BAKER MAY QUIT
Suspended Yankee Third Baseman
 Claims Action of Club Owners is Unjustifietl-Excused From Playing.

New York, Sept. 19.-If Col. Jacob Ruppert does not reinstate Frank Ba- l1er within the next few days the Yan- kee third baseman will announce his retirement from baseball. Baker is- sued that ultinatum yesterday. He was decidedly peeved over his suspen- sion and added that he had been treated unfairly by the New York club. Baker declared that the club broke ts agreement with him, inas- much as he had been promised that he would not have to play in exhi- bition games. It was for his failure to report for a game in Bridgeport that Baker was suspended.
 "I did not violate an agreem ent with the club,'' said Baker yesterday, "but the club broke an aGreem ent with me. In the winter of 1916, when I agreed to play for the Yankees, I exacted a promise from President Ruppert that I need not play in ex- hibition games, and to this President Ruppert consented. My only mistake is that I did not have this agreement put into writing, but I did not think it was necessary.
 T asked Donovan as early as last Wednesday,. for permission to go home over Sunday and he said it would be all right.
 My future in baseball will depend entirely on the action of the club within the next few days. It is i'm material to me whether I ever play again or not. If I quit now. however, I shall not be back. There is only one reason why I should not care to quit baseball at this time-I do not want to quit the game under cloud.
 During my entire baseball career I have prided myself on my conduct as a player. I do not think either Connie Mack or Donovan could call me a trouble maker. This is the first time I have been in any trouble, or disciplined, since playing baseball, and the trouble was not of my making

BOND DELIVERY
 BEGINS SEPT. 26
Distribution of Issue Expected to
 Take Several Weeks

Washington, Sept. 19.-Delivery of Liberty Bonds to subscribers, Secre- tary McAdoo announced last night, will begin Sept. 26, through the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Considering the probable retention by many sub scribers of interim certificates, all ready issued, officials estimate that the work of distribution will require several weeks.
 The huge issue is larger in the number of bonds required than first reports, based on more than 100000 individual subscriptions, indicated. The number of coupon bonds, Sec reary McAdoo announced last night, is estimated by Federal Reserve Banks as in excess of S,7O0,000 pieces of which more than 100000 are of the $50 and $1oO denominations.
 May Hold Certificates.
 Mir. McAdoo repeated his sugges- ton that holders of interim certifi- cates would find 1t to their advantage in many instances to hold the cer- tificates, instead of exchanging them for bonds, until congress disposes of the bill authorizing 4 per cent. in- terest on the next offering.
 Tt is apparent" he says, that if pending legislation should be enacted and bonds should be issued bearing interest at higher rate than 3h per cent. per annum and exempt from the normal income tax, in view of the resulting privilege of conver- sation, the demand for definitive 3h per cent. Liberty bonds, particularly those of the small denominations would be greatly reduced.
 Accordingly, deliveries of defln1- tive bonds to subscribers to the first

SWild Bert'' Kenny is Wild in Name
 Only Against St. Paul Flash.

New York, Sept. 19.-Wild Bert Kenny was decidedly tame last night at the Broadway Sporting club after he had been pounded and hammered for ten rounds by Billy Miske. With the exception of the first round, when Kenny brought the blood to Miske's nose with a wild swing, the former was a punching bag, and the only question to issue was whether he would be able to last the limit.
 Kenny was floored by a right to the jaw in the second round and took the count of nine, the bell coming to his rescue soon after the knockdown. Kenny was tired and groggy at tho end of the fourth and was saved by the bell in the fifth.

issues of the Liberty Loan will begin

on Wednesday. Sept 26 These de- iveries will be made by Federal Re- serve Banks upon surrender to a Fed- eral Reserve Bank of full paid in terim certificates issued over the name of that particular Federal Re serve Bank. Distribution of detinitiVo bonds will proceed as nearly as may be in the order of the surrender of the interim certificates to the Federal Reserve Banks for exchange.
 Each Federal Reserve bank will announce from time to time the num- Der of bonds which it is prepared to deliver each day and may limit the hours of the day during which interim certificates will be received over the counter for exchange for bonds, and the hours of the day during which deliveries of defnitive bonds will be made, and may exclude Saturdays as well as holidays during the period of pressure.
 Wherever subscribers have availed themselves of the assistance of their own banks or trust companies i', making subscriptions for Liberty Bonds, they may property again avail themselves of this assistance in pro- curing the exchange of interim cer-
 
