PRAISED FOR AIDING YANks

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 1s.-Whiie
President Ban johnson and the American
League magnates who held their annual
schedule meeting here Thursday warmly
congratulated Col Rupert and Capt.
Huston on their purchase of Home Run
Baker to play third base for the Yankees.
they did not forget to praise Connie Mack
for his determination to help New York
instead of one of the other cities. Mack
could have sold Baker to Owner Comiskey
Of the Chicago White Sox or to John c.
Dunn, the new Cleveland magnate, but
he concluded some time ago that he could
help the league and also the Athletics by
disposing Of Baker to the Yankees for less
money.
Mack let Comiskey have Eddie Collins
last winter for $4,000. also Eddie Mor-
ply for 311 900. Then he sold Jack Barry
to the Red Sox for $4,000 and Strength
ened the Beaneaters SO much that they
captured the world series. II Mack had
turned Baker over to the White Sox Com
iskey probably would have had sure
pennant winner this year to the detr1ment
Of the American League circuit. Mack.
therefore made up his mind that he could
put the Yankees in the running by letting
Baker go for half as much as Comdskey
offered for the home run king As re-
suit of the deal the American League Will
reap benefits that will amount to many
thousands of dollars in gate receipts at
the Polo Grounds.

base ball bodies. is at fever heat
Garry has been asked in letter from
the Hon. Sec" of the Australian Base
Ball Association for his views on the
best way to settle the scrap, that at this
time has become most interesting.
Hermann received the letter today.
The writer is Allan w. Beach. Beach
wants his association to become affil-
lated with the supreme body of base ball
in this country, the national base ball
commission.
II might say that our object in ap.
preaching you was that my association

management of our games is held by

son, seeing that we were In the way of
making a success of our venture, the
New South Wales Base Ball Associa-
ton sought to crush US. They caused
to be printed in the press notice to our

son 1t had been decided to run a compe-
tition for these players, entries for each
grade closing october /, 1915. The
South Wales association did not reg
lister one entry We had thirty-two
teams for three grades.
1.-The whole thing in a nutshell is
that the South Wales association does
not want another body in the base ball
field, and to try to stop us they threat
ened all base ballers who played with
the outlaws, as they termed us, with
disqualification and the loss of their
amateur status.
IN conclusion, I again wish, on be-
half of the National Base Ball League
of New South Wales, to thank YOU FOR
interest in replying to our letter and
trust that the way may be cleared to
allow US an afiliation." i :

Mack Praises Baker.


"When I sold Baker to the Yankees 1
didn't know that the Athletics would
play. at the Polo Grounds on Decora-
ton day" said Mack. with laugh.
after the magnates had adjourned last
evening. Under the circumstances the
schedule makerfhas been very kind to
US. Baker will make the Yankees win
many games. He will play as well as he
ever did for me. He'll hit well over
800 and will be Donovan's cleanup
man.
sBaker is a fast man on the base
paths and he is pretty fair fielder.
He is clever at handling hard ground
ers, but sometimes the slow ones bother
him. He has great whip and is death
on foul flies, but his real weakness is
in. tagging runners. He is afraid of
being spiked, and for that reason he
often misses his man.
LAS a drawing card Baker will be a
success not only in New York. bat all
over the circuit. He and I have buried
the flatchet, and ! wish him every sue
cess He always takes care of himself,
and after couple OF weeks at the
Yankees training camp he'll be as fit
as a fiddle.

opinion. They have good hitters in Baker.

Debate Tonight at Auditorium
Between "Dick'' Jones and
Lewis Harthill.

All interest today is conferred in the
joint debate to be held at the Audi

question. The Duluth. Trade Union
League challenged the Trade Union
Dry League to- debate the following
question:: "'Resolved; the working
men should vote for Ordinance B. ais
promotive of their interests as SUCH"
The challenge was accepted and
the committees representing both
sides met and agreed to terms. =.
Senator Richard Jones will debate
the affirmative. Lewis Harthill of
tho Minneapolis Machinists' Union
will take the negative side of the
question:. Each side will be allowed
so minutes. 1T: was agreed to issue
1000 tickets, each side to have an
equal number. Expenses will be
borne equally by both sides. The
hall will be open at 1880. The de-
bate will start at s:15 promptly. No
one will be admitted without a. ticket

to be the most lively and most inter-
esting ever pulled off in Duluth.
Both speakers are exceptionally well
informed on the question to be dis
,cussed.
Senator: Richafd Jones is said to
have the best argument yet produced
in behalf of the workingmen's side of
the dry question. Louis Harthill is
unionist.: He lis. not. an advocate for

a. tremendous argument in opposition
to prohibition. It is believed that the

From Ten to Fifty Gents Advance
Per Day Given At Duluth
and Superior. 4:

Coal prices have been going up for
SINE time, and this week the wages of
dock laborers was advanced in Du-
luth and Superior from 10 to so cents
a day. The advance was voluntary
on the part of the companies, but
probably the biggest factor in boost
ing wages was the fact that Duluth
has few available men who can be
obtained as dock workers. Owing to
the heavy receipts of coal, many men
are needed, and only high wages offer
an 1nducement to men to do this work
In the face of good offers in other
lines Of work.
Any good laborer can now draw
from $3.50 to SO a. day in any line of
work at the Head Of the Lakes, and
employment men predict a. much
greater scarcity of men in the near
future. The great war is draining
Europe Of its best men, and both the
United States and Canada are being
drawn upon for many men.
At the beginning of the year, dock
workers were paid 1925 a. day. Later
this was advanced to $3.50 a day.
After navigation opened. there was
another 25-eent advance.

HOLDS IT'S, Time TO
CHECK IMMIGRATION
California Paper Warns Country
of Great Alien Problem Con-
fronting It, ..:.-:

YREKA, CAL, June 15.-The Jour
nal of this city declares that the re-
peated votes by congress in favor of
immigration restriction can no long
err be said not to voice popular opin-
ion. l.: -:
"A nation that fails to assimilate
its immigrants" says the Journal,
suffers from, an acute attack Of
Indigestion. This is no fault Of the
government, but is due, probably, to
too great an influx in a given time
Of foreigners. It is in the position of
a man who has eaten more than he
can digest. When man thus suf-
fers he abstains from eating for a
time, or eats but sparingly.. It is this
fact that leads an increased number
Of American citizens, anxious for the
country's welfare,~ to. ask it. it is not
better to" check immigration for a
time; and do it by imposing a liter
acy test. - co.. 49,
finder ordinary conditions the
question is important, but it is now
Of unsuual moment in view Of the
fact that the close Of the war will
make the Immigration problem even
more acute than ever. The prospect
now is that the end of the war is
nearer than seemed possible. a few
weeks ago, and when it comes it is
altogether likely that millions of:
peasantry and others will seek to es-
cape the burden of crushing taxation
by coming to this country. The
United States likes to be hospitable,
but present conditions make it neces-
sary, judging from congressional ac-
ton. that the nation guard its own
safety" 49,.
