Franklin Baker, under contract with the Athletics, will not play with the Upland Club of the Delaware County League if I can prevent it." This state ment, by E. M. Hackney, president of the Philadelphia Suburban Baseball League, startled half a dozen baseball men at a conference yesterday after noon hel <lat his office. Hackney stated that yesterday morn ing he entered a formal protest with Assistant District Attorney Joseph P. Rogers, president of the Interstate As sociation of Baseball Leagues, against the playing of Connie Mack's star with the Upland team. "Baker, if not released formally by Connie Mack, is a contract jumper, pure and simple," is the way Hackney put it, "and the Interstate Association of Baseball Leagues was organized to do away with just that sort of thing. His playing with the Upland Club of the Delaware County League, a mem ber of the Interstate Association, de stroys the spirit in which the associ ation was organibed, and also' violates the constitution, which reads that 110 manager of any club in any league in the association can sign a player of another league until he has been re leased by the club with which he is first listed. Until Baker receives his re lease from Manager Mack, of the Ath letics, the Upland Club is violating the by-laws. "If the Interstate Association al lows Baker, a contract jumper, to play with the Delaware County League, it immediately becomes an 'outlaw' asso ciation." When asked if he was prepared to fight Baker's playing with Upland in court, Hackney said: "Yes, and tight it to the last ditch. Baker knows that he can't jump to the Federals be cause he is contract with the Athletics, and he need not think he can jump to a semi-professional league, with its own rules and regulations to govern just such contract jumpers as he, and get away with it." Hackney also objects to Baker's playing with the Upland team because of it not being fair to the other leagues in the Interstate Association, who will Vie forced to meet the Delaware County I>eague in a championship series for the semi-professional championship of the East. He claims that Baker could easily be transferred to the winning i-lub of the league and oppose the teams of the other leagues, thereby giving them an unfair advantage. President Rogers, when reached by telephone at his country home in Fra zer, Pa., said: "I will sustain Mr. Hackney in his protest. The whole pense of the organization of thf Inter state Baseball Association is niest roved if we allow Baker to play in one of our clubs. If Baker does play, 1 mean to inflict the penalty on the Upland Club for each and every game he plays." The penalty is a fine of S2O and the forfeiture of overy game in which a protested player takes part. Three leagues were reached last night, and stated they would be back of Hackney in his fight to keep Baker out of semi-professional ball. Senate Pages Hurl Defl The pages of the Senate challenge the pages of the House of Representa tives to a game of baseball to be played on Island Park next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The umpire is to be agreed upon by managers of the two teams.
