THORPE in THE LIMELIGHT

A preliminary skirmish between the
scouts" from Connie Mack's Phila-
delphia camp, and Johnny McGraw's
New York brigade. fought at Wieden-
mayors Park yesterday. resulted in a
tie. Neither general sent the flower OF
his army for the struggle, both
sending their weaker minions to test
the reserve squad of the enemy.
Johnny McGraw compelled the Ath-
letics' Youngsters to battle against
southpaw fire, putting two southpaws
in his lineup-one of them. Scnupp
pitched, the other, "Hooks" Wiltse
covered first base. Wiltse made a
wild heave that let Daley across the
plate with the Athletics only run In
the first inning.
The proceeds of the game will &C
to the st. Joseph's School. of West
Hoboken, and was arranged by the
Passionist Fathers to assist in clear

profit was realized.

opposing teams away from the plate.
Jim Thorpe, of course. was the eyno-
sure of all eyes. Jim covered left field
for the Giant seconds and covered
himself with glory. He failed to get
in safety, but he made sensational
catch and wa1loped one on the nose
that looked like a homer for a time.
Daleyran out into deep left centre and
sailed the ball in. The speedy Giant
had rounded first base and was half
way to second when the ball was
caught. He made the mistake of driv-
ing the ball q bit too high, otherwise
Daley, fleet though he is, would never
have got close to the ball. 1t was a
wonderful burst of speed Thorpe
showed. He was going so fast when
he rounded first base that he met Sey-
mour coming back close to second
base. Cy had been on first base, due
to pass and had taken a big lead,
expecting the drive to go safe.
Wilson and Hartley caught for the
Giants and in turn played second base
Wilson showed up pretty we'll at sec
ond base, making a great stop.
Ira Thomas is still a clever catcher
and can bang the old ball. He did not
get any extra-base hits. but he wal
loped the ball hard every time he came
up. Wiltse once made blind stab of
one of his drives and threw to sec
ond for force out on hit and run
play.
The first run of the game was
scored by the Athletics in the first
round, the Giants tied 1t in the sew
enth inning and from that time on IL
was nip and tuck. Neither team got
near the plate.
Daley walked in the first inning. La
van hit to short and Daley, instead of
stopping at second base. as etiquette
required. beat 1t to third, Wiltse was
fiustered and heaved the ball over
Crandall's head. while Daley scored.
Old Cy Seymour tied it up in the
seventh inning. single handed Cy
walked and got around without the
aid of a hit He pulled delayed
steal, which put him on second base.
He moved up to third on an inf1eld
out and scored when Wyckoff opened
the route for him to the plate with a
wild pitch.
About six thousand fans saw the
game and a brass band helped to
make things lively when the game
dragged and interest Jagged because
both teams bit the dust so regularly.
The game was called In the eleventh
inning on account of darkness. The
Athletics made a hippodrome of it in
that round by tanning purposely.
Schupp had eleven strikeouts and
Wyckoff came off with six whiffs to
his credit. The score:
PHILADELPHIA. NEW YORK.
