Philadelphia April 2 Ten thousand dollars a year is the only pay that will lure Frank Baker out of hot retirement. He has refused fifteen thousand from the Feds and is linked with Ketlis and others.

Local baseball efforts press on with transportation wires and stock sales to fund a team building drive.
