the Pirates against next season, was the
declaration of Manager Jimmy Callahan
upon his arrival from New York.
The new pilot was accompanied by
President Dreyfuss. and this week they

was his desire to see John Henry Wag-

Il want to see John and tell him how

conditions Baltimore would scarcely go
wild over an International League
franchise in 1916.
Tommy Burns has decided to stage
the Willard-Fulton match on his own
hook. but. according to the new arti-
cles of agreement, which will be made
when Willard arrives in New Orleans.
the champion will fight on a percentage
basis instead Of receiving a flat guar
antee of s32.500. Willard evidently
thinks he has a mark in Fulton, or he
would never consent to fight on a per-
centage basis after the New Orleans
papers have refused to support the con-
test until Fulton defeats a first-cla IS
man. Dominick Tortorich, who was as
sociated with Burns in making the
original match. withdrew his interest
for the same reason.

the Federal League. in the last three
weeks, J. Franklin Baker probably lost
an opportunity to acquire fortune
In his greed for the dollar. Baker
overreached himself. and. instead of
protiting by wait, along comes peace
negotiations. and Bakers chance was
lost.
Bakers contract with the Athletics
does not expire until at the end Of the
season OF 1916. but II is said that
Connie Mack agreed to tear up the con-
tract If Baker would sign with the
Yankees. In that case. Baker would
get considerably more money in 1916
than his 1916 Athletic contract called
for.
The Federal League contract did not
date until 1917. for. knowing that his
Athletics document was iron-clad, the
Feds would not handle Baker next sea-
son. But. nevrtheless. they offered him
a bonus Of $4,000 to sign for 1917.
Had Baker signed either with the
Yankees or Feds. he would be In clover,
for his contract would have to be re-
spected: but in his desire to grab the
most dollars possible Baker lost all.
Now he with have to play with the |
or any other team that Mack |

in retirement. And in 1917 his club |
