JIM THORPE A PROFESSIONAL?
Claim That American Al-Around Champion Ineligible Amateur Filed With Secretary Sulivan-Based of Charles C. A. Clancy That Thorpe Played Pro- fessional Baseball.

New York Jan. Exchanges ques- tioning the amateur standing of James Thorpe the Indian athlete and all- around Olympic champion. were filed secretary of the Amateur Athletic un- ion. The charges are important be- cause if sustained they would des- troy Thorpe's eligibility as an amateur when he won the Pentathlon and Cac- athlon contests in the Olympic games st Stockholm last summer and also would depose him as the American all- round champion, a title he won here upon his return from Sweden.
 The charges are based on the state ment of Charles c. A. Clancy, manager of the Winston-Salem baseball team of the Carolina association Clancy pitched and played first base for the Winston Salem club in 1910.
 Sullivan Discredits Charges.
 James E. Sullivan, chairman of the national registration committee, said tonight:
 T don't believe there is any truth in the charges of professionalism against Thorpe I have every confi- dence in his amateur standing
 MT. Sullivan said he had long talk over the telephone with Coach War ner of Carlisle today, during which Clancy to him denying that Thorpe had ever played on C1ancy's team or any other team in the league and also denying the statements attributed to him.

THE INDIAN ATHLETES
 AFTER COLLEGE DAYS
Coach Glenn Warner Tells What Be- comes of the Carlisle School Foot ball Stars When They Graduate.

Coach Glenn Warner of the Car lisle Indian football squad, the terror of many a big college eleven in the United States, has told the world warriors of the gridiron after their pastiming days are over. He asserts the heroes of the gridiron who have played on the Indian elevens are suc- ceeding in business.
 It was in 1899 that Warner came to Carlisle With the exception of a three-year interval, when he coached the Cornell eleven, he has been with the school since that time Coach Warner spoke freely of the Indian football players and what becomes of these wonderful gridiron athletes when their school days are ended.
 Participation in athletics has shown it's value at Carlisle. It gives the In- dian competition in physical endeavor, and l have seldom come across a case where football player didn't do better work after leaving the school because of the discipline of the game.
 T have been able to keep in touch with many of the boys. and they are getting along splendidiy. There is Johnson, for instance, the star All American quarterback and captain of at Carlisle in 1903.

EATERS WORRY PITCHERS.
Attitude Often Cause of Downfall In
 Pinch.

l Probably nothing is more disconcert- ing to a pitcher than the attitude at | bat of persons like Iris Speaker. " Cobb and Heine Zimmerman Heine handles his bat as if it were a tall 1 toothpick.

 ating of swatsmen. Probably Christy Mathewson would have liked to shoot "Spoke's" head off in that last world S series game With the Sox one run first and one out in the tenth inning, Iris popped up his now famous foul, which was allowed to fall to the ground through a misunderstanding Speaker, not knowing at first whether 1t was a foul or fair, started running toward first base. He stopped half way when he saw where the pill was go- ing to light. Matty had loped over to the vicinity of the coachers box to direct the catching of the ball After the fiasco he started sadly on his way back to his position. Speaker, going to the plate for another effort, passed him.
 Pretty lucky that time, Mattysk he said. I'm goin~ to bust the next d1e'' Now, Spoke didn't mean that he him self was lucky. He wanted to convey to Christy the impression that he, Speaker, should have cracked that ball out of the. lot and that the foul was a mistake that wouldn't be repeated. No outburst of curses or maledictions could have stung Ma.tty at that mo- ment half as much as the charge lucky" If Mathewson was lucky that day Jack Pf1ester's a right handed third baseman. Speaker resumed his place at bat, swung his stick vtcfous1y and awaited the next delivery with tantalizing smile. The ball came over, he busted 1t, and the score was a tie
 In the tense moment that followed with Yerlxes on third, Speaker at sec ond, Lewis on first, where a walk had placed him, and Gardner up Iris be- haved like wild man. He was sane enough not to take much of a lead, for his run meant absolutely nothing, but he performed dances and emitted sounds that must have filled the hearts of Matty, Herzog and Doyle with an intense hatred. Perhaps his exuberant spirits had no effect on the faItering opposition. Perhaps they did. Any how, confidence like his, Cobb's or Zin's never hurts the men possessing it nor the team to which these men belong.

A RIVAL OF THORPE.
Guyon of Carlisle Promises to Be Am
 other Great Athlete.

Jim Thorpe, the worlds greatest a1I- around athlete, is to have a rival some day, according to the latest advices from Carlisle. He is Guyon, the star Indian tackle, who played his first foot ball game for the Indians this year. Guyon. according to Warner, the coach and athletic director, is headed the right way and is as good a natural athlete as Thorpe In the interests of science Thorpe has recently been un- dcrgoing meaSurem ents, on the theory that his development Is physically that of just about the perfect man. He Is above all a product of gradual devel- opment-
 A couple of years ago Warner appre- ciated Thorpe's aptitude at aH-around athletics, and by a careful graduation in bis development strengthened him first in the particular field events which did not involve continual strain, up to the point of middle and long distance running and hurdling.
 At first his exceptional abilities were appreciated because of the small nun Der of grown male students at the Carlisle school, for whom schedules had been arranged with some of the leading universities of America, who have enrolInentS running into thou sands of students. FrequentIy Thorpe was called upon to enter an event for which he was comparatively untrained in order to give Carlisle a competitor against her rivals in this particular event The most notable feature in connection with his physical growth has been the evenness with which he has built up his present proportions In no way does he resemble the typical strong man No knotted or corded muscles out of proportion to his body break the symmetry that is the most characteristic feature Of his physical makeup.
 Today the master athlete of the world, as a type, stands half way as 8 physical product between the sin uous aborigine. who has been found at some time or other in nearly every country of the world. and the modern product of civilization, with specialized muscular development. To outward appearances the resemblance to the abOrigine is certainly the more marked

A GREAT PICTURE.
That of "ParsifaI' at the Grand
Tonight.

The Ambrosia company of Turin,
the world famed feature producers,
have excelled themselves in this grand
production of "tParsifaL" which has
been immortalized by the music of
Richard Wagner, and is known
throughout the world as an operate
masterpiece.
The opening of the film shows the
passing of the procession of the
knights of MonsaIvata. who go to
venerate the St GraaI. the cup in
which is kept the holy blood of Christ.
They arrive at the temple. where the
bishop appoints Amfortas guardian of
the St GRAIL saying to him, This
cup will make you invincible if you
keep pure.
Suddenly the magician. Klmgsoor
accompanied by kondrie. appear and
conspire to make AmfortaS sin. The
next scene shows the trick of the ma
gicians and how successful they were
in causing Amfortas to sin, which
makes him unworthy of the office as
guardian of the St. GRAIL. Amfortas
is punished by d mysterious illness,
and his suffering causes him to con-

praying to God to appoint a worthy
successor and they are rewarded by
seeing Il vision of Parsifal.
At that moment Parsifal is awak-
ered by an angel, and feels that he
has been appointed to a great mis-
sion and, making way to his home,
he tells his mother of the vision.
The next scene shows Parsifal
learning the laws of knighthood and
how to use arms. Parsifal then OBJ

then again see the magicians plotting
to find the chosen knight, and they
see reflection of him in the magic
looking glass, and then conspire to
ruin him as they had Amfortas. After
Disgusting themselves as knight and
