 His first introduction to fann vas in an undesirable light, and, through no fault of his, gained him not )riety rather than glory He was mix" uI with the Lajoie batting scandal in St Louis in the fall ot 1910, which re- suited in lot of trouble for Mana ger O'Connor and Pitcher Howell 1t also was considered partially res ponsible for Corriden's return 10 tl.t minors, although he was held per sonally blameless.
 It was Corriden's tough luck to be playing third base for the St. Louis Browns on the day an attempt was made to boost Lajoie's batting ave rage over that of Tyrus Cobb of D4 troit, so that the Clevelander cou,t claim the automobile which haf been hung up as a prize for tho leading batsman in each majoi league.

l0,OQ0,O0O STAMPS FOR PARCEL POST
 NOW DAILY OUTPUT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-By lirec- ;ion of Postmaster-General Hitchcock the bureau of engraving and printing today increased it's daily output Of parcels post stamps from 5,d0O,o0o to 10,000,000.
 From virtually every section of the country acquisitions by mail and by telegraph are being made for more distinctive parcel stamps. Postoffice officials are positive that no danger of d tie-up of the service exists on account of the exhaustion of the supply of stamps, as a suffi- cient reserve is on hand here.
 Reports received from postmasters in various parts of the United States indicate a tremendous increase in business on account of the parcels post, but no serious congestion is re- ported and the department has not been requested to furnish any ad- ditional assistance.

INDIAN GREATEST ATHLETE IN

Jim Thorpe of Carlisle will go down in athletic history as the no blest redskin of them all" It is doubtful if any human being ever combined the manifold athlectic pro elivities as this young buck" of the Fox and Sac tribe By winning the tecathlon and pentathlon in Stock holm this aborigine proved Americas : greatest individual star and at tho same time the most wonderful man

 SHOWS REMARKABLE SKILL.
 Those that have seen Thorpe in ac. ton on the football field say he ex- hibits remarkable skill Captain De- wore of the West Point eleven, who
 is the best tackle in the country and l probably the strongest man in foot ball. standing feet feet 1 inches in his football gear, said of Thorpe
 He is the greatest player l ever have seen in my five years expe- | rience. He is superhuman, that's all. There is no stopping him. Talk of your Ted Coys, Why, this Indian is as far ahead of Yales great back | as Coy was better than a prep school player There is nothing he canno. | do. He hits the line about twice as hard as Coy did. He kicks better in every respect and he is far more cun, ming and capable of worming his way through a scattered field There never was a man who knew more of following interference and break ing away from it at just the proper moment to his best advantage. You may have your Lefty Hymns and your Brickleys and your Ted Coys, but take Thorpe for mine every day in the week"
 Walter Camp selected Thorpe on his all-American football team yea, ago. He was good in 1911; he is su perb in 1912 He is an ideal football player. He appears at half back because he is of greatest use at this position. Put him anywhere on the eleven, however. and he will still be star. He has the strength size and weight for any line posi- tion; the speed for the end.

deacon Stuck brings the details of the death of Victor Ekengren. whoSg death was reported sometime ago.
 The archdeacon starting out from Fort Yukon, came to the Beaver settlement after hard days travel and Was there informed of the white. mans death which had taken place some distance further downstream. Proceeding with all haste to the cabin of Ehengren Dr. Burke anl the missionary found the body of Ekensren stretched cold in death. After examination it was decided that death was due to heart failure.
 With great difficulty the Archdet l. con and his companions were able to bury the deceased, the thermome- ter registering IS below at the time
 From the confession of one of the natives it was learned that an il.- dian in drunken fury had attacken Ekengren couple days before This, it is thought, tended to super induce the attack of heart failure
 Upon his arrival al Panama Arch deacon Stuck swore out warrant fer the arrest of the native and . special deputy was despatched to make the arrest.
 Ekengren was an old timer in Alaska, having for many years car ried on wood chopping along the Yukon.
 After spending several days in Fairbanks the Archdeacon left Wednesday morning for Panama Crossing where he will spend but q few days, r' turning here before Easter

BY PIKE JOHNSON.

II ever there was champion who had the map of ireland stamped all over him from the moment that he arrived on this globe it is Luther Mccarty heavyweight titleholder of the world
 Add 10 this excessive Irishness the "showmc" spirit of Missouri tn" stamina acquired by years spent on Western plains. and natural in born hankerius for the ring, and you have pretty lair idea of the whit, hope" who has made good in less time than any worlds heavyweight champion ever made good before in the entire history of the ring.
 To analy4e McCarty's Celtic quail ties little mor" closely. considei these facts. First. Incomes of Irish stock. second. his name is dyed-in-tha wool Irish hird. he has an Irish manager in the person or William McGarney. Fourth and last. he was born on March r.. twenty years and same months ago
 Is is any wonder that the clans are hastening to back him up anu that he promises to become one ot the most popular ring idols of the day? Certainly in the face of all these facts il is not his place to "Wurra."
 A 90 by +o-ioot room seems fairly comfortable wiih ten or fifteen or thirty ordinary people in it. but take out all of them and let Luther entat the room and you begin to get lit tie bit crowded Massively built from the ground up. he looms head man, and wherever he goes peopl,s who know nothing of him prove the truth of the statement by turning around to get q second look at him
 Physically. McGarty looks like the perfect type of fighter He has the small. keen, deep pset eyes. His chin IS massive affair that might have been borrowed from some ancient masJodon. His head is heavy ant looks capable of withstanding tha punch of the mightiest His biceps are huge things when fexed. stand. ing out like wire cables under q smooth satiny skin that gives no hint of the power concealed under heath when held at ease.
 With all his weight. and he ca, ries over 2a0 pounds of it, the Nils sourian is light and last. and whil+ he is no bantam in speed. he is tar quicker than might he expected.
 As for his personality, McCarty Is greater big. oger.grown boy usually, with flash of grimly ma ture spirit breaking out now and then as he talks of his ring ex. periences Accustomed to an out door life. even d few minutes inside lrks him and he stalks restlessly like some big bear newly tanned to ciyi, llZation
 While Manager McCarney talks McCarty strolls around looking at cartoons and pictures and singing a song. story attracts him quickly. but he is soon off again.
 Always he appears to be getting a huge enjoyment out of life and the glare of the spotlight has found him greatly interested but as vet un. spoiled by the publicity which his feats have given him
 Manager McCarney is an older MeCarty. Years of experience in hstic sports and in newspaper work. have left him d shrewd. wide awake citizen, alert to the advantages of good management, always keen for business but always. too. on the level he two get along as father and son, or rather as pals, for McCarney takes more than a mere financial interest Tn McCarty and is always ready to take part in the adventures whi, n the kid" is encountering.
