 President Hampstead of the Giants yesterday received the following tele- gram from Bedford, H., where catch CT Bill Rariden spends the winter.
 'I received your telegram and sure 1y am delighted to become member of your club and to have the pleasure of playing under the management of John J. McGraw.

 man, Says Captain Houston.

New York, Jan. 19.-Captain T. L. Houston who is now the purchasing agent of the Yankees returned from Cincinnati yesterday where he signed Lee Magee. He stated that while the club was still in tn market for Home Run'' Baker, it did not intend to pay any such price as the Athletics have demanded for the slugging batsman.
 "What the Athletics have asked for Baker" said Captain Houston yester- day, "pra ctically amounts to $50,0O0, a price which we regard as very ex- orbitant. We have plans pending for other players, and are not so anxious to get Baker as we were before sign ing Magee. However, we are willing to pay a reasonable price for Baker. In fact, we would give $25,O00 for him."
 Captain Houston stated that the Yankees were not after Otto Knabe. Manager Donovan has no player on his club that he cares to drop to make way for the former manager of the Terrapins.

SINCLAIR CAN BUY
 CARDS FOR S4OO, O,OOO
Britton Say They Named Price At Fed Magnate's Request-Two
 Proposals Made.

St. Louis, Jan. 19-S. P. Britton, president of the St. Louis National league baseball club, declared yester- day that the price he and his wife had placed on their club, at the re- quest of Harry s. Sinclair, would not be lowered. Sinclair who last week asked Britton what he wanted for the club, stated yesterday, according to reports from New York. that he con- Bidered the price too high, and unless considerably they would not be taken under consideration.
 It is said the price asked was $4O0,- 900 for the franchise, players and par, the same that was named last December, when Ball and Stifel of the St. Louis Federals sought to buy the Cardinals. Britton yesterday said that since putting the price on the club last week he had heard nothing direct from Sinclair, and all he knew of Sinclair's refusal was what he had read in yesterdays press service. ' "We did not give an option on the club last month or in the present in stance. Both times we were asked to name price and we did. It was the same in both cases" said Brit ton. We are not anxious to get put of baseball, but would if a price were offered for the club which would tempt us to sell. MT. Sinclair wired us last week and asked us to name { price. We are going ahead making our plans for next season."
 It is said that the Brittons made two proposals to Sinclair. One called for $200,00 for franchise and p:Gv. STE and the other for $20O,00O for the park property.

YALE BEATS PENN.
 IN HOT FINISH
Ellis Basket Tossers Rally to Please Captain Taft and Win
 Out.

New Haven, January 19.-Yale's 19-tO-17 victory was enough last night to lift the Ellis from last place in the intercollegiate basketball Lea gue to reduce the lead of University of Pennsylvania, and to administer to the Quakers their first defeat of the season.
 The Yale crowd was alarmed in the final minute of play, for the visitors had reduced the Eli lead of 10 to 5 when the first half closed to an even score at 13 all in the middle of the second half.
 Yale's pluck and the urging of Cap tain Charley Taft inspired the Eli five for a rally which ran the score up to r to IA, which lead was fading away when time had almost elapsed.
 With II points on his combined baskets from tho floor and fouls Cap tain McNichol starred for both teams. During tho first half he scored every point registered by the Quakers. Yale's snoring was evenly distributed but the brunt of the Eli attack was borne by Joe Weiner and the most stubborn defensive game was exhibited by Cap tain Taft. Pennsylvania's five played without a substitution, and Yale
