PHILADELPHIA, February e6.-J
Franklin Baker, the Maryland home

He will be the Mack custodian of the

Incidentally the American League

MACK asked Baker to join his men

that he had quit, as he had done in
former years. OF course, Mack did not
care to take this as final answer. but
he tired of coaxing Frank along in the
same old way, and simply announced
what Baker had told him.
Baker didn't want to quit. He want

port on U. S. Submarines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-That the
submarines now in use by the United
States are generally in disrepair and
totally unfit for service in time of war
is disclosed in a communication sub

Navy Daniels.
The data bearing on the submarines
were prepared by Capt. Albert G.. Win

department. It was sent to the House
committee as a result of the discus
sion aroused by the publication of the
report of Commander Stirling that few
| if any submarines of the Atlantic flo

seems to Indicate that the United States
navy has made very little progress in
the development of the submarine IL

of vessel now in use in European
waters.
