Harvey who met with much success
in all his other matches and who
last Wednesday sprang the surprise Of
the tourney by eliminating c. ]. Ma
zuire, the crack Yale Club player,
proved no match for the speedy and hard
hitting Carhart While Harvey tried
hard every second of the match It could
be plainly seen from the start that Car
hart would be returned the champion. II
was one of the easiest matches of the
tournament for Carhart. The contest
was decided in less than three-quarters
OF an hour.
Harvey Is Erratic.
After the first few hands of the open
ing game when Carhart ran up a COM
Portable lead the inexperienced Harvey
appeared to realize that he was In Tor
defeat. The Tiger player repeatedly
attempted TO outguess his opponent by
changing his pace, particularly so when
he shifted to a soft lobbing game. How
| ever. his change of play did not stop the
clever Carhart, who showed much ability
| in getting at these shots. Carhart
| played in his steady, easygoing man.
| ner all through the match. while Harvey
was e~atic and made many errors.
! The aces in the opening game were
| hotly contested with Harvey succeeding
in holding Carhart even until both had
gained three points, 1t was at this stage
Of the contest that Carhart got going
The Yale man then brought into play
his smashing cross court game with a
variety OF pretty corner shots which
gave him four successive aces. Carhart
continued to play in this style for the
remainder of the game, with the result
that Harvey was unable to garner an
other point.
Cnrhart Varies Attack.
CArhart continued his varied attacl; ir
the second game. although he slackened
his pace considerably in the last two
| games. Despite the fact Carhart was
taking things easy in these two games
Harvey was unable to cope with him
The Yale player continued TO count sue
cessive points as he smashed kills
down the side walls which Harvey waf
unable to get within Seach OF.
In the third and final game Carhart
anxious to settle the issue. sent the bal
| in all directions. He executed some re
markable shots. which gave him leat
at Go before four hands had beef
played. Carhart then settled down ant
took things easy for the remainder o
| the match. Toward the latter part o
hts game Carhart collected two success
| sive aces and clinched tho match.

Beck.
Richards failed to show any effect
from playing the two earlier matches,
each of which was hard, despite the fact
that the score does not show 1t. Morgan
played a wonderful game against the
champion, showing a backhand stroke
that was far superior to that OF Rich
ards. Whiting also gave a good exhi-
billion.
Beck, who is the Pennsylvania State
Junior champion, played hard from the
opening of the match. which was the
best out OF five sets. Richards won the
first two games of the first set without

BAKER LIKELY TO
PLAY WITH YANKS
Has Not Definitely Decided to
Quit Baseball, Says Man
ager Higgins.
WHEAT NOW A CAPTAIN
lack to Lead Brooklyn Team
on Field-Ebbets Announces
Spring Plans.
by FREDERICK G. LIEB.

As result of his visit to Frank
Bakers farm at Trappe. Md, last Friday
Miller Higgins. Yankee manager, who
returned early yesterday, has high hopes
that Frank Baker, third baseman and
leading hitter of the club. will be back
with the New York Americans next
season.
Baker refused to give me an abso-
Lutte Yes but likewise he declined TO
give me an absolute No He has not
definitely decided to quit the game.
Baker says he will do what he thinks is
best" said Hugglns yesterday.
For the present there is nothing fur
ther to do but to let Baker work out the
problem in his own way. l already have
told him he will be excused from the
training trip II he is willing to report
later on so that he may have time to
complete the new house he is building.
I think by the time the season starts,
however, that Baker will be with us.
Baker Is so tied up in business down
in his locality OF Maryland that 1t not
only would hurt his own interests but
those of some OF his relatives and neigh
bcrs II he would announce at the present
time that he again will play ball in New
York this summer. Baker and some OF
his immediate kin control n bank down
ISOLATED with Frank like to have him
there to direct things. as things rather
revolve around Baker in that town. Al
least that Is the impression / got Of the
situation.
Baker really displayed more feeling
about this thing than l thought he
would. He always has been a conscieu-
tous fellow and he can see the clubs
angle. He rather surprised me when he
told me that In a way he feels that he
owes 1t to the club to play this year.
No Money Difference.
81 realize that this is one year tina,
a club will need all its players and that
t will leave quite hole in the Yankees
IL do not report Baker told me. i
also feel that the Yankees invested quite
lot of money in me and that l owe II
| to them to get it back.
Furthermore realize that in the
last few years the players have beer
getting all the money in baseball ano
| the owners very little. As a man who
made all my money in baseball / also
owe the game something. On the other
hand l have business interests dowr
here which have me tied down, and n
| present l do not see how l can ge
| away.
II was much pleased. however with 9
statement Baker made that II he played
this year he felt he would have hn'
year" continued Higgins. HE also sale
he feels that he still has several year,
of good baseball in him.
II would like to make IL plain tina
there Is no money difference between thu
| club and Baker. In fact Frank tolt
me to make that clear. He told M
i have absolutely no grievance asalns
tho CI,tb II always has treated me yer,
| fairly and again has rendered me {
very satisfactory OFFER. Money he