 scribers should look to the banks or trust companies which handled their subscriptions to secure for them the definite bonds in cases where interim certificates have not been delivered to them by such banks or trust com- panies."
 Tt Is apparent also that much of the demand for bonds of small de- n a oh y,1 CTS and others who have subscribed for bonds for their employees and customers under arrangements al lowing the latter to make payment in installments over an extended per iod, and therefore, the immediate de livery and defnitive bonds is not re- quired."
 Employees, banks, trust companies and others are urged to aid in re- lieving the government and subscrib- CTS of the trouble and expense of the delivery of bonds in small denomina- tions by accepting and procuring the acceptance in the first instance of bonds of the largest denominations possible, and of registered bonds ra- ther than coupon bonds. and by re- taining or procuring the retention of of the full-paid interim certificates until congress shall have acted on the bond bill and the rate of inter- est, etc., to be borne by any new bonds shall have been determined.
 Until June 15. 1918, or such later date as may be fixed, the secretary of the treasury the statement con- tinues, mo charge will be made for the issue of bonds of smaller denom- nations in exchange for bonds of larger denominations, nor for the is- sue of coupon bonds in exchange for registered bonds. all such charges being waived for the period indicated, as an encouragement to the accept ance of bonds of larger denomina- tions, and of registered bonds, in the first instance. No charge will be made for the transfer of registered bonds.

CITY LEAGUE BOWLING
By Briggs

Aetna Alleys Resound With the Merry
 Clash of Pins and Balls. When
 League Opens.
 They're off in the City Bowling league, the first games being contest ed last evening at the Aetna alleys. There was a good sized crowd on hand to witness the games and enthusiasm both with the players and spectators was at all times evident. The Colon ials and Annex staged a battle royal. The Annex got away to a flying start winning the first game and the Col onials came right back and captured the second. The third game was g. "pip', the teams tying with 476, and on the roll-off the Colonials were the victors.
 "BilI' Brenneckes Wanderers struck a tartar in the Warriors, losing three straight games. It was no fault however, of the Adonis of the alleys, whose work was of stellar order. The scores:

POLLS NOT COMING
Manager Gillette of Capitol City Team Breaks His Word With Pioneers Management Regarding Game.

Manager Gillette of the Poli base ball team of Hartford, Is evidently some hurdler. Not the kind that clears the bars at track meets while the applause of the crowd is tumul- tous, but in respect to keeping his word, As a result of his action the scheduled game between the Capitol citv team and the Pioneers for the Ellis street diamond next Sunday aft ernoon will not be played, thereby disappointing the management, and
 big crowd of fans who anticipated at
 tending the game.
 Assistant Manager Eggert in a talk
 with the Herald sporting editor last
 evening, told of the action of Gillette
 and his breaking of tho promise to
 bring his outfit to this city both on
 last Sunday and again next Sunday.
 At the time of arranging for the se-
 ries between the clubs, the managers
 agreed to play one game in each city and a toss up would be made for the third game if necessary.
 The locals compiled with their agree
 ment going to East Hartford, Sunday, September 8. It was supposed that the Poli team would come here last Sunday, but the management changed it's mind and played the Colonia1s of New Haven. Manager Luby then, it is claimed, exacted promise from Gillette to bring his team here next Sunday, but was somewhat surprised to learn that Gillette had agreed to go to Meriden and meet the Red- woods.
 It Is now decided that the game l will take place here Sunday, Septem- Der 29, that Is if MT. Gillette's promise to Manager Luby IS to be taken for granted Arrangements are under I way for playing game between the An-Stars and the Pioneers next Sum- 1 day.

Smith Has ShaWkey's No.

Yankee fans are beginning to think it is about time Elmer Smith stopped picking on Bob Shawkey. The Cleve- land outf1elder is the Yankee twirler's particular Nemesis and seems forever camping on Bob's trail. Twice last season Smith beat Sh;,wkey with 9 man-sized homer injected at the psychological moment and once this season Elmer laid Bob low with a four base blow. Elmer didn't make any homer off Bob up on the Polo Grounds yesterday, but he landed on his favorite twirler for a single which resulted in the Indians beating the Yankees by to 4.
