BAKERS KEYDEY
 IS SLOWLY PASSING

NEW YORK, May 29.-"De Vormer batting for Baker"
 The flannel-mouthed announcer stood near the home plate at the Polo Grounds some days ago and bawled this bit of information at the startled stands.
 In a daze the crowd managed to comprehend that Al De Vormer, little more than a second-string catcher, was being sent in to hit for J. Frank lin Baker, the socalled "home-run king" of ten years ago.
 It is from such as this that base ball epitaphs are written.
 The kindly souls of the press box treated the matter lightly. They said that Miller Higgins was attempting strategy. All very good, if taken as ad lib comedy. They didn't attempt any strategy with Baker as late as two years ago. They merely handed him a bat and requested him to hit a strategic home run out of the park.
 Some others pointed to the fact that Baker was removed because he was facing left-hand pitching, the same being furnished by one He1- mach, of the Athletics. But they didn't take him out eleven years ago when he sallied forth to meet Rube Mar
 J otrNir tn guards everylasting annoyance and regret. BAKER BECOMING PATRIARCH
 No, they didn't do that sort of thing with Frank Baker in those days. He was the most feared hitter in base ball then, just as Babe Ruth is today. But age will get them all, Ruth includ- ed, and it is no Masonic secret that Frank Baker is fast becoming a base ball patriarch.
 Just now he is playing a fair, de- fensive game at third base, but throughout the Southern training trip Bakers lack of spryness was the scan- dal of the camp. Indeed, some of the pitchers went so far as to threaten to strike if Baker was kept at third base. He was rowing to right and left for ground balls with all the ease and fa- cility of so much stationary plumbing.
 This was simply a case of aging joints and muscles responding slowly. The Baker who numbered around the South this spring was not an impress sive figure for the same reason that middle-aged gentlemen do not attempt rope skipping in public. It is not, gen erally speaking, a procedure condu- ,cive to dignified results,
 Baker, however finally struck his stride on the defense. This required weeks of hard work. Next year, if he comes back, the thing will take longer. But will he come back next year?
 Many profess to see the handwriting on the wall for this star of other and better years, particularly since they have taken to sending earnest young ment out there to hit for him in {. pinch ..~ s9, aaf < '.~
