VOLS OWNER NOT
WORRYING OVER
CASTLETON

NASHVILLE, TENN, Feb. g.
" President Hirsig, of the Vols,
has Joined the 'I-Should-
worry and Get-a Wrinkle club
having displayed all the qualifica-
tions necessary to membership,
when the announcement came that
Roy Castleton, the big southpaw
secured from Vernon, Cal, had
branded the climate dished out in
Judge Kavanaugh's circuit as
germ laden and disease ridden and
unfit for any self-respecting hurler,
with leanings toward Mormonism,
TO live in.
Roy got to looking at a medicine
calendar with weather forecasts for
1913 on it, and suddenly remem-
bered terrible spell of typhoid fe-
yer, which landed straddle of his
neck while a member of the Crack
ers, and right out in front OF Brig
ham Young's temple in Salt Lake
City, Utah, he took terrible oath
place of the typhus bacteria.
The kernel of the whole thing is
that Roy is peeved because his
salary of $50 iron men will be lop-
ped off to 500, which Is the popular
sum in the Southern league. Maybe
Roy is also little sore because he
came to Nashville in a deal which
sent Teddy Bair to Vernon? Isn't
1t enough to make a man mad?
If Castleton persists in his re-
fusal to report. Hirsig will suspend
him. but he isn't wanted around at
all If he is going to play a second
Rowdy Elliott. Hirsig had expected
Roy to prove tower of strength
to the Vols pitching staff, despite
the fact that his work with Vernon
last year was frazzled and pop
eyed, but as for that matter FL
lott was expected to prove the sem
sation of the league behind the bat,
and COULD have. 1t is a recognized
fact that a ball player, no matter
how good, If he be sore on his sur
roundings, won't deliver the best
brand of goods.
After having bought Bpl Ludwig
from Louisville, President Hirsig
has decided not to have the aged
backstop report, for advices from
Louisville indicate that Bill Is all
in, is wretchedly weak hitter, as
slow as the tariff revision, and sell
dom succeeded in tagging runner
shuffling along to second

White Sox May Trade
Harry Lord to Yanks;
Big Deal Hangs Fire

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--In story
IN which came from Chicago it
is rumored that Harry Lord.
of the White Sox, will be traded
to the Highlanders at the, American
league meeting which will be held
here next week.
The Chicago story says Comis-
key would take a pitcher, Caldwell
preferred; an outfielder and
youngster for Lord. The eutfielder
mentioned is thought to be Roy
Hartzell, while little Jackie martin
may be the young player thrown
into the deal to close the bargain.
If such a deal were made by
President Farrell and Frank
Chance. it would be ten strike for
the HighIanders, and the probabil-
ity that it will go through is
stronger than many persons may
be inclined to believe. Lord Is one
of the greatest third basemen IN
the game, a hard hitter and a great
base runner.

The Cleveland club has been pros

sparklers. Taking a haphazard
guess. in the last half dozen years
almost 500 players have been in the ;
clutch OF the Nap officials
OF about eighteen real recruits
who were on trial at Mobile last
spring, only five have remained for
a longer trial. That number in
cludes Pecl1inpaugh, Baskette,
Steen. Ryan and O'Neill. Possibly
O'Neill might be eliminated from
that number He had secured a
trial in the fall Of 1911 and had
been pronounced as fine prospect.
It's no deep, dark, hidden secret
that the Cleveland club has inten-
lions to dispose of Peckinpaugh
if a suitable price can be procured.
That will reduce the number Of
recruits who survived the elimina-
ton process to four.
COME folks have referred to base
- ball as being one of the greatest
gambling propositions in the world.
Perhaps it is. After scanning the
squads who have been tried, and
noting those who have made good,
one isn't surprised to note that most
men intimately connected with
baseball are constantly skeptical.

who were called in the spring to

Famous Carlisle Coach Says
Jim Thorpe VIII Surely Live
Up to Reputation With Giants
BY Sam Crane.

nj EW YORK, Feb. 5.--Will jim
IN Thorpe make good? Can
this descendant of Aneri-
cas- first people who won greater
praise and admiration than any
athlete of modern times perform
on the diamond as he did on the
track, field and gridiron?
This is the question that every
Giant rooter has asked or pondered
over since the hero of the Olym-
piad braved a battery Of photog
raphers, grabbed pen and scrawl-
ed his signature on a sheet of
parchment that makes him part
and parcel of the New York base
ball club while the cameras clicked
merrily.
In an effort to enlighten an eager
and anxious public on the subject
the scribes have dug up every old
record within reach. Even the de-
funct bush league which harbored
the Indian and caused his fall from
grace as an amateur was dignified
with notice and its records APP
pealed to after they had been as
signed to a grave of dust. And
after search as thorough and
minute as any ever instituted fol-
a peek into the future, the answer
is-not yet
Probably even if Manager Nc
Graw were gifted with second sight
and could foreteIl with certainty
that the Indian will make a sue
cess, he would hold back the in
formation, as this would rob the
fans OF all the delight of anticipa-
ton, when the wires from Marlin
begin to buzz a few weeks hence.
But McGraw, wise and learned
as he is in matters pertaining to
the national pastime, doesn't know
any more about Thorpe's prospects
than the average follower Of the
sport

First Meeting Saturday.

Before Saturday he had never
met the Indian marvel and during
the short interview was able to
learn little that would enable him
to make any prediction even were
he inclined TO do so. He knows
enough about him, though, to be
sanguine concerning his ability.
IL there is any one qualified to
speak Of the Indians future that
person is Glenn Warner, director
of athletics at Carlisle. who has had
Thorpe under his wing ever since
the youth entered the school. War
ner has been more than a coach to
him. He is thoroughly familiar with
Jim's ability and disposition, has
counseled him in all his under
takings while at school and really
acted as his guardian during those
times. 1t was he who advised him
to join the Giants when Thorpe
made up his mind to enter a pro-
fessional baseball career.
Warner accompanied his protege
to the Giants headquarters Satur-
day and had long conference with
McGraw, during which, no doubt,
he gave the Giants leader many
pointers on now to get the best re-
suits out of the athlete, and War
ner did not hesitate to give his
reasons why he thought Thorpe
would live up to his great reputa-
ton in his new field.
"He is fond of the game" said
he. land / do not think his showing
with the Fayetteville team gives
line on his true ability. At Car
Isle he was not permitted to take
part in baseball as much as he de-
sired. I thought it better that he
should direct most of his attention
to track and field sports and foot
ball. for these were more impor-
tant in the college world.
Now that he can concentrate

all his energy on the one sport,
look for him to improve rapidly,
for he is an apt scholar. quick to
grasp any new phase of the sport
that he may be shown, as well as

Thorpe Has Little to Say.
Thorpe himself had little to say,
being reticent and silent, as are
most of his tribe. He did have a
ready reply when Secretary Foster
asked him his Indian name, flashing
q tumble of words that knocked
some of the scribes Off their chairs.
He might have gotten away with
it, too, for few noted the twinkle
in his eye, but Warner made him
confess that Thorpe was the only
monicker he possessed.
