sleeve over the disappointment
Thorpe had been, for McGraW allowed
him to disappear in only 10 games,
only in parts of some of them and the
big fellow hit only .143 in So times
at bat, scoring only six runs and,
with all his tremendous speed, steal
ing not a single base. Some persons
expressed the opinion that McGraw
was carrying him on the Giants pay
roll simply as drawing-card, be-
cause Of his fame earned in football
and track athletics. But now it seems
otherwise. McGraw has announced
that Thorpe was a sensation before
the worlds tour ended, hitting like a
streak, fielding sensationally and run
ming wild on the bases.
Gall Thorpe needed" says McGraw,
twas everyday action, instead of
idleness, although of course sitting on
the bench last summer gave him a
chance to l.arn lots Of things that
will stand him in good stead later
on"
The members of the world touring
party aver that Thorpe will put up d
hard battle for regular berth in the
Giants outfield this year, but it will
have to be strictly regular battle if
he hopes to horn his way in. The
Giants have one of the most impress
sive looking punches of outfielders in
the country. Jack Murray, George
Burns and Fred Snodgrass, lasd
years regulars, are all on hand, and
in addition, the Giants now have Bob
Beacher, the sensational baseruner
obtained by the Herzog- Hartley trade
from Cincinnati, and Dave Robertson,
the smuggling southerner. Two less
heard-of youngster, Piz and Harrl-
son, also have been showing up to adj
vantage at the Marlin, Tex, training
camp. Yes, sir, Mr.. Thorpe will have
to go some to do it this year, but we
surely hope he can. However, here's
offering five dollars to two doughnuts
that he is fixture, and sensational
one next year, at least.

New York, March IA. Preseason
exhibition games between teams of
the two big leagues, known ordinarily
as interleague contests, are becoming
more abundant as the years roll on.
The various club owners, as the re-
suit of annual stock-taking, notice
that no small amount of money may
be added to the exchequer through
this means, and the managers of the
teams realize more and more the
value of some real competition as a
test for young players and also as a
means of keying up the regulars for
the campaign ahead and impressing
them with the scheme of attack and
defense to be employed.
This year, in addition to number
Of impromptu affairs that will be ar
ranged when two big leagues clubs,
on their way north from the training
camps, happen to find themselves in
nearby towns with idle days, there are
exactly IL regularly scheduled inter-
league games. The longest single

that between the Athletics, champions
of the American League and of the
world, and the Phillies, runners-up
in the National League last year, but
now rent and torn by the Federal
League assault. These clubs will Of

to 10, with only four off days in the
stretch, two of them Sundays and the
others April and 9, when the Ath-
letics play in Brooklyn and the New
York Americans cavort on the home
grounds of the Phillies.

John Hughes, member CT the Ha-

Job and, according to authoritative re-
port, has resigned because he resent

the governor is faced with the duty

In contradiction to the reported
