JIM THORPE
 28 ON SUNDAY

Jim Thorpe, the great Indian ath- lete whose failure to make good with the Giants has demonstrated that there are limits to his versatility, is getting along in years. Thorpe will be twenty-eight tomorrow, as he was born May 2S, 1888, on a farm near Pargue Okla. It is understood that McGraw has decided that he can never
 make a major 1eaguer out of the fam ous Sac and Fox Indian, but the New York club will have to pay part of his salary this year, as his $5, 900 con- tract with the Giants does not expire until next fall. McGraw has an option lon the aborigine and may repurchase him from Milwaukee at the close of the season if his work with the Brew
 CTS justifies it. but it is probable that Thorpe has played his last game in the big show. Against major league i twlrling Thorpe is not much better than he was when he started with the Giants although he does fairly well in the big minors Last year with the Jersey City and Harrisburg clubs of the International League he batted near the 300 mark.
 When McGraw signed Thorpe he gave the Indian an ironc1ad contract for three years at s5,000 per annum.
 It was a mighty poor investment for
 McGraw, but it was no indication of lack of astuteness his part, for Thorpe's past achievements in the athletic field made him look like a mighty promising candidate for base

handler nearer to the initial bag.
 When you take into consideration how often during season that a throw beats a man to first by just one stride you can appreciate the great advantage there Is in hitting left handed.
 But this fact shouldn't influence a youngster who bats right-handed nor maIly to shift to the other side-un- less he has as much or greater power in his left shoulder as his right"
 And then the subject was shifted to Lajoie and Wagner.
 How much better do you think those two men would have batted if they had been left-handed hitters- and fast afoot?''
 From 20 to 40 points each season during their prime.'' answered Rob by. Both men rank among the greatest sluggers the game has pro- duced. They never scored fuke hits. When they made safettes they earned them by terrible walloping.
 ''At least 25 times each season La joie and Wagner have been beaten out of hits to the infie1d because they ar rived at first just a fraction of g. sec ond behind the ball. That means the stride. Batting from the left side would have put that stride in their favor and those outs would have been hits
 But both these men are norm al right-handers. They have the real swinging power in their shoulders. Had they shifted to the port side they would have sacrificed their nigh- ty slugging ability. So in their case, as in the case of any normal right handler it would be folly to change to the left side.''

JOHNNY EvERS IS LIKELY TO START
 RAvlNG ANY TIME

Johnny Evers, according to Pitts burg writers, is going to break out one of these days in a storm the like of which never was put on in baseball Under orders he is keeping off the unpir res-,-dfrectly-but the effort is telling on him and he is accumulat- ing wrath that is bound to boil over soon. Just now he's getting such re- lief as he can by going after players of the opposition and through this method getting in an occasional dig at the hated arbiters. A sample of some of his stuff is thus related by a Pitts burg scribe
 Otto Knabe of the Pirates was chewing with Carlisle Smith OF the Braves.
 Otto Knabea aaG'wan, you, bum third baseman; the garbage man ought to pick you up-
 Red Smith-After they threw you out of the Federal League the Pirates picked you up. Just in your class now. You fat stiff
 Umpire Nal Eason-Here, you two fellows, cut that rough stuff or you both get shot out of the game with "a dent in your pay envelopes next week.
 Johnny Evers-weH, I'll be horns waggled, gosh bnnked, gee whiz, if the umpires ain't getting rotten. Trying to make the fellows cut out talking to
 
 the game. Chat is near as we can repeat Johnny's talk and get by with it through the mails). z
 Jimmy Smith-Hey you, Evers, g'wan lay down and die.
 Business of Evers making the air blue with his talk while Eason was threatening to put them both off the field. Then the inning ended).
 Tn the next inning Jimmy Callahan was coaching at first base for the Pi- rates and Eason was standing near. Cal1ahan-WeIl of all the bad base is the worst. Both clubs are playing bad stuff Just like kids.
 Eason-That's right. Jim, the fel- lows are all having an off day.
 Evers (from second base)-That's right, Jim, bull the big stuff. the rot him and in minute he'll double cross you, just like he did me.
 A minute later Evers stopped the game, rushed over to Eason:
 EversEDid va hear what that called me, didya5 hear it, the little : runt. (Meaning Jimmy Smith.)
 Eason-No, Johnny. did not hear him say anything.
 Evers-That's right, you big four husher, you home crowd guy, you always giving me the worst of it, you bIankety blank blank blank. You won't let me say a word and I have to take all his gaff. That's a fine way to play it square.
 And so it went all during the game,
 Evers and Callahan are good friends, personally, but after the game Evers began to call Callahan every thing under the sun, on the way to the club house. Cal was accused of 1 being yellow and called names un- thinkabIe, but the Pirate boss kept | his temper. Finally Jim turned to 1 Evers
 CaIlahan-Go way, Johnny, be- Iieve you are out of your head, hon estIy, believe you are. 1cs:ng your mind.

ball honors. Some of the Giants de-
 clare Thorpe might have made good
 if he had paid more. attention to diet.
 In the training camps the redskin had
 the reputation of being the champion
 eater of the world, and it is alleged
 that he got outside of more grub at
 breakfast than some of the men con-
 sumed during the entire day.
 If he has failed to attain his ambi- ! ton to shine as a star in the National League, Jim has consolation in the fact that he has made a neat little
 bale of ka1e out of his experience. Most of the money he received from the Giants has been invested in farm land in Oklahoma. and when he quits the diamond he will be able to be-
 come an agriculturist on a. large scale
 His services as a fotball coach are also in great demand
 The Olympic hero made himself a favorite with the Giants and with the players of all the clubs on which he has worked. Unless his prodigious appetite be called a vice, he took good
 care of himself, and his failure to
 stick with the Giants was not due to lack of trying.
 Although not a star of the diamond,
 Thorpe is certainly the best all-round athlete who ever played professional baseball. At the gridiron game he
 reigns as king, with mighty few if any peers. In almost every O1 track work and athletics he was of
 stellar quality, and his momentous
 achievements in the O1ympics, all though tarnished by the later charge of professionalism, gave him an inter
 national reputation It was the slow curve that got Thorpe's goat in his attempts to win
 a place in the majors. The benders baffIed the eagle eye of the Indian and left him helpless His fielding
 was fair, hut not remarkable, and even
 in his base-running Thorpe did not make use of his marvellous speed to
 the best advantage. He used his head, but his conclusions were as often wrong as right. His only chance to
 get back in the big show is to batter down the American Association fences.
 Thorpe, being a college chappie, has thought up a name for his ail- 1 nent while with the Giants. He says he was afflicted with parabolitis, which, according to Jim, is a disease which prevents a man from getting the proper hitting slant on a curve ball Thorpe's failure to make good under the main tent is but another proof of the theory that ball players are born and not made. A successful ball player is something more than an at
