THORPE ADMITS CHARGES.
Is a Professional and Olympic Tro
phies Must Be Transferred.

New York, Jan. 2S.--James Thorpe.
the Indian athlete and olympic cham
pion, yesterday admitted that charges
of professionalism brought against
him were true and formally retired
from amateur athletics. Thorpe's con
fession was contained in a letter IL
the registration committee of the
Amateur Athletic union, which met
today To investigate his case.
The letter admitted that Thorpe
played baseball for salary on a pio-
fessional team three years ago whit"
a student of the Carlisle Indian school
but that on the same team there were
several northern college men who
were regarded as amateurs and Thorpe
did not realize his participation was
wrong Thorpe added that he did not
play for the money he earned. but foT
the love of the game.
Thorpe's winning of the Pentathon
ana Dccathon events at the Olympic
games and later his wonderful per
formances, which won for him the all
around championship of the Amat 'u
Athletic union last September stamp
ed him the most marvellous all around
athlete of modern times. In addition
his prowess as a football player earn
ed for him last season. by unanimous
choice of leading sporting writers the
position of halfback on the annual all
American football team.
All the prizes and the honors which
Thorpe has gained since l909-the
date from which his standing as a
professional begins must he trans
ferred through the officials of the
Amateur Athletic union To the men
who finished second To the Indian i'm
every event.
The loss Of the six points scored 10y
Thorpe in the Olympic games still
leaves the United States winner by a
wide margin, however. the total
standing United States ~ with Fin
land IN second place with 20.

Detroit. Mich. Jan. 2S-The rump-
us within the jungle of the Tigers is
still at white heat. The hold-out clan
cobb, Crawford, Dubuc. Stanage and
Davy Jones, got thump between the
eyes. scoring one for Messrs Navin
and Jennings, but the punch has not
floored the other star holdout men.
Jones has been sold To the White
Sox for $4,000. but his departure is not
going tn cause any great deal of Weep
ing among the fans. Davy has seen
his best days as Tiger, and he is
simply following In the footsteps OF
Matty Mcintyre, who left here bounC
for the White Sox from which club
he was chased last season to the Pa
cilc coast.
The real trouble. however. within
the heart Of the Tiger lair is To salts
~ the big holdout men. Cobb has not
sent word to Navin what he intends
To do, and Crawford is most defiant.
Big Sam threatens 10 quit unless his
demands for more money are satisfied.
and Dubuc has also handed this def
Ia the Tiger boss. Stanage is keep
ing quiet, presumably To see how his
other three partners in crime are GO
ing tn succeed. for Oscar did not have
such sparkling season last summer
that would permit him demandnG
much more money than he drew down
1t looks like a plot on the part OF
the mon to get Jennings. Davy Jones
is bitter against Hughey and boldly
claims that Jennings abuse of his
players has completely demoralize1
the Tiger machine. Davy and feN
other knockers of this town have pick
ed the Tigers tn finish sixth or lower
in the coming hurdle for the Amer
lean vac.
