Benny Kauff Second National League Player, Following Gene Paillette, Ousted From Baseball
QUESTION NOW ARISES
WHETHER BENNY K A UFF
WAS A BASEBALL STAR
One-Time Giant Outfielder, Expelled From Majors by
Judge Laridis and Once Hailed as Wonder,
Passes as Mystery of Game
Ily KOnKKT W. MAXWKMi
8nort Editor Ifrenlns; Public I.rder
BENXT KAtTF 1ms stepped out of tho baseball picture. With the nvuetance
of .IihIrc I.niullH, thr once modeit, shrlukitiR violet linn given tip baseball,
Kolng Into Involuntary retirement because of an unsuccessful start In the auto
mobile same. The judge ilcobleil Ilrnn.v nliould give up baseball nml devote all
of his time to i lenrhiR hlnnelf of the charges made against him In New York.
Katiff is the mtoiiiI National League player to be ousted by Landls in tho
!at month. Uene l'aulette, of the 1'hlN, received the blue envelope because of
his alleged connections with gamblers in 11)11), nnd it is said that other athletes
rc being closely scrutinized by hizzonner. It would not bo nt all surprising
if more names were placed on the ineligible list in the next vvcefc.
The expulsion of Kuuff marks the passing of oti of the mysteries of base
ball. Hailed as a star, nnother Ty t'obb. when lie left the Federal league to
join the New York (tinnts. he was In the limelight for sis years without proving
conclusively whether or not he had the goods. Some expert snld he was a great
plajer, while others insisted he was jut an ordinnry, so-so performer.
Uenny could hit the ballwhen he lilt It but umhI to get overanxious
when at the plate and strike at anything. National Lcaguo pitchers would
throw the trill nt his feet and over his bend and Kauff would swing. This
wcakuci-s was apparent the lnt two .Mars, and his batting nvcrago suffered.
In tho Held. Kenny could not be called n finished product. Ho tried to get tho
boll nway from him as soon ns possible, nnd his quick, erratic throwing lost
many games. This jear he reported to the (Jiauls nt tSan Antonio, but Mel! raw
did not figure him ns u regular.
Kauff was the most talked of athlete when the Federal T.enguc busted In
lOt.". He had made n brilliant record in Indlnnnpolis and Brooklyn, hitting
.HOC! and ..114 in successive jears. Kenny admitted he was the best ball player
In the business and threatened to knoi k nil of the pitchers out of their jobs.
This got hi in the name of the "Modest YioM," nnd it hns stuck.
In 101(5, his llrst year in the National League, Hennj hit .04. The next
two years be was over the .1500 mark, but after that he slumped.

JOWEVER, there ii one thing in Kauff'.! favor, lie icas a fighter
and never quit. Hc hail a tough job to make good in tho league
ijler all of the preliminary press ngrniing, hut he- overcame all

Holdouts Fall Into Lino
THE open season for ex-holdouts hns begun. Within the next few daya the
athletes who held optimistic ideas in regard to salaries will admit tho club
owners were right, sign tho papers nnd get into the line-up. Tills is not a
prediction it is an absolute fact, livery jear it is the same. The players)
who threatened to quit for good In February nnd March see things differently
in April.
Neither the plajer nor club owner believes the retirement stuff. Both do
all the bluffing they can, and nt the etui reach an nmicnblc ngrecmeut. And
there Is a reason. The plnycr makes morn money playing ball for six months
than he can In two years in nnother business, nnd hc knows It. Tho owner
knows the player is worth n certain sum of money to his club ond will not
nllow him to ttiit the game. Therefore, each knows that hokum is being spilled
and waits until the other gives in.
Heinle Groh bays he never will play baseball again because Ciarry Herr
mann violated a confidence nnd told the public of the third baseman's salary
demands. Helnic gets something like ?11,000 for the season nnd wants more.
If he can't get it, It's n cinrh ho will play ut the old figure. IMdio Itousch is
aald to bo holding out for 20,000 a jear nnd n three-year contract, and tho
exorbitant demand has been ignored. Nobody blames the ball players for
trying to get all the money they can, but sometimes they go too far. The
absent treatment usually works well with tho recnlcitrant stars.
Charley Khbets had the right idea this spring. Wheu Zack Wheat asked
for a raise of $7000 over last year's salary, Kbbetts told him to stay on the
farm and not to nnnoy him any more. In a short time Wheat signed a con
tract calling for a raise of $1000. Ily M.vers nnd the otiicrs soon fell into line.
The teal reason for the holdouts is the spring training trip. Older players
dread the journey South, nnd will do anything to get out of It. They also pro
test ngaiust the exhibition games, not becnuso of tho traveling, but because
they are not paid for their work. Money talks with those birds.
m
SO LET'S icaxt and see trJini happens hefnrc April 1,1. Ciioh. Rousch
and Milton Stock are the principal holdouts at prcscntt How long

