HOME RUN" BAKER GOT THAT
 MONAKER YEARS AGO TODAY

in big league circles as poultry mo- lars Baker, admittedly the greatest third baseman of them all, was born on a farm near Trappe, Md, a little over twenty-six years ago. His boy hood was spent working on. a farm, and he continues a. farmer in the in- tervals between seasons. He began his professional baseball career in the Eastern Shore league, little Mary land organization. His team mates included the late Simon Nichols and Charley Herzog, who was later to win fame with the New York Giants. J. Frank made great local reputation, and Jack Dunn, of the Baltimore club in the Eastern League, offered him a job. He wasn't given an opportunity to display his line of goods in an Oriole uniform, but was sent to Read ing, of the Tri-State league, which needed third sacker. Connie Mack, who is wonder at scenting out prom ising talent, soon got wind of Baker, and after trial snapped him up. Baker made good with a rush, and has continued making good His two home runs, in the last worlds series came at critical times and went a long way toward returning his team the winner

PRINCETON, YALE AND
 WEST POINT LOOK BEST
EASTERN COLLEGE BASEBALL , CHAMPIONSHIP BETWEEN TRIO
 WITH NAVY AS POSSIBILITY.

Princeton, Yale and West Point look to, be among the best Of the college teams in this section of the country, with, the Naval Academy setting the pace for the south. From present in dications it appears that the leader Of the varsity baseball race for 1912 would appear from one or another of this quartet. The Tiger can attribute the successful opening of the season to the possession of a number of heavy hitters and a well-rOunded team of Ffielders The efficiency of the other three is largely due to the possession of first-class battery artists. Scott of Yale, Merillat of the Army, and Siebert of the Navy, are twirlerS who compare not unfavorable with some of the first-class men in the profes- Sionai ranks. 'f
 Sam White. who won the intercol- legiate football championship for the Tigers, has already succeeded in ac- counting for a couple Of the seasons baseball games. Councilman, the able Brown University boxman. had him guessing in the game played at Provf- dence, but White put up a gilt-edged exhibition of fielding and the large area of ground he covered was a big factor in holding the hitting precent age of the Providence college down in bringing the 2-1 victory to Prince tOD
 John McGraw is sponsor for the statement that the Blue team is the best which has taken the field in years. He highly commended the work of Scott in the game which the youngster pitched against the Giants, and remarked that the hitting and fielding abilities of the college play CTS were the best he had seen on the part of a univrsity nine in years. This is high praise tothe new system of coaching up at New Haven, although to give full justice to Billy Lush, erst- while coach at Yale and now manager in the International league, it must be admitted that six of the men now playing for Yale were developed dur ing his regime. Still Frank Quimby the graduate who is now in charge, has taken hold of things in way which is cause for congratulation.
 Yale has not lost a game this year. The team is vel equipped with pitch CTS, Scott, Brindesmade and the two Browns forming a quartet which looks better than the staff of any rival.

Ate Nails and Pins.

Cases of the presence of foreign bodies in the stomach are not at all rare, but it is seldom that such case as that recorded by Dr. A. Fl. Wander yit and Dr. H. P. Mills is reported, says the London Lancet. A mr1latto woman, aged thirty-three years, was admitted into an asylum for acute mania ending in dementia, and she died seven years later, but she had never had any signs of disease of the digestive system. She was often seen to pick up nails and pins, but was never seen to swallow any. At the necropsy the stomach stretched down to the left lilac fossa in the form of a long pouch, in which lay mass of foreign bodies, weighing five pounds, and consisting of more than 1,400 nails, screws, thimbles and other ob- jects. Some other foreign bodies had made their way through the wall of the stomach and had caused the for nation of adhesions. s @

A Forgotten Monument.

N VI 9SesSt ssSssAsitOss
 \ Washington monument that was never erected occupied the attention of the citizens of New York in 1S47. It was to tower far above any other structure that 1t might be seen many miles out at sea. Several thousand dollars were actually raised and the cornerstone was laid with ceremony in Hamilton square, which covered the blocks now contained between Third and Fifth avenues, Sixty-sixth and Sixty-ninth streets. This was before Central park had been outlined. Ham, ilton square was portion of the old common lands of the city. 1t is not known what became of the Washing ton monument cornerstone. The mon ument association gradually ceased to exist. The $1.OO0,O0O monument was forgotten, and when the ground once known as Hamilton square was cut up and the streets run through no record remains as to what was done with the cornerstone and its leaden box filled with memorials of the city in 1847.-- Exchange.
