in Order to Keep
His Faith.
BY H. C. BYRD.

in organized base ball was cleared this
morning when he put his signature to a
contract here Milan went to Griffith s
office. and there was not even an arsu-

playing with any club other than the
Nationals.

Chicago club, but the only answer given

signed with the Nationals. The only other
man to report was Smith one of the re-
cruit pitchers.

will leave here tomorrow morning at 1910
o'clock for the training camp Griffith

conditions there are becoming favorable.

Pennsylvania and the Midshipmen. Dori-
zas met Howe in the heavyweight bout. \

say in regard to the matter:
Mike Dorizas. strongest coleSian and
star of the Penn wrestling team, has con-
iided to Coach John, III. Craig of the team
that he thought he would have to give up
wrestling. because he feared he could not
be a Christian and continue his mat work.
