JIM THORPE IN
THE SPOTLIGHT

NEW sYORK.-Fandom is on tip
toe for the opening of the season,
not two weeks off The training camp
reports and early spring games with
the bushers are fine in their way,
but when the real piece de resistance
is about ready for the table such
kickshaws pail on the appetite which
cooks the stony food furnished by box
scores of championship games.
OF all the gossip there is none of
more general interest than that
which centers about Jim Thorpe, the
famous Indian athlete.
Whether Jim is a good baseball
player or a misfit as candidate for
major league honors has been hard
to fathom from the conflicting re-
ports sent out from Texas regarding
his ability. When the first news was
flashed from the spring training camp
we got the impression that Thorpe
was one of the greatest finds that
baseball ever produced, and We look
ed forward to the day when the UNI
pire would step in front of the grand
stand, remove his little cap and an
nounce: Ladies and gentlemen
Thorpe pitching, Meyers catching.
Then came that announcement that
Thorpe was one of the rawest re-
cruits that McGraw had ever picked
up and that the Indian would make
a good piano mover But today the
gloom is once more dispelled, and
those who are looking forward TO the
day when they can see Thorpe dfsport
in Giant uniform again take heart.
Fhe correct dope appears to be that
he is good player, and has the max
ing of star. "a
In recent game with the Waco
team Thorpe replaced Merkle at first
base. He filled the position in fault
less style, grabbing the grounders
that came his way and fielding the
balls thrown to him by the other in
fielders with as much. pep as a vet
eran. He also displayed great speed
on the bases and cracked out three
solid hits, one of them being a triple.
These are facts attested to by those
who saw the game. OF course, the
Thorpe critics may figure that q he
had an off day and overplayed him.
self, but that kind of playing is good
enough for me. H.. st.
Every baseball player expects to
get his full share of roasting, and
is not disappointed A man may go
along for weeks playing a fielding
game. batting at a 400 clip. and then
he muffed or an easy one passed, and
the hammers are out. Ask Snodgrass.
It's all in the game, however.

HOW HAWAII DROPPED THE FIRST
GAME To THE NORTHERN .POLO|SIS

After the way in which Northern
California polo enthusiasts exchanged
congratulations when Hawaii dropped
the first game to the San Mateo
Slashers, it must have been rude
shock to see the Islanders take the
second game, and make it horse and
horse. That second game, and the
final meeting between the two teams,
must have kept the Californians on
the anxious. seat.
Here is the San Francisco Chron-
icle's account of the first game:
HILLSBORO, March 30.-Only in
international matches is better polo
seen than was played on Ell Cerrito
field this afternoon, and only inter-
national teams play better game
than the San Mateo Polo Club Slash
ers. This was the opinion of Malcolm
Stevenson, substitute on the All-Amer-
lean team, and 5000 other enthusiasts
who saw the still undefeated Slashers
lower the colors of the AllHawaiian
poloists by a score of 1912 to 512.
Only one unpleasant incident mar
red the afternoon sport. In the fourth
period, while the game was going at.
a terrific clip, the hard-hitting DeY-
ereaux was following Arthur Rice, the
islanders No. /, at full gallop. The
head pony tripped, both riders fell
and the ponies rolled on them. A cry
of horror went up from the stands as
the two horses jumped UP, leaving
the two men stretched out on the turf.
Although badly shaken up and stun
ned by the fall, the players pulled
themselves together, and after few
minutes rest, pluckily went back into
the game. =. III.
The game was perhaps the most
natabIe contest ever played on Ell Ger
rito field. The big greensward was
hemmed in on all four sides with
thousands of spectators. The day was
perfect, warm sunshine beating down
on the spectators and not cloud in
the sky. The ponies had been trained

Neither the Sophomore nor the Fresh

talent, so these two will combine their
strength for the big interclass fights

Aleck Desha was elected captain of
the senior baseballers Like all good
captains be has assembled his fighting
men without delay, and has them out
in the field already. The upper class
men who will probably make the team,
or are trying for it, are as follows:
Aleck Desha, pitcher and third base;
Ernest Baldwin, left field and pitcher;
ellie Wfshard, shortstop; "Scotty'
Schumann, catcher; Bill Hitchcock,
Litcher and third base; Woods Low,

The seniors, believing that no self

without a mascot, have appointed

position.
The big fight for the class cham
pionship will be between the Seniors
and Juniors, with the forces very
equally opposed. The Juniors have
not yet held their class election, or
Lave they begun practice yet, but
there are many members of the class
Who are baseball veterans, and will
compose a good portion of the team.
Their chief strength will lie in these
former players, but as the seniors also
have good supply of vets, the fight
will undoubtedly be good one.
The inter-class series is to start the
middle of next week.

lund gave up their attempt to elm
mate each other as Castle cup posi-
bilities. By mutual agreement before
the start, the eighteen hard-fought
games will go for nothing, and the
entire set viii be replayed this after
noon TO determine the winner.
Judd and Eklund are the only two
players in the tournament to have
previously won a leg on the trophy
which must be won twice in order to
become a players permanent prop
erty.. Although the tournament has
only reached it's third round, there
was considerable interest in the
match between the former winners.
The play was not particularly inter
esting even before the light failed,
although there were a few really bril-
liant rallies. Judd hung on with bull
cog tenacity, and time and again pull
ed out the game that would have Civ
en- his opponent the set, after the
score had passed sail. Eklund was
owing 80 and 15 alternately, and this
severe handicap helped to cramp his
style, and made him over-cautious.
He was best overhead, and this being
the case il. looked to the sideline crit
les as though Judd was making tao
tical mistake in continually trying to
lob, instead of playing passing game.
Many OF these lobs fell short and were
converted into aces by accurate
smashing.
Lieutenant Robertson had to work
overtime TO account for A. Marshall.
The first set was easy for the sol
dier, SO, but In the second he seemed
TO slack up, ana after several thrilling
games, pulled itout 917.
Henoch took Bockus into camp; but
took three sets to turn the trick. The
match was notable for the dissimilar-
ity of the styles of these two gallery
favorites, Bockus gaining most of his
distance by savage plunges through
the line. while Henock was at his best
at circling the ends.

of the Stanford varsity at the hands
of the Chinese All Star team from

Aheong, the, clever slabster for the
islanders, kept the local collegians
guessing at his delivery, allowed but
five hits, and struck out five men.
Among those to fan the air were Cap
tain Terry, the hard hitting Hahn,
Hunley and Hayes.
Although the visitors cleaned but
five hits off Freshman Heyes' de-
livery, Captain Kan Yen and First
Baseman All Lee Strengthened out
two of his offerings for three sack
err apiece.
The Chinese hit when hits meant
runs, and by way of treating the is
land visitors generously, the cardinal
nine helped three hits in the seventh
by adding four errors, which Melted
the visitors six runs.
Barring the cardinal Juggling in the
seventh, the game was as. good a con-
