Sam White Has Promised
to Join Dunn'S Orioles

Look out, you Ty Cobb, Honus
Wagner, Joe Jackson ct al, for your
laurels in baseball, for Sam White.
none other than the Sam of football
fame, the same. Sam who scored
touchdowns after brilliant runs that
beat both Yale and Harvard on the
gridiron last fall, has promised to
join the Baltimore club. Jack Dunn
made the announcement yesterday
before the Birds and the Tigers be-
gan their battle.
Sam will report TO Baltimore as
soon as the Yale-Princeton series Is
over. Sam starred again on Satur-
day when he smashed out a triple
with three on base, driving in three
of the Orange and Blacks four runs.
But for a ground rule which held the
dashing star on third, Sam would
have made 1t a homer.
White appears to be even more
brilliant as an opportunist in ath-
letic events than Ty Cobb. He al
ways waits until the situation Is
most critical and then butts into the
fray with something sensational.
His work will surely be remembered.