'War" May Start on Turf
TUB Maryland IJncing Commission, by recognizing II. Guy Kcdnell, former
trainer, as the agent of Commander .1. K. J,. Ross. Canadian and Maryland
turfwin, after the New York Jockey Club wo apologize for using the word
"New York," as more properly speaking it would be tho Jockey Club had
tabled Kcdwell's application for agent, threatens to reopen the entire contro
Tcrsy between the Maryland nnd New York racing authorities, including tho
issuance of licenses to trainers and joekejs.
It is not desired to offer a brief for Kedwell, but to emphasize the facility
of the Jockey Club to get up a tangle, nnd in attempting to extricate itself,
bring about a lot of other tangles. The trouble between Trainer Kedwell nnd
the Jockey Club Is an old nffnir. Tho Jockey Club has been thinking in terms of
daggers about Kedwell ever since the trainer is said to have backed Jockey
Shilling's application for reinstatement. The Jocke.v Club bus a way of deliver
ing a ruling possibly banishing a well-known turfman or trainer or jockey from
racing, giving the public no inkling of the masons, nnd saying "this Is the
Jockey Club's way."
Iouis Feustel, trainer nf Man o' War. against whom no hint of suspicion
ever had been breathed, n few weeks ago was denied a license bv the Jockey
Club. That action was n shn.-k. ns it appeared n rcflcetiou on tho trainer of
the greatest race Inn so in history. The public d'limnded an explanation. The
Jotkty Club's answer was the storcotjpe "that is the Jockey Club's way."
The public had faith in Feustel. He later wus granted n licenso, thereby
showing even the Jockey Club could do wroug, as it had denied In the first
place that v hich it later granted.
Kut the mystery was never cleared up. Kedwell made no application for
a trainer's license, but was appointed agent bv lloss, which was disapproved
by the Jockey Club. Then came the rumors that the withholding of Fcustel's
license was n "third degree" measure ndnpted by the Jockey Club to mako
Feustel give evidence detrimental to Kedwell. All tho talk concerned tho Mnn
o' War-Sir Rarton match raco in Canada, held lost October.
If the Jockey Club expects to run down every bit of gossip and scandal
floating about it will only sueceeil in shaking tho popular confidence in the
Integrity of the turf. And then If it would run down some of tho many rumors
affecting the New York tracks, it would hnve less time to devote to tho regula
tion of tho turf in Maryland, which is recognized by tho laws of the stnte nnd
under the control of a state commission.
AT 7iERT if the Joel r luh nrovgns a horseman's character It
should accord u pubhi' hearing. That is the system in vogue
in Kentucky,

Lack of Control Has Handi
capped Donovanites Against
A's, Says Wilhelm
PLAY A'S HERE TOMORROW
Ily SPICK IIAI.L
Kocky Mount, N. C. April fi. "I
believe that from now on the Pillules
pitchers arc going to show marked lin-
tii-nronmnt. Tliev have had It thor
oughly Impressed trjion them flint their
Ineffectiveness ngaint the Athletics was
not due to the fact that they tllcln't
have their usual amount of stuff, but
that their control wn bad.'
This Is tho view taken of tho Phllly
hurlers by "Kaiser" Wilhelm, manager
Donovan's pitching coach. Wilhelm
has been plating professional baseball
for n score of .vears. lie was for a
long time with the Kotn nnd KrooU
lvn clubs nnd had a lot of experience
In the minor leagues. He has nlvynys
been noted for being one of the headiest
pitchers In the game and, while bis
tecord is not ns brilliant as some pther
tosers, the reason is that he had the
misfortune to be with both Krooklyn and
Koton when they were at their lowest
ebbs.
"I think that I have. convinced our
pllchers." Wilhelm went on. "that the
only way they can be successful is to
practice control at nil times. As long
ns 1 have been pitching I never warmed
tip or pitched n ball unless I had some
particular spot in mind to aim at. Now
our pitchers haven't been doing thin,
although we have tried to get them to do
it. For instance, in batting prnctlce.
the pitchers would go out tliere in
Gainesville nnd just throw tho ball up
so tho batters could get n good crack
at it. Tliev didn't put nit) thing on
the bnll and they grooved them con
Unntlv. This was the most detrimental
thing they could Imve done noui lor
themselves and for the batters."
.Show Improvement
There Is no doubt that something
happened to the Pliilly pitchers be
tween the time of the second gntno with
tho Athletics nnd the third which was
phtved )ctcrday at Charlotte. Tho
Phils managed to lose ngaln, but It was
a contest, tho final scorn was fl to -I
nnd but for a mental boot by Wright
stone the Phils would have taken the
gntno ensily. The Athletics were not
able to hit Jimmy Keenan, who worked
the first four rounds, except In his
Hunt frame. It was then that they
did nil of their damage, piling up n half
dozen scores, enough to win. Lefty
Kaumgnrtncr, who succeeded Keenan
nnd finished tho game, was strictly on
tho job. Ho not only held the hitherto
hard-hitting A's to no runs, but they
were unable to mako even n base bit
off the ex-University of Chicago left
bander.
Kut for thnt fatal round the Phllly
pitchers were invinciblu and deserved a
better fate, for in tho final nnnlysis it
wits Wrlghtstotie's ghastly, concrete
play that lost the game.
Iltvsly Hurls Throughout
Knli Ilistv wns in the box throughout
the game for the Athletics, and while
at times lie showed u lot of stuff, hc wns
hit frequently. Still he managed to keep
tho hits well scattered and his hurling
in tho eighth was excellent.
Krllliant fielding by Frank Wnlkor,
Cnsey Stengel and Dykes featured the
defensive play of tho two teams.
This evening they leave for Philadel
phia, where the last game will bo played
tomorrow nfternoou at Khibe Park, al
though the Mnckmcn havo won the
championship of Philadelphia ahendy.
