Heap Of Smuggling at Dixie Club
Tonight; Smith Picked to Win
Over Hard-Hitting Kid Young
THERE should be enough slug

the most rabid fan. Terry
Nelson meets Battling Minor
in the main event: Kid Young ties
up with AL Smith in the semi wind
up, Here are four young men who
know nothing but slug.
The semi-windup really looks
like the classy event of the even

Young and Smith get to swapping
punches the fur is sure to fly Both

that one or the other win sneak it
across before the eighth and final
round is reached.
Young has won ali his fights to
date by a knockout. But even with
this remarkable record Smith is
ruling favorite for tonight's show.
The wise ones think that Smith
will keep away from Young for four
or five rounds and that by that
time the Kid will be well played
out. They figure that Young has
to win quick or he blows up.
Minor fought here a year or so

THORPE GUILTY;
He PLAYED BALL
FOR MONEY

~ ARLISLE, PA, Jan. 2S.--Now
that he has confessed to pro-
fessionalism, Jim Thorpe, the
great Indian athlete. is being de-
luged with Geographic offers from
major league ball teams. and scouts
for most of the clubs in the two
big leagues are rushing here today
in an effort to secure Thorpe's sig
nature to a contract.
Thorpe's letter to James e. Sui
livan. secretary of the A. A. u, in
which he admitted playing baseball
for pay with the Rocky Mount club,
in the Eastern Carolina league, in
1909 and 1910, removes absolutely
the hope his many friends enter
tanned that the charges of profess
sionalism, first made Thursday,
might prove untrue.
Thorpe's plea is that he didn't
know playing professional baseball
would tnjure his amateur standing
in field, track and football events.
Thorpe, who, competing as an
amateur, won the highest honors at
the Olympic games in Stockholm
last year and by his wonderful
ability earned the title of the
worlds greatest athlete, must now
return to Sweden the two trophies
he won. These trophies will be re-
turned to Sweden by the A. A U.
with a note of apology
H Weislander, of Sweden who
finished second in the decathlon,
will be given one while P. r. Bic,
who was second in the pentathlon,
will be awarded the other.
Thorpe promised this morning
that he might have something to
say later when asked for further
explanation as to his confession and
as to his future plans, but would
make no other statement.
Thorpe will finish his course at
the Indian school here this spring,
and 1t is thought he may accept
one of the baseball contracts that
are being frantically waved at him
by the big league clubs.

tween them which will continue I'M
til about the middle of winter.
when they VIII shake hands and
join forces again for the welfare of
the club. Baseball is a great game
I I is less than a week since Frank,
Chance announced that he pro-
posed to reorganize the scouting
. department of the New York. club.
Instead of one or two scouts all
told. he said, he would have one or
more scouts in every minor league
"a secret band of experts who
would report to him on the quaHf-
cations of the likely looking young
sters.
1t is less than a week since
Chance made his announcement,
and ii is safe to say that by this
time he has received upward of a
thousand letters from would-be
scouts applying for the job. The
number of men who believe they
are qualified to manage a ball club
is only exceeded by the number of
men who believe they are qualified
to judge ball player The woods
are full of them.
\
r VI as a matter Of fact, most of
these men who think they can
judge a ball player have only a su-
perficial knowledge of the game.
They are fooled by outward APP
pearances. A graceful player
catches their eye and they think
ne is a great player, whereas as a
matter of fact the player is proba-
bly, fundamentally wrong in all his
actions.
An infielder Of the Frank Laporte
or Andy Mcconnell type would
strike the average amateur scout
as being well nigh perfection. A
player of the Hobo Ferris type
would be passed up. Laporte and
Mcconnell allow the ball to play
them instead of playing the bali as
Ferris does. Laporte and McCon-
nell scoop up grounder with a
graceful sweep of the hands, take
pretty little hop and then toss the
ball to first. When the ball comes
to Ferris it strikes his hands in a
solid manner. There Is no give to
Ferris hands. They are like a stone
wall. Then without any waste of
time or any lost motion with hands
or arms or feet, Ferris chucks the
ball to first No man playing ball
ever handled grounders better than
Hobe Ferris, yet his style would be
considered faulty by majority of
the would-be scouts.
THE point cited is one of a thou
sand in bali playing. If club
owners bought all the players rec
commended to them by amateur
scouts, they would be bankrupt in
a month, and they could never
realize on their investment The
only men qualified to be scouts for
big league ball clubs are those who
have been big league ball players
and know the game from A to Z.
Occasionally there are exceptions to
this rule, but the exceptions are
mighty rare.

FARRELL BUYS INTO &c
TEAM; !. WANTS 1T AS FARM

NEW YORK, Jan 2S.-The next step in
the building up of the New Yorks is the
buying Of stock in a big minor league
team located at hand to be used as a
farm for unripe phenomenons. The
club which has been selected for a farm
is none other than the Jersey City club
of the International league
The price to be paid by Frank Farrell
is said to be approximately $4,000. This,
of course, would not give him the club
outright, nor even anything that APP
proaches controlling interest, but ac-
cording to the agreement to be made, his
taking over of this block of stock would
give him full power to make any deals
that he might dictate between his Ameri-
can leaguers and his farm" In this re-
is Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit
Tigers, who controls the Providence club
of the International league

~ don't care what Murphy says

ONE Of the finest things about
~ baseball is that it starts every
year with a clean slate. Last years
records cut no ice whatever It's
what club does this year that
counts What a frightful thing it
would be, for example, if the Crack
ers had to start the season where
they left off last fall. But with
new management and a lot of new
players they can let bygones be
bygOnes and let has-beens be has
beens and start all over again with
not even the nightmare of the past
two seasons to trouble them.
I HIS is the finest time of the
year for the baseball managers.
They dearly love to trade. From
now until the opening of the train
ing season they can propose swaps
to their rival managers. And they
can talk of the fine prospects of
their team for the coming season
and everybody will listen to them.
Reporters are eager to record the
wise words that fall from their lips.
Inc manager and the reporter are
very chummy these days. Past diff

some OF the teams drop to the eel
