BAKER CANNED BECAUSE
 OF WEAKNESS AT BAT

Once upon 8 time Frank Baker of the Athletics one of the greatest slug gers that the game has ever known, was 'scannedn because of weak hit ting. It happened back in 1905 or@1 06 Bakers work with an independent team attracted the attention of one of McGrawss scouts. Baker was signed and turned over to the Baltimore club laof the Eastern League for seasoning g.. He lasted just a short while, and was kIet out stbecause he's a punk fielder and he can't hit"
 Baker is regarded as a, clumsy field CT, but he seems to cover a, grAstt amount of ground just the same His throwing is strong and accurate, and he's always calm and cool. Whatever defects there may be in his fielding are more than made up by his terrific batting powers. Baker hits the ball farther and harder, on an average, than any man that ever broke into the fbig leagues. Bakers powerful arms and shoulders enable him to give a terrific swing. He is about six feet tall and puts his whole weight of 180 pounds behind every swing and when he connects the ball travels to the far corners of the field It is rarely that Baker hits to the inffeld.
 Baker has marvellous strength. He seems to be all bone and muscle. He swings a huge bat with the ease that an ordinary man would show in swin ging a golf club. They tell of Bakers great feats of strength back in Maryland, where he owns several farms and where he spends his win ters. Baker despite the plaudits of fandom. hurled at him ever since he came into the big league, is modest and unassuming. His voice rarely is heard on a. ball field and seldom off it. He has no had habits. He never has smoked or drank, and he is home lover Baker is never so hap py as when he is back in his Trappe, Md, home with his wife and little family.
 What I am in baseball, owe very largely to Charley Herzog,'' declares Baker. He gave me a chance to learn baseball and he helped me through my early career. He isn't much older than I am, yet he always was fatherly in his attitude toward me I must have been pretty poor player when got that job with Ridg- ley team back in 1908, but Charley. who was manager, was patient with me.
 Instead of banning me for blunders. he spent much of his time coaching me. When Charley went to Cambridge he took me along with him. The next year Herzog went to Reading and he influenced the man agement there to give me trial at

PROGRESS|VES ARE
NOT DISCOURAGED
Colby Says Bull Moose is Not
Worrying Over Result of
Passaic Election.

The Progressives are not discour-
aged by the result of the election In
the Seventh Congressional district,
according TO former State Senator
Everett Colby. While the result was
deplorable, he said at his home in
Llewelyn Park. West Orange, last
night, they are so confident of their
own situation that they are not wor-
rying.
Mr.. Colby said there was no doubt
that the result OF the election ind-

He said ne thought the great labor
strike at Paterson had much to do
with the result. He believed that IL
drew heavily from the radical Pro-
gressiVe vote. which went to the So
cialists. This, he thought, accounted
for a large part of the loss IF the
ProgressIves. He said that as his
party had made no real campaign and
il was seen that the Socialists would
poll heavy vote. many radical Pro-
gressiVes, who were not radical
enough to want q Socialist elected,
voted for the candidate most likely
to defeat Demarest, and that was
Drukker.
