PirrOne Beats Baker and

A big advantage in the infighting
and a crushing body attack gave
Paul Pirrone, young Cleveland
middleweight, a ten-round triumph
over Rosy kid Baker of Anderson
in the top ten-round scrap at the
Armory Tuesday night.
Pierome walloped Bakers body
with hard right, while the Hoosier
was unable to connect and swung
many wild punches. Rosy rallied
in the tenth stanza and almost
checked the Buckeye battler.
Willard Brown, local 140-pounder

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Babe
L Ruth, whose prowess boosted
baseball salaries to unprecedented
heights, apparently has been singled
out by major league club owners to
lead players back to lower pay
checks.
They've hung baSeball's biggest
salary reduction about his neck and
started him off at the head of the
procession.
That's why the Babe is Tuning
angrily over this $4,000 slash the
New York Yankees have offered
him on one-year contract for 1893.
He doesn't relish being used as a
'come-on guy" who might induce
fellow players to accept lower
wages.
Ruth is not worried about his own
salary this season. He admitted
that point-blank during a chat at
his apartment. He knows the Yanks
can't advantageously go through
with the $4,000 contract they've
offered him in place of the STE, 1000
for 1882 But he doesn't like to see
this proposed $4,000 cut used as a
club to bludgeon other players into
accepting depression salaries.
THE Babe would not discuss this
l. phase Of the contract business.
but close friends were not backward
in revealing his feelings about it.
In previous years he has taken the
annual salary tilt good-naturedly-
"a lot of fun and good publicity"
But this time he feels he's being
showed into an unsportsmanlike
role.
This feeling cropped out when he
admitted openly that he was
mighty sore" at Ed Barrow, the
clubs business manager. He be-
lieveS Colonel Jacob Rupert, owner
of the Yanks, had no part in the
plan and harbors no resentment
against him.
He declared he wouldn't dicker
with Barrow over the contract. and
that further negotiations must come
directly from Rupert. But he
wants the matter settled quickly
He doesn't want to be stalled off
until March l, giving the various
club owners time to threaten play
ers by saying You'd better slap

.THE 1888 baseball season can
Il not open soon enough for
Oral Hildebrand, the slender
highlander who is calculated to
become one of the top flight hurl-
erS of the big leagues. The former
indianapolis pitcher turned in a
neat job Of mound pastiming with
the Cleveland Americans last year
and major league observers have
stamped him as one of the most
promising Of the younger crop of
hurlerS working on the big line.
The HooSier developed rapidly
in 1882 after striking his stride
and exhibited so much talent a
half dozen rival teams tried to
snare him in deals this winter
only to be advised by Cleveland
he wasn't for sale at any price.
Billy Evans, Cleveland general
manager, and Roger Peckinpaugh,
field pilot, have reached the deci-
sion Hildebrand is a gem.
ONCE leaving indianapolis,
~ Hildebrand has developed a
sharp curve and deceptive change
of pace to add to his whistling
fast one. In 1882 he won eight
games and lost six, but demon
strated better effectiveness than
his won and lost record showed by
landing in a tie for ninth place
in earned run efficiency. His mark
was $40, the same as posted by
Johnny Allen, sensational New
York Yankee youth.
Moreover, Hildebrand proved his
courage by doing his best work
against the first division clubs and
one of his brilliant feats was to
strike out the Philadelphia Athle-
tic slugger, Jimmy FoXX, twice in
the same game with the bases
loaded.
