V: tract, Says Kinsella.
INSIDE OF DEAL IS BARED
Stalling Tucks Xew Plank in l'cn
mint I'latrorm und Announces
Tlvat II Is "Off I'mps''
for This Season.
BY CHRISTY MATHEWSO
NEW YORK. May 10. (Special.)
McGraw seldom takes a step without
knowing where he is stepping. 1 he
. boss of the Giants lifted Kauff from
the Federal League, and organized
baseball turned him back. Therefore,
the inside story of this deal should
be interesting to the fans. It was
told me by "Dick" Kinsella, the scout
of the club and McG raw's adviser.
The boy didn't have a contract
with the Brooklyn club," declared
nick." "McGraw thought he was
right before he took him, and he was.
. When Ward signed Kauff up to a
contract at Krown's Wells this Spring,
he did not give the boy a copy of the
document. After the club came back
to Brooklyn. Ward told Kauff, so he
says, that the previous salary was
too high, and it wauld have to be re
duced. Kauff complained about this.
"I knew Kauff out in the American
Association, and he came and told me
his trobules. 1 believe he was truth
ful. "1 haven't a contract with any one
now," he said. 'I am a free agent.
Mr. Ward won't give me a copy of the
contract I signed with him, saying It
is at too high a figure.'
1 naturally tipped off McGraw
shout it. and we went to see the young
star. He told 'Mac' the same thing
he had told me. so McGraw signed
lit in. Then organized baseball turned
liim back. A week after Mr. Hemp
stead had decided not to keep the
player, he was still unsigned to a
Brooklyn contract and legally could
have heen grabbed by. any club in
baseball. Of course, all this got 'Mac's'
Coat."
Mctiraw Apparently In Itlght.
Therefore, it would seem that lie
Oraw thought he was in the right be
fore he signed Kauff to a contract,
and he still appears to have been in
the right. Kinsella knows the ins and
outs of that deal better than any man
. in the country, and he -would not say
Kauff really was a free agent unless
he was sure of it. "Silent Dick" does
little talking anyway. It looks as if
organized baseball ran out on McGraw
in that deal.
Kinsella is one of the best judges
of a ballplayer In the country, and he
is very conservative about indorsing
a. recruit until he has looked at him
long and hard. He is noted for bring
ing in few men from the "bushes" in
his hauls, but those he does recom
mend are usually worthy of close scrut
iny. He knew Kauff out in the Am
erican Association and therefore "Silent
Dick's" opinion of him should carry
tump weight.
"The boy Is a great ballplayer and
would have fitted In on the Giants
fine," he said. "He certainly would
have helped McGraw now with all
these injured athletes on his hands.
It is too bad John could not keep
him. He would have been ono of the
big stars o the country if properly
handled, but this mlxup is liable to
hurt his future."
It was on Kinsella's recommendation
alone that McGraw signed Kauff. It
was good enough for "Mac."
Mailings Says lie la "Off Vmp." .
George Stallings has tacked down a
new plank in his pennant platform this
season, for he has announced that he is
"off" the "umpa." He was recently
quoted as saying that Klem was the
only competent official in the National
League, but George has since retracted
that statement, or, rather, declared he
did not make it.
"The umpires are giving me satis
faction this season," Stullings told me
one day during the Boston series, "and
I am going to leave them alone. I also
have instructed my players to stop
kicking, (lowdy and Tyler were forced
to pay out of their own pockets the
fines which were levied on them by
I'resident Tener for their mlxup in
Philadelphia and my other players will
be forced to do the same thing- if they
are fined. We won't hold the satchel
any hinger.""
George will be wearing a halo on
the bench the first thing we know.
Ho is satisfied with the umpiring now,
but wait and see how well satisfied he
Is if his club starts to lose a few and
regularly. It seems to me I still hear
the echo of a lot of "beefing" along
about the first of last June when Stall
ings and his club were down in last
place. According to my recollection,
tieorge was far from satisfied with the
umpiring he was being handed by the
National League staff at that time. Al
titude always makes a difference in the
point of view.
Place In Running Considered.
Stallings is satisfied now becousa his
club Is going pretty well, and it is
fairly easy for any of us to be con
tented with conditions when things are
"breaking" our way, no matter what
out line may be. "Connie" Mack's
club kept off the umpires, but it was
no difficult thing for them to do be
cause they were generally winning. I
wonder if they will stick as rigidly to
the principle this season should the
club continue to slump.
Stallings Is going to have a tough
Job on his hands to keep "off" the
"umps". when John J.'Kvers gets back
in the game. He is the "stormy petrel"
of baseball anynlay, and let one of the
mask wielders call a close one against
him, and you are liable to hear him
"beef." Can you imagine "Johnny" go
ing through a season without an argu
ment with an umpire? If you can, then
imagine water flowing uphill.
If other club owners adopt the course
of I'resident Gaffney in refusing to pay
the fines of players who get into dis
repute with the umpires, a lot of kick
ing will be cut out, that's sure. It
always has been customary for the
nuns to assume rines. Take "Heinie"
Zimmerman." for instance. If he had
been forced to pay out of his own
pocket all the fines he has had plast
ered on his bankroll, Instead of having
earned anything by his baseball work,
he would owe the Chicago club money
today.
Let a few club owners make the play
ers pay their own fines, and you will
hear some howling. 1 don't think thi3
rule would be altogether a good thing
taken generally, for a lot of players
would lose their "pep" if they could
not wranjrle with some one. The argu
ments with umpires and players on op
posing clubs keep men on thetr toes
snd full of pepper. Look how the old
Cubs used to work at this.

