Delaware County League against the
charge OF harboring Il contract jumper.
Baker further says that Connie Mack
gave his consent 10 his playing ball,
but not In Philadelphia, and, therefore,
feels justified in playing with the Up
land team.
Baker said that the only reason he
and play out the season Is to straighten
out matters. There has been so much
talk and criticism OF him that he is
willing to play this year If Mr.. Mack
will not be chance Of recurrence
OF the present mix-up, He added
1T is not case OF money. The sal
ary that my contract calls for is salts
from big baseball. as l do not care to
remain away from home, as l have to
do in the big leagues. I have no desire
to play with any other team than the
more year so that the whole matter
may be Strengthened out. Mr.. Mack
may have my services whenever he de-
sires them under the conditions l named
year SO long as the contract exists
which holds me for next season, and
which may place me in the same posi-
ton as at the present time. do not
want to play this year, but am willing
to go in and work my head off one
more year just to put things straight"
knowing something of the general
temperament OF c. c. Griffith. we ven
ture to opine that there Is perhaps con-
siderable truth in the report that he
has about decided to make some rather
startling changes in the personnel OF
the ball team that is today representing
the National Capital.
Hopelessly hitless. there is no chance
for the Nationals to derrick themselves
into a more exalted position unless
there Is vast Improvement in the
offense. Shake 1t up" has become q
byword for Griffith on the coachins
lines, and he Is now In a position where
he must put the words into effect by
some revolutionary act that will inject
new life into his team.
The holdovers have been consistently
inconsistent since the dawn of the base
ball year, and surely there could be no
loss by the injection into the lineup Of
such men as Al williams, Doug Neff.
and Tommy Connolly They might not
do, hut they would surely be no weak
ening. The pitchers have done miracu-
lous work considering the discouraging
situation. but few will be the runs
when the grand hit total Is one.
Shake II up" for as matters 60 now
the Nationals are skidding backward
and downward at a rate that will prove
terrific handicap when the day of
final reckoning is at hand in the early
fall.

leaves the Windy City. 1t will be neces-
sary for him to learn the signs used by
the other players before ne can get into

time for him to pick them UP. whether
he will be used in the outfield or the
infield cannot be said, but he 10 almost
certain to get Into a game against the
White Sox.
Unless he is pretty much of q
bloomer, Connolly ought to be able to
hit we'll enough to hold a job with this
team" said Manager Griffith. In a low
spirited fashion today Il can't say Just
how soon he will get into the game, but
I'm not going to keep him on the bench

drop out OF the running
Ccnnollys fine work for the Hilltop
pers all spring against all kinds Of
pitching has not escaped the notice Of
the Old Fox. Mike Kahoe has spent
many hours watching him In action at
Georgetown. and the prize scout insists
that Connolly has a chance to make
good with a major league ball team.
Connolly made a good impression upon
| Griif in that opening exhibition game at
Georgia avenue this spring, and 1t was
received chance to play with the G-in-
men.
Today the Griffmen have a vacation.

good. What they really need Is more
work. They will hardly increase their
hitting strength sitting around hotel
lobbes. Tomorrow they open a four
game series with the White Sox, leav-

Ito Acosta. and Douglass Neff are
possibilities in tomorrow's lineup Of
the Griffmen.
Baseball interest is at a fever heat
in the West. and even though the
Griffmen lose a majority Of their
games. they are sure to attract a lot
OF money to the gate. Aside from the
opening game in Washington, the big
gest crowd OF the season gathered to
see the Griffmen play witnessed yes

piled into the stands at Navin Field.
For the last twenty-five innings now
the Griffmen have failed to push over
run behind Walter johnson. The
big fellow Is pitching good ball. but
his support Is worse than nothing at
all with the bat. However. he takes
1T philosophically. The boys can't
hit all the time" said he today.
They'll soon begin to get hold of the
ball and then we'll win some ball
games But I'll admit that 1t is sort
of tough to pitch your head off and
have your own team get one hit be-
hind you. It's all in the game. though,

WHEAT LONGS
HAVE NO FEAR
Good Demand for Cash Grain
Prohibits Chance for
Price Break.
BY Joseph +. Pritchard.

CHICAGO. Dec. 24.-Many guesses
have been made as 10 the holdings
of the principal longs in the wheat
market They have been only partly
correct, as the foreigner holds the
whip hand, and il would be a Dad
guess. no matter what amount might
be mentioned as his holdings. The
foreigners are in such a strong posi-
ton that il would be an impOssibility
TO dislOdge them. a price break or
or even 1OC per bushel would have
but little effect. IL has been said
that all the buying of cash and flu
ture wheat Of late has been on for
eign account. and 10 this buying
was added heavy purchases by men
who are in the grain country and
who know conditions best. AS long
as the excellent cash demand for
wheat keeps mp there is no chance
Of a sharp price break.
one Of the larger holders of wheat
says that he can see no signs OF any
price break and that he is adding to
his line of May on every weak spot
There are many others who also hold
wheat in goOdly amounts and have
refused TO sell il in the belief that
larger profits will accrue. Cash sales
today were 10000 bushels wheat
Of which 1900 bushels were for
export The seaboard reported TAX
ings in all positions for export Of
possibly 1000. 600 bushels.
Advances were shown of / ga TO
, 1-4c for corn and ga to 1 3-Sc for
oats. New high records were made
in corn and this is becoming a daily
occurrence. The bulls bought corn
freely and some of the larger longs
were buyers Of oats. Cash sales
were $4,000 bushels corn and 2OO,-
600 bushels oats.
AS in grains, the provision shorts
and investors took hold freely and
prices were sharply higher for the
entire list. The larger packers gave
the market considerable attention on
the buying side and the advances
were mainly on the heavy buying by
a commission house of ribs. in fact.
the latter was the feature of the
day.
