BAKER ERRs IN NOT
 JOINING ATHLETICS.
Considered Contract Breaker and Not
 Holdout for Higher Salary.

While followers of the Yankees would rejoice in the engagement of J. Franklin Baker, the Home Run King, it must be said in fairness to Connie Mack and the Athletics that Baker s position is open to severe criticism. In view of the hue and cry that the magnates must live up to the terms of contracts with their players, it ap- pears strange that Baker does not sec fit to meet the conditions of his con tract with Mack and the Shibes.
 Baker signed an ironclad contract for th,ee years in 1914 with the Ath- letics. He was apparently satisfied with the salary named therein and he played last season without finding fault. With his contract having two more seasons to run, Baker refuses to rejoin the Athletics unless he receives an increase In pay. In refusing to yIeld to these holdup tactics, Mack is fighting for principle, and he is sus- tatned by every fair-minded critic.
 Bakers case Is similar to that of Bill James of the Braves, who, though bound by a legal contract, vainly tried to force Gaffney to increase his salary for this year. Baker under the cir cumstances is not holdout. He is a

 By playing day in and day out 1t is possible that he may gain that know ledge. Thorpe is under an irone1ads contract which still has a year to run, and the New York Giants are making up to him the difference between his pay in Jersey City and the figure call ed for in his agreement.
