Malcolm Douglass
Changes His Mind

BALTIMORE, MD, Dec. Is
Malcolm Douglass, the clever local
shortstop, has decided not to play
professional baseball next season,
and has notified Jack Dunn. OF the
Orioles, OF his decision. Douglass,
however, does not say that he will
not play at some time during his
life, 90 Dunn has made up his mind
to keep on the trail of the likely
youngster.
The tone Of Douglass letter seems
to indicate that he wants to play.
but that he does not care to dispiease
his parents. who, apparently. do not
want him to break into the profess
sional ranks.
Douglass letter to Dunn. which
was received yesterday by the mag
nate. follows:
"Mr. John Dunn. Baltimore Base
bail club:
my Dear Mr.. Dunn,--I have come
to the conclusion not to play pro-
fessional baseball this year. My
parents have always been opposed
to 1t, but never have said that
could not play. In order to please
them / have decided not to sign
with any one this year.
Thanking you for your kind OF
