BAKER LEAVES TOWN
STILL UNDECIDED
Ira Thomas, After Long Con-
ference, Unable to Learn Ath-
letics' Stars Intentions.

The ]. Franklin Baker-Athletics situa-
tion did not change during the night
An hour after the game yesterday Baker
left Ira Thomas with whom he had been
all afternoon, taking the train for Balti-
more.
Thomas said this morning that he had
talked to Baker a long while yesterday
about coming back to the Athletics, but
stated that the third baseman did not
make a definite answer
Yes, / had long talk with Baker
before, during and after the game yes
terday," said Thomas, but / could not
tell just how he felt about the matter
could not say one way or the other posi-
lively what Bake is going to do. All 1
know is that | did my best to make him
see the thing i'm the right way, and 1t
may have had some effect. / saw in the
papers this morning that Baker and Con-
ME had reached some kind of an agree
ment / know nothing about that, as 1
have not talked with Connie since 1 saw
Baker yesterday afternoon"
Manager Mack himself says that he had
a final chat with Baker before the latter
left the city last night. But Connie, like
Ira Thomas was not willing to say
definitely that Baker would be back, al
though he did not deny that he would be
glad ITO have him on the club again to
assist the Athletics in their pennant race
this season.

ATHLETICS PITCHERS

Generally Underrated, But
Strong.

so far better than most people think.
can see a bright future for them even
this season. in spite of their youth"
These remarks were made this morning
by Ira Thomas when talking over the
opening game of the season in which
Pennocll hurled such mastery ball
Continuing, the Athletics pitching coach
said: "Nou see that our pitchers haven't
the reputation that some on other clubs
have But | say right here that we will
benefit by that They are in great shape
and they are going to pitch winning ball
for us, They win be winning games for
US while they are building up their repu-
tatiOns instead of going along with
lot of veterans and not doing much until
they have reached the top of their
careers.
What you saw Pcnnock do yesterday
is what you will see a lot this season. I
don't mean by that that every man is
going to come as near to pitching a per-
feet game as Herb did, but | do mean
that all of them are in fine condition,
physically, and that they are capable of
pitching winning ball. ana when they
do that, they are doing all that can be
done.
81 hated to see Hooper get that hit off
Herb. because he deserved to get his no.
hit game. Still it was one Of those things
that could not be helped. | think that
Larry played the ball well and that he
could not have gotten Hooper at first
under any circumstances. 1t was just
tough break in the luck at the wrong
time for Herb
'Pcnnock's game just shows what can
be done by a young pitcher. Herb and
our other pitchers not only have the
stuff, but they have also the advantage
of not being so well known as some
veterans we have had in former years.
This means that the other teams are
likely to underrate their ability. This
can result in nothing but good for us"
