goes off on long trips. thinks it would be
n shame for him to retire when he is so
young and just at the height of his career.
HE was just 90 last week. she said,
land, of course, there would be at least
FIVE more years for him in which he
could play better ball than he's ever
played before. But I believe exactly as
he does. Ball playing is hard work and
unless the inducement is very great I
would not want to see him go back"
The Baker home is one Of the most sub
stantial in Trappe and without doubt
Baker is the most respected, the most
loved citizen. Without doubt. too, there
is much regret that Baker has retired.
After having put Trappc OH the map its
45O inhabitants think It's more or less of
Bakers duty to keep it there. Judging
from the opinions expressed around the
postottice. they'd be sorry to see him
drop out of the limelght, though the bet
ting is two to one that when the season
starts up Baker will be back on the job
again.
According TO Bakers old father, who
lives at his farm. Mack had to pay Laioie
$4,000 to get him from Cleveland and
though he doesn't believe that Frank Is
holding out, he thinks he'd be perfectly
justified in view of Lajoes price.
That Philadelphia wants Baker back in
his old place is demonstrated by the size
of Bakers morning mail. Every dav
more letters than he can pay strict at
tention to are brought to him. Many
of them are from people seriously inter
ested in the game, who think the Ath-
letics' chances will be greatly augmented
with Baker In the field. 4 good pro-
portion of them, however, are mash notes
from girls. These, Frank, like the good
husband he is, turns over to his wife
You'd be surprised at them Mrs.
Baker commented, when she was telling
about them, Some of them even have a
line of crosses at the bottom for kisses,
Others are simply requests for his picture
and his autograph"
In the meantime Baker has a bet on
of S25 with Jim Moore, the night watch
man at Shibe Park that he will not pIav
this year, and Mrs. Baker risked 10 pairs
of ducks. which Frank will have to shoot
il she loses, that he will not come back.
But they are both planning to come up
and witness the first game from the
grandstand
Though the day is too young for pre
diction, Baker is of the opinion that the
teams that will line up to play the world
series this year will be the Boston Ameri-
cans against the Braves or the Giants,
but he does believe that Connie Mack
has good, young set of boys" not

CHINA WATCHES CLOSER
ALLIANCE OF CzAR-JAP

PEKIN, Sept. Recommending up
on the remarks of M. Sazonoff, the
Russian minister of foreign affairs
made in the Duma concerning the pos
sibility of a closer alliance between.
Russia and Japan, the Pekin Daily
News says it is a announcement
fraught with the deepest import for
China
The paper continues: For some
time we have known that converse
tions were passing between Russia and
Japan with view to an alliance, and
we have already pointed out the posi-
BILE explanation which is that Japan
by her action toward China has
brought herself into International dis
repute, and is consequently anxious
to have a friend in Europe. the more
so that she has somewhat strained the
alliance with Great Britain. But in
view of the opinion expressed from
London that the conclusion of an al
lance between Japan and Russia
should be left until after the war

nothing more was to be expected

nothing more was to be expected on
the subject. The statement now made
in the Russian Duma would suggest
that the overtures from Japan have
been favorably received in Petrograd
Consequently Japan's sense of national
Importance will be enhanced by the
prospect of an advantageous alliance
ut is, perhaps, too early to discuss
the effects of such an alliance as is
foreshadowed Il. M. Sazanoff's state
ments, but speculations are likely to be
made in China, which must, of course
be vitality concerned in such an agree
ment. One immediate result would be
the tendency ON the part of Japan to
greater arrogance, but there is little
doubt that the conclusion of the treaty
itself would bring about an increased
sense of responsibility and an appre-
citation of its limitations. Possibly
such an alliance would decide the fate
of Manchuria, for we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that Japan wants ter.
ritorial rights in addition to political
and economic privileges. But If the
Japanese influence be increased in that
region it may possibly slacken In other
parts of our country, because 1t must
be borne in mind that whatever the
outcome of the present war, the Brit

in many newspapers where formerly if any mention of
temperance made it assumed the style of cheap
wit.
The press the barometer of public opinion
cannot and does not ignore the fact that empire of
100000 people has gone dry and that the lower
house of the United States Congress gave a ma ority
Fote for National Prohibition. Of the two perhaps
the action by Congress has brought forth the reades
response from the editors.

are placing "the prohibition campaign" in their

Probably not a newspaper in the United States

4 review of one hundred more OF these editor
ias from all parts of the nation reveals the significant
fact that the consensus of opinion of the editors,
friends and foes of national Prohibition is that the
issue here to stay until it is settled by victory for
Prohibition.
There is much to read between the lines of TN
friendly articles that offers little consolation the
