Even with the mighty Babe Ruth
in their lineup, it was a farmer of
Maryland who pulled the N. Y.
Yanks up in the race for the pen­
n a n t. "H om e-run” Baker, former­
ly of Philadelphia Athletics, is the
man. .O ut of S eason Baker is a
farmer working his own place .at
Trappe, Md. His steady, consistent
playing and hard hitting gave the
Yanks the punch they needed when
he was persuaded this year to give
tip the farm for-a season and come
hack to baseball.
H e does not
smoke nor chew nor drink. He is
35 years old. and even in the city
goes to bed before nine andáis uf>
