Servants Want Their Pay.

Even the janitors, elevator boys and
other servants called on the telephone
during the morning, uncertain whether
10 resign or remain in the hope that their
wages would be paid. Assurances that
the money would be forthcoming calmed
their agitation.
A conference between the lawyers for
the company the receiver and the mort
gage holders developed g plan for "un-
scrambling" the siXty-six properties tied
up without loss 10 any of them. In ac-
cordance the receiver stated that each

learned that instead of the holders of

Life Insurance Company, with a single

Concerning Thorpe's contract. Tommy
Rice in the Brooklyn Eagle says: When
il was announced with a tremendous
flourish of trumpets that Jim Thorpe. the
Carlisle Indian. had been signed by the
New York Giants at a large salary. the
present writer remarked in a still small
voice that things are not always what
they seem. The thought was not orig
inal with us, for one of the old-timers
remarked in the days gone by the great
essential truth that 'all is not gold that
glitters." However. as the instructors
in the high schools insist upon their
young charges writing. back to Thorpe
and the contract. We suggested that
while Thorpe was signed for big money
now said to be 5000 per annum-he
was on a regular contract. and under
the provisions OF that document he can
be released upon ten days notice. All
of which illustrates that there Is a heap
OF difference between signing as afore-
said and getting the corpulent wage
aforementioned. If Thorpe is failure
as a ssOoO proposition. President Hemp
stead will probably have enough loose
change left without mortgaging the Polo
grounds. to pay him ten days salary
and send him back to the reservation.
Thorpe is said to have received a bonus
OF $500. which is his. ana for which he
is doubtless much obliged. That he gets.
and it cannot be taken away from him.
Glenn s Warner. the Carlisle coach. who
rared because Thorpe was exposed. but
was strangely silent upon the reasons
why Thorpe deliberately and premedi
tatedly deceived the Olympic commit
tee about his amateur status. is said
to have received a bonus of $500 for in
ducing Thorpe to join the New York
club. Wherefore, We deduce that War
ner is not so doggone mad now over the
fact that a Worcester paper blew the
Indians real status and showed him up
as a man willing to bring opprobrium
upon the government of which he was
a ward In order to get a free trip to
Stockholm. A book upon the ethics of
sportsmanship by Glenn s. Warner. who
was. so opposed to summer" baseball
that he favored the abolition of baseball
as a college sport, would make interest
ing reading.

game for his long distance throwing.

the league in hitting. with more than
100 per cent. The amateur league sea-
son started in April, and in June he was
strongly recommended by the writer to
Manager Griff1th, of the Washington
American League club. and later signed
by the old fox to, a 1913 National con-
tract.
While Marsans was playing with the
Reds ne was told by his friends about

In addition to getting conflicting dates

York Americans as a rival attraction at

The latter club will play twcnty-ninr
games At the Polo Grounds this year
when Brooklyn is scheduled for its own

these Americana atiOnal conflicts will
occur when the Athletics are in New

Five local boys will be candidates for

report to the team early in April.
Dutch SteIzer. the former Technical
High School star, was the leading
twirler OF the Erie club last season. and
vii reJoiu the team this summer. Abe
Martin, who pitched good ball for the
bumpers and Cornell Tigers of the Capt.
tai City League. will also report to the
Erie aggregation.
One OF the best amateur pitchers ever
seen in this city will leave town with the
other boys, Phil Buscher being the lad
in question. BGscher pitched good bail
for the Wilmington outfit in the Tristate
League two years ago. and was drafted
by the st. Louis Nationals. He refused
to report last summer. and was later de-
ciared free agent. Buscher should
prove to De one of the star fingers of
the league this year
Earl Steele and Chick Davis are the
other men who will take a fling at the
professional game with the Erie club.
Davis is Il third sacker of the first rank
