The New York World.
MYTH Frank. Chance as manager
w OF the Highianders. beg pardon.
w the New Yorks. and Jim Thorpe.
the dethroned all-round amateur cham
pion, a member OF the Giants. both our
big league teams are well i1ovided
with drawing cards. In these baseball
days drawing. cards are important as
sets to q ball club. They attract tho
crowd and furnish advertising that
money couldn't buy. Chances appear
ance at the head OF New York team
will add 20 the clubs receipts In every
city in tho circuit and Ia sure to at
tract Newspaper notices TINT q woiver-
ton could never merit.
THE Indian hero of the Olympic
Games will do the same for the
! Giants. and McGrsw again proved
there are few wiser In baseball when
he stayed up all night to lard him.
Every baseball fan In the country VIII
want TO Geo the red man.
The Giants manager wasn't the only
one who recognized the value OF Thorpe.
whose worth was strangely increased
tsnfoid By the loss OF his amateur
standing. Five big league representa-
tlves, aside from Bancroft OF Cncin-
natl, made the trip to Carlisle to land
HIM. all with fancy financial induce
ments.
The chances are if the Indian hadn't
been projected into the sporting lime
light by the exposure Of his professional
tendencies he might have gone on un.
noticed a. q summer player In the
North Carolina League. But Just be-
cause some busybody called the A. A.
US attention to the fact that an ANA
teur ah.round champion was gettin.
sls5 a month with . small town team
the Indian to-day hnds himself forced
into the signing OF contract that
doubtless means thousands Of dollars
TO him.

has shown remarkable form since he
fought Jess willard ut the Garden. but
lie Will need everything when he goei
against the clever Englishman.
= EACH CROSS complained Of a bad
right arm before he went into thu
- ring with Young ShuErue at thu
Garden wednesday night. He explained
that he had two small fractures sbou
at the elbow since his bout with Zoe
Rivers.
What are you doing; aiib,ing yo'rscl
In advance?' asked a. listener.
"Oh. no. replied Leach. 1T won
keep me from using my right when
see an opening. and hope I get plent.
of good ones. only II 10 going to hurt mn
every time I land" We can't "a!
whether the fractures helped or handi
capped Leach. Certainly they di'
ehugrus no good whenever Cross con

A 3 near as can figure out from tn
following letter. Terry Mitchell
