JIM THORPE MAY
JUMP GIANTS To
CD On A TOUR
of Jim Thorpe, the
former sensational Carlisle
Indian athlete. to report to the

TAILURE of Jim Thorpe, the
former sensational Carlisle
Indian athlete, to report to the
New York Nationals at st. Louis,
as he had promised Manager Nc
Graw, has given rise to the rumor
that he will not make the training
trip to Marlin Springs, Texas, and
also that he has jumped baseball
for at least year.
This rumor at least has a leg to
stand on, for it is known here in
Atlanta that New York promoters
have been organizing a world tour
for professional athletes. This tour
was dependent upon their success
fortunes with the outfit.
Willie Kolehmainen, the Finn
who has won every professional
marathon of consequence in recent
years; Billy QueaE distance run
ner of repute who has met with
success in this country, and Tom
Longboat, the Indian, are three
who are said to have decided to
make the tour if Thorpe agreed.
1t is also rumored that Tewanina,
the Indian marathoner, will desert
the amateur ranks to go with
Thorpe and his associates.
If Thorpe agrees to go through
with the tour the Giants will be
out the $4,000 bonus paid Coach
Glen Warner, of Carlisle, for per-
suading him to sign with the club
and the $500 bonus given the Red
skin when he attached his sigma
ture.
There is still some doubt as to
the Giants hold on Thorpe, for it is
asserted that he played with Okla
homa City, in the Texas league, in
1911. When the Oklahoma City
franchise was transferred to Beau
mont, his name was carried on the
reserve list and is still there. The
Beaumont owners have asked So
900 from the Giants for the release
of their claims 'on the Redskins
services.

\ THOUGH have had to do
~ with most of the bad act
ors'' in modern baseball at
different times, the most I'M
ruly culprit that has been
on my pay roll was poor Bugs"
Raymond, and, if any one asked
me for my honest opinion, 1 should
give him credit for being easily
the champion bad actor Of the
world
In Raymond I always saw the
pitcher and not the weak man who
could not resist the invitations of
hangers -on, his worst enemies, to
take a drink. Raymond was
great pitcher, with the most perfect
motion that ! havv. ever seen, but
he burned himself out with alcohol.
1 did everything l could to save
him, but failed. He was a pitcher
with no resolve of his own, the
victim of persons who like to call
ball players their friends,
Raymond had been drinking very
hard one season, and I could not do
anything with him. At last hired
a keeper, but he failed to exert
much influence, as these so-called
friends would insist on buying
Bugs" the booze. Mr.. Brush be-
gan to get Disguised with Ray
mond, and sent for me to talk his
case over.

n NASHVILLE, TENN, Feb. 90
VI When Lewis Hardage turned
down all his chances to play
professional ball it is understood
that among them was an urgent
appeal to the Vandy athletic star to
sign with Bill Smiths Atlanta club.
Notwithstanding very tempting
offers from a number OF major
league ball clubs, Hardage and Will
son Collins have both decided not
to Join the ranks OF professional
ball players this summer.
Collins intends to play football
again next year with Vanderbilt
and is we'll fixed for the summer,
having a lucrative position with a
local engineering concern. Hard
age, although practically through
with college athletics. finishing his
four years this spring, has accept
ed position with the Massachu-
setts Life Insurance Company, with
headquarters in Meridian, Miss. He
will assume his duties there in
June.
Although A number of clubs have
been after both of these young
sters. Washington has been the
most insistent Clark Griffith sent
each a contract this winter. In ad-
dition to this. Griff declared that
L. ~.
tory. expenses to Washington and
back would be paid, If either of the
men thought it worth while to come
up and talk the matter over with
him.
The st. Louis Nationals, Atlanta
and Nashville have also offered
Hardage contracts, while Connie
Mack, of the Athletics, is still hot
on the trail of Collins.
Should Collins decide to sign
contract with Washington or Phil
adelphia this spring, 1t would be a
hard blow to the Commodores
championship chances. since he is
the only veteran pitcher on the staff
this year Coach Sanborn already
faces the task of developing several
new tWirlers and needs Collins
badly,
Hardsge can be expected TO hold
down left field again. il ne is not
