No one has any doubt but that Milan

He may manage to get a little more

does not believe in having players dis

livering the goods, and so he has oi1er-

Milan is generally slow to sign. He
has an idea that it Is better to sign
lI:s contract only after he has had a
personal chat with his manager. he
was slow to sign in 1911, waiting until
President Noyes visited the camp IN
Atlanta. and again waited until the
training season was half done mere
last year before putting his name to
his contract. ---.s
