KAUFF TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK
FEDERAL LEAGUE CONTRACT
Slugging Outfielder's Protest Against Sale to
New York CHants Is Not Done for
Sake of Publicity
Be5NNY KAUFF, tho Ty Cobb of tho Federal Leasruc, has been referred to
as "Benny tho boob," but after bearing tho reasons why Kauff wilt not
play with tho New York National League Club, to which ho was sold by
Hairy Sinclair, ono may bo convinced that tho brilliant young; outfielder Is
anything but a "boob."
Kauff neks what right Sinclair has to sell hln services to tho Giants. Ho
nlso wants to know why he Is not a frco agent, eligible to sign with ths team
offering' the best Inducements. And ho wants to know how tho Federal League
can control tho futuro of ball players when It Is ndmlttedly a thing of tho
past. The fence-breaker adds that it Is nono of Ills affair If Organized Call
believes that It must glvo tho Federal League owners a chanco to get back
Bomo of tho money lost, and Insists that It will not bo made by selling his
b& .. ...... .!. alb.... ... AU ...- It.. ..l..-.t
By uuuvi mu i;iii;uiiisiiiiii.i:ft mo milium
P consider Kauff rather arrogant and a
but Jio has certainly mado It clear that
' idling ball players at will aro likely
stars. Tho willingness of tho Federal Lcaguo and Organized Ball to llvo up to tho
contracts carried by tho players of tho former mndo a great Impression on tho
fans and tho players who aro not highly rated, but players of Kautt's calibre,
who aro in demand, aro certain to mnko trouble.
KnulT MnltinR Most of His Opportunity
Kauff probably Is right In saying thnt Sinclair has no right to sell his
release. In tho oyes of tho high court of baseball, tho National Commission,
this is perfectly legitimate, but It Is a matter of doubt If thoro Is a court that
would not dcclaro Kauff a frco agent If tho caso were permitted to go that far.
Kauff claims that tho transfer of a player's contract from a leaguo which
Is no longer In cxlstcnco to another party can bo dono only If tho player con
sents and Kauff can hardly bo blamed for not agreeing to tho transfer unless
tho Giants will glvo him a new contract, calling for moro money or a per
centage of tho purchaso prlco from Harry Sinclair.
In taking his stand Kauft Is certain to be criticised, but ho Is taking ad-
vantage of tho fact that ho Is ono of tho fow ball players who aro today In a
position whero ho can dictate. Some magnates havo mado no secret of tho
fact that tho day of tho dictating hall player was at an end and that In tho
future they would take what they were offered or nothing, so Kauff Is making
tho most of his opportunity.
Kauff says ho will get what ho wants or will quit tho game, and thero will
be no way of proventlng him from doing this. It Is possible, however, for
Organized Dall to award him to Now York and to havo a secret agreement
which will prevent any other team from dickering for his services, which
would mean that Kauff would cither havo to play with tho Giants or mako
good his threat to quit.
Hawaiian Athletes Shine at Harvard
It Is' odd that tho Hawaiian Islands should produco so many good athlotea,
tho majority of whom havo earned famo at Harvard. Joe Gllman, captnin
eloct for tho 1916 Crimson cloven, Is tho latest Harvard star from Undo Sam's
far-off Isle. Among his predecessors from Hawaii wero tho 'Wlthlngton brothers,
Ray Hitchcock and Al Castle.
Tho thrco Wlthlngtons wero all varsity athletes of renown. Lothrop
Wlthlngton captained the 1910 cloven, while his brother Paul played centre.
Paul was nlso a track star, suddenly blossoming forth as a wonderful two
milor in 1913, when ho won this event In tho Intcrcollcglatcs from a field of
great runners. After graduation "Wlthlngton was treasurer of tho Harvard
Athletic Association. A younger brother, Tweaker, earned his varsity letter
In football and track work In 1914 and 1310.
Castlo was a pitcher on tho 1905 team, and was rated as a wonder, several
professional clubs having offered him a contract, and ho was partially
responsible for Gllman entering Harvard. Gllman bids fair to surpass all
athletes who entered Harvard from tho Hawaiian Islands, although tho great
football and baseball ability of Hitchcock leaves a record hard to bet.
Gllman has played throo years of varsity football and Is rated as ono of
tho greatest linemen In tho country. Ho Is an excellent pitcher, and Is likely
to share the bulk of the burden with Eddie Mahan. He la a great shot-putter,
and may bo used on tho track team Instead of tho nine If another good pitcher
la developed. Gllman prepared for Harvard at Phillips Exeter, playing on tho
tame team with Black, who will captain Yalo next fall.
McGraw Thinks Left-handed Hitters Arc Going Back
John McGraw contends that thero Is not ono scientific left-handed hitter
In the' gamo. Baseball fans will agreo with McGraw If ho bars Eddie Collins
and Ty Cobb. The "Georgia Peach" Is a free swinger, but 1b also a place hitter,
and must be considered a scientific batsman. There have been very few place
hitters who wero right handers, and thore Is not one of them in tho game today.
