THORPE SHOULD
Be APT PUPIL
Indian Athlete Has Great Founda-
ton for Ball Player

What McGraw is going To do with
Jim Thorpe now that he has him safe
~ branded with the mark of the Gil
ants is a considerable of proposition
any way you look at it.
In track and field athletics and on
the football field the Indian is without
an equal In such sports as have re-
ceived his serious attention and con-
sideration he stands alone.
But proficiency in other branches of
athletics does not necessarily indicate
any great skill at baseball and GER
tainly there is nothing i'm Thorpe's
record to prove that he is above the
average run of Eastern Carolina assoc
citation and such like players. He may
be another Mathewson or a second T.
Cobb. but he carries the burden of
proof.
1t often happens that good football
players are also clever on the dia.
mond, but just as often they are not.
HOBBY Baker, great on the gridirop
and phenomenal in the hockey ring,
is also rated as possessing the quail
fcations that go to make high grade
baseball material, but has been unable
of recent years to give the game the
attention it requires. Ted Coy, the
football wonder of his time, was no
great shuoks on the diamond.
Thorpes football style, however is
oe the sort that would also go well
in baseball He has wonderful speed,
and his experience on the football field
ma on the Cinder path has taught him
the art, or the knack, as the case NAV
be, of jumping into full speed almost
in the first stride. Such a faculty
should help him with his baserunnlng
Il he can be taught to pick the prop
or moment for starting.
And his hitting as well. Thorpe's
batting records Indicate no great
amount of skill as sticker, but it is
said that a fine eye has been permit
ted to go TO waste for want of sup
port from the rest of the clubbing
parts.
The Indian is a free swinger. the
sort that smashes fences or strikes
cut. Given working knowledge OF
he chop stroke with his speed and
ability to get under way quickly,
Thorpe may be coached into beating
cut many a short poke.

TWO NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
Princeton Coaches Would Remove
Posts and Adopt Numbers.

Princeton, n. j., Feb. 12.-At a
meeting of the Princeton football
coaching committee in conference with
Parke n. Davis. the Princeton mom-
Der of the football rules committee,
two changes i'm the football rules for
1913 were formulated for presentation
to the rules committee at the meeting
in New York next week.
one suggestion is that the goal posts
be removed from the field of play back
To- the end of the zone, To eliminate
danger as far as possible. The other
is that each player wear number
on his jersey, the number to be white
and eight or ten inches high, sewed
On a dark background.
The men will probably be required
10 wear the same number all season
T. Mr. Davis plan is carried out. The
change i'm the goal posts arises from
the fact that two Princeton players
were injured last season by falling
against the posts.

VIEWS OF BAN JOHNSON.
D'saerees With August Herman on
Thorpe Incident.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-President John
son OF the American league is not in
sympathy with the move by Chair
man Hermann of the national COM
mission to take up the matter of Jim
lhorpe's amateurism with the ANA
teur Athletic union. He is i'm sym
pathy with Thorpe and expressed the
opinion that the Indian ought not to
have been asked to return his prizes.
but he does not consider it question
cE which the national commission
could take any official action.
incidentally, Mr.. johnson disclosed
the fact he is in possession of infor-
nation which would place several
other college men, past or present, in
the same light as Thorpe. He said:
IF | have had one l have had a
dozen requests by managers in the
American league To withhold the pro-
mitigation of contracts signed by men
who did not want To be known until
they were through college
II am glad the Swedish athletic au.
thortics took the stand that Thorpe
was entitled To retain his prizes be-
cause the time for protests had oN-
pircd, ana hope they will send them
back To- him. Individually, members
Of the national commission are free in
this matter but I do not agree with
Mr.. Herman in the matter of taking
action as body"
