The Giants simply could not hit him Jsafely Kauff's terrific wallop took the fjieart out of the big right-hander, Four Safe Bingles." Evidence that his spirit was brofen was afforded in the very next inning when four safe hits were registered sff his delivery. And also. after Benny's fenr-ply smash the Giants played with a Tigor.

They pjayed a tighter 9 game and became more aggressive on pionship knocks, out two home runs in one game he must be promptly classified as a baseball hero. Such Is the fame of Benny Kauff, cen-terfielder for the New York Giants. Benjamin leaned on the pill yesterday afternoon for two circuit swats in the game with the Chicago White Sox and sent indescribable thrills through thousands of wildly excited baseball fans. They used to call Benny Kauff "The Shrinking Viole.t." This was a sobriquet handed to him by certain metropolitan baseball scribes, because Benny Certainly did love the limelight of publicity. Particularly was this true when he was.a member of the Federal league and played with the aggregation that represented Indianapolis in the Gil-more circuit.

Later' when Kauff joined the Giants he kicked up a rumpus thai took some baseball diplomacy to iron out." But you have got to hand it to Benny Kauff Instead of trying to ridicule and find fault with his playing the metropolitan scribes today are seeking dictionaries to discover laudatory adjectives appropriate for the occasion; Probably Kauff did not come up to their expectation's as-a batsman during the pasfseason, but he did what no other chap has done thus far in the series.

In the two games at Chicago and the first on the Polo grounds Kauff was one of the hitless wonders.

He began ordering onw of his men to lay tha ball down. fio, effective was jhis change that several pulled base hits out of what ordinarily would have been sacrifice bunts. The White Sox were stumped by te switch.

HARRY GREB GIVES Milwaukee Middlewei ght Appeared to be Slow Against Dashing Style of Pittsburgh Lad Other Results. Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, gave Gus Christie of Milwaukee a nifty lacing last night at the Broadway auditorium.

The two middleweight fought ten rounds and it can be truthfully that practically every round belonged to Greb. The Pittsburgrher was the aggressor throughout and milled through the bout in his characteristic style of rushing and smashing with rights and lefts. Christie's nose banged up and his left eye was cut. He stopped many punches on the jaw and to the body, never did he show any signs of taking- a. count.

Elmer Doane and Young Brady of Syracuse put up a thrilling six-round hnut that find th nmwii dflie-btpd. Doane won a shade, but found Brady a tough and willing mixer at all times. Benny Hilliard outfought Spider Lyons in four rounds. Benny worked fast throughout the contest and became so energetic that he once walloped Referee Suttner. Young Cooney put up a game fight against Al Proctor, but the latter was too rangy for Cooney.

Speed won for Proctor. Patsy Johnson got a shade on Joe Marcus, but the latter furnished a harder argument than what Johnson had The margin in favor of Johnf son was slight. This was a good four-? round bout with plenty of action. Joe Moran and Young Frenchy fcught four rounds to a draw. Dick Nugent and Joe Suttner officiated as the referees; HABTEE CRIBBAGE CLUB.

The kick-off will be at 3 o'clock: in the afternoon. The Blue and White souad has eone far in preparation for this, and other games of a strenuous schedule, which nas been revised, since the ad vent, of Tommy Hewitt, former star quarter on the Michigan team, who is helping out.

Coach Powell by taking the line player in hand, leaving Powell to give his entire attention to the backfleld. The results in both departments have been gratifying and the eleven is rounding Into form. They go through two solid hours of practice every a lively scrimmage against Techical High school's sturdy team included.

With the local football season well under way and the players rapidly hardening themselves to the grind it looks as though the fans are to see some great battling in the two big games tomorrow. The main attraction will be at Lafayette field, where Lafayette will clash with Dunkirk and Hutchinson will make its initial appearance on- a local gridiron playing against North Tonawanda high chool.

Lafayette will be nut to a real test tor the Dunkirkers are a heavy 'team and have already registered a victory over the Masten Park outfit. Coach Champlin of Lafayette has worked like a Trojan With his souad durinir the 11.1a wurk and great improvement has been shown. especially In the -work of the ends. Although Bill Kibler was rather rouehlv handled in last week's game It is ex pected he will be on the iob Saturday ready to shunt back any Dunkirk charges -that are started around his end. Chet Amos, the best little tackier seen in a Lafayette uniform in two years, will be at the fullback position.

The regular line, consisting of Graves, Lenham, Mug-ler, Bowl and Reed, will be seen in action. Hutch Has Speed Although Hutchinson has had to strug gle along without its captain and with only two veterans of last year's team, it' is said that Coach Eddie Gottsch has rounded out a mighty fast team of youngsters. Siegfried and Ross showed great work against Niagara Falls last Saturday and are counted on to bear the brunt of the defensive work against North Tonawanda. The Lumberjacks put up a magnificent battle against Masten Park two weeks ago and they may hang a defeat on the brown and blue Hasten at Falls Masten Park will have a tough nut to crack when they meet the Niagara University Reserves at Niagara Falls. The university squad is called "One Man Team," but that one man, "Red" Carroll, is good enough to beat almost any ordinary team single handed.

Technical will trek to Lock port to meet the high school- team representing that Plaf e- Dlace. Cant. Yates is confident that the little red team will have an easy time with the ruraJites. YACHT GLUB TO CLOSE SATURDAY Festivities Will Mark Finish of 1917 Season Entertaining Programme Has Been Arranged. The 1917 season of the Buaio Yacht club will be formally closed Saturday night with appropriate exercises and festivities.

At high noon tomorrow. Commodore William J. Gunnell will lower the club burgee and his own ensign, leaving only the national colors flying. In the evening there will be a cabaret entertainment and a buffet luncheon. A toaft will be drunk to the absent members now serving at sea and at naval training stations.

Trophies and Winners Incidental to the ceremonies, championship honors will be awarded as follows: To the sloop yacht Chaperon, championship for 1917. To the sloop yacht Chaperon, the Edward Michael cup for winning two consecutive clnb championships. The Chaperon was the clnb -champion for 19 US and 1917.

NIAGARA JES. DO WEIX The Niagara Juniors are great credit for a 13 to 13 tie with the Tonawanda Groves Sunday, the Groves being a much heavier team. The press correspondent says the feature was the 70-yard run of "Demon Dushan, the dashing Dutchman." It was a real tussle and the Groves gave the Niagaras every ranfiliiwrati" ui splendid treatment.

Busch and Staub, formerly afrend, have been replaced by such cap- able men as Parent, E. Abt, Westphall and Hobson, all three making excellent ends, giving Capt. Gutekunst a task worthy of any college coach to pick out "two regulars.

The line fcaajbeen greatly strengthened by the additiffnal help of Holly Hatch, who, being injured in the earlier part of the season, was out of several important games.
