1t is my opinion. however, that
Baker is far from through" OF
course, he hasn't set the world afire
by his work around third base this
spring, but few old players do show
their best form in training trips ex.
hibition games.
They have to take their own good
time about getting into the pink"
and 1t Isn't unusual for q player Of
Bakers long service to lag behind
the procession until hot weather
sets in. Then they get properly
started, and the fans, and even the
experts, wonder why they were so
tnsistent on having the veteran dis.
earded In favor Of younger man.
This, believe, will be the case
with Baker, provided the criticism to
which he has been and probably will
be subjected does not impair his con-
fidence. The average fan may not
realize 1t, but confidence In his own
ability is quite as essential to the old
fellow who is nearing the end of his
rope as it is TO the youngster just
breaking in.
Miller Huggins tells me that he
could have played at least one more
year than he did II his confidence
hadn't been shaken by his failure to
get away to a good start in training.
He knew that he was getting along
In years, began to think that maybe
he had reached the jumping off place.
and this thought SO preyed upon his
mind that finally he had to Quit.
That Bakers confidence has not
been shaken Is proved by the fact
that he is batting as well as ever
and better than l have ever known
him to bat In spring training. He
Is almost the only player in the
Yankee batting order who did not
succumb to our recent slump.
While tho others were driving
the ball into the ground for easy
fnfield outs or lifting flies to
the Outfield he was banging out
hits and in a recent game at Bris.
tol, Tenn, he w1lloped a homer
over the right f1bId wall, q feat
which never before had been ac-
complished by any batter.
II Baker stands up, and be.
lfeve he will, the Yankees should
experience little or no trouble in
getting away to flying start.
They have taken a lot of beatings
from the Robins this spring but
they are essentially good ball
club, well provided with pitching
talent. and I look for them to take
a decided brace as soon as the sea.
son gets under way.
am not at all worried over the
fact that we haven't been hitting
very well against the Robins be.
cause l know that sooner or later
we are bound to begin to hit and
that our pitchers have the win
ming stuff even II they haven't
been showing very much of It to

jess Wants 10 Fight.

TESS wants to fight.
u Maybe 1t is only the spring
seeping into his soul. Every
body feels bit skittish in the
spring. But, anyway, that's the
hint that comes from the pom
derous FOUNDER from Pottawot-
tonne.
He wants to fight Dempsey.
Jess seems to be getting all sored
up at Jack with the passing
years. He doesn't feel hostile
toward anyone else, but he GER
tainly would like to fight Jack.
So he says. Maybe it's just the
spring. A good tonic sometimes
helps.
However, some genius has
figured out that the proper place
for Willard to do whatever fight
ing he may have in mind against
Dempsey is over in England.
The statute of age limitation
would probably bar Jess from
New York. No other territory
views the prospect of a Dempsey
Willard match with more than
languid interest. Over in Eng
land, the genius has figured, the
thing might go large.
1t certainly ought to 60 better
than a match between the cham
pion and any other fighter in
Europe. They probably want to
see Dempsey in action over yon-
der, and they have never seen
Willard. There might be more
in this than appears at first

Yankee Infield Problem.

"O keep Baker playing third
and retain his batting power
in the Yankee lineup, Hug
gins had Ward. who appears to
be great natural third baseman,
playing second. As a second
baseman Ward was all right. but
he does not stand out there as he
does at third.
Huggins can switch Ward back
to third, and put McNally or Me-
MILAN at second. and perhaps in
crease the defensive side of his
infield. Or he can keep Ward at
second and put McNally on Nc
MILAN at third. The latter is said
to be a good third baseman.
Baker, who will go down in
baseball history as one of the
greatest players of all time, will
'be valuable for several seasons to
come as a pinch hitter. He will
probably never lose his batting
eye. A players legs may bog
down he may be unable to .un
or throw. but il he is a natural
hitter, like Baker. he Is always
able to hit. They never lose that
ability.-

Baker Is Slipping.

ulSpdIcneS from the dear old
- South that Miller Huggins,
manager of the Yankees. has dis
covered that Frank Baker is slip,
ping and that he will probably
have to replace the Maryland
mauler at third base.
The surprise is that Huggins
did not discover it sooner. Or
perhaps he did. The fond regard
Of Colonel Tillinghast L'Homme-
deru Huston, one of the owners
Of the Yanks, has been largely
responsible for the ardent cling
ing to Baker when it seemed ap-
parent that the one-time home
run king couldn't move around
with his old-time agility.
Huston liked Baker for his tre-
mendous hitting ability. The
colonel loves to point out that
Frank drove in lot of runs that
helped the Yankees win the pen
nant last season. The colonel was
the one who used to go I'D to
Maryland and sign up Baker when
J. Franklin had one of his hold.
out spells.
But the colonel. while stating an
indubitable fact about Bakers hit
ting. muffed the important item
of Franks fielding. The territory
around third base had grown too
expansive for Bakers aging limbs.

Natty Inyents New Game.

rROM his sick bed at Saranac,
X Christy Mathewson, All
u Time King of the Pitchers,
has sent out a new and novel
baseball game.
He calls it "Big Six, and it
strikes us as the best of the many
baseball games ever devised for
indoor entertainment. 1t has
many phases that reflect Matty's
keen mind.
There is a story in connection
with Mathewson's new invention
which may or may not be true,
but which is interesting enough
to print. They say boast by
Joe Tinker was responsible for
the game.
Joe once made the remark to
Matty, in the days when they
were deadly foes on the baseball
field, that he, Tucker, would be
a gate attraction long after
Mathewson had faded from base
ball memory.
This WAS ten years ago, but it
is said that Mathewson then and
there began trying to invent a
game that would carry his name
beyond his baseball career, little
realizing the longevity Of the
fame won on the mound.
Perhaps he has succeeded be-
yond his fondest expectations.
