BAKER WON'T JOIN
ST. LOUIS BROWNS
Connie Mack Laughs at Tale,
Saying That SIugger Has
Quit the Diamond for Good.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2c.-"I don't
think that the offer Of more money
will tempt ]. Franklin Baker to recon-
slider his decision to retire from base
ball, but believe that ne Is sincere In
his stand. and Is out of the game for
good. Certainly. won't make the
strongest effort to get him back. That
story that the ST. Louis Browns nave
first call on his services is all wrong.
Col. Bob Hedges has never mentioned
his name to me-.
That's what Connie Mack said today
In reply to the report that Baker might
stick in baseball If better financial
inducements were offered
II base this belief" resumed the gaunt
general, ION my talks with the third
sacker this winter and last season.
"If money had anything to do with his
discomfort, I would have known about
Baker started the season Of 1914 un-
der q new three-year contract with tho
ten days clause contained in the docu-
,nent. As the season wore on / decided
to change all contracts for documents IN
which the ten days stipulation was
omitted. but at the same salary rs In
the contracts in force. l did this at
the advice of attorneys. in order to get
an absolutely ironclad contract.
"When I broached the matter to tho
players, several declared they would not
stand for this slight alteration. unless
they were paid extra for it. Several of
my stars held me up III this way.
Baker was not one of them. He signed
the new contract at the same figure
without the slightest protest Now. had
he wanted more money he was in a posi-
tion to kick over the traces and force
me to boost the figures.
"Moreover, when / received letter
from him ten days ago containing the
simple statement that he had retired
from the game. ! replied asking him II
there was any cause under my control
that could induce him to change his
mind.
Mind you, I didn't send any appeal
to him, I said that l considered IT his
own personal matter. and that | didn't
purpose to advise him or offer any sug-
restions ] did say that if he found
fault with the salary in his contract for
him to name his price. and that would
try TO grant 1t.
Bakers answer came IN rev days.
He wrote that he hadn't given the ques-
tion Of money one thought, and that he
was quitting solely because he detested
to travel. and wanted to stay in peace
and uuiet on his farm at Trappe.
This convinces me that he is sincere
and that financial motives have moth
ihR to do with his retirement"
