»ES\Y KAUFF*.

Benny Kauff, star outfielder of the Giants, was anxious to go to war for Uncle Sam, but he hated to leave his team this season.

Bennie wanted to show the baseball world that he could lead the National league in hitting.

When Manager McOraw got Kauff from the Federal league the papers made much over it and called Bonnie another Ty Cobb. To say that he failed to measure up to his advance notices Is putting it mildly. The best Bennie could do with the bat last year was .808. But this season he seemed to have found lua stride.

SHINE BALL, SAYS GFJF

Impressive "Come Back" of S. 0. King Attributed to "Shiner"— Would Have It Barred.

CHICAGO, June 15.—Clark Griffith has been aptly dubbed the Old Fox. Proceeding on the theory that the shine ball is no myth, Griff, who heads the senatorial invasion of Chicago this week, has been tutoring his hurlers to steal some of Eddie Cicotte's inside slab stuff. This delivery was about the smoothest thing in the world of sport laet year. Griff contends. In fact, he believes the White Sox heavers shined their way to a world's championship.

Walter Johnson, speed king, has been tutored In this uncanny art. So have Jim Shaw and lesser lights of Griffs hurding corps. Here Is what Griff has to say on the subject: "I have Instructed my pitchers to load themselves up with paraffin, oil of tar, llcorlott, talcum ana everything else that oan be used to shine the ball.

Alas* to Drive tt Oat

"The White Sox beat their war to a pennant with the ahlne balL If the? can uae it, we can do the iam« and we will keep on until we drive It out of the same. 'T have told my pitchers to learn the •hlne ball and use it or they will be laid off without pay. I did lay off Shaw for four days because he didn't learn it and he didn't get any pay. either. When ho perfected the shine ball I put him back on my pay roll. It requires only a few minutes of application for a pitcher to learn the shine ball. "Walter Johnson can uae the shine ball effectively. So can Ayers. Johnson Is afraid to use It because he's afraid he will kill somebody. You can bet we will show them so much shine ball that they will be sick of using it and a rule will be made barring a player for life it he puts it over."

The impressive com« back of Walter Johnson is attributable to the shine ball, the way some put it. The smoke ball king is now a famed shine ball artist and he will shine 'em up for the consumption of the fans In the series with the White Sox, his boss contends.

May Convince the Pan*.

With Johnson, Shaw and Ayers using the much discussed shiner and Nick Altrock showing signs of glittering as a come back, fans may put some stock in Griff's theory. The Washington club may become a pennant contender and Griff may attribute it to the so-called shine ball. Griff may finally succeed in having the delivery put under the ban of the majors as a menace to batsmen.

Arguments may be adduced to shatter Griffs theory, however. Danforth, who has been using the shine ball, has been unable to finish games for the White Sox. CiCotte, the shining target of Griffith, seems just about as effective when he doesn't shine the ball. Hi* ability to baffle the batsman is attributed by many to the psychological effect of his having been heralded as having something almost unhitable.

If the powers of baseball should legislate against the shine ball the spitball, too, would have to go and it is unlikely that the magnates of either major league would agree to this.

MARINES GET BIG 0ARSMAU.

BOSTON, Mass., June 15.—Francis Parltman, the giant Harvard varsity oarsman, will he r. Marine, provided the corp* can furnish a big enough uniform. Parkman is 6 feet, 4 Inches In height, two inches above the maximum in the Marine corps. When he applied for enlistment a few days after the Harvard crew had defeated Yale the recruiting officers were so enthusiastic about his splendid physical condition they telegraphed to Washington for permission to waive the rule limiting the height of recruits. Today authorization to enlist the athlete was received with the stipuation "provided you can fit him with a uniform."

EDDIE R0TJSH INJURED.

BROOKLYN, June IB.—Eddie Roush, center fielder of Cincinnati and champion batsman of the National league in 1917, sprained his right ankle in the ninth inning of the game with Brooklyn Friday, and had to be carried off the field. He will be out of the game for a week or so.

A. A. INDIANS GET HELP.

INDIANAPOLIS, June IS.—Second Baseman Cruthers of the Memphis (Southern association) club, has been obtained by Owner James C. McGill of the Indianapolis club, it was announced last night. Cruthers will play second base for Indianapolis when he arrives, It was said.

CHUISTIE SHADES M0HA.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. June 15.—Gus Christie, middleweight, had a shade over Bob Moha, at the end of a tenround bout here last night, according to a majority of sporting writers present. The fighters are middleweights.

WHITE SOX LOSE HARGROVE.

CHICAGO. June 15.—Patrick Hapgrove, utility lnfielder with the Chicago Americans was called into the Nattonal army last night from his home in Wichita, Kas. He is the tenth member of the club to Join the colors.

BASEBALL IS SAVED

Provost Marshal General Crowder yesterday decided to recommend the exemption of professional baseball players from the "work or fight" order affecting men of draft age. This order becomes effective July 1. Players subject to draft are not affected. Those in deferred classifications may fulfill their contractual obligations to the club owners for 1918. Then they must engage In some occupation that will aid the government in its war program.

This decision is regarded as a life saver for the ma.lor leagues and about eight minor circuits, which are still operating. It will permit these leagues to operate to the close of this season subject only to the loss of players called in the draft.

It was explained to the prorost marshall that the major leagues could not operate with players under and over the draft age exclusively. This seemed to carry much weight with the head of the draft boards. It also probably was shown that baseball is a business as well as a means of entertainment and that no other business in the I United states is contributing an amount to compare favorably with that of the national institution.

Jumping on Vauffh for Are hit*, one a homer. In the first Inning, the Olants pushed five runs around and were never headed by the Cubs In yesterday's game. The final score was 7 to 0, I)emaree holding the losers to four hits, scattered in as many innings. Young was the home run clouter. He also was responsible for the Giants' two runs in the eighth, exploding a double with a pal on. Rudolph pitched another victory for the BTaves, trimming the Pirates, 7 to 6. Rudolph eased up in the ninth and the I'irates, scoring four runs, came within an ace of tying the count. Cooper was nicked for 15 hits by the Braves, including homers by Rehg and Wickland. Triples by Daubert and Myers in the sixth netted the Dodgers two runs and victory over the Reds. 2 to 1. Brimes and Bressler were the rival hurlers, each allowing six hits. Eddie Koush slipped in rounding second and suffered a sprained ankle that will keep him out of the game for a week or so. The Cards and Phils divided a twin bill, the Quakers taking the first game, 2 to 1, and the St. Louis bunch the second, 6 to 3. Cravath's homer In the tenth settled the initial clash. Both teams secured 13 hits in the afterpiece, but May was good In the pinches. Davis, who started for the Phils, was routed in the fourth when four tallies were registered.

Bunching blngles with Shotten's two run muff in the lucky seventh, the White Sox came from behind and defeated the Senators, 7 to 4. Shellenback started for the Hose, but gave way to Cicotte after the rally. Leibold's clouting featured. Two of his four hits were doubles. Hard hitting also won for the Yanks over the Tigers, 11 to 6. Both teams mauled the agate around, the New Yorkers getting 14 safeties and the l^etrniters an even dozen. The Yanks bunched nine swats with a walk and a bobble for nine runs in the third and fourth innings. The Athletics did a lot of hitting, getting 13 blows, but lost to the Indians, 4 to 2. Double plays, three of them, hurt the losers. The victors got to Heary with inen on. Hitting in the pinch, Johns, of the Browns, tripled with two on and two out in the ninth, thereby putting the Bed Sox down and out, 5 to 4. Bush was the victim.
