BAKER IMPROVING
At THE HOSPITAL
Doctors Found That Player Was
in Dangerous Con-
dition.

Reports from the Memorial Hos
pital Monday are to the effect that
Shortstop Baker has pasted the danger
point, and that his recovery is now
only a matter of time.
Until this time no details of the op-
Grafton have been given out, but ii
developed Monday that the player had
one of the most severe cases that the
doctors have ever seen at the hospital.
The appendix was swollen to an i'm
mense size and had burst when the
operation was performed. 1t appeared
at first that the intestines had be-
come infected and this caused the ply
sicians great uneasiness. 1t was found
upon close examination. however. that
there was only small speck of in
lection, and this was quickly taken
care of.
1t is believed that had the opera
ton been delayed a few days more
the player would not have recovered.
The physicians marvel at the fact that
Baker was able to continue playing
when he was In such critical con-
dition.
Bakers mother, who came to Rich
mond to be at his bedside during his
illness. was suddenly called home Sun
day by the news that another son
had been seriously injured In a rail-
road wreck. The telegram stated that
his skull had been fractured, and that
an operation was about to be per-
formed in an effort to save his life.

all the publishers interested In fur

the Attorney General, arising over a
controversy regarding an unexpected
license tax requirement, Will be at an
end.
A conference between one of the
more prominent publishers. the Attor-

the Department of Public Instruction
was held Saturday.
At the conclusion of the conference
Saturday evening the Department OF

been made in the wording OF the old
agreements with reference TO ex-
change requirements.
The Attorney General believes from
what he understood at the conference
that the publishers will accept this
new contract, and will shortly begin
the delivery of books.
