Cal Ripken Jr. is suspending his baseball clinics for Nicaraguan youth because the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning for the country. . . .

Ken Griffey Jr. became the newest American Public Diplomacy Envoy, introduced by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Griffey is set to make his first baseball-related trip for the State Department to Panama in January.

· HORSE RACING: The Maryland Jockey Club lifted its ban on horses shipping in to race at Laurel Park after the Maryland Department of Agriculture determined that approximately 60 horses tested negative for equine herpesvirus.

The track had been closed to all horses except those based at Laurel or the Bowie Training Center since a 2-year-old filly in the barn of trainer King Leatherbury tested positive last week for the highly contagious virus and was euthanized.

Horses will now be able to ship to Laurel from the Fair Hill Training Center, farms or other racetracks to compete but must remain on the grounds afterward until the Maryland Department of Agriculture lifts its quarantine on Leatherbury's barn.

· HIGH SCHOOLS: Tom McIntyre resigned as the football coach at Freedom-South Riding yesterday after four seasons. He compiled a 14-26 record and will remain with the school as a teacher.
