Jim Thorpe Blames Pittsburg
Scout for Exposing Him; VIII
SignWi a Big League Team

NARLISLE, PA, Jan. 29.-
While it is practically Ger
tain that Jim Thorpn, the
Olympic hero who has confessed
being a professional will quit
school within few weeks and sign
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 a representa-
tive here today dickering 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 in 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

peared to McGraw as if it would
never reach him. Finally. after
what seemed to be an age. he found
himself with the ball in his grasp
and he turned 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 nerved himself
and not only did he get the ball
over but he fired it several feet over
the first basemans 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 a ball player
he was nothing short OF a frost.
McGraW pulled out of Olean that
night and went over to WelIsville,
where he finished the season. He
did so well that at the end Of that
year he was the recipient of eigh-
teen different offers from managers
who were willing to pay high for
his services.

match with Palzer might be a good
enough excuse to set Johnson free

7 I may be Of interest to old Uni
versity of Georgia men and to
others as we'll to know some
thing of the first days of athletic
activity at the university, of the
men who composed the various
teams and of what has become of
these men since leaving the univer-
sity.
We will take up first the old
baseball men who in the past have
done their part In UNFOLDING the
colors of the university.
While for some years prior to
1886 baseball had been played at
the University of Georgia by the
different classes, the first regular
Georgia team was organized in
1886 and played the first intercol-
legiate game in the state at Union
Point Ga, against Emory college,
Of Oxford, Ga, winning the game
by a score of 10 to l. The men
that made up this team We're:
Pitcher-Charles Ed Morris, class
Of 1883.
Catcher-A. W. Jones, class OF
1885.
First Base-R. L. Novel;, class
of 1887.
Second Base. j. Nell, class of
1856.
Third Base-E. ]. Bondurant,
class Of 1888.
Shortstop-John D. Nell, class of
1886.
Left FiIed-C. H. Wilcox, class
of 1885.
Center Field. c. Nell class of
1888.
Right Field-Q. L. WiIliford. class
of 1888.
1t is not possible to tell much of
the peculiar ability Of each Of these
men, but it is said by some of the
old timers" who have been closely
in touch with all the Georgia teams
that this first team Of 1886 was the
best that Georgia has ever turned
out.
y Ut we are interested primarily in
what became Of these men aft
er leaving the university.
Charles Ed Morris, the pitcher
was the first man in any Southern
college to throw a curved ball
About the time he left college there
was professional baseball team
organized In Chicago and carried
all over Europe playing baseball
Norris was offered a position on
this team as pitcher, but parental
objection stopped the young twirl-
er from following his career.
After leaving college Morris be-
came a certified public accountant
and now is a member Of the firm
of Haskin & Sell, of New York
city. Mr.. Morris career has been
