PLURAL MARRIAGES CEASE.

The dead issue. the practice of pc
lygamy, was again brought before the
minds of the people by Mr. Loar. We
cannot understand why all issue that
has been dead and buried for the last
81 years should be reiterated by an in
telligent being. Once more we quote
President Joseph +. Smith: plural
marriages have ceased in the church,
There isn't a man today in this church
or anywhere else outside of It, who
has authority TO solemnize a plural
marriage, not one"
The stereopticon views given by Mr..
Loar were good. While there were
some misleading statements in regard
TO the characters of some of the pOr
traits, yet We have no desire 10 criti-
else as we believe the views were self:

FRANK BAKER, THE HOME-RUN
SLUGGER OF WORLDS SERIES
BY FREDERIC LIgs, In Baseball Magazine.

careful coaching by Mack and Capt.
Davis, in the American league. Friends
of Harry Lord may not agree with me
in this statement. but though there is
little to choose between the two stars,
think Baker is entitled to the benefit
of the doubt. In fielding there is little
to choose. Lord is a little faster on
his pins, and though also a wonderful
hitter, I think that Bakers long wal
lops are inserted at more timely
moments.
In the heated struggle between the
Tigers and Athletics for the 1903
gonfalon, Baker was the centre figure
in the great Cobb Baker spiking con-
| troversy that almost resulted in the
famous Ty Raymond's being mobbed
by a bunch of rabid Phillie rooters. Iii
a warm contest in Tigerviile, the Roy
ston terror slid into Frank feet first,
and the Trappe citizen was badly cut
up.
In 1910 Mack's youngsters-Col-
Inns, Baker and BarTy-worked better
than ever, and the crafty New En-
lander walked away with the flag.
Baker had been married in the fall of
1909 to his sweetheart of childhood
days, a rural miss from Trappe. In
the spring of 1910, Mrs. Baker was in
poor health, and it had a great effect
on the young Slugger. He was COM
PEELED to absent himself from the team
on several occasions when he was
most needed. When he did play his
heart was not in his work, though he
never Jagged, but with a young wife,
lowering between life and death, the
young man could not be expected to be
at his best.
Never did a young slugger live up to
his repHtation more than did Baker in
the worlds series of 1910. The Mack
men surely did punish the sphere
most barbarously in that event, and
Baker was one of the stalwarts hit
ting the Cub boxmen for an average of
.409.
Baker is a quiet, retiring kind of q
citizen, who prefers his country home
to city life. He passed up the $500
that went with the trip to Cuba last
fall, preferring to spend the time with
Mrs. Baker and his baby girl He is
devOtedly fond of his home, and never
happier than when playing 'horsy" for
his little daughter. Last season the
Philadelphia scribes invariably spoke
of Frank as Papa Baker.
Like most ball players, he is fond of
all out sports, being especially
adept with the fishing rod and the
shot gun. The country he comes from
abounds in good duck shooting, and he
is always glad to conduct parties of
White Elephants, who take kindly to
this particular brand of cunning.
Baker is most popular with his
team mates, and is an idol in the eyes
of Philadelphia fandom. Though he
was spiked by Cobb few seasons
ago, Baker is one of the Royston Cy-
clones most ardent admirers. In this
respect he is not unlike his talented
team-mate Eddie Collins, who believes
that Ty is q complete ball team in
| himself
Bakers batting records since play
| ing professional baseball are as fol-

1t is q remarkable story how Baker
and Herzog, the rival third sackers
in this series, have always been asso-
ciated since they were nothing more
than big kids. If the question was
asked, who found this brilliant slug
ger and infielder, Baker?'' the answer
would be in ninety nine cases out OF q
hundred, Connie Mack. 1t is true,
Connie took Frank when he was an
uncut stone and polished him upon his
star combination.
But, who found the rough stone?
Who gave the rough stone its first
chance to develop? The answer to
this question is no other than Charley
Herzog, the rival third sacker on the
Giants. Back in 1905, Herzog man
aged an independent team in the Cum
berland Valley. Charley was always
a flnancier, and never slipped up on a
money proposition.
He had played with Baker when
they were younger. and Frank signed
up with him as a pitcher Now comes
the part that Herzog had in develop
ing for Connie Mack one of the best
third sackers the country has ever
known. Frank was not a bad pitcher,
but an inspiration seemed to strike
Rerzog that Baker was never cut out
for a finger. How'd you like to try
the 1HISlO dSheO CHdTleY OF THIN
one day. Frank declared it suited him
to a tee, and from that time on Baker
became Herzog's third baseman. He
could hit them a mile, and was a
fancy fielder, though still a little I'M
couth.
Let US bark back to Baker again,
and review Franks early life. He first
saw the light of day in Trappe, Md,
March 10, 1886. Trappe is some
fA oF
and is an agricultural community,
noted for it's. fine peaches and cante-
loupes. Among its finest peaches We're
those plucked by Managers McGilli
cuddy and McGraW. Bakers father
was tiller of the soil, and Frank was
a typical country boy. He attended
the district public school, and his life
was that of the average rural youth
until his ball playing began to attract
public attention.
When Mack took his team down
south in the spring of 1909, the ac-
counts sent up about Baker were al
most too good to be true. 1t had not
taken the youngster long to show his
class. He hammered those lengthy
drives all over the south, and every
day his hitting crop included a homer,
sandwiched between a few other
lengthy clouts.
Baker was not able to start the sea-
son of 1909 with the Athletics, the day
that Shibe Park, the pioneer of mod
ern baseball structures, was thrown
open.
However, when he did start, he
surely made the fur fly. They had
said down in the south that he could
bat, and he surely lived UP to those
nice words.
His fielding also was soon to attract
attention. At first he was likely to in
sert a faulty throw when it hurt, but
the unruly tendencies of his whip

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Cyrus Ross Jaynes.
known to the racing world as ICY
Janines, the old soldier is dead at

a familiar figure in the sporting world
for the last thirty years.
In the old days of the Garfield Park

had accumulated several fortunes, but
at the time of his death, it is said,
was dependent on a small pension
from the government.
Mr.. Jaynes was veteran of the
civil war and was several times
wounded while in service. He was a
prisoner in Libby, Andersonville, and
two other southern prisons. He was
seventy years old.
