William F. Baker president OF the

the Boston Braves. called at the offices
of the National League Friday TO
pay their respects to Ex-Governor

Baker said that the Phillies would
practically stand pat for next season.
He said that he had couple OF young
pitchers who were picked up on the
Pacific Coast last fall. and were of
more than ordinary promise, and in
whom he had much confidence. He
said that he had not seen Pat Moran
since the close OF the worlds series

not be refused.
