Home Run" Baker did not have a
chance TO gain additional fame in the
last worlds series as in the previous
year, but the distinguished citizen of
Trappe. Nd. did land another distinction
than any other player in the Johnson
circuit. Er
Records prove that the home run gent
was very active young man with his
bat. even II Quaker fans did entertain
fears for some time that batting was
becoming a lost art with him. Following
the 1911 worlds series, In which J.
Franklin shattered the hopes OF the
Giants with his mighty clouts. the fans
expected him to keep up the heavy slug
gins, and because he was unable to
respond with a hit every time the fans
impiored him to hit 'er OUT II was
said in some sections that he was going
back.
But figures don't lie, and in this case
they uphold the brilliant third baseman's
reputation as an exceptionally valuable
batsman. Baker was responsible for ls3
runs credited to the Mackmen the past
season. OF this number lis runners came
home on safe hits by the star slugger,
while eight tailed at the expense of
sacrifice flies which did not affect his bat
ting average, and twelve came over the
pan on infield hits on which he was
thrown out. s
