Frank Baker Is 30 Today;
Can He Slug as in 1914?

J. Franklin Baker, agriculturist
from Trappe, Md, latest and most
expensive member of the Yankees,
is 80 years old today. Ever since
Frank was sold to the New York
club, there has been great deal of
speculation as to whether or not he
would be able to hit 800 this sea-
son, after his years layoff. In this
connection, his complete batting
record for 1914 with the Athletics
in their last dash for a pennant is
highly interesting.
Franks busiest day with the bat
was on September 26, 1914, when
he came through with two triples
and two singles off death Valley"
Jim Scott, in five trips to the plate.
Baker lived up to his title of "Home
Run" king on June 26 by slamming
Ayres of Washington for two home
runs and single in four tries. The
Maryland slugger liked the Yanks'
pitching better than that of any
other team, while he had the most
trouble trying to hit Boston's
twirlers.
While Frank found easy pickings
when batting against Dubuc, Benz,
Ayres, Steen, Cole, Walsh, Scott,
Hagarman, Heating, Baumgardner,
Boehling, A. r. johnson, James,
McHale, Shaw and Schultz.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 13-
After their strenuous work Of the last few
days and a day of comparative rest Sum-
day, the Philles were ready this morn
ing to put in two long sessions of base
ball Moran told his young men today
that he expected every one to be over
their soreness, and that hard work was
the program from now until the beginning
of the season.
Several of the Phils did a little Sabbath
fishing and, strange to say, they were
highly successful in their ro'.-and-reel
workout. OF course, they didn't catch as
many as one might think from the photo
graphs snapped. as each man insisted on
being "shot" with the entire catch ex-
hibited on his own line.
Chief Bender, Alexander and several
other Phillies were escorted by st. Pete's
elite to the golf links, where they put
in the entire day driving the white pill
36 holes.
The big indoor feature of the Phils
training life Is George Chalmers. Not
in the least daunted by the presence of
Mrs. Chalmers. he related some blood
curdling yarns to the inhabitants of the
Sunshine City" yesterday. He told with
ever-increasng enthusiasm how he ex-
pected to meet Johnston or Mclaughlin
on the tennis courts, and possibly Travis
on the golf links. The natives fairly
capped at the accomplishments of the
Gothamite, who didn't need TO prove his
superiority in all branches of sports be-
cause he admitted 1t.

Joe Jackson
From up around $50 on to 400. Joe
Jackson dropped to .30S last season

We doubt this. Jackson is a great
natural hitter-one of the greatest. He
was a bit off last season. but there will
be found the same slumps in the careers
of all great batsmen. barring Cobb Wag-
ner one season dropped from $3.50 to .305

$50. only to come back with rush.

Mexico For The Future.

Carranza's second thought is said to
be for peace with the United States.
But he never had any other thought
unless he is entirely out of his mind.
But aside from the present Mexican
dispute with the United States it is
clear now that CarranZa is not fitted
to placate the Mexican factions, and
the trouble has gone so far it is a
question whether there is man in
Mexico that can solve the country's
problems. 1t is to be believed that
nothing short of outside force in Mex
leo for period of dozen years or
more can bring that country to a state
of honest and efficient home rule.
One way to do this would be for the
United States, Argentina, Brazil and
Chill to administer jointly the couIl-
try internal affairs with q strong
hand with the formal understanding
between Mexico and all the others
that as soon as Mexican affairs were
settled so the nation could be ruled
with Justice by Mexicans, the govern
ment would be turned back TO the peo-
PIE. For the service that the other
nations rendered. Mexico should be
compelled to pay. with the added un'
derstanding that none Of the nations
participating in the government OF
Mexico would take any Mexican terri
tory or permit any other country to dc
SO, forever. This would be an exten
sion of the Monroe doctrine that would
have far reaching effect in Europe and
Asia. 1t would mean that America Is
for Americans from the Canadian line
to Cape llorn-Pittsheld Eagle.

NORTH BENNINGTON

DR.. T. A. Tobin had a miraculous
escape from what might have proved
to be very serious accident, Satur-
day forenoon. while ascending the hill
from Sodom towards the Rutland X. Il.
crossing, in his Ford runabout. When
about half way up he>grade, he saw a
large car coming down and at once
kept as near to his own side of the
highway as possible, the road being
narrow at that point, with very steep
bank descending on the south side.
Just as the cars were passing, the doc
tors car began to tip, and in spite of
all he could do, it turned over twice
landing on the wire fence at the foot
of the bank, about thirty feet below
The doctor kept fast hold of the steer
ing wheel, and was somewhat protect
ed by the top of his car, which was up,
otherwise he might not have escaped
as he did, with only few bruises on
a leg, and on his chest where he
came in contact with the steering
wheel He of course had terrible
shaking up and was much more lame
and sore yesterday than the day OF
the accident. The car which passed
him stopped as soon as possible, only
a few feet away, and came to his as
sistance; and another car which was
making the hill behind him, brought
him to his home. The car was badly
smashed and was brought to Moons
garage for repairs. Dr. Tohin found
Sunday upon looking over the scene OF
the accident, that what he took TO be
a good foot of turf between his car
wheels and the bank, was an abrupt
descent, of a foot, concealed by the
weeds and grass by tie road side.
This is certainly an exceedingly dang
erous spot, and the town of Shafts
bury should at once take steps to pro-
tect the travelling public, by placing a
good strong guard rail ON that side of
the highway
