MUCKALEES SHOW CLASS
IN DAILY WORKOUTS

A few more practices like those two
of yesterday and Davie Castor will
have his Muckalees ready to meet all
corners. The boys worked for oveH
five hours under a broiling sun AMI
Castor was more than satisfied VITA
the workouts. The squad will holl
forth down at the park twice today.
The morning session will begin at 10
o'clock and Dave will trot the boys out
for the afternoon workout at 2.
CASTOR has sixteen candidates out
these days and every one of them looks
good enough for a Muckalee uniform.
We do not begrudge Davie his job of
picking the dozen men he will carry.
Dick Manchester donned his uniform
and reported for practice at the after
noon workout. Dick is the same old
peppery kid and is going to give some
one a hot run for the Job back of the
platter. A kid that can throw like
Manchester does and hit over 280 at
the same time is handy enough for any
body's ball club.
The fans have been sweet en- the
bunch Dave has since they day they re-
ported. The only weakness they could
see was in the pitching staff. But the
hot rays of the sun have begun to seeD
into the muscles of the boys and the
five pitchers Castor has on hand are
beginning to change the opinion of the
fans.
1t looks as though Dave is going to
be able to select a good corps from
them. Red Dacey can be relied upon

Dissatisfaction of the rank and file

treatment of the army officers is an,
other factor which is likely to has
ten a general election.
The provincial liberal papers, as is
usual, are even more outspoken on the
subject of the governments surren
der to the officers than are their
London contemporaries. The Man
chester Guardian says:
ut is with deepest regret and
some shame that we have heard of
Premier Asquiths even partial ac-
ceptance of the doctrine that officers
have the right to lay down for them
selves the conditions under which they
will continue to serve the king.
They are so treated because they
are rich men and because they have
the prejudices of their class. LOT
only then is there one law for the
rich man in the army and one for the
poor, but there is one standard for
the Tory officers loyalty to his oath
and another standard for the private
soldier, whose sympathies are with
the laboring men.
Similar documents appear in the
Liverpool Post, also strong liberal
paper.

EXPECT THORPE To.
BE SENSATION OF
THE COMING SEASON
MAY BE THE GREATEST BASEBALL
MAN OF ALL TIME-UNCERTAIN
WHEN HE ENTERED THE GAME

Jim Thorpe, Indian athlete, prom
ises to be the most sensational ball
player of 1914.
The astonishing advances made BY
this famous athlete in baseball have
furnished managers, owners, players
and experts with an object lesson that
threatens to overturn lot of the ira
ditions of the national game and tn en-
compel a radical change in existing
and accepted methods.
If Thorpe keeps his promise he has
given during the fall and winter it
will be triumph for John McGraw
far greater than the winning of a
worlds championship could be and it
will make him the greatest man Of
baseball-of all time. 1t will be a
triumph for McGraw's methods of de-
veloping baseball players.
Thorpe is the greatest athlete in the
world. He has proved it in almost
every style and kind of going. He
won the all-around championship dur
irg the Olympic games. He had played
some baseball, but was only a medi-
OGRE player and wretched hitter in
school and with the little team with
which he played and professionalism
himself.
When the New York team signed
Thorpe to play baseball it looked to
many as if New York was merely put
ting over a press agent schem"
Thorpe earned his salary last season
in advertising he gave the team, but
McGraw evidently had other ideas.
There is one thing about McGraw. If
he has faith in player he will stick
to him longer than other managers
would. He calculated that Thorpe
could run faster, throw harder, jump
harder and higher, and was stronger
than any athlete in the world With
that material he set out to make d
real baseball player.
Thorpe was an uncertain fielder,
an erratic, hard swinging, uncertain
batter and he had most of the faults
that would be considered fatal in a
young player. McGraw kept him whel
other managers would have fired him
as hopeless prospect before the
training trip ended All last sum-
mer McGraw worked patiently with
the Indian and watched him. He WIS
satisfied Thorpe, he discovered also
had brains, and the Indian was study
ing, watching the actions of others,
and adapting himself to certain meth
DDS of others.
Then the round-the7world trip
started Thorpe had the opportunity
of watching different kinds of ball
players and he suddenly cut loose and
commenced to execute the things he
had seen the famous players do. Play
ing of the Indian proved the sensa-
ton Of the tour, and the players when
en- route homeward wrote wonderful
stories of the Indians ability to play
the game and declared he will proba-
bly, "set the league afire."
