BAKER CASE DEAD
OPINION OF MACK
Connie Regards Matter a Dead Issue
Stating That Further Discussions
Wearied Him.

Philadelphia, Feb. Connie Mack,
manager of the Athletics, yesterday
said he regarded the Frank Baker
case a dead issue and further declared
that discussions of the incident wear
led him.
Baker, known as the "home-run
king" who played third base for the
Athletics, in statement at Chester,
said he wanted a slice of the pur-
chase money in case Mack sold his
services to another club.
Mack either will agree to give me
part of the money" said Baker, "or
he will get nothing. l gave him my
best services for eight years and l
think it is only just that 1 should get
slice of the purchase price"
Asked if he would play with the
Athletics again, Baker said:
Il will go back on only one condi-
ton, and that is that Connie retracts
his statement in which he called me
a contract jumper"
When Mack was seen yesterday he
declared he was through with the con-
troversy. Connie said that only one
club made him a direct offer for
Baker, and that was the White Sox
but the price offered for the home
run king" was not enough. Despite
! this Baker said that he had a mutual
understanding with the New York
Yankees to play with them provided
he got portion of the purchase
money.

On this point President Fultz dis

ISLANDERS TAKE
ON NIXON'S FIVE
Red and Gold Gets Final Chance for
Tri.City Title Tomorrow Night
in Davenport.
EXPECT TO WIN THIS TINE
Anderson Will Present Strongest
Lineup to Turn the Trick Start
Game at S O'clock.
fBY BOB OLMSTED.)

The final chance for the Islanders
TO clean up Davenport this season Will
be taken by the locals tomorrow even
ing at s O'Clock in the Davenport high
school gymnasium. All Rock Island S
hopes are pinned on this game and the
rooters for the crimson and gold are
going TO be right behind Captain Al
Taber's bunch when they clash with
their old foes in the life and death
battle that will mean either immediate
statewide recognition or old-time OBJ
security for the Rock Island quintet.
AS usual. the locals are in the pink
of condition. Every man on the squad
is in fighting trim and besides has
some knowledge of the kind of men
against whom the team must buck.
This last consideration ought to be an
important one for Rock Island. If the
locals have any alibi for the last
game with the Pretzelites or have
profted any by experience, it is up to
them to make good at the game to-
morrow or else, it must be admitted
that Davenport and Rock Island have
pitted against each other their best
mer under the best conditions and
the loser must abide by the decision.
It is question, however,
whether Rock Island or whether the
Iowa city has profited most by the ex
perience of two weeks ago. Neither
team at that time was over-confident,
the Iowans having lost all the three
games which they had played up to
that time and the locals as usual, hav-
ing the fear of the Davenport name
and power before them. Then. there
is also no cause for Over-confidence
on Davenport's part for tomorrow's
game, the closeness of the score at
the last game having taken most of the
elation out of their victory. The Is
landers, on the other hand, far from
being discouraged, are ready and alert
to take any chance that may offer to
turn the tide of victory the other way
Thus, as matters stand now, it seems
that the contest will be about as close
a one as last time and if either side
has profited to any greater extent thar
the other by the experience of the last
game or if the element of luck enters
in to favor either side, the game will
undoubtedly be decided TO favor the
team that obtains this advantage.
Lineups Withheld.
The lineups of the two teams are as
yet a matter of considerable doubt
Coach Anderson of the local team re
fuses to make public any lineup of his
squad, as he is not yet certain JUS
what arrangement he will make tc

sible that such an announcement ma,
be made tomorrow, although the coaci
