J. Carl Cashion is the latest to be
enlisted in the combination which Clark
Griffith intends to ding challenEely in
to the storm center of the battle for
the supreme position in the baseball
reslm.
In a telegram to his chief today
CashIon says the terms submitted are
satisfactory and the signed contract Is
now on the way to headquarters
Another wire of more than passing
interest is one today from Danny Noel
Ter. in which he confirms the earlier
telegram from his father, declaring that
the idea of his Joining the Federal
League is far removed from his mind.
The writer received letter from
Cashion last night in whi@h he says
that he has been so pUsiiy engaged in
working his stretch of ground near
Auntersville, n. c., that he has not
gained the slightest in weight. but Is
in the best of physical condition and
ready to prove to certain dubious fan
atics here that he is still qualified to
retain his active membership in the
Washington pitching corps.
There is apparently no foundation to
the report Of the detection of Cashion
from his bachelor league, for If he has
taken unto himself a wife he has skill
fully concealed the fact fror. the many
friends he has made during his sojourn
10 this city of beautiful distances and
recent reforms.
