championship series of 1o1o"

PROVISIONS OF TAX
 BILL ARE APPROVED
Senate Finance Committee Sanctions 32 P. C. Surtax Rate.
 Vote Today.

Washington, Sept l6.-Two of the four major provisions of the House tax bill were approved Tuesday by the Sen ate finance committee. One fixes the maximum income SurtaX rate at g per cent. as compared with the present 65 per cent, and the other increases by $500 the exemption allowed to heads of fami- lies having net incomes of $5 ,0O0 or less and by $2OO, the exemption allowed on account of each dependent.
 Even those senators favOring Secre- tary Melons proposal to make the re- peal of the excess profits tax retroactive to last January 1 were of the opinion that the committee would accept the House provision for repeal as of next January l.
 Should the House date be approved, it was said the committee probably would approve repeal of all of the tranSDOrta- tion tax as of next January 1 and most of the other tax repeals provided for in the House bill.
 In voting to reject Secretary MellOn'S proposal that the maximum income sur tax rate be reduced to 25 per cent, the committee took under consideration a treasury plan to reduce the rate in each of the income surtax brackets by 1 per ~ent. so as to tighten the taxes on those having incomes of less than $6S,OO0 a year as well as those whose incomes ex- Cced that amount.
 Several new tax proposals are to be presented to the committee, but Chair man Penrose said 1t had been decided to have a final vote on the bill today, so as to give the drafts1nen and experts time i'll which to put the measure in shape for presentation to the Senate when Congress reConvenes on September q.

BASEBALL IS TAME
 COMPARED WITH OLD TIME WAY OF PLAYING
Is Almost Ladylike When Viewed in Spirit of Civil War
 Days.

From the Spalding collection of baseball literature now being cata- logued at the New York Public Ii brary 1t appears that the game today is almost ladylike compared 10 what it was before the Civil war, in these piping times of humanitarianism 1t would be considered cruel and un usual punishment, not to mention atrocious assault and battery, to hurl the ball at player between bases with such aim as to hit him.
 Up to I845, however, that manoeu- yer was an important part of the game and if an inning ended with no bones broken 1t was more by bad aim than by tender~solicitude.
 The severe "accidents" of the bud ding national game had become a scandal before the organization in New York of the Knickerbocker club, which first put baseball upon a more or less polite footing.
 The delights of the game are thus portrayed by Beadle's Dime Baseball Player, quaint periodical of which many successive editions form an i'm portant feature of the Spalding col lection:
 This invigorating exercise and manly pastime may now be justly termed the American Game of Ball, for though of English origin it has been so modified and improved of late years in this country as almost to deprive it of any of it's original features beyond the mere ground work of the game. As we propose briefly to note the progress of base ball from it's. origin, we deem it ap- propriate to introduce the rules for playing the English game of Round CTS from which baseball is derived. E. "Rounders is played with ball and bats, or sticks something of the form of a policeman's truncheon. A hole is first made, about a foot across and a half a foot deep. Four other stations are marked with pegs stuck into the ground, topped with a piece of paper so as to be readily seen"

FANS HOPE TO SEE
 CARPENTIER-GIBBON MATCH NEXT YEAR
Tom, Not Mike, Looked to as Most
 Likely Contender.

The report from Paris that Georges Carpenter is doubtful whether he will be able to fight Tom Gibbons next year for the light heavyweight championship will be received with mixed feelings III this country There will be some who will take the statement with a grain ot salt, pointing out unkindly the highly prosperous time that Georges is likely to have if he returns to box here. Others will say of the French boxer what they said of the French tennis player recent ly at Forest Hills. But still others, and perhaps the majority, will regret any such intention on the part of Georges.
 Carpenter himself is quoted in the cable dispatches as referring to the possi- bility of his giving up the plan to meet Gibbons. The Frenchman told a cor respondent that he will have to return to Paris and undergo an examination from specialists before he can reach decision concerning another trip to the United States His broken thumb ap- parently is still giving trouble, and even his health" to use Carpenters own word, is unsatisfactory. Whether or not this bad health" Is the result of injuries from Dempsey's powerful body blows IS . matter of conj lecture.
 In addition, there are firm objections of Mime. Carpenter, and the alluring call of an aluminium utensi factory, ln which Georges is interested. On the other side are the glory and the great financial re- turn that would be gained by future ap- pearances in the American ring, where every champion IS a person of wealth : and the ropes are of gold
 But 1t would be cynical to hint that
 French champion will be influenced
 any reasons as sordid as these. If stays in Paris 1t will be because he Rs decided that boxing Is not the gent
 et sport for the manager and owner
 an aluminium utensi1 factory. Even
 X Rickard may find himself unable
 cope with the lure of commerce. And
 is matter of health we may take
 eofges' word for 1t that tthe rigors of le Greatt tWar, combined with tthet ef- Eectst tof his meettitntg with Dempsey, FhaVe conceivably undermined his gen. eral health
 His retirement, of course, would not be a good thing for boxing It would leave the light heavyweight field with out a champion, thus creating the same situation that existed when Jim Jeffries retired with his heavyweight title. The same confusion claims and counterclaims would probably follow, and it would be years before the situation would be cleared Most followers of boxing will pine heartily for Georges return.

The ground keeper of the Columbia Sally League ball park is an aged ne gro named Coleman, who has passed the three score and ten" years. He breaches on Sunday, many times with a baseball term as his text, and keeps the baseball grounds in shape during the week. Clark Griffith, president of the Washington league club, was in Columbia to purchase Outfeldcr Cos lin and Pitcher Turk. Having tram sacted this deal, Griffith approached Coleman and after exchanging greet ings, said 10 the old man:
 "I understand that you are the best ground keeper in the league"
 "Yas sah, I think I is," admitted Coleman
 "How would you like to go to the big league? I will give you a job in Washington" said Griffith
 'Thankee sah, but I'se got to stay and Mister Beck" was the prompt
 Then with a twinkle in his eye, the Washington baseball man comeback with what he thought was a kayo blow for Coleman:
 "Well, you know Columbia is in or ganized baseball, so I will draft you if you don't come voluntarily"
 Griffith left Coleman to think it over. The old negro then sought out some of his friends, including news paper men, President Foster and oth- CTS, and with deep chucklc landed this one:
 Huh, MT. Griffith done think he put one over on me, but the jokes on him. He don't know I'se over de draft age"
 The Louisville Coloncls in the American Association, jumping from home to St. Paul, had long trip, and several of the players complained of illness en route. A few of the hardier ones had enough pep to lWen up the trip with a joke or two
 Roy Sanders complained of weak ness due to heat on the trip. When the train stopped at way station Joe Schepner, climbed out, got rock as big as a watermelon and slipped 1t into Sanders suitcase. It would be some joke on Sanders, he thought.
 When time came to change trains at Chicago, Sanders really was sick. He started to lift his suitcase and couldn't budge it.
 By golly," he said, "I'm sicker than I thought 1 was; I'm so weak l cant lift my case"
 Turning to Schepner he asked him if he wouldn't please carry the suit case for him. Schooner couldn't re- fuse and had to lug it, rock and all.
 Schepners' team mates now have a lot of fun telling about how practical iokers get sold some times.