Shorter fields and a crazo for long-distance hitting are believed to have
caused youngsters breaking in to forget that Willlo Keeler, Itoy Thomas, Mc
Graw. Jesso Burkett, Emmett Holdrlck and several others hit above the 300 mark
year after year by deliberately placing tho ball Just out of the reach of tho
fielders and invariably on tho left side of the diamond, when they might havo
been great 'long-distanco hitters had they cared to pull the ball.
Tho only right handers who did much place hitting In tho last 20 years aro
Horry Davis and Hughey Jennings. There are several good hit and run batters
till In the game, but they seem to forget the art of placing the. ball when the
bases ore clear or there Is no chanco for a hit-and-run play. Still they inaist
that the old timers did not play real baseball.
While on the subject, It might bo well to recall the remarks of an old timer,
who says that the game has not Improved at all, but that tho fans understand
It better because tho baseball writers are better than they were In tho old days
and that the newspapers devote more space to tho game, and thus enable tho
people to becomo moro thoroughly acquainted with the Insido facts.
Bowling Coming Back to Its Own
The ancient game of bowling has come back In a wonderful manner and Is
sow more popular In this city than It was 10 years ago, which period was
recognized as the greatest In its history in this city. "While the game has
advanced In this city, the advancement has not been nearly so great as In
Cleveland, Buffalo, "Washington, Indianapolis, Columbus and several other
cities of the "West.
The loaded ball which Is used a great deal In the "West, but which Is now
barred from tournament games, may be responsible to a large extent for the
19 of the score rolled In other cities, as several of Philadelphia's best bowlers
have made excellent scores in National tourneys, but as a class, several cities
appear to be far ahead of this city for producing star bowlers.
A few days ago, Pollard, an Indianapolis bowler, competing In a two-
aan toilrney, gave one of the greatest exhibitions ever recorded In a tournament
In this country. Pollard bowled IS games on six different alleys, for a total
of S915 pins, which is an average of S17M, Pollard's scores were 218, 233, 234,
333. 233, 263, 191, 201. 203, 168, 225, 236, 248, 223, 185, 166, 236 and 213.
v
Joe Jackson Will Hold His Job With Ease
There Is no denying that Joe Jackson la not as valuable to a ball team as
his .368 grand average for six years would lead one to believe, but there is no
danger of his losing his position as a regular in the White Sox outfield.
Jackson may be a slow thinker and an Individual star, but as he only has to
contest with Eddie Murphy, "Happy" Felsch, John Collins and Jacques
Fournier for a regular position, he will have little trouble holding his position.
A story has been going the rounds that Jackson would be benched In favor
fit Fournler. because the latter hits almost
departments. That is Just like benching Eddie Collins for a recruit, as Fournler
tMfords opposing players and the fans much humor when he tries to play the
mtfteld,
Jack Blackburn, considered one of the game's greatest light an,d welterweight
be era until he rap afoul of the law, has made Indianapolis his home and
staging a great come-back. Ho has registered four quick knockouts over
wkldlewelghts who are rated highly in the middle west.

LEDGER MOVIES WHICH PROVES, SPffiO,
JUNIOR TENNIS
PLAYERS NEED
MUCH COACHING
Hoskins Approves of the
Movement to Help Young
Racquet Wielders
INTERESTING INTERVIEW
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN, SB
It Is seldom that ono has tho pleasure
of hearing Mr. Albert L. Hoskins, vice
president of the U. 8. N. Xi. T. A., speak
Ills views on tennis In general and around
Philadelphia, in particular. This latter Is
possibly bocauso words fall to express his
views on It.
However, It was my pleasure to have a
long conversation with Mr. Hoskins on
these matters nnd Brvernl Interesting
points wero brought to light.
Tlrst. Mr. Hoskins heartily approved of
and promised his support to the move
ment to develop the Juniors around Phll
ntlelphla which Doctor Dcwhurst, Mr.
Gibbons et al. nre in charge of. Mr. Hos
kins offered to Interest Merlon and Hunt
ingdon Valley Clubs in tho movement,
and also sold ho would take charge of the
practices at tho various clubs whenever
possible.
"It Is n flno Idea," said Mr. Hoskins.
"There aro many Juniors around the city
who need encourngement. 1 am heartily
In favor of It and will do anything In my
power to assist." This from such tu
prominent tennis official Is Indeed a boost.
Mr. Hoskins thru turned his attention
to tho matter of Inck of out-of-town en
tries in our tournaments. Ho laid tho
whole blame on tho large clubs nml their
lack or willingness to entertain visiting
players.
"They descrvo to bo severely criti
cized," said Mr. Hoiking, speaking of tho
clubs' nttltudo on these imittorH. "Why,
many of tho visiting players would hardly
know they were guests of tho club."
