"JIM" THORPE, INDIAN,
TO PLAY WITH GIANTS

New York. Feb. 3.-'Jim" Thorpe. the
indian athletic marvel, has signed a
contract calling for his services with
the New York National league baseball
club dUrisg the season of 1913 In so
doing, he stepped forever from the
ranks Of amateur athletics. a sequence
to his recent confession that he had
played professional ball several years
ago and was not entitled to the ana
teur hOnors, accorded him at the Olynl-
pic games
Thorpe said today that he prefers %
pitch with the Giants, but it is thought
probable that McGraw will work him in
the Outfield.
Having become an out and out pro-
fessiOnaL Thorpe has resolved not TO
reveal the names of the college men

ball with him some years back He

FEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. 5.-Frank
M Chance is looking around for a
u Y veteran catcher to assist him IN
coaching his young pitchers during the
training season It is understood that
he tried to land Heine Pietz, the Old
time Cincinnati Red, but Heine had
signed up with the St Louis Cardinals
and so the new leader of the Yankees
is casting about for some one else.
Nearly every team in both leagues
now has its veteran coach, and most
of the clubs carry him the season
through. His value has been demon
strated time and again, and especially
to a team having a lot of young pitch
ers like the Yanks. Wilbert Robinson
is credited with being largely respon-
sible for the development of RUDE Mar
guard and Jeff Tesreau and he is an
invaluable aid to McGraw in many
other ways
If MordecaI Brown fails to pull q
comeback this season, Joe Tinker IS
almost certain to carry him to look
after his young hurlers, and the three
fingered one should be of great assist
ance in that way.
Chance has three or four recruit
pitchers who have great opportunity
to make good their first year out, II
reports of them are to be believed, and
over to his coach and instruct him TO
give them all his attention.

COUNTY FAIR DATES
CHANGED, OCT. 13, IA,
Fair Will Be Handled Through Cham
Der Of Commerce and Committees
Appointed Friday Night.

On account Of a desire to ex-
hibit the Curry County Fair
products to those from the east
who might arrive on the first
homeseeker's excursion in Oc-
tober, and also not conflict with
the the fair dates of the Pan
handle and Albuquerque fairs to
be held from Oct. 6 to IL inclu-
sive, it was thought best by
officers and members Of the
Clovis Chamber of Commerce,
who will have charge of the
fair. to change the dates from
Oct. /, 2, as announced in last
weeks issue Of the News to Oct.
13 and IA.
Through some misunderstand-
ing, the Chamber failed to meet
last Friday night and the matter
is to be taken up at next meet
ing and handled through that
body instead of by an individual
association.
Though the dates will not be
definitely fixed until Friday
night. the News was able tc
learn from an expression Of
many of the officers and mem.
bers of the organization that
the dates above given will be
acceptable.
It is also planned to send
representative from Curry coun.
ty to the Amarillo fair and upon
its conclusion to induce as many
as possible to visit the Curry

of whiskey in violotion of the

that he sold the whiskey, in
fact, that he sold it purposely.
stating that his reason for so
doing was merely for the pur-
pose of testing the law by
means of a writ of habeas cor

contends that the law under
which the election was held is
in violation of the state consti-

attempts to delegate to the
county commissioners a legis-
lative authority, by directing
that upon the filing Of minority
petition twenty-five per cent
of the qualified voters of any
given territory-in which the
proposed district is bounded and
described, the commissioners
shall declare that territory a
district for the purpose Of the
law and shall thereupon issue

it is contended is a power that
can only be exercised by the
legislature and one which can
not be delegated. Portales

Barnes Big Circus
A Splendid Show.

a Spienoiu OnoW.
To say that the people Of this
city and country were pleased
with al G. Barnes big circus
which exhibited ia Clovis last
Saturday would be-. putting it
mildly as they were more than
pleased.
When Mr.. Barnes advertised
that his circus was something
different from the ordinary cir
Gus Of olden days he told the alb
soiute truth and his promise was
faithfully carried out. Not only
was the attraction something
different, but the demeanor of
the employees was something diff
ferent, as all were as courteous
and accommodating as if you
were their most intimate friend.
The roug gh class that ordinar-
lily follows a circus of such mag
nitude and gigantic proportions
as that of AL G. Barnes were
conspicuous by their absence
as Mr.. Barnes has made it un-
derstood from the start that he
would not tolerate anything of
the kind. and he has given his
employees to understand that
they must be courteous to the
public.
The animals were well trained
1by the best trainers in the world
and if any one who witnessed
the performances complained Of
not getting their moneys worth,
we have failed to hear of it
while on the other hand all who
attended it are praising it most
highly.
The performance of the cent
er ring was probably the most
interesting. 1t was in this ring
which is encircled with a stee
cage that Miss Martha Florint
appeared in the cage alone with
two ferocious looking lions, tws
leopards and two panthers, anC
where Louis Roth the world'i
greatest animal trainer appear
ed with a group Of sixteen lion
surrounding him. The perform
ance of Cap. Stonewall with hi
Sea Lions was none the less in.
I teresting. To say the least, j
/. was the most interesting exhibi
ton that the people Of Glow
ever witnessed, and should thi
show ever appear here again
they can rest assured Of a re
cord-breaking attendance.
