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

NARLISLE, PA, Jan. 20
While it is practically GER
tain that Jim Thorpe. the
Olympic hero who has confessed
being a 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 Piusburg National league
club, which is said TO have offered
him $500 a 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
contract, has had a lot to do with
the exposure of Thorpe's profes-
sionalism.
For some time past this man has
been scouting around for the pur-
pose Of finding some blemish on
