CLAIM PRICE
 FOR BAKER IS
 MUCH TOO HIGH

New York, Sept 3-F'rank Baker was not sold to the Tanks yesterday, although such a deal was scheduled. but J. Franklin Baker is headed this way just the same.
 President RUppert of the Tanks, who attended the Giant-Phi1ly dou- ble-header at the Polo Grounds yes terday, said that the Baker case stood at exactly the same point where it was in the spring, when Mack's figure for his home-Fun start was regarded as prohibitive by the local owners.
 Ruppert said that the Baker case was not the reason for the meeting of baseball n1agnates in Philadelphia on Wednesday, though he said Bak- CTS case. came up during the course of a general discussion.
 However Mack's price for Baker is entirely unreason nable,' said Rup- pert We want Baker if we can get him at a reasonable figure. We are willing to pay high for him, but will not meet. Mack's demands As far as the New York club is concerned, the situation has not changed a bit from the way it stood in the spring, when we first tried to bet Baker"
 It is said that Mack is holding out for s25,ooo for Baker, and that the Yankee owners are only willing to pay s15, 900 for the release of the famous home-run c1outer.
 Despite denials both here and in Washington that the Baker deal has been closed, a lot of pressure has been brought on Mack to sell Baker to the Yankees, in order to keep him in Organized Baseball.
 It is no secret that the Federals have made Baker 3. big offer to play with their New York. team for next season. Baker is to be the prir1ei- pal card of the New York Feds and has been mentioned for manager
 It seems hardly likely however that Ban Johnson will look on and watch this process go through with out making an effort to save one. of his leagues leading cards.

WAR TO STOP
 IN BASEBALL
 STARTING l9I6

= Philadelphia. Sept 3-A peace
 agreement has been reached by organ ized baseball and the Federal league,
 and the outlaw organization will
 open the 1916 season as the third ma i Jor league under the protection of the National Commission, according to in formation obtained here yesterday from authentic sources. In reaching the agreement. all the details or which will be completed at the end Of
 the present season, the F'ederais were compelled to withdraw their teams from Chicago and St. Louis and give I11D their plan to invade New York. The National and American league i circuits will remain just as they are but each major league city in organ izeds baseball which is represented by 1 but one team. wi have a. Federal kleaeiiiees 7. .frannchiss. ' and two teams will be placed in another city.
 The most difficult problem that con- frohted the peace delegates was induc- ing the Federal league to withdraw from Chicago Owner Weeghman in. sisted that Chicago was capable of finally persuaded to allow the fran tcll4se to be transferred to Detroit.
 Phil Bah was willing to give up St. Hossis for a block of stock in the Car dinaIa or Browns, and the Federal ssrancfdse will be transferred to Wash ington. which has only one major league team.
 The Kansas City franchise will be moved to Cinclnnatis and both teams will play on the Reds field, while the Buffalo franchise will be switched to. Cleveland. The American association team in Cleveland will be transferred to a city that is at present in the. western league circuit, with chances favoring Denver
 Brooklyn and P1ttsburgh will con l tinue with one Federal and one Ma 4i0naI league team in each city. but the games will be played at Ebbets F5eid in Brooklyn and Forbes Field in Pfttsbufgh. 5s7s

Harvard Material Looks
 Good For 1915 Eleven

The strength of the 1915 Harvard team isr liable to offhe. md derestimated because Of the loss of eight letter mon for in Gilman, CoWen and Soucy there are possibilities which only remained undeveloped last year because of injuries and scholastic disability In forecasfing the pros poets for this fall these men should not. pass unnoticed. Soucy was reg uIar center in 1913 and played cen ter for the first i've games last fall when he~Was shifted to an end po- ait1on4 Then he sustained an injury forced to withdraw from the game on the rest of the season. Gilman play ed on the Harvard team in 1913, and was very strong tackle, but he was forced to withdraw from theg anne on account of low scholarship. Cowen served as a guard on the 1913 team but was forced to withdrew for the same reason It is expected, how ever, that these men will be able to play in the fall
 Wallace held the position of center for the 1914 team, and so should be able to i'll this position next month. Bge1ow. Parsons and c. A Coolidge are practically certain Of three posi- fzous. For ends the freshmen will probably be called upon. furr of the 1918 team together with Curtis, 5Weetzer and M organ sNin be the probable material for center support CTS Watson, Mahan, King and En- wright will probably form the back! field for the 1915 team.

