In the afternoon they won from the aggressive Perth Amboy team at Central Opera House by the score of 36 to 14, Imthe evening at Tist Regiment Armory they angwered the challenge of the strong Nanticoke combination by defeating them 46 to 38. With eighty-nine victories to their credit the Celtics aim not only to reach the century mark but to put their victories at 196 for the year, a mark no team in the history of the game has been able to reach in one season. To accomplish this feat the Celtics must capture all their remain- ing games, Led by Eddie White, Perth Amboy made a great showing against the champions and proved themselves one of the greatest combinations that have appeared in New York this year. Nanticoke proved a great combina- tion, justifying all the fine things said about them by Johnny Beckman. The team show almost at will, but did not have it as easy as against some other contenders. For the Celtits Dehnert, Beckman and Smolick starred. ‘The battle be- tween tres, Hhggerty, tie white hope of court game, and Silent Trippe of the champions, found the New York lad with a shade in his favor. —_—_>— Ryan, O14 Time Boxer, Serie’ PHILADELPHIA, Feb.

Fewster said Baker is just as Bt to get into’the game to-day as when be left the Yankees in 1919. He has mot taken on any surplus weight. He bes the same glow of health that he pos- sessed when he starred in the role now played by “Babe” Ruth. Baker is just as good to-day as when he left the Yanks. During his two years’ absence Baker has been devoting his time to playing semi-professional ball in amd around Baltimore. This has kept bim in the same physical condition as if he had been holding down the far corner at the Polo ¢:rounds. His great batting eye may be somewhat dimmed, as he has not been con- fronted with the same brand of pitch- ing, but it won't take him long te regain his old form, There is no question that Ruppers. Huston, Huggins and the metropolitan fans are keen to see Baker back om third. He has always been an idot and hig popularity has not dimin- ished. ‘When Huggins discussed the prob- ability of Baker's return last week, he stated he would play the home-run hitter at third, that Aaron Ward would bé moved down to compete with Fewster for the position at sec- ond; Peckinpaugh would play short and Wally ‘Pipp first. Roth is booked to play right field and Ruth centre. Just who will play left is entirely up to Bob Meusel.
