FRANK BAKER in GAME
HERE TODAY? MAYBE
Home Run King Has Left
Trappe; Left Baltimore.
May Be En- Route Here.

Frank Baker may be seen today in an
Athletic uniform at shibe Park. If not
this afternoon, the chances are that the
retired" one will be- ready by tomorrow
to get back into harness and take his
stand at third base for the Mackmen.
An effort was made this morning by the
EVENING LEDGER to get Baker on the
telephone. At Trappe, Franks home, it
was learned that he had left town. a
conversation with one in close touch With
baseball affairs in Baltimore revealed the
fact that Baker had been there, but had
left the Maryland metropolis also. Thcre-
fore, the suppostion is that j. Franklin
is already in this city or is rapidly ap-
preaching on north-bound train
After Baker had conferred with Ira
Thomas and Connie Mack, Wednesday, he
and Mrs Baker left the city. 1t is a
10 to / shot that he stopped off at his
home on the way to Baltimore to make
the final arrangements for the transfer
of his movable worldly goods TO Phila-
delphi = for the season.
During the playing seasons in former
years Baker has rented a house on Cum
berland street, near Shibe Park. so that
he might be in close touch with his man
ager and teammates All of the real
estate agents of the city could not be
reached this morning, but it is certain
that some enterprislng vender of dwell
iugs has convinced Bake" that he has
just the thing in houses for him.
No matter whether Baker comes in
today, tomorrow or Monday, this much
can be stated certainly-when he does
come lie will jump into his new baseball
duds and assume his former duties i'm
mediately The return of the maullng
Ntarylander means that Mack will have
TO revise his batting order That, how
ever, will not be matter of great diff
Guilty The order in which the Athletics
have been hitting in the last two games
with the Red SoX was entirely expert
mental. As soon as Baker gets back into
the box score he probably will be placed
at his old position on the oifense-the
cleanup fourth place. That would neces-
state other changes, which would likely
be the removal of Odrng back TO second
place and Lajoie pushed up to the third
notch.
Connie Mack will have his constructive
worries reduced to his pitchers alone
when Baker gets in the lineup.

RAIN PREVENTS PHIL
GAME; NEW YORK NEXT
Alexander May Pitch Opener
Tomorrow Against Giants.
Moran Pleased With Showing

BOSTON, Mass, April 16.-Rain caused
postponement of the third game between
Pat Moran's peppery Philles and George
Stallings Braves here this afternoon. a
downpour started before u o'clock and
shortly after the noon hour 1t became
evident that even If the rain stopped the
contest would have to be called off be-
cause of wet grounds.
The Daisies, jubilant over their two
victories against the worlds champions
spent the afternoon packing up their be-
longings at their hotel. Then they
boarded Pullmans headed for New York,
where Morans men will open UP a four
game series tomorrow afternoon on the
Polo Grounds.
Manager Moran said he was greatly
pleased with the showing OF his players
In the first two games of the season. He
also declared that the Quakers were
playing together-not attempting ind-
vidual play--and for on that score lie
hopes to have the Phillies up on top fight
ing for the pennant until the bell rings
in october.
Although either RiXey or Baumgartner
are due to appear in the box for the
Phillies next, 1t is probable Alexander
will be sent to the mound in the opener
against the Giants tomorrow. Moran
did not say what his pitching plans for
tomorrow were. However, Alex likes
work and plenty of it, and nothing suits
him better than romping off the green
sward with the scalp of Muggsy Nc
Graw's men.
