The New York ‘Americans have of- fered to pay 25,000 in cash to the Ath- letics for the release of Frank Baker, the home run king. Furthermore Col. Jacob Ruppert, Jr, and his baseball partner, Capt. T. L, Huston, have agreed to pay Baker a salary of $10,000 a year. ese figures, however, have not appealed to Connie Mack, who has notified the Yankee owners that his price for Bakers release is $30,000. This statement is printed on the au- thority of Colonel Ruppert. “Yes, it is true that we have offered $25,000 for Baker,” said Colonel Rup- pert, “and we believe that his release isn't worth a dollar more than that sum. Mack, in a letter to us, says that he wants $50,000, which is en- tirely out of the question. In trying to land Baker we are acting in good faith with New York fans, who are entitled to a winning team in the American league. If Mack says the word he can have a certified check for $25,000 inside of half a_day, and we will guarantee to sign Baker for $10,000 a vear as soon as we can get 2 man to his farm in Maryland, “We decided to male this liberal offer for Baker after talking the mat- ter over with Manager Donovan, Baker would be a great drawing card at the Polo grounds in, a Yankee uniform and our team probably would make a. much stronger fight for a place in the first division. But the fans, who deserve the best we can afford, will not blame us for refusing to pay 330,000 for the big batsman. If Mack doesn’'t reduce his price we will go ahead building up our team, and vou can say that inside of two years we will have a pennant winner. We mean business. Several vears ago Mack said that he valued his _infield, McInnis. Collins Baker and Barry, at $100,000. Mack got $50,000 for Collins, who will play econd base for the White Sox this ear. As he values Baker at a sim- ilar price, what are MecInnis and Bar ry worth? As a matter of fact, I in the opinion of baseball men, valued at more than $25,000, w] the largest sum ever offered by a New York club for a star plaver. Mack admits that he cannot pay as much as $10,000 a year to Baker. who is bound to the ‘Athletics by a contract calling for $4.500. Meanwhile the Feds are trying to induce Baker to desert organized baseball by offering a $10,- | 000 salary and $5,000 in advance. Colonel Ruppert and Captain Hus- ton paid more than $400,000 for the Yankee franchise. They purchased a weak ball team and must build a st: 0,000 before the sea- o They are entitled to con- sideration_in_their effort to provide a winner. It is not the policy of the Yankee owners to ask for charity. They do not seek the releases of first players for nothing. Their wi ingness to pay $25,000 for Baker®should entitle thera to a square deal.

But Prices Were Well Maintained Better Known Issues. in New York, March 2.—On the surface. at least, today’s stock market appeared to ignore the latest turn to European events and its possible effect on the foreign trade of this country. Trad- ing was very light, but prices were well maintained in the better known issues, some of the eastern railways gaining one to two points, with recessions in the later dealings. Specialties were increasingly prominent, especially mo- tor shares, but the utter absence of in- vestment demand was again a 'striking feature. There was 2 renewal, on a moderate scale, of the recent selling for foreign account, chiefly in the bond division, and quoted values in some high grade issues showed concessions. Exchange markets were more steady, except on Germany and Italy, the better tone be- ing due, it was believed, to the Ger- man-Austro embargo. In the final hour of the session there ‘was a precipitate decline in the stock and four per cent. bonds of distillers’ securities, each breaking about five points. This was preceded by greater heaviness in the grain markets, which rallled slightly at the close, The uncertain state of the copper industry was shown by the varying attitude adopted by some of the pro- ducing companies in their dividend policies, one of which restored its reg- ular rate of disbursement, while others deferred action or made reductions. In the steel trade, prices of certain spe- cialties were advanced. Erie reported a gain in net for Jan- uary of $383,000 and Canadian Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio managed to cut operating expenses to the extent of yielding moderate mnet returns, but Seaboard Air Line reflected its recent heaviness with a loss of $2,000,000. New York Central was firm on its favorable statement issued after the close of yes- terday’s market. London’s markets were steady on im- provement in the ship labor situation and reduction of marine rates. Cana- dian Pacific and Union Pacific reflect- ed moderate inquiry. The local bond market was irregu- lar, speculative low priced issues de- clining sharply. Total sales, par value, ‘were $2,077,000. United States‘bonds were unchanged on call. 500 Am.

Believes Athletics Will Again Capture The American League Pennant. “I have every reason to believe that the Athletics will again win the American League pennant. Though I have lost many of my veterans, in- cluding the great Eddie Collins and Frank Baker, I am confident that my young twirlers will more than make good and that what remains of my 1914 team will be out there working like the champions of old.” The leader of the American league champions will arrive at the trainiug camp a few hours ahead of the squad that departed on Friday by water, and when the recruits put in their appearance at Jacksonville they will find everything in readiness for them. Connie is not the least worried about his team. He still has his old outfield, three veteran infielders and a promising youngster in Kopf, and this combined with an excellent corps of young twirlers, causes the all tac- tician to smile. “I may have lost Bender, Plank and Coombs, but Bush, Shawkey and Wyckoff should be able to bear’the brunt of the work and Bressler and Pennock will cer- tainly be of great assistance. I look for another splendid season for the Athletics,” concluded Mack, INTERNATIONAL LAW EXPERT FROM EASTERN CONNECTICUT Prof. George Grafton Wilson of Har- vard, Came From Plainfield.
