Baker Denies Tale of
His Going to Chicago
81 Am Through With Mackmen Forever But Am Con-
sidering Offer From va nkees, ~ Explains Former
Sugger, Being Willing to Join Them.'

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 1l.-"The
Chicago yarn Is pipe dream" That
Is what Frank Baker said today when
asked what there was to the story that
he had accepted terms with the White
Sox.
Il have not seen or talked to any rep
resentatlve OF the Chicago club and
don't expect to. expect to play ball in
the American League again and am
now considering an offer from New
York"
A bosom friend of Charles Comiskey.
owner of the White Sox, gave out a
statement in New York yesterday to the
effect that Baker had accented terms
with Chicago for the coming season
and intimated that the contract already
had been signed.
I'm don't know where anybody got an
idea that was going to play with Chi
cago. because ] have not even heard a
word in connection with a trade Of that
sort" said Baker.
Somebody had pipe dream. l have
not heard anything about Chicago from
Connie Mack. and there Is nothing to
the yarn. l met Captain Huston and
Bill Donovan of the Yankees at Will
mington two weeks ago and they talked
business with me. However, | guess l
wanted too much. because they went
back to New York without coming to
any agreement.
Shortly afterward | received a long
distance telephone call telling me Bill
Donovan was on his way to see me. For
once | had meeting with a baseball
man without the fact becoming public.
Donovan offered me an excellent propo-
sition, which l am seriously thinking
about.

again play for Connie Mack. So far
as the Athletics are concerned. I'm
