r h. c. Hamilton (Telted Pre ie Staff Correspondent) NEV.' VORK, Oct. 11. When Viemo Run Baker returned to the lineup for t'.ie Yankees he stood vindicated in the :miiJs (1 the baseball fans throughout tin; country. His record was cleared absolutely of the stigma that seemed to bare been cast upon it whn Bill Donovan suspended him. ostensibly for refusing to take part in an exhibition As a manor of fact Baker's suspen5 on was not for refusing to play at Rridgeport. It was due entirely to a ti isunders'.anding of motives behind an order from Donovan. When the Tankees returned from Bridgeport the day following: their exhibition and appeared at the Fo!o Grounds Baker was asked to sit on the bench in order ' for Donovan to semi Frits Maisel out for work. Youngsters s so were reporting and Donovan wanted to see them in action against biff 'ague baseball. Hiker construed the request as a disciplinary measure follow in? H-5 failure to show tip for the t'onneeueut gam.

In a huff th hone run king: quit the bench. Th next day he went to Maryland to su'k. The publicity given the case induced him to return to New York and try to straighten things out. He found himself suspended and jumped to the conclusion that it was for his failure to play Sunday. He demanded that the suspension be lifted and thai every cent of his salary held up during hrs suspension be given him. He declared he never would play baseball again unless

i his demand were met.

Baker made these demands of President Kuprert. but Ruprert referred the pouting third baseman to Donovan, who told Baker the truth of the matter. The suspension was lifted. Baker 5rew his check, and was back in harness shortly after. Raker's loss would heve been a tremendous blow to the Yankees. Just now they possess one of the poorest clubs of the American league. In Baker they have one position well tilled by a man who can hit behind base runners. He is about the only man who has played up to form this year. His permanent loss would have robbed the Yankees of their greatest drawing: card.

"Briefs

NEW YORK. Oct. 11. New York's Giants considerably shortened the odds against them in the world's series yesterday by beating the White Sox, 2 to 0, In the third game, with their worst pitcher on the slab against Chicago's best. McGraw crossed everybody by sending Rube Benton in to pitch, and he curved the Kowland3 to a standstill, while the Giants, with the luck breaking their way. Instead of against them, tapped Kddie Clcotte Just hard enough to win. Sox Stopped By Benton. Kenton did not give the White Sox "-fn a. look-in, for he held them to five bits, four or which were mads lifter iwo were out. Only once did the Chicaguans have a chance to break up the game, and that In the eighth, when It was so late the visitors wasted their 0110 opportunity by overanxiety and the usual dumb work on the bases. Cicotte was not hit as bard as the Giants landed on him in the opening game in Chicago, but they made one more safetv off him and had a lot more

! chances to score, because things were I coming their way.

KIGHT teams make up the schedule of the Steel Mill Bowling league this year end wi'h a large number of crack pin topplers to choose from some exciting games will be in evidence. A complete schedule will be ready in several days. '

strength to the position to Carpenter. In case Kiekhefer fails to receive a permit to play Gillum in all probability will eel the job at the other side of Carpenter, lie Is stockJy built and has proved a steady man. Hancock will have his old rosition at rierht tackle where he is sure to prove one of the best men in the conference. Scott, a big Sophomore from Montana, has first call on the other tackle position, where Badger rooters are expecting great things from him. He is one of the strongest

men on me squad. The end positions are bringing out keener competition than any other position on the team. Red Weston seems practically sure to hold down me of the extremities while Sivyer and K. Keyes have been scrapping it out for the other position. Orr. Glldere. Meister, Post and McGraw have also shown well at end in scrimmage. Hobe Bondl, former Madison high school star who was ineligible last year, is expected to prove one of the stars of the conference at left halfback. He is sturdy and fast, and once started thru an opening he is one of the hardest men to bring down Camp Randall has seen in several

seasons. Red Kelley, erstwhile end, has been converted into a halfback to fill the position opposite Bondi. His long, ungainly legs take him over the ground fast end make him a hard man to ntop. He seems In scrimmage to be good for a gain whenever called upon. ' Jacobi. a rangy Sophomore, who starred atv fullback on last year's Fre3hman squad, han been playing consistently at

the same position on the varsity. He is a good line plunger and is also a valuable man on the receiving end of a forward pass. Kber yi?npson, who played quarterback two years ago and was shifted to halfback during most of last season, has been brought back to the pilot's position, where he will undoubtedly direct the team's plav throughout

the season. He has a csrable understudy In Little Pavey. last year's Freshman quarterback, who ha.i phown unusual speed in picking holes and running back punts. Gould. Stafford. Stark, Klliott, Mueller and Gardner are capabl? substitute backfield men and if given a chance may ehow Badger rooters something this year. The squad contains some good line material which needs only experience to develop some first clas men. Olson, a big man, has been playing center on the second team and looks promising. Hipke, a giant in height, has been making a strong bid for a guard position and may yet land on the fir?t team. Mann and Ryan, both husky feliows, are going in good shape at tackle on the second team. Gunderaon. Saberhagen. Peterson and Holmes are other line men who look good. Toor tackling will not be a Badger weakness this year if the men absorb half of what Coach Richards is teaching them. A strenuous session of thir work is staged every night before signal practice and scrimmage .begin. When Hichardn was here last year lie developed a team of tackier.' who could be depended upon to bring down their men when they hit them.

Gawky Michigan Pitcher Who Could Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance. Hughie Jennings, manager of the Tigers, recently had a letter from a Michigan pitcher who stated that he could strike out Ty Cobb three times out of four trips to the plate. It only cost $1.S0 to get a peep at this pitcher and. working on the old motto that you never can tell, Jennings forwarded the one buck and eight dimes. The pitcher came, a six-foot four-inch man. He vas gawky and he was all joints and bone. Cobb was called and he faced the new marvel. The first pitch "Cobb whacked against the rightfield wall. The next was good for four bags when Ty pasted it, and the third flew to deep center and was a four-ply shot. "Well, what have you got to say?" asked Jennings. "I don't think that's Cobb," said the pitcher. Needless to say, that ended the pitcher's career.
