10 cents an hour or $l.90 a day of 10

at seems incredible that he should
have played for two years as a pro-
fessional and that no one has arisen
till this late day TO say so. OF all the
thousands of persons who saw him
play, of all the sporting writer's in the
stockholders in the baseball league
where il is passing strange there was
not one person to say before this time
that he was a professional"
The snarl which the board Of direc-
tors of the Amateur Athletic Union
was called upon to unravel because of
Thorpe's professionalism, appears, to-
day to be less complicated than at
first thought. Mr. Sullivan said that
Thorpe had participated in very few
events conducted under the Unions
rules and that while the Indian had
won many prizes and established new
records, most of the events were in
college athletics, over which the union
exercises no jurisdiction. TO expunge
Thorpe. the record committee of the
union, Mr.. Sullivan announced, would
canvass the situation shortly and
make a report to the board of COVER
nors. The committee will take mail
vote and the governors will act upon
its recommendation. Sometime may

ernors.
