Frank linker may ho seen today In nn

I 1Mb afternoon, the chnnccs nro thnt thc

I to Ret back Into hnrners nnd take his

. An effort wna mado tills moinlnR by the
I.venivo Lunocn to get linker on tho
i telephone At Trappe, Frank's home, It
I un.M learned that ho had left town. A
touvorantluii with one ln close touch Willi
baseball nffnlrs in ll.iltlmoro revealed the
fact that Bnkcr hnd been there, but linA
left tho Mnrylard metropolis nlso. Ther
foro, the supposition Is thut J. Franklin
Is already In this rlty or Is rapidly ap
proaching on a north-bound train.
After llakor had conferred with Ira
Thomas and Connie Mnck, Wednesday, ho
nnd Mis tinker left tho city. It Is a
10 to 1 shot thnt lie slopped oft nt his
liumo on tho way to Baltimore to mako
tho llnal itirnnBements for the transfer
of his movable worldly Ruoris lo l'hlla

Purine; tho playing seasons In former

he might bo In closo touch with his man
tiger and teammates. All of the real
ctntu agents of the city could not be
reached this morning, but It la certain
that pomo enterpilslng vender of dwell

just tho thing In houses for him.
No matter whether llaker comes In
today, tomortow or Slonday, this much
can bo stated cettalnly when he does
come ho will Jump Into Ills nov baseball
tluds tint! assume his former duties Im
mediately. Tho icturn or the mauling
Mnrylnndcr means that Mack will have
lo revise his batting order. That, how
over, will not bo a matter ot great dllll
cultj. The order In which the Athletics
hnvo been hitting In tho lost two gumes
with the lied Sox was entirely experi
mental. As soon as Maker gets back Into
Iho box score he ptobably will be placed
nt his old position on the olfunse tho
clean-up fourth place. That would neces
sitate other changes, which would likely
ho the removal of Oldrlng back to second
place and l.ajolo pushed up to the third
notch
Connie Mack will have his constructive
worries reduced to his pitchers niona
when Baker gets In the line-up.

Germantown Academy and 1'rlenuV Cen

and Johnson for u total of 17 hits, which

for 11 hits.
Barels and Sheppard displayed corking
form on the hillock for Central High

Sheppard allowed two free passes
Football and basketball managers have

Two games between the baseball teams

Academy have been arranged to decide
which Institution haa the best nine for
the season. In the event of a tie, a third

the Wayne boys will come through with
llylna; colors In a majority of the matches.
Captain Holden's corkins work with the
stick and a general rally by the Southern
High School batters enabled the down