ALEXANDER AND CHALMERS CLEAN
 UP GIANTS TWICE

New York, Sept. 3-George Chal- mers and Alexander the. Great hurled the flying Phillies to double victory over the doundering Giants at the Polo Grounds yestrday, and Pat
 doran's tribe increased their lead sew eraI points in their fight for the Ma tfonaI League flag. Chalmers was opposed by 5.t'Big Jeff''3 Tesreau. the Ozark Bear, in the opening skirrnish. and the Bronx boy was awarded the victory by runs to l, while Alex ander was pitted against Chrlsty Mathewson in the1 ate encounter.
 As had been expected and also pre- dicted, Alexander allowed nary a Giant to. cross the plate during the time he occupied the mound, while the Phillies gathered in two runs, one off Matty and the other off Ferdinand Schupp, the youthful southpaw of the Giant
 It might be well to mention that the stOId Master would have given the peerless Alex a much harder fight for the victory but for some poor playing on the part of Laughing Larry Doyle and Jim Thorpe. hero of Wednesdays game. Neither Doyle nor Thorpe is charged with an error in the second game but. just the same, they threw it way for Matty. F

WASHBURN IS PUT OUT OF
 TENNIS PLAY

New York, Sept. 3.-Erratic play by
 leading contenders was the feature of
 the third round of the national cham pionship tennis tournament on the courts of the West Side Tennis club
 at Forest Hills yesterday. While there were no upsets to check the progress of the fayorites, there was an almost entire absence of the
 sensational tennis that so thrilled the spectators the day before. R. Norris Williams, End, the playing through champion, defeated Walter Merrill
 Hall at 6-2, 9-7, 2-6, 6-1, and Mau- rice E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco
 won from Leonard Beckman. 6-2, 3+6 62, 6-2.
 Without exception the victors were
 never in danger, and this fact may rattle standard of tho Hay of several
 selected as most likely to appear in the semi-fnal round. This was par ticular1y true of both Williams and Mclaughlin. The former started like a whirlwind against Hall, slumped badly in the third set, which he lost, and won at the same speed at which he. began.
 E. R. sPeH and w. M. Washburn of lBrook1awn fought out three closely contested sets, every one of which was won by the former, much to the sur
 prise of close followers of the game Pel1 had his stroke working in sp1en-
 did fashion and held the winning edge on Washburn at all times, notwith- standing that the latter changed his
 methods of attack several times in an effort to break through RelI's superior game.

Everybody was predicting a quick finish for Brooklyn when the Dodgers arrived in Boston to start their criti- cal series but Robinson's men fooled the wise ones by handing the Braves a bad beating. It didn't benefit them much, though, for the Phillies strengthened their lead by grabbing a pair from the Giants. Three Braves, including EVers, were elected yester day for holding handkerchiefs to their noses as an indication that the umpir- ing was sour. They may be sus- pended for this touch of humor, thereby weakening the Braves chances.
 As Boston and Detroit both won yesterday the Red Sox still retain their lead of 19 points over the Tigers in the American league struggle.
 Owner Ebbets- of Brooklyn has promised that Dell or Appleton will pitch for the National league second placers when they exhibit their wares at Newfield park, Sunday afternoon against the Remington-Arms tam. Dell has been a sensation in the big show this season. He has taken a regular turn ini the box and Appleton is also one of the regular boxn en. The Rem-Arn1s boys are hopeful that they can do as well as against Cincinnati, the Reds only winning by 8 to 5. The game will start at 3:15.
 Life is full of disappointnents for lawn McGraw.l Here is George Chalmers, released by McGraw early in the season, steping right up and leading the Phi1lies to victory over the Giants in the first section of yes- terday's double header. Chalmers was considered all through in 1913 and he rested in 1914. He was taken to Texas last spring by McGraw and although he did well, McGraw didn't

TRAVERS sCADDlES
 FOR MAX MARSTON IN BIG TOURNEY

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 3-After los ing his second round match to Max Marston by 2 to 1 Wednesday, Jerome D. Travers, who won the last national open championship, surprised the gallery at the national amateur tour nament at the Country club yester- day by caddying for the Baltusrol youngster in his match with Howard Lee of Detroit.
 Travers offered Maxston his ser vices just before the start of the af- ternooh round, when he realized that Marston was somewhat handicapped, being alone and without any one to suggest corrections in his style and offer advice. Although Travers was downed by the Baltusrol star he not ed certain pecuHarities in his style which were far from advantageous in improving his game. Comforting ad- vice aided Marston greatly today. and Travers was always close to him ready to suggest the shot or club to be selected.

Gardner of the Hinsdale Country club is the only Westerner who survived d the third round of match play in the national amateur golf championship over the Country Club of Detroit links yesterday. Gardner won a plane in the semi finals by busting Ned Saw yer up and to play.
 The two Detroiters, who were fig ured- by many to have excellent chances of playing in the final round on Saturday, were also eliminated, Howard Lee succumbing to Max Mar ston of BaItusroI 1 up after two extra holes of hard tuss1ing, while Jimmie Standish lost to SherriI Sherman of the Yahnundasis c. c. by a similar margin over the regulation thirty-six holes.

He was to receive bonus of $1,000 if he won 25 games this season and yester- days victory was his 18th. If he gets into the worlds series it will be a pretty profitable season for Aleck, As present day stars go, however, he is not highly paid.
