FANS .-WELCOME BAKER’S DENIAL OF RETIREMENT Former Home Run King Will Prove Handy as Pinch Hitter, Especially Early in Campaign, While Babe Ruth Is Under Suspension. v BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, January 17—Denial by J. Franklin Baker that he has retired from base ball and single life at one and the same time was good news today fer New York base ball fans. But it must be admitted that the report of his retirement did not cause the same con- sternation similar rumors created in years gone by. The Yanks are not worrying about their infield. Yet, if Ruth stays on the ground as he is expected to stay until in May, it will not be a bad thing to have Baker around to pinch hit once in awhile, because the stalwart arms of that Maryland farmer still have healthy sinews for bat- ting the ball and his eyes do not seem to have gone back on him. Baker's trouble Is that of third base- man ever since the beginning of b ball time. His legs bother him. Ail- ing legs will handicap a player in any ‘position on a ball fleld, but In the par- ticular case of Baker it is but a repe- tition of what befell Devlin, Jerry Denny and Jimmy Collins, and they were three of the best third basemen. Leg trouble on the part of third base- men is attributed to the dash and quick stop that they have to make to come In on bunt hits. Ever since the bunt has been a regular part of the game third basemen have been going out of it after a few seasons with underpinning which prevented them from doing anything further on the ball fleld. Kind Words for Griff. Clark Griffith’s selection of Milan for manager is characteristic of Griff. He is not one of the kind who forgets those who have done their best for him, in sharp contradistinction to three or four managers who have had some success, but who have fat- tened on the efforts of others and then permitted them to shift for them- selves as best they could when they could use them no longer. Milan's success with Washington in 1921 when McBride was temporarily out of the game proved that he could match wits with other managers, and that is one-half the battle. Theaverage manager doesn’'t play himself, and half the time he doesn’t have any idea as to how his players are going to act for him when they get on the fleld. He spends his time trying to guess ahead df the man who is also trying to guess ahead of him, and then luck steps in and hands out the decision two-thirds of the time. Three Clubs in A. A. Streag. Loutsville is leaving nothing undone in an effort to put together a cham- plonship team for'1922. Otto Knabe ®ays he will have a better team at Kansas City than he had last year, and Jack Hendricks with his Indian- apolis club expects to get enough from the New York Nationals to put him in the running. The owners of all of these clubs, which are three of the most powerful in the American Association, are said to have an- nounced at the minor league meeting in private that they didn't care a ‘whisker whether the American Asso- clation ever accepted the draft again as long as they had anything to do ‘with the organization.

Pretty good for a man whose hands a year ago were in such a state that it seemed improbahla{ that he would ever fight again. “Why did I_cancel fighting en- gagements in New Orleans and the west?” exclaimed Benny Leonard to- day in answer to a question. “Why, because New York city is the place where 1 will be defending my title this winter and I don't think barn- storming is the best way to train for such a test. So I will stay right here and get into shape for Rocky Kansas, who, make no mistake, is a tough boy to meet.” This means that Benny will pass uvl his_projected match with Pal Moore fn New Orleans next Monday and that all siren calls from Milwaukee and other points west will be unheeded for the time being, at least. Benny, by the way, {s looking better than he has for a long time. He doesn't seem to have an ounce of superfluous flesh and unless appearances are mis- leading he will have no trouble in making the weight limit of his class on the day he meets Kansas, Febru- ary 10.

LAGROSSE IS BOOMING AS A COLLEGE SPORT BY WALTER CAMP. Booming lacrosse as a college sport 1s to be the program of an all-asso- clation formed by the intercollegiate lacrosse league. One of their at- tempts along this line is to be the bringing over of an Oxford team in the spring. Lacrosse is a fine game, but it always has had hard sledding in Intercollegiate ranks when con peting against other sports. It was once subsidized by the athletic asso- ciation at Yale many years ago, Lut faded out then. But now It is stag- ing a comeback, and with the grearer interest shown in the so-called minor sports, it has a great opportunity, for it is a real man’s game. Yale is leading at this point In the intercollegiate swimming league through victory by the fair margin of 32 to 21 over Penn. with Columbia and Princeton tied for second place. There will be two fine testing games next Saturday evening in the intercollegiate. basket ball _series, when Penn journeys to New York to meet Columbia and Dartmouth goes out to Ithaca to play Cornell. So far Penn has a large monopoly of class in the race. Outside the league, the Navy team is going “great guns.” Yale made a fine showing in her hockey match against Princeton, in spite of the 10ss of O'Hearn, unsetting all forecasts by defeating the Tigers, 4 to 3, in an overtime contest. .The Nassau boys ran into a 2-to-0 lead in the first two periods, only to be tied by the Blue players, In the thira period each team scored a goal, and it required overtime sessions to set- tle the issue, Reld of Yale, finally scoring the winning goal. Harvard defeated Dathousle, 4 to 1, Cana- ans. Cornell shut out Amherst, 4 to 0; Willlams beat Springfleld, 8 to 1, and the -Army whitewashed Col- gate, 3 to 0. Tom Howard's Columbia pupils will kave a chance on Wednesday to show against Princeton whether they have wrist lock in the first fall of a bout “improved since their defeat by Yale, last night. Then Lewis threw Bink- - ley with his flying headlock, 50 badly | injuring him that he couldn’t come back for the deciding fall and ltwll] ‘was given the match. |COAST LEAGUE VOTES OPPOSITION TO DRAFT| SAN FRANCISCO, January 17.— The Pacific Coast League, in annual | session, has gone on record as un- qualifiedly opposed to any resump- tion of the drafting of minor league I players by major clubs. 10 to 2. ) The International Sports Club Cor- poration now goes into the hands of a receiver in a friendly suit to sepa- rate its affairs finally fromthose of the International Sporting Club and allow the latter, under the direction of Gulzen Borglum, to endeavor to find {ts way out to emoother sailing 2s a patron of boxing.
