KAUFF BURNS PATH IN FEDERAL LEAGUE Indianapolis Player Proves Second Ty Cobb in Swinging Willow. BY FRANK C. MENKE. NEW YORK, July 16. The Feds seem to have uncovered a sure-enough "second Ty Cobb" in the person of Benny Kauff, of the Indianapolis team. Kauff has Teen clubbing them out all season around the .400 mark, has been running bases with the daring and dash of the wonderful Georgian, can cover a marvelous amount of territory in the outfield and has an unerring arm. Kauff so far hasn't shown any batting weakness. He hits everything that comes his way, an dit matters not whether the slantB that are thrown up to him are from the arms of Tom Seaton, Russell Ford, Oey Crandall or some of the recruit pitchers in the new league. Most of Kauff's hits have the same whistling force that made Wagner and Uajoie famous as sluggers but he also is a wonderful man at laying down bunts and beating them out. If Kauff, in his present form had been uncovered in the American or National leagues tnis year, his face

would be peering forth from the sporting pages almost daily. But the Indianapolis star has the misfortune of being in a new league this year and his deeds are not being widely herald

ed. Before another year rolls around, those who have seen Kauff in most of

his games declare that even the most biased organized critic will have to admit that Kauff takes ranking with

Cobb, Jackson and Speaker. Chase Frees Kauff.

Kauff, by the way, was a member

of the New York Yankees for a bnei period in 1911. Even then he showed wonderful ability as a batter, but he lacked field experience, and Hal Chase, then manager of the club, turned him

loose because he felt that he did not have time to develop him. The Yan

kees at that time were well fortified with fielders. Kauff went to the New London,

Conn., team, in the Eastern association and set it aflire with his terrific hitting. He took part in 135 games, finishing the season with 176 hits for

an average of .345. Many of those hits were for extra bases. When the Feds were looking around

for players early last winter one of their scouts was tipped off to Kauff and the demon slugger affixed his

name to a contract.

WATER CUTS HOLES

IN TENNIS COURTS

The storms Monday and Tuesday did considerable damage to the tennis courts at the playgrounds and after

two days of working they are in con

dition for use. Director Nohr is ar

ranging to start several tournaments next week. In preparation for them he is working hard to get the courts in

fit condition.

Several bad wash-outs were made in the east courts during the rain the

early part of the week requiring fills.

It is the plan of Director Nohr to arrange several tournaments, one for older players, one for the younger

players and perhaps one for women.

He also intends to have single and

double tournaments.

TO PRONOUNCE IT. There is a big discussion on the proper way to pronounce the name of Carpentler, the French bloke who will fight Smith. According to a scout who once spent two days in Paris (Ky.) it should be called Car-pen-le-ay.

SOMEBODY LOSES. Says Smith: "I'll win sure." Says Carpentier: "Sure, I'll win.' Fight Fans (maybe): "We lose."

JACK NEEDN'T WORRY. Johnson says he wants to fight Jess Willard in order to show Tom Jones, manager of Willard, that he can not pick a champion. Mr. Burden hasn't got a very big burden along this line to bear.

NO, HE MOVES. Carl Weriman, the lengthy twirler. for the Brown, had better watch himself In Washington or son one will point him out as the Washington monument.

JUST SUBTLE HUMOR. British sport writers who are referring to Tony Ross as one of the greatest heavyweights in the game, are refuting the old charge that the English HTi bo isjim of humor.

Motorist Toots Ghoulish Melody lie was a melancholy motorist of musical bent, with a sardonic sense of the proprieties. That was evident from the selection he played as he fingered the calliope attachment of his auto horn, if the most fastidious argue that his taste was ghoulish, let him remember also that so is part of the motoring profession ghoulish. The uptown streets in the business section were teeming with traffic, as he rolled slowly along to his own musical accompaniment. The traffic policeman winked as he waved his arm for the musical motorist to take the crossing at Eighth and Main. Pedestrians grinned. He was at least an innocent motorist. ..xfor tune he Played was, "Nearer, My God, to Thee."

Manager Herzog, of the Reds, after a lengthy conference with President Herrmann announced that within a few days the Cincinnati team would present an entire new lineup. Herzog determined to keep the team in the first division, declared that he needs hitting strength and in view of that fact has completed a deal that will bring four or five players to this city to trade for four or five of the local players who have not been doing so well this year. Fred Snodgrass of New York Giants, will be traded to the Reds. Snodgrass made himself famous as an outfielder during the world's series of 1912.

