Baseball Pot on the Point of Boiling
It's OFF Agin Now
with J. Franklin

It's of agin, on agin, with ].
Franklin Baker. On the heels of the
story that the Home Run King had
signed with the Chicago White SoH
for next season word came flashing
over the wire from the farm at
Trappe last night that he had not
only refused to join Comiskey's
club, but was considering an offer
from the New York Yankees.
SO il goes. 1t is a dull day indeed
that does not find the famous
slugger with one club or another,
and TO vary the monotony he is not
avcrse TO jumping to the Feds for
few minutes.
With so many cats jumping. Baker
will watch where the biggest feline
lands. and there he will land, too.
Here's hoping he lands with the
Yankees.

FOOD PRICES IN LONDON
SHOW ONE-THlRD ADVANCE

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
LONDON. Oct. 22.--London food prices
have to date shown a general increase OF
IS per cent since the beginning Of the
war.
Except for a panic rise at the very be-
ginning of the war. prices have mounted
with disgusting and unrelaxing steadi-
ness at the rate of q little more than 2
per cent month since the war begin.
The largest rise took pace last May.
mainly on account OF a sudden jump In
the price OF meat. II IL thought that the
new taxes on imported articles will raise
this percentage of increase. Present
prices have never been equalled in Eng
land with the exception of the perl ID
from 1873 TO 1917. which was a time Of
peace and prosperity There was at that
time no interference with trade. and the
high prices which extended to all com
modities were due not to a short supply,
but to extraordinary demand.
Most luz A-ies are comparatively cheap.
The price caviar is the same as II was
two years ago. Grouse can be bought at
70 cents a brace, hares at 81 cents, large
pineapples at 81 cents, and dollhouse
grapes at IS cents q pound.

Out of more than 200 examined only
eleven came anywhere near the army

army specifications. Army officers be-
