BAN JOHNSON HERE;
DENIES BAKER DEAL
Says Players Name Was Not
Mentioned at Philadelphia
Conference Yesterday.
DONOVAN HAS NOT HEARD
A WORD SINCE LAST SPRING
Story Seems to Be Merely Based on
Rumors-A..L. President on
Circuit Swing.
BY ]. ED GRILLO.

President Ban Johnson of the Ameri-
can Leagu arrived in the city little
before noon today and was strong and
emphatic in his denial that there was
any deal pending involving Frank
Baker of the Athletics. That rumor
started over in Philadelphia yesterday,
when Capt. Huston, Joe Lannin of the
Boston club and I had a conference
with Ben Shibe of the Philadelphia club.
Bakers name was never mentioned and
there is absolutely no truth in the
story Of his being sold to the New York
club"
NIr. johnson is visiting Washington
for no special purpose, merely coming
here ON one of his usual swings around
the circuit. He seems to have contract
ed severe cold, but is not incapacitat-
ed thereby.
The impression created by stories in
the morning papers of the alleged deal
was that Bill Donovan knew all about
the proposed transaction, yet it de-
velops that Donovan has not heard a
single word about Baker since last
spring, when his club made an effort to
purchase the home-run hero.
Has Not Heard of Deal.
Il have heard absolutely nothing
about such a deal" said Donovan to-
day. Last spring we made an effort
but since then ] have heard nothing
only what ! have read in the papers
but my club officials have not com
municated with me regarding Baker
since that time
The Stars Philadelphia base ball cor
respondent. William q. Weart, was
communicated with by wire regarding
the Baker story, and he replied in the
following:
. Nothing in Baker story. It's all
rumor because Johnson, Huston and
Lannin were here yesterday"
1t would therefore seem that the
story was started without foundation
and that the visit of the magnates
mentioned to Philadelphia did not have
the strengthening of the Yankees in
mind on this occasion.

Maybe we are dense, but we cannot

Note comment 20 the effect that the Red
Sox outclass the Phillies in every de-
partment except pitching, concerning
which several things may be said
premature. Secondly, can't see that
they outclass them much behind the
bat. Thirdly. the Athletics outclassed
the Braves before their series.
Haddock and Herring are two pitch
ess on the New Haven Colonial League
team. They do say the article of ball
put up in that circuit is fishy.
Some sh:S-p critic noted that as soon
as the Reds learned there was possi-
bility of the club being sold they be-
gan to play winning ball, but that they
showed an inclination to drop back in
the rut after the prospective purchaser
backed out of the deal.
