well.
Tomorrow Smith will put Gilbert
Price over the jumps. while Satur-
day Orlie Weaver will take his final

Of my most careful coaching.
Il have sent Thorpe away with the
second team simply because he can
get more work and be able to play IN
games every day, an opportunity he
would not have with the regulars.

There is not an exhibition game ON

he has not made good. He rises 10
emergencies. He needs the inspiration
Of "A. real battle. While in Marlin,
there was nothing at stake in the
games between the Giants and colts,

pedals and smooth path to speed up,
as he only can.
Jim has a splendid stand and
swing when at bat He also has a
good batting eve. / have never seen
an Indian who didn't. He can sure hit
the ball and as hard and as far as
Chief Meyers. although, of course. jim
is not the polished batter the chief is.
but he will become so. never fear.
Thorpe was fooled occasionally on
curves. but tell me what player isn't
in the spring.
Far From a Failure.
If Jim Thorpe had reported 10 me
in Marlin a plain Josh Jenkins from
"a bush league he would have made a
hit with me as a promising recruit,
and that tells the whole story.
1T is all bosh about his being O
failure.

He viii stick with us, and wouldn't
sell him for twice what ! paid for
him. Is that strong enough ."

HISTORIC SPOT is UNMARKED

Excepting for few months, Wash

his entire administrations as presi-

Adams did likewise during his term.
There was no White House, but a
brick house. and, as quite generally
known, 1t stood on the south side OF
Market street between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The house itself long
since disappeared, and 1t seems
strange that Philadelphia has never
taken the trouble to make In a suit

executive mansion stood when occcu-
pied by the Father of His Country.
When Washington came to Phila-
delphia to attend the continental con-
gress before taking command of the
army, he lived in the SWEETEST board
ing house In the city. 1t was kept by
Mrs. Triste, at the southwest corner
of Fifth and Market streets. But
while more fashionable. the house has
been far less famous than the hore
