Frank Baker.
By NORMAN E. BROWN.

John Franklin Baker, affection
ately referred to as Home Run Ba-
ker, now finds himself up against
the proposition of hitting an awful
clip as a home run clouter or taxi
ing a back seat as the circuit smash
artist of the team on which he
plays.
Baker stepped into the limelight
as a home run king back in the
days when the Athletics were win
ming world pennants. Since his re-
turn to big league baseball after
a brief retirement he has been the
,slugger supreme of the New York
Yankees. Last year he was one of
the three men in the American
league, exclusive of Babe Ruth,
who poled out 10 home runs. Sis
Ter of the Browns and Walker of
the Athletics were the other two.
AS we know Baker, this situation
won't worry him. He'll give the
team his best and let the records
take care of themselves.
But, with the signing of Babe
Ruth, home run wonder of the ages,
Baker faces the task of outshining
in hitting a mauler who grabbed
Off 90 circuit swats last season
as many as Baker, Sisler and Walk
er got, lacking one wallop.
Baker was born in Trappe, Md,
March IL, 1886. He started play
! ing ball with Ridgeley, Md, in 1905.
He went to Baltimore on trial in
1907, but finished the season with
Cambridge, a semi-pro club. In
1908 he was with Reading until sold
! to the Athletics, Aug. %. In 1915
Baker had falling out with Con-
ME Mack and remained out of the
big show, playing semi-pro ball
around Upland, Nd The next year
the Yanks bought him for $4,000

much in defraying the expenses OF