Novel Practice ,
Mr. Hoskins spoke of a very novel but
practical plan by which tho out-of-town
entries could be secured. It Is this: Let
tho Eastern States, from Maryland to
Maine, agree together that each fjtato
shall send ono or moro of Its leading
Players to every statu tournament with
in this district. This reciprocity schema
would Insuro at least six or seven players
of merit and rank In all these Important
tournaments. Mr. Hoskins suld ho would
write tho National Association proposing
this matter beforo tho next mooting.
Tho question of Inter-city matches was
brought up. "Flno," said Mr. Hoskins.
"They should be rcorcnnlzerl If nnaaiiiin
Tho only troublo Is getting tho tcum to
gether, since so many of the boys cannot
spare tho time. Still It should bo en
couraged and worked up, if necessary."
Mr. Hoskins clearly Mows tho Me-Loughlln-Bundy
matter as ono of ex
treme Importance. Ho Is a strict believer
in rigid nmateur standing nnd believes
that these men havo clearly violated
clause two of tho amateur rule. "Mr. Hos
kins Is against any capitalization of abil
ity In tho sporting world as a means of
livelihood, either diroctly or Indirectly.
There is no compromise in his views.
Junior Movement
Mr. Hoskins scorns to fcol that tho most
encouraging sign in the present outlook Is
tho new Junior development plan.
He says he considered tho Philadelphia
and DlBtrlct Association an Instrument of
good in Philadelphia tennis, yet feels that
thero Is still unfortunately a pulling apart
between it and tho Interclub.
Any comment on tho tennis situation by
n man whoso knowlcdgo of tennis nffalrs
In this and other cities Is as profound as
Mr. Hoskins is worthy of real thought
over It by the players of the city. What
he Indorses Is a pretty good thing to work
for. Lot us all work in this Junior plan.
Let us work for the Increased entry lists
in our tournaments, especially ns regards
out-of-town players. Let us boom tennis
from now on In Philadelphia.
In closing Mr. Hoskins Just touched the
1015 ranking. What ho said was short
and to tho point. The gist of Its was that
Williams had received an exceedingly raw
deal, while the whole list was nearly a
farce.

LOCKWOOD IN SHAPE TO
MAKE MARK THIS SEASON
Illness Has Prevented
Penn's Great Sprint
er From Participat
ing in Meets of Form
er Years
TWICD has tonsllltls robbed Joe Lock
wood, the University of Pennsylvania's
best sprinter, of an opportunity for an in
tercollegiate championship. In 1914 this
Illness so weakened him that he was un
able to score In tho 100-yard dash and got
only third In the 200-yard dash. Last
year a similar attack knocked him out
of condition, and fourth In the 220-yard
dash was the best he could get.
But tonsllltls will have a hard time to
get Lockwood this year, Realizing that
this would be his last opportunity to win
a championship, for he is now a senior,
Lockwood has had the tonsils removed.
He lost nearly 10 pounds In weight follow
ing the operation, but is now getting back
to his normal condition and expects to do
considerable running during the coming
winter and spring.
In perfect physical condition. Coach Or
ton thinks that Lockwood will have an
even chanco to win the 220-yard dash at
the I. C. A, A. A, At championships, even
against such men as II. L. Smith, of
Michigan, and E. A, Tcschner, of Har
vard, who were first and second last year,
Lockwood has always been able to do
even time for tho century, and has fre
quently been inside 23 seconds for the
220-yard event, but he never seems able
to be at his best for the big games, par
ticularly when there are many heats.
Lockwood is a graduate of Qermantown
Academy and had been credited with 10
seconds for the 100 yards before entering

the quarter mile as for the two short
sprints. He was a member of the
Quakers' one-mile relay team in 1511 and
1915, and on both occasions ran the dis
tance in close to 1 seconds.
Ills only sprinting weakness is that he
Is a trifle slow getting oft his mark. He
nearly always loses a yard In the first
five, and this has been chiefly respon
sible for his failure to score In the 100
yards,. Coachr Orton is trying to teach
him to get into his running more quickly,
and believes that if he can cure this
weakness be will do 10 seconds consistently.

major league player as umpire and a
well-known sporting wrltor as Bcorcr.
Theso honors went to Harry Davis, of
tho Athletics, and William Weart, a local
scribe.
By scoring It runs In tho first Inning
the Grays went into tho lead and wero
never headed. Players of both teams fre
quently shifted positions to tho Inconven
ience of Scorer Weart. It seemed that
nearly every ono wnnted to tako a turn
at pitching tho underhand delivery. Eddie
Carrls, a student at Friends' Central last
vcar. and now nromtnent in athletics at
Swarthmore College, umpired on tho
bases. ,
Thornton, rovor on tho St. Luke's tc hockey
team, virtually defeated Episcopal Academy