LONDON, July 16. George Carpentier, heavyweight champion of Europe and Gunboat Smith, America's white aspirant for the heavyweight championship of the world, meet tonight at Olympia in a twenty round battle which is bound to make ring history. They fight for a purse of $45,000 and what is more important the right tomeet Jack Johnson. Sporting men from the United States and France are here in large numbers and as much interest is being taken as was shown at Paris on the ocasion of the recent Johnson-Mo-ran meeting. It is the first time that the champions of France and America in the heavyweight division (barring negroes) have ever met. Opinion is greatly mixed, The dandy Carpentier is so idolized by the French that it is impossible to get fair judgment of him from Parisians. Few are trying to name the winner. Sentiment among the Americans, strange as it may seem, favors the Frenchman. This is hard to account for. But there are certain men going about saying that the Gunner is not game Just on what they base this insult is hard to determine. Both Possess Punch. Carpentier has been boxing seven

years, although he is not yet 21 years of age. This means that he began to take part in battles in the ring when he was thirteen. Smith began to fight as a professional in 1908. He began his experience in the ring when he was twenty years old. He is now twenty-six. Both men are in full glow of early manhood. They possess also the four essentials of successful pugilists youth, strength, virility and the "wallop." No man has created a greater sensation in France during the last twenty years than Carpentier. He is a public idol. Wherever he goes he is surrounded by a big crowd. Men and women jostle each other to obtain a glimpse of him. Bronze statuettes of him in boxing poise can be found in every city and hamlet in France. Gunboat Smith's real name is Edward Ecklad. He was born May 8, 1888 in Philadelphia. He is a six footer and weighs 189 pounds in fighting trim. He earned his nom-de-plume because he was a gunner in the American navy. WThile a sailor he learned to box. He is the knockout artist "par excellence" among the "white hopes" of America. He has earned more victories with one punch than any other man since the days of John L. Sullivan.

FEDS DUE TO FAIL BEFORE YEAR'S END Zuber, Supporter of Reds, Takes Rap at Organized Ball's Enemy. By C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI. Ohio, July 16. Nothing ia being left undone by Manager Herzog of the Cincinnati club to build up the Reds for a hot finish this season, and to create a nucleus for a pennant-aspiring aggregation next year. The fact that ttus local management has invested $15,000 in players during the past week, securing Outfielder Tvfombley, and Shortstop Derrick from Baltimore for this amount, and subsequently trading Derrick to Chicago for First Baseman Mollwitz. Later in the week the club purchased "Tex" Erwin from Brooklyn to help out in the catching department. Tom Clarke, who has been the team's mainstay behind the bat since McLean was disposed of, being laid up with a broken finger. Other trades and purchases are being contemplated by the club with the idea of landing in the first division this season, if the right material can be secured. Manager Herzog has placed himself on record as being opposed to allowing sentiment to dictate the policy of the Reds. "It is fine to show appreciation of the work of a player," declared Buck the other day, "but that must not prevent benching a player or getting another man in his place when he weakens. The first duty of a base ball club is to give high class sport to its patrons. Must Deliver Goods. In order to do this it is impossible to carry men on the strength of their past reputations. A club must have the men who can deliver the goods now, and when those in the line-up fail to do this, there is but one al

ternative to get players who will deliver. We will continue to add men to the Red's roster until we have a line-up that does things every day. Instead of spasmodically. We are getting pretty close to that condition, now, and once we arrive there we will go right through with cinching a place among the first four." As the present series of East vs. West progresses, the race in the National league is tightening up considerably. New York has been going back since the present series begun, while Boston, at the other end of the string, has been coming forward, there being less than 200 points between the leaders and the tailenders. This is an extraordinary condition at this time of year, and Indicates that the teams

in the . National are more evenly

matched than ever before. Red's Showing a Surprise. The surprise of the season, next to the good showing of the Reds and the Cardinals, has been the failure of the Pittsburghs to strike the gait predicted for them, their present position seventh place being out of proportion to their supposed strength. Boston has hopes of overtaking the Pirates before the present western invasion is over, and promises to use the Reds for a stepping stone in the coming series, which includes a game next Sunday, July 19, when one or more new men will be found in the Red's line-up. With a prospect of losing every player who has Jumped a contract to join the new organization, and with gate

! receipts amounting to little or nothing.

except in Baltimore and Chicago, the Federal league looks like a forlorn hope. With injunctions pending against Chief Johnson, Armando MarBans and Hal Chase, and others in prospect, so that the men who have jumped draw no salaries, it is certain that the "rubber-legging" is about over. It would be surprising to see the new league stick out the season, and if it does, it will require radical reorganization to put it in the running for another season.