Ought to Strengthen Team. ,
"I haven't heard anything of Rodgers'
coming," said W. W. McCredie yester
day. "But if it is true it will be good
news to Walter. Walt has always liked
Rodgers, and. while fully cognizant of
Bill's throwing weakness, ho rates
Rodgers as one of the best minor
league infielders in the business.
"Rodgers" main forte, of course, is
his batting. He drives in a lot of runs
during the season, and he covers con
siderable ground, too. His coming
ought to strengthen our team. Stumpf
is bv vocation a third baeeman and it
wouldn't surprise me to see him
switched over to third, with Davis.

CLUBS TO ORGANIZE
New Power-Boat Association
on Rivers Planned.
ACTION IS DUE TO BREAK
Withdrawal of Portland Body From
Pacific International Organiaa-
tlort Over Decision in Baby
Bell Case Opens Way.
Now that the Portland Motorboat
Club has withdrawn from the Pacific
International Powerboat Association
because of the decision in the case of
the Wastrel of Seattle and Baby Bell
of Portland, plans are being made
by the officers of the local clnb to form
an organization to be known as the
Willamette-Columbia Rivers rower
boat Association, with headquarters in
Portland.
The withdrawal of the Portland Mo
torboat Club from the association has
caused much comment. George J. Kelly,
secretary of the Portland Motorboat
Club, sent the official resignation and
a copy of the resolution adopted at the
recent meeting of the local directors,
to Daniel C. Pratt, secretary of the as
sociation in Seattle. .
"Our withdrawal will not have any
effect on the coming racing season,
said George J. Kelly yesterday. "The
only change will be that we will not
adhere to the rules of the Northern As
sociation. Boats To Be Entered.
"Although the Astoria regatta is run
under the auspices of the Powerboat
Association, we will enter our boats
just the same. The dates set are July
1, 2 and 3. Ninety-nine out or lou ooats
attending the meet are members of the
Portland Motorboat Club, so you can
see that it is almost essential that we
send boats.
"The awarding of ".the raoe to the
Wastrel of Seattle, after the Baby Bell
had clearly shown her superiority, was
an injustice to Mr. Spencer, owner of
the Baby Bell and a member of the
Portland Motorboat Club.
In the new proposed Willamette-Co
lumbia Rivers Powerboat Association
every motorboat club on either river
will be taken in as members.
Xeir Clubs To Be Admitted.'
Several clubs are in the making and
these will be admitted. Such places as
Eugene, Corvallis, Albany, Buttevllle,
Wilsonville, St. Johns, Linnton, Rainier,
St. Helens, Camas, Vancouver, Hood
River, The Dalles, Lewiston, White Sal
mon, Kennewick and several others are
expected to join hands with the Port
land Motorboat Club in forming the
new organization.
The directors of the Pacific Interna
tional Powerboat Association, accord
ing to local club members, have said
that with the withdrawal of the Port
land organization the "last bar against
the affiliation of the North and South
Coast yacht clubs into one big racing
organization that will Include sail and
power yachts" has been removed.
"Never was that subject broached to
us," said George J. Kelly. "At present
there are only five or six clubs at the
most connected with the northern as
sociation, so now its directors are try
ing to get Victoria and Vancouver to
come into the fold."

week's official visit to Lios Angreles.
asserted positively 'today that the 18-
player limit rule is here to stay and
that the Coast League managers will
have to live up to it. So that there can
be no chances of Juggilnsr with the
rule, such as suspending- a olayer one
day and reinstating: him the next. Pres
ident Baum has laid aown a set of rets-
ulations that must be observed. A
manager will be permitted to have mora
tnan is players on the payroll but
there will have to be some legitimate
aisaoieti players on the list.
To hold the managers in line, the
league must be notified of the play
ers' disablements and an official list
will be maintained. A player cannot
be reinstated without notifying league
neaaquaners ana getting the proper
sanction. This is being done so that
a manager cannot ring in a player not
counted in tne limit in the ninth in
ning or the like and put another player
on the disabled list so as to beat the
rule.
The league head said that all the
ciuds with the exception of San Fran
