Of the New York club this afternoon,
and, incidentally. signed a contract for
1913. He also met Manager McGraw for
the first time Glen Warner came here
with Thorpe. His salary will be 5000. it
is said.
McGraw congratulated the Indian and
the Giants for having secured him, and.
after looking the 1.-THE redskin over, said
he thought he would do.
This is my first meeting with Thorpe
said McGraw, ''and. of course, until l
have seen him play l can tell nothing
about his ability. but from his size and
build I am convinced that he will make a
ball player of whom New York will be
proud"
I am glad 70 go with the Giants said
Thorpe, but | would rather have re-
mained an athlete.
But that is all over now" he added,
sadly. and there is nothing more TO say
about it. The quicker that is dropped the
better I will be pleased. It's something
don't want to talk about"
