Soon afterward Baker who had meanwhile joined Fords Opera Company and was about to start with Went on a tour began to see the blacklist starieg him straight in the Unthe Influence thus inspired het wrote to the Star Seetstary on Jan 26 as follows: Neshvitte is going to make a big fight over Baker and they have sent men to all the Amerioan Association delegates to the Arbitra lion Committee 'to plead their case and small these clubs that have delegates have at some time or other offered me es than I thought I was worth and I would not take it I am thinking that they will go back on me and make me trouble The Nashville held a meeting bore last night at the of Dr The Doctor has a man tendiest his office to whom I have been giving free humus in enuring and be sleeps in a little room back of the Doctor'e 1 ant him to keep me in his room so I could hear bat tne erowd said and it was to this oftest: 1 "Baker belongs to us and we will keep him or blacklist him if it takes all the money we've got Goldeby spoke to me to day and asked me to write to you and ask for my release on condition that I return the 1100 I told him I would Don't forget to answer this for I want to show him your answer We said if not for the $100 bow eould it be died to avoid troubtet Answer this also please for I said I would ask you Now in conclusion I want to ask a favor of you I nave an aged mother and a sister and can't eland being black-listed for a year 'My favor is this: Teat in case Nashville gets the best of it in this matter you will release me to them if they refund the 1100 I don't argue my case to you In favor of comirg here understand but I simply ask of men who I know from their trainee-noes are gentlemen that an a last extremity they will save me from the black list and leave toe to serve my term with these fools On Feb 10 Baker wrote that Nashville couldn't hold him and that he was sure of it asking the Star management at the same time to send him 126 In another letter on Feb 6 he informed the Star mansgemeut that he was in a big mi store of foolishness and that he bad signed with them simply because he wanted their ad Vance money He made a piteous appeal for mercy on acoonnt of his mother and ender and offered to send St00 which be said was all that be could raise in return for his release The result was an offer made to the Nashvillee by the Stara and telling the former that they could have Baker for 1600 Manager Goldsby declined Ibis otter laying further in his letter which was received two or three days ago: We will be more generone than you is we will either buy or sett his release that is we will return you the $100 advance or you can take him and pay us what we are out on him We are not "stock" on him but what we want is either our money his services or see him on the "list" We dislike very much to put him on the blacklist on account of his mother and sister who depend upon him I support All thie correspondence will be laid before the Star directors at their meeting this evening They have already come to the conclusion it is said that Syracuse would not be a good place for a man like Baker to play in TEE CONTROVIII5Y INDZD After the above correspondence was seen Baler telegraphed the Syracuse Club making them a proposition to buy his re lease and asking what they would It to him for They answered stating terms upon which his
