jim THORPE STRIVES
HARD FOR GIANT JOB

II it were not that Jim Thorpe used
TO be the worlds greatest athlete and
the greatest of all American football
players, people would take his claim
to recognition as major league base
ball player more seriously.
Thorpe is fighting 1t out with Jack
Murray for the utility outfield berth
with the Giants. There is feeling
Jim is going to lose. It is not a feel
ing based on any superiority that MUIR
ray has shown. 1t is simply that peo-
pie who follow baseball, including the
war correspondents with the Giants,
are used to chanting the old slogan
about Thorpe that was true when he
started with the Giants:
We'll, Thorpe was the greatest
football player ! ever saw, but he
will never make a big Lacquer in base
ball He started too late AS a
matter Of fact. Jim Thorpe is today a
major league baseball player. This
statement is true. even if the Giants
let him go and other big league clubs
are so short-sighted as to suffer him
to drift back to the American asso-
citation.
There is hardly a com parison be-
tween the ability of Jim Thorp and
Jack Murray now, Thorpe is in fine
fettIe.
Thorpe Is Ave years younger than
Murray; he Is twenty-sx and Jack is
thirty-one. Thorpe is faster on the
bases going to first and will cover
more ground in the field. He is a
better hitter than Red John, notwith-
standing the general impression that
he cannot hit a curve ball, Murray's
only advantage over his Indian rival
is his throwing arm. And If you will
notice how few men outfielders throw
out during a season, you will see how
immaterial this advantage is

CALL IT ALLIES VICTORY
Pan-German (Annexationists) Angry
over Central Powers Peace Terms.

Amsterdam, Dec 29.-Pan-G German
newspapers angrily condemn the
peace terms of the central powers.
The Taglische Rundeschau of Berlin
says:
Never before have we given up so
completely everything We so dearly
bought with the blood of hundreds of
thousands. with the sweat of millions,
with the depriVations of our children,
with our own hunger.
The Deutsche Zeitung says that the
entente has won the greatest victory of
the war and that the diplomats have
destroyed all that has been fought for.
The Koelnische Zeitung, on the 9TH
er hand, regards the conditions as
opening the road to a peace advan-
tageous to all sides. The Lokal An
zeiger thinks that the German answer
to Russia will not be much to the
taste of people of military leapings
but adds:
THE outlines, however, are drawn
wide enough to give scope for de-
mands of Justice. Definite judgment
upon the peace work at Brest-1itovsk
depends on how far this possibility is
utilized in later negotiations"

BACK UP PREMIER
Political Attack Gets Prompt
Rebuff From French S0l0ns.
Approve Calling 1918 class for
Work Behind Battle Front.

Paris, Dec. 29-The debate on the
bill authorizing the government to
prepare a list of the men of the class
of 1919, preparatory to calling them
to the colors, was seized upon today
by critics of Premier Clemenceaa as
an opening for an attack on the sub
ject of releasing the older soldiers. In
the plainest language the premier re-
fused to give any undertaking. He
received the enthusiastic applause of
the greater part of the deputies.
The vote Of the chamber yesterday,
Nj Clemeneeau said, was a mandate
to the government to carry on the war
and he asked the chamber to give him
the means. General Petain, the COM
nander in chief. had asked for a GER
tain number of men to carry on urg-
emily needed work on environments
behind the line.
Make Hun Prisoners Work.
1t was his purpose to detail to this
work German prison ars, the Russians
who had been Fighting in France until
the time of the Russian overturn,
40, 900 men drawn from the auxiliary
forces, and agrieultufists in the
classes Sof 1890 and 1891, who would
be called back for. two months, mas
much as there would be no farm work
in January and February. If the
chamber did not wish to have this
work done, the premier continued, let
it say so, and he would go. If the
chamber knew of other resources let
it reveal them.
''At the time when German divisions
whose number 1 cannot calculate are
arriving on our front from Russia, is
it proper. for you to find fault about a
few hundred men 1 need?" M. Glenn
eneeau demanded. IF men from the
rear are required at the. front they
must return to the front" The bill
was adopted by 425 to %.