score. Thomas and Frank4 twirled for

BRESSLER VS. FOSTER
IN TODAY'S MACK-SOX
GAME; BUSH'S OFF DAY
Shawkey Probably Saved
for Opener With Yankees
Tomorrow J o e Bush
a n d Wyckoff Pitched
Poor Ball Yesterday.
When tho Athletics nnd Hcd Sox begin
today's clash at Shlbe Pnrk to decide the
present series It Is probable Cnrrlgan will
havo rosier or ituth on the mound, w'hllo
Connie Mnck Is almost certain to start
Hubc lltrsslcr, ln view of Iho fact that
his southpaws hnve always been cffectlvo
against tho Boston club.
Mnck's plnn seems to ho to B.avo Dob
Shawkey for tho opening game with the
New York Yankees tomorrow, wlilch
means that he must depend upon Brcsslcr
to tnko tho tnlnl and deciding contest
of Iho series. Wilbur Davis may have
a ciianco to work In tho Yankee series,
but not ngalnst tho Itcd Sox.
With tho lied Sox doped out ns the
Jipimntit winners of tho American LoagUe
this seaFou by thc majority of fnnti nnd
sports writers, thc nntural thing for Mack
to do In to capture every gnmo possible
from hi super-cultured opponents.
Losing yesterday by tho score of B to
3 evened up tho Itcd Sox series with the)
Athletics, nnd, its only three games are
to ho ila;. rd on this occasion, today's
nltalr will ho tho deciding Issues. Tho
second K.'unc, that staged yesterday, was
tho direct antithesis of thnt played nn
Wednesday. On the occasion of the, first
meeting of the Athletics and Ited Sox the
pitching of Ponnock nnd his rival, Bhbr.e,
wiib superb. Yesterday tho hurllnff .was
worse than mediocre.
Joo Hush, who began for tho Athletics,
did not got warmed up to his task nt nlf.
Nearly every man who faced I3ush had
threo balls pitched to him, hence tho next
would cither result In a pass of a base
hit. v
This vvlldness on Bush's port caused his
removal from tho gnmo nfter he 'had
pnssed two men In the flfth. Boforo that
period of tho pastlmlng tho Red Sox had
scored two runs while thc Athletics had
not been nblo to negotiate with the' plate,
with Ituy Collins pitching almost perfect
baseball.
After Flush's dethronement, John Wel
don Wyckoff (owner of the WllllamspOrt
Taxlcab Company), strolled to tho firing
line. Wcldon pot out of thc hole left htm
by Bush In the fifth, but the Itcd Sox
began to get next to him In the sixth. In
the seventh Weldon, whoso nllns r is
"Scoop," was lucky to get away' with
only ono run scored off him. A pass and
threo hltH represented thc offensive move
ments In thnt session.
Wyckoff nppeared In tho eighth as
thoiich ho had found himself, but. he
spoiled everything In thc ninth after. "two
men were down hy walking Trls SpeakeV,
A hit followed which put Speaker oh
third. Tho pnlr of runners started a
double Htent, nnd McAvoy used poor
Judgment in pegBlm: to second when
neither Lujolo nor Barry was playing
in for the abort throw. The result was
Hint Speaker counted nnd the oU gamo
was gone. Another run Hollowed on
lloblltzd'a lilt, hut tho one by Speaker,
was enousli, for the Slacks could do
nothlns with Miijs In their half of tho
list ft ante.
BINGLE AND BUNGLE
IN DIAMOND DOPE
Itubc Miiriiinrd cm .'eel his name ln the
pitchers' "hall of fame" when ho twirled
a no-hit game against tho Brooklyn
Dodgers In his first start of tho season.
Kvcry member of thc Now York staff, ns
It Is constituted at present has twirled.1'
a no-hlt game at some time in his career,
with the o.ceptlou of Fromme. Matty
has twirled two and Tesrenu ono In the
major Iragues; Chalmers twirled ono in
the Now York Stnte League; Bubo
Schatier In tho South Michigan League;
Perrltt lit tho Kitty League; Schupp n.
the I. I. 1. League, and Fred Cook, at
Columbus, In tho American Association.
Duffy Lewis' skill at tho hlt-nnd-run
piny yesterday got tho Boston star Into
the headlines of tho morning papers.
The lilt and run is such a rare thing
nowadays that a successful play la loolted
upon ns iinuMinl, and still they will) say
that tho old-timers could not play ball..
Ten or 15 yenrs ago a niun who could"
not hit with the runner could not stick
In fast company. Nuwndaya thero-are
few players who can do it.
Benny Kauff, tho demon slugger of the,
Federal League, made a triple and two
singles out of threo trips to the plute
and scored threo runs. Benny has a fine
start toward tho batting championship
of tho outlaws.
Dick lloblltzel's hat played an impor
tant part in tho defeat of the Mackmen,
and yet two of Hobby's three hits were
ot the scratchy variety, being fly balls
which fell Just beyond thc Infield.
Trls Speaker mado his llrst hit of the
season In the seventh Inning. Speaker
had not hit safely In seven games. In
a three-game series with the Beds Trls
hit only two fly balls to the outfield,
Cincinnati won tlnee htrulght In pre
scuson practice from Detroit and two
out of three from the Bed Sox, and then
fell before the rirates on opening day.
A strango "Jinx" follows the Beds oil,
opening days. In 18 years but two opening-day
ganvs havo been jvon by the
Beds, nnd tho Pirates havo not been
beaten lu nn opener by Cincinnati since
1007. ;
The Detroit-Cleveland game was a re
markable affair lu one respect. Cleveland
got five lilts off Dauss, but three of them
Mere doubles and another a triple, whlle
out of seven hits mado by the Tigers
threa were triples and one a home Jim.
Ty Cobb nnd Sam Crawford are at it
agnln. Crawford made two triples and
Cobb a home run and single off Bill
Steen. Ty also stole a base.
It was said that Frank Baker would
be subject to a heavy fine for not report
ing to the Athletics when ho returns
to tho game, but this Is wrong. Baker
had a clause In IUh contract which per
mitted him to retire any time he wanted
to, and he can also come back when he
sees fit.
In these days of contract Jumping a
Frank Baker la too badly needed In or
ganized baseball to fine him for not re
porting. Baker Is at least not a Jumper,
and If Junipers can return without a .fine.
Why should Baker be fined?
Harry Harper, Griffith's youthful south
paw, Is either very good or very bad, as
Is usually the case with left hauders.
In the training: season he struck out con
secuttve batsmen one day and came back
three daya after and walked II men In
five Innings. Yesterday he struck out
the first batsman and walked the next
three, and then made a wild pitch. Need
less to say he was taken put at once,
