PHILLY LOSES BIG GAME.
Army and Navy Foot Ball Battles to
Be PLAYED in Gotham in Future.

PHILADELPHIA. February 1.-THE
Army and Navy foot ball game. the
most spectacular gridiron struggle in
America. will not be played in Phila-
delphia this fall and is probably lost
to this city forever.
Following a conference yesterday be-
tween DIR. J. William White, repre-
senting the University of Pennsylva-
mia, and Lieut.. W. T. Smith, who
spoke for the two academies, DR..
White announced that the next Army
Navy game would be played in New
York.
The determining factor, according to
Lieut.. Smith. in the selection of New
York was simply question of seat
ing capacity Arrangements in New
York are such that accommodations can
be provided for $4,000 spectators. 30
that even if il were possible for the
University of Pennsylvania to offer the
academies the entire $1,000 seats on
Franklin Field there would still be a
difference of nearly 10000 seats.
Lieut.. Smith explained further that
even the $4,000 seats offered to them
in New York would not satisfy the
pressing demand for tickets.
The announcement that New YORK
would be the scene Of the annual
classic came as a distinct surprise. es-
pecfally to officials at the University Of
Pennsylvania, in view of the fact that
by the terms of an agreement entered
into between the university and the
two academies in 1912 the game was
to alternate yearly for four years be
tween this city and New York.
This year would have seen the game
played on Franklin Field. New York
got the game in 1913. Philadelphia in
the following year, New York again
last year and Philadelphia was to have
gotten it again this year.

YANKS LAND BAKER
Home-Run CIouter Signs a
Three-Year Contract.
TERMS AGREED TO SECRET
Expected to Make Team a Sure

Season.

NEW YORK, February 16.-J. Frank
lin Home Rum Baker, one of the most
picturesque figures of the diamond, is
the property of the New York Ameri-
can League Club. Col. Jacob Rupert
and Capt T. l.. Huston. joint owners
of the Yankees. purchased the release

undoubtedly the most important one in
which the local American League club
ever figured. was contaminated early

Office at his brewery. 9.d street and Sd

noon Baker had signed contract with
Messrs. Rupert and Huston for the
seasons of 1916. 1917 and 1915
The terms of Bakers purchase were
not made public On good authority,
however. it has been learned that both
Mack and the homerun clouter were
asonable-they took nothing like the
$4,000 Charles \. Comiskey of the
White SoN is reported to have offered
for the third baseman's services.
Mack Glad Yanks Get Him.
II am pleased said Connie. after
the sale, that Baker is a member of
the Yankees. He is great ball player
and should help Donovan's club. When
we came to a parting of the ways l
realized that il would be to my personal
advantage to place Frank with the New
York club if possible. Every one can
appreciate the value of a winner in New
York. Furthermore. Baker is bound to
be a greater attraction in New York
than elsewhere for it was here in the
world series of 1911 that he won his
sobriquet.
Il am satisfied said Col. Rupert,
that the Yankees should lift them
selves this year out of the joke class
anyhow. Our crying need was hitters.
Baker and Magee are strong additions
in this line. l am sure. 1t has been my
dearest ambition to give the New York
of their affections. If we should be
disappointed in our aim Capt. Huston
and myself will have at least the COM
fort of knowing that we did our very
best for the patrons"

Miss Lillian B. Hyde, metropolitan and

first round of match play of the state

Monday. and with the sudden change of
temperature was far from Mt. She
sliced into the rough a couple of times,
and in her approach shots often seemed
unable to Judge. but her putting was
mostly at fault. Four times she lost
the hole by falling to run down puts
of less than three feet.
Mrs. Grumbach proved strong
driver and good putter. She was / IN

vestment which has been made in buy
ing players will prove splendid. while
the entire American League will be
greatly benefited by the New York
teams success. for there is no better
ball town with a winning team.
With the Yankees strengthened and
the st. Louis Browns undoubtedly a

finish in front.
1t was foregone conclusion that
Connie Mack would not sell Frank
| Baker to Chicago, though it was hint
ed that this probably would be brought
about during the coming meeting.
Mack had said last year that he was
through selling players to Comiskey,
because 1t was not fair to add any
business standpoint. Mack used good
judgment in relping the New York
| team with Baker, for that will be
benefit to the entire league
The Pittsburgh Club is going to make
a fight for George Sisler. the St Louis
playing sensation. because it had an
agreement with Sisler while he was
member of the Michigan University
team that he would sign with the Pi-
rates if ever he entered professional
base ball.
Dreyfuss has been fighting for this
player for some time. and he has now
taken the matter up with the national
commission, which is to meet in New
York the latter par: of this week
when this and several other important
cases will come up for consideration.

The New York team will now need
serious consideration in the coming
race. Donovan got flying start last
spring, but lacked the strength to fin
ish well up in the race. But the ac-
quisition of Lee Magee. by many be-
lieved to be the best player the Feds
had. and the addition of Baker, not
to speak of a general overhauling of
the team. is going to make the Yam
KEGS real contender in the race.
Donovan Is believed to have a mighty
good pitching staff, and there is at
least an outside chance of his team
landing at the top of the heap in the
coming campaign.
