M'GRAW STILL HOPES JIM
THORPE MAY LEARN TO HIT
Giant Leader Seems obsessed With
Idea That Big Indian May Yet
Become Great Ball Player.

There is something about Jim
Thorpe that John McGraw can't re-
sist. o.s
The Giant leader has sent Thorpe
on his way several times since he
signed him in 1913, but has always
brought him back to the Giant fold
for another trial.
McGraw appears to be obsessed with
the idea that some day Thorpe is GO
ing to make a wonderful ball player.
He has made Thorpe Il sort of hobby
and nothing would please him better
than being able to teach the big In
dian how to hit major league pitching
consistently. f, r
When Thorpe was sent to the Reds
early in the season everyone thought
1t was final farewell insofar as the
Giants were concerned But when
Mathewson finally turned him back to
the New York club, in August, Nc
Graw decided to keep him on the pay
roll. and as a result Jim became one
Of the eligibles for the worlds series.
Lucky for Thorpe? Well rather.
Any other manager In the two big
leagues would have turned Jim over
to some minor league club without a
moments hesitation, and he would
have watched the worlds series from
the outside.
In everything but hitting Jim
Thorpe is very capable ball player.
He fields well and runs the bases well.

"A sock or sweater, sir" she said,
And darned if know which"
This little verse has been going the

you can be to order each day, that
the gaping column for photographers

censure. II you don't believe II, try
it for yourselves day after day!
But Notwithstanding the para
graphers, the need for knitting Is
most insistent. Anyone who can help
either by making the much needed
garments or by giving money to buy
wool that others may knit is being
truly patriotic. Only an adequate

able our boys and those of Other
countries as wen, to comfortably
withstand the cold and the dampness
OF trench and camp life. They are
giving up much for our sakes and the
sake of their country. How much are
we willing to give up or TO do for
them:
Knitting is not strenuous occupa
ton. One can knit and talk, as well
as knit and dream Many will pre-
fer to do the latter-especially thu
mothers and sweethearts. What fab
rio of fancies will be woven in witt
the gray wool. What hopes and fears
yes, and prayers. Bright fancies
too, along with the more sombre ones
thoughts of happy home COMING
and glad reunions. Are you knitting
yet? If not, when are you going Il

But when, II comes to wnlloplng tlc
ball Jim is lacking. A curve ball will
cause Jim, 10 tie himself into a bow
knot, and every pitcher in the National
league IS Jerry to his weakness. Now
and then, Thorpe gets hold of fast
one, and, when he does 1t is tough on
the Fences, for he is long-hy hitter.
But the trouble is that Jim doesn't hit
'em often enough to be of much use
as regular, for the outfielder who
fails to hit has no business In the line
up of q major league club.
Thorpe is one of the most wonder
fully developed athletes in the game
today. He is big powerful, and fast
on his feet. His fame as star on
track and field and on the gridlron
Is well.known, but his fame as call
player is minus quantity.
Thorpe is twenty-seven years old.
He was born at Tucson, Arlz., in 1890,
and he stands feet II inches in
height and weighs 1876 pounds. He
got his A. B. C.'s in baseball at Car
Isle, and before signing with the
Giants he played with Wilmington
| u. c.; Rocky Mount, Fayette and
beaumont. Since he first came to the
New York club he has played with
Jersey City, Harrisburg and Milwau-
kec, and although he always hits well
In the minor leagues his bat falls him
when he faces big league iabbers.
Lucky Jim Thorpe? Yea, Bo!
