 Tn ali the years | have been attend ing baseball games -and they are more than l would care to number there is one play which stands out in my mind as the greatest have ever seen, says contributor to the American Maga zine.
 There was no wonderful skill em bodied iu the play It was. 1 suppose, pure luck But the fact remains that havp never seen it duplicated nor ap- preached. and it is. so far as know. unique in the annals Of baseball
 "The game waS one between Wash. n@ton and Cincinnati back in the days when Washington was in the National league The score was to o in Gin ciuuati's favor in the last half of the ninth. Two mcn were out. and Wash ington had q runner on second. with Wilmot at the bat On the first ball pitched Wilmot swung hard and knock ed an infeld ay, the highest l have ever seen. The ball went up and up until it was visible only as a tiny specE

7 HOPPE GUILTY;
He PLAYED BALL
FOR MONEY

~ ARLISLE, PA, Jan. 2S.-Now
that he has confessed to pro-
fessionalism, Jim Thorpe, the
great Indian athlete. is being de-
luged with Geographic offers from
major league ball teams, and scouts
for most of the clubs in the two
big leagues are rushing here today,
in an effort to secure Thorpe's sig
nature to a contract.
Thorpe's letter to James e. Sui
Ivan, secretary of the A. A. u, in
which he admitted playing baseball
for pay with the Rocky Mount club,
in the Eastern Carolina league, In
1903 and 1910. removes absolutely
the hope his many friends enter
tanned that the charges of profess
sionalism, first made Thursday,
might prove untrue.
Fhorpe's plea is that he didn't
know playing professional baseball
would injure his amateur standing
in field, track and football events.
AioA PSt WIAcy SOlll pSllIlS DIS Ill
amateur, won the highest honors at
the Olympic games in Stockholm
last year and by his wonderful
ability earned the title of the
worlds greatest athlete, must now
return to Sweden the two trophies
he won. These trophies will be re-
turned to Sweden by the A. A. u.
with note of apOlORV
H. Weislander, of Sweden, who
finished second in the decathlon,
will be given one while P. r. Bic,
who was second in the pentathlon,
will be awarded the other.
Thorpe promised this morning
that he might have something to
say later when asked for further
explanation as to his confession and
as to his future plans, but would
make no other statement.
Thorpe will finish his course at
the Indian school here this spring,
and it is thought he may accept
one of the baseball contracts that
are being frantically waved at him
by the big league clubs.

Heap of Slugging at Dixie Club
Tonight; Smith Picked to Win
Over Hard-Hitting Kid Young
THERE should be enough slug

THERE should be enough slug
ging at the Dixie Ath-
letic club tonight to suit
the most rabid fan. Terry
Nelson meets Battling Minor
in the main event; Kid Young ties
up with Al Smith in the semi wind
up. Here are four young men who
know nothing but slug
The semi windup really looks
like the classy event of the even
ing. Nelson and Minor may put
up a wonderful bout, but when
Young and Smith get to swapping
punches the fur Is sure to fly. Both
pack K. o. wallops and it's cinch
that one or the other will sneak it
across before the eighth and final
round Is reached.
Young has won all his fights to
date by knockout. But even with
this remarkable record, Smith is
ruling favorite for tonight's show.
The wise ones think that Smith
win keep away from Young for four
or five rounds and that by that
time the Kid will be well played
out. They figure that Young has
to win quick or he blows up.
Minor fought here a year or SO
ago and gave satisfaction. Nelson
hasn't battled here since he went

tween them which will continue I'M
til about the middle of winter,
when they will shake hands and
join forces again for the welfare of
the club, Baseball is a great game
T is less than a week since Frank
Chance announced that he pro-
posed to reorganiZe the. scouting
department of the New York club
Instead of one or two scouts all
told he said, he would have one or
more scouts in every minor league
"a secret band of experts who
would report to him on the qualifi-
cations of the likely looking young
sters
1t is less than a week since
p Chance made his announcement,
and it is safe to say that by this
time he has received upward of
thousand letters from would-be
scouts applying for the job. The
number of men who believe they
are qualified to manage a ball club
is only exceeded by the number of
men who believe they are qualified
to judge ball player The woods
are full of them.
y UT as matter OF fact, most of
these men who think they can
Judge ball player have only a SUI
perficial knowledge of the game.
They are fooled by outward ap-
pearances. A graceful player
catches their eye and they think
he is a great player, whereas as a
matter Of fact the player is proba-
bly, fundamentally wrong in all his
actions
An infielder of the Frank Laporte
or Andy Mcconnell type would
strike the average amateur scout
as being well nigh perfection. A
player of the Hobe Ferris type
would be passed up. Laporte and
Mcconnell allow the ball to play
them instead of playing the ball as
Ferris does. Laporte and McCon-
nell scoop up a grounder with a
graceful sweep of the hands, take a
pretty little hop and then toss the
ball to first When the ball comes
to Ferris it strikes his hands in a
solid manner There is no give to
Ferris, hands. They are like a stone
wall. Then without any waste of
time or any lost motion with hands
or arms or feet, Ferris chucks the
bail to first. No man playing ball
ever handled grounders better than
Hobe Ferris, yet his style would be
considered faulty by majority of
the would be scouts.
r HE point cited is one of a thou
sand in ball playing. If club
owners bought all the players rec
commended to them by amateur
scouts. they would be bankrupt in
month. and they could never
realize on their investment. The
only men qualified to be scouts for
big league ball clubs are those who
have been big league ball players
and know the game from A to u.
occasionally there are exceptions to
this rule, but the exceptions are
mighty rare.

FARRELL BUYS lNTOJ.C.
TEAM; WANTS IT AS FARM

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The next step in
the building up of the New Yorks is the
buying of stock in a big minor league
team located at hand to be used as a
club which has been selected for farm
is none other than the Jersey City club
of the international league.
The price to be paid by Frank Farrell
IS said to be approximately SIS 900. This,
of course, would not give him the club
outright, nor even anything that APP
proaches controlling interest, but ac-
taking over of this block of stock would
give him full power to make any deals
that he might dictate between his Ameri-
can leaguers and his farm" In this re-
spect he would be just as well fixed as
is Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit
Tigers, who controls the Providence club
of the international league.
