able whether the game has ever had a
better man III his position, for he is not
only a great fielder. but classes with the

The most encouraging feature about
Morgan is that he has shown steady i'm

Since he has grown accustomed to second
base he has developed rapidly. for he is
also a good base runner and dangerous
hitter.
That the present reserve clause in base

generally conceded. and yet some OF the
demands which the Players Fra ternity is

Frank Baker of the Athletics is the
only PLAYER in ba Sc ball who has hit more
than .:;oD in three world series. Baker
performed this feat By batting over the
mark in 1910. 1911 and 1913. John Mey-
ers. the Giants catcher. missed a very
good chance to join him by getting hurt
early i'll the big series this year.
He is in the class with Chance. Eyets

who have hit 800 in two successive Sc
ries. Holman of the Cubs and Eddie
Collins OF the Athletics have. hit 800
twice. but skipped a series between.
Better in the Series.
One peculiarity of Bakers record is
that he has batted better in the series
than in the regular season. In 1910 he
hit 100 in the series. .344 in the season.
In 1911 il was 81, against .3I1, and this
year he boosted his series mark to .4JO,
while he hit but .:'3 through the year.
