CAN'T SEE THORPE.
sam Crawford says the Indian is
Neither Good Hitter Nor Fielder.

Jim Thorpe is far from being a
major league baseball player as yet,
according TO the opinion of Sam
Crawford, who went around the world
with the famous Indian athlete.
Thorp's speed is all that commends
him. according to Sam. He is not
a particularly good fielder and he
cannot hit He is not a natural hit
ter az all, but he gives the bat lit
tie upward chop as he swings at the
ball in a way that Crawford never
saw any man do before
Furthermore. Thorpe doesn't seem
to have that baseball instinct that
is so necessary for a big league
player, says Crawford. He is a very
chesty fellow for a man who has yel
to prove that he is of big league
calibre, Is the assertion made by
Wahoo Sam.
