in Trappe, Md„ declared that he had no
intention ot' jumping. Baker said that
he was serving under an iron-dad con
tract with Conuie that would not ex
pire until the end of the season of
1916.
He was emphatic in declaring that he
never made one move to join the Feds,
and denounced the story that 'he had ne
gotiated with the St.* Louis Feds as
pure fabrication.
"There has never been any disagree
ment between t'onnie and' myself,"

are centered iu the Athletics, and I will
be back next spring and try to help
them win another championship."

Dooin also predicted that Sherwood

whether we will leave from New York.
We will probably play in only three

MMJRAW CALLS DKAL OFF
Refused to Pay Dooin $7,.100 and Give
Three-year Contract
New \ ork, Dec. 14.—President Wil
liam P. Baker stated yesterday that all
the efforts of the Philadelphia club to
trade "Red" IHmin to the Giants or
any other club hod fallen through,
chiefly because his salary demands went
higher than any dub cared to shoulder
under the present uncertain conditions
of the game. Mr. Baker said the club
was willing to sacrifice some of its in
terest in Dooin as an simply to
keep him in the league and place him
satisfactorily.
Manager McGraw said last night
that ho called the negotiations off him
self. He stated that as a matter of
fact the ileal had never advanced to
a point where ii was likely to go
through. The reaJ reason is said to be
Dooin's demands, which are said to be
a three-year contract at $7,500 a year.
['resident Baker said last night that
if Dooin jumped to the Federal League,
as he threatened to, the Philadelphia
club would take legal steps to protect
its interest in the player. Mr. Baker
said there was 110 chance of Sfterwood
Magee jumping to the Federals, as lie
is under a two-vear contract, which is
binding.
