KAUFF'S ACTION HELPS RESTORE FAITH IN 0. B.

BY C. H. ZU3ER. CINCINNATI, Mar 5. That organized baseball is thoroughly on the level and has not the slightest desire to adopt some of the guerilla tactics which made the Federal League infamous, was clearly demonstrated in the case of Benny Kauf, the star outfielder of the Brooklyn .team, who signed a contract with the" New York Nationals on the assurance that he was a free agent, and then was not allowed to play with the Giants. The first protest against his playing with the New Yorks came from President Gaffney of the Boston club; then President Tener decided he mightt not play in the National League; the National Commission then declared that Kauff was ineligible to play in organized baseball, and then came the New York club itself with a statement that it had found that the Brooklyns had a bona fide contract with Kauff, consequently his agreement with the Giants was null and void. Quick action, like that in the Kauff case, will do much to restore the confidence of the public in base ball a confidence that was sadly shaken by the dishonest and unsportsmanlike tactics of the Feds and some few disgruntled players. There's been a tightening up of the race in the National League during the past week except on the part of the Nw Yorks, who still are losing with some degree of regularity. While the Reds have lost more games than they have won, there is no real cause for alarm over this showing, as the losses were due mainly to bobles on the part of the fielders, a performance that is not likely to become habitual. As soon as the men settle down to their regular stride again the team will regain the ground lost. Of course, Herzog and his men are taking on somewhat of a handicap right now in that they are playing on foreign diamonds for about a month, only one game, that of next Sunday, May 9 with the Pirates. Thereafter the team will be on the road until the last week in May, laying all the Eastern teams before returning home. The unfortunate mix-up between

Manager Herzog, of the Reds, and Umpire Rigler at St. Louis on Saturday, rather emphasizes the general contention of players that some umpires exceed their authority in dealing with players. In the case of Rigler, he not only accused Herzog of spiking him, when this Injury really was inflicted by "Red" Killifer, but he forgot himself so far as to brutally strike the Red manager in the face with his mask. There was no provocation for this assault, as not even a harsh name was passed by Herzog. Under the circumstances it's up to President Tener to make an example of his umpire rather than to cripple the Reds by suspending Herzog for sticking up for his rights. SPEEDWAY ENTRIES TRY FOR POSITIONS ON STARTING LINE

Baseball Standings

INDIANAPOLIS, May 5. With the entry list for the next Indianapolis 500-mile race a closed book, the attention of racing fans is next drawn to the elimination trials for that contest. May 20, 21 and 22, which will reduce the field to the maximum number of thirty-tnree. Eight of the forty one cars nominated, (including the "unknown), will fall by the wayside, either because they cannot make the speedway's eighty mile an hour minimum for a lap, or else because they are not quite as fast as their rivals. A fraction of a second's difference in time may prove the end of some of them. Added interest is attached to the elimination trials this year, because of the rule which numbers cars and ranges the mat the starting line on race day with reference to their speed, the fastest car receiving No. 1 and being placed in first position, next the pole. It is thought this rule will make all the entrants hump themselves to the limit, regardless of whether they are sure of a place in the line-up or not, as a position well to the front will give them an unquestioned advantage, especially if they are in the first row. Trials will be held in the inverse order of entry, as last year, the last car started first and the first car last. This is to give the early entrants some compensation for their promptness in reporting.

The fickleness of fandom is being I

shown in New York and Philadelphia, where the crowds are giving the go-by to the Giants and the Athletics and are paying tribute to the Yankees and the Phillies. The achievements of the Giants and Athletics in other years apparently have been forgotten; the miserable work of the Yankees and Phillies in the other years has been forgotten. It seems to be the case of "it isn't what you used to be, it's what you are today." The Giants have blown themselves to a miserable start while the once down-trodden Yankees have gotten away in a better position than at any time in the last five or six years. As a result, the fans have turned from the once mighty and once idolized McGraw outfit to worship at the feet of Wild Bill Donovan's Yankees. In Philadelphia the Athletics who have won greater fame and glory than any other team that ever played under one standard, have started

poorly. The Phillies, who never have

won a pennant, blew themselves to an

amazing start And the fans have deserted the Macklan crowd and have

gone over to the Phillies. Connie Wrecks Team. Those who feel that Connie Mack wrecked his machine by letting no of Eddie Collins. Jack Coombs. Chief Bender and Eddie Plank, claim that Connie did the wrecking at the worst possible time. They point out that If he had wrecked his team before the start of the 1914 season It wouldn't have resulted so disastrously in loss of attendance as. It has- this year, because last year the Phillies were just a dub outfit and, therefore, the fans would not have had much choice between seeing the dub Phillies and the wrecked Athletics, and it would have been an even split on the attendance. But this year, with the Athletics going poorly and the Phillies treating themselves to a flying start, the situation is far different and a very disastrous one to Connie Mack.
