Wilbert Robinson, the TO- tund manager of the Brooklyns, is of the opinion that no price would he too high to pay for Herzog, and he has signified his intention of paying the top price if the player can be secured. Whatever happens, Herzog is sure of a good berth. for he is one of the most popular players of the circuit and withal one of the most efficient.

WHITE SOX YARN A
 DREAM" SAYS BAKER
Famous Slugger Says He Favors Yan- kees and Has Not Considered
 Windy City Team.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec 11.-"The Chicago yarn is pipe dream" That Is what Frank Baker said over the long distance telephone vesterday when asked what there was to the story that he had accepted terms with the White Sox.
 l have not seen or talked +o .nv representative of the Chicago club ana don't expect to. I expect to ulay ball m the American League arain ana am now considering an offer from New York"
 A bosom friend of Char1es co,,is key, owner of the White Soy wave out statement in New York ves- terday to the effect that Baker had accepted terms with Chicago for the coming season and intimated that the contract already had been signed.
 dont Know where anybody got @ii i"ea that was going to play With ch1cago, because I have not even nearo word in connection with a trade Of that sort" said Baker.
 oomenody had a pipe dream. r nave ho1 heard anything about Chi cago from Connie Mack, and there is nothing to the yarn. met Captain Huston and Bill Donovan of the yankees at Wilmington two weeks ago and they talked business with lie' however, I guess I wanted loo n,uch, because they went bac!, to New York without coming to any agreement
 conferred with Donovan
 shortly afterward I received a .ong distance telephone call telling me Bill Donovan was on his way to see me. For once I had a meeting With baseball man without the fact becoming public. Donovan offered me an excellent proposition which I am seriously thinking about.
 Tt is we'll known that I will never again play for Connie Mack. So far as the Athletics are concerned, I'm through with that club forever But if I can obtain my terms, I'm going to play this season or retire for good, There is no club in either league that I'd like to play for more than with the Yankees. l realize that I have only few more years of service left in me, and If ] can't obtain a good salary now there is no need for me to return to the game. I'm in as good condition now as was two years ago."
 "Ridiculous,'' Says Mack
 Connie Mack, in reply to a query put to him by local newspapermen last night said that he knew of no arrangement whereby Baker was to go to the White Sox.
 "I gave the New York club permis- sion to deal with Baker and to my knowledge Captain Huston and Colo nel Ruppert are the only men vho have talked business with him. Of course, if Comiskey's agents are dick ering with Baker, thtt is something know nothing about. I'm sure that if Baker plays with any club in the American League next season, that club will be the New York club. The news of Paker already being under contract with the White Sox is news to me: In fact, might add it is too ridiculous to be considered seriously"

The Boston Hoodoo.

Three years ago Joe Wood, Of the Red Sox, completed one of the great est pitching seasons ever lifted from the records. He won something like thirty-three games and dropped but three. Fly next spring he developed lame arm and has never been of any great value since. He led the A. l.. pitching corps in effectiveness this last season, but worked in comparatively few contests.
 Last fall, a year back. Bill James of the Braves, finished 8 season almost as brilliant as that turned in by Smokeball Joe. James, a young, powerful fellow, worked with an arm of iron. He finished the year in fine condition, condition good enough to stop the Mackmen with one pale blue hit.
 And then James went the way of Wood. The big star faded out this summer and his fading cost Stallings a flag and his mates over $2,500 each.

FOUR DAY DOG
 SHOW POPULAR
Room Will Be Provided for 150 Thoroughbreds at the Bench Show Which Will Be Feature of F'air-Fritz in Charge

Much interest has developed during the past few days and especially amongst dog fanciers over the recent announcement of the state fair man agement that the coming bench show to be held fair week would be for a period of four days. instead of six as heretofore.
 Not only have the local fanciers ap- proved of this change but from the entire state letters have been received commenting favorably on a four-day event and stating that many entries would be forthcoming this year which in the past were withheld owing to the objection of some owners to the eX- tended confinement to which the dog was subjected.
 For the benefit of the prospective eX- hibitor A. H. Fitz, the superintendent of this department, states that dog to be eligible for entry does not necessar- fly have to be pedigreed or registered. It must. however, be of some recog- nized breed. The so-called unfortunate known as the Mutt will be relegated to the discard for the time being any way. He will not be allowed to asso- ciate with the higher class representa- tives of the canine world.
 While it is generally known the fair this year opens on November 15, the bench show will not start until We'd nesday Nov. r and will continue for four days. The judging will take place on Thursday, Nov IS beginning at 10 a. m, Quarters will be supplied for 15O animals and it is expected that all the space will be signed up long before the closing day for entries which has been extended to Nov. 13. All dogs must be on the grounds by 10 a. m. Wednes- day Nov. r.
 First and second prizes will be awarded for all classified breeds as fol- lows: Best dog, best bitch; best pup over six months and under one year of age, sWecpsta<e prize for best dog or bitch in each class; grand sWeepstake prize for best dog or bitch in show.
 Many handsome specials will be giv- en among which is a silver cup offered by A. H. F'itz, secretary of Arizona Kennel Club for best Collie in show. donor not competing. Vic Hannv X Co.,, Talbot X Hubbard, Pinney X Rob inson, Porter Harness & Saddle Co. and others are offering attractive tro- phies for the fine speciments that prove to be winners.
