Everybody's after Jim Thorpe.

-
After seven big league teams have
offered the star athlete players con.
tracts, and the Giants finally getting
him for $500 salary for the season,
several universities are ready to sign
him as athletic director or coach, he
has numerous chances to go into
vaudeville, to perform in wild West
shows, to pose in moving picture
dramas, and last, but not least, he has
received numerous proposals of mar
riage from all over the country from
pale-face maidens. The great Indian
athlete is modest young fellow and
is averse to anything that savors of
notoriety. He has never made any
kind of reply to the matrimonial Of
fers.
Once he said to a friend regarding
the letters from girls: Some of these
girls must think / want to start a

practically all the accidents that have
occurred have been the result OF
poorly arranged rings, etc, where the
contestants have had hard floors to
box on instead of properly padded
rings. .,.. -.
We might add another 5000 boxing
matches to the list, bouts that have
been held in England during the year,
another 1000 in France, and another
1000 or 5000 in far away Australia
and we would have total of 10000
contestants during twelve months,
with but few accidents, there having
been one fatal termination of con-
test in France and one in Australia,
one the result of poorly padded
ring, and the other on account IF i'm
proper medical examination, the boxer
having been suffering from brain
trouble and who would have been just
as liable to have expired from any
kind of exertion. If these reformers
would only use their time in trying to
put the sport on a good sound basis
they would accomplish some good.
They will never succeed in stopping
the sport; they might as well try to
kill baseball Have the boxing game
legalized and pat under control of re-
sponsible commissions and there
will be no need of this continual agi-
tation against it. ~. r 3.

provisions of Section OF Rule 81,
which deals with the infieh fly, ful-
| ing that a batsman is. out IF. before
two hands are out. while first and
second, or first, second and third
bases are occupied, he hit fly ball,
other than a line drive, that can be
handled by an infielder. In such case
the umpire shall, as soon as the ball
be hit, declare it an infield or an
outffeld hit
The soldiers put up a stiff argu-
ment, but 1t lis only fair to say that
when the decision was explained they
took it in good part and went on
playing as hard as ever. AS a matter
of fact. the play and the decision cut
no figure in the scoring.
This matter of :llield flies is one
that even big leaguers get tripped up
on occasionally. A good way to re-
member the rule is to remember that
both first and second base have to be
occupied, and there must be less than
two outs before a fly to the infield
lis technical 'infield fly"
The umpiring yesterday was good
considering the rivalry of the two
teams and the rival crowds. The
Twenty-fifth's umpire was very fair
and although off on one or two minor
decisions of which the same could be
said of Chillingworth- gave generally
good satisfaction. There were a num-
Der of close base decisions that could
have been called either way.
