fact that he considers the men who come

players are better off in that respect
and expects that they will report in good

Jim Thorpe Blames Pittsburg
Scout for Exposing Him; VIII
Sign With a Big League Team.

NARLISLE, PA, Jan. %
While it is practically GER
tain that Jim Thorpe. the
Olympic hero who has confessed
being u professional. will quit
school within few weeks and sign
a contract to play with some major
league baseball club. it became
equally certain today that Thorpe
will never sign contract to play
with the Pittsburg National league
club. which is said to have offered
him $500 year.
Nearly every major league club
has either sent Thorpe a tele-
graphic offer. or has representa-
tive here today dickeiing with the
wonderful Indian athlete. but
Thorpe, listening to the pleadings
of Glenn Warner, coach of the Car
Isle school team. has practically
decided To turn down the offer
made by the Pirates.
The reason for this is that War
ner is of the opinion that a Ger
tain scout i'm the employ of the
Pittsburg team, which long ago
tried to induce Thorpe to sign a
contract, has had a lot to do with
the exposure of Thorpe's profess
sionalism.
For some time past this man has
been scouting around for the pur-
pose of finding some blemish on

and the ball, which happened to be
one of those slow grounders, APP
peared to McGraW as if it would
never reach him. Finally. after
what seemed to be an age he found
himself with the bali in his grasp
and he TUNED to heave it to first
base. at which sack there was a
player who was the tallest in the
league.
The distance to first now appear
ed to McGraw to be fully a mile
away and his heart sank within him
as he suddenly thought to himself
that he could never throw the ball
that far Yet he neIved himself
and not only did he get the ball
over but he fired it several feet over
the first baseman's head Every
succeeding time the ball was knock
ed down to McGraw during the rest
of the game he managed to throw
higher and higher over the head
of the man on first
After the game the manager came
up to Mac and patting him on the
head told him that he was a nice
boy and so on, but as Il bali player
he was nothing short of a frost

TACK JOHNSON'S eagerness to

To be due to a strong desire on

felt the iron bands chafe his wrists.

across the big millstream would be
a good excuse for johnson to 20
abroad. if the Federal authorities
would fall for that sort of an ar
gument.
IOHNSON'S lawyers doubtless ad-

match with Palzer might be good
enough excuse to set Johnson free
TO move as he pleases pending trial.

Jake long chance on something or
other happening to save him from

Johnson's lawyers private opinion
They rely on public sentiment to
demand a fight for the heavyweight
title, now that johnson is willing.
If, once abroad, he neglected to
come back, Uncle Sam would have
some task making him appear in
