jim THORPE MUST PRODUCE.
With Boston Braves, Famous Indian
Athlete Will Have to Show Ma
jor League Ability.

Jim Thorpe, famous Indian athlete,
sold recently TO the Boston Braves by
Manager McGraw of the Giants, must
stand upon his own feet in the future.
The celebrated Fox and Sac Indians
sale this time is strictly bona fide
proposition, and unless he can prove he
has major league caliber he will be
shunted to the minors.
IS Thorpe's passing from the Giants in
dictates that he has completed his post
graduate course ia baseball. Signed as
ball player at a time when he was
at the peak of his fame as an athlete,
Jim Thorpe failed to win regular
berth, but was held because his con-
tract was an ironclad one and also be-
cause McGraw believed he was capa-
Bile of annexing as many laurels on the
ball ground as he had annexed on the
gridiron and the cinder path.
Jim Thorpe may possess major
league class, but he does not possess
the sort of class that McGraw demands.

Daseman, as he played first base for
GreenvilIe in the Interstate league in
1900.
In 1902 the Pirates released the lit
tie fellow to Columbus in the Ameri-
can association. He played there two
years and won fame as a third base
man. Cleveland needed no third base
men, as Bill Bradley, then in his prime,
was guarding third base for the team.
However, a place was found for Terry
at short between the famous stars,
Bradley and Lajoie, and It wasn't long
before Terry's fielding was on par
with that of this illustrious pair.
Turner played shortstop for Cleve-
land until 1910 when he was shifted
over to third base, where he continued
to play fine ball. In recent years
Turner has not been considered a
Cleveland regular, yet he got in "A

Cotton Top" Turner Not Playing
This Season.
Terry Was Considered Fixture on

With the Indians.

Another familiar old face has passed
from the big league. Or should we
say an old familiar shock of cotton

Cotton Top" Turner, who for Is years
was fixture on the Cleveland Amer
lean league team. No more famous
crop of hair was worn in the big
leagues than the crop that adorned
Ferry as he dug them up in deep short
or raced up the third base line to
gobble up slow-hit grounders.
Turner, who has been given his I'M

Wagner, Lajoie, Wallace, Leach, Craw-

Turner.
II is true that Turner was consid-
erably younger man than the other
men referred to. Turner is only thir-
ty-seven. Lajoie had been playing big
league bali seven years before Terry
won regular berth with the old
Cleveland Maps in 1904. But in the
average fans mind Turner is associ-
ated with these older fellows, and fans
got to such stage that last year they
were calling Terry "Old Grandpop."
1t seemed as though Turner had been
with the Cleveland team for century.
AS matter Of fact, Terry original
ly started his big league career with
the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1901. But
the Pirates were champions In those
days, and Turner, then only nineteen,
had little chance to break into the
game. Turner. at the time, was first

HOW EMERY BALL HAD ORIGIN
Russell Ford Pitching in Game at At
ianta Hit Concrete Pillar, Scuff-
ing the Leather.

Back in 1907 Russell Ford was
pitching to Ed Sweeney before a
game ir the Atlanta (Ga.) park. Ford
tossed wild one that struck a con-
crete pillar behind Sweeney. Swee-
ney tossed it back and Ford pitched
again. 1t started straight for Swee-
ney's NIT, then jumped aside,
"What did you do to that one?'
asked Sweeney.
Nothing" Ford replied. Then
Sweeney picked up the ball and
saw the leather was scuffed where
1t hit the rough pillar. He tipped
Ford off.
In the big league Ford used an
emery paper to scuff the balls and
with Sweeney catching they cleaned
up"

MULLIN NOW WITH OAKLAND
Former American League First Base
J man Is Playing With the Pa
cific Coast Team.

Charley Mullin, former American
league first baseman, has Joined the
Oakland (Cal.) club. BE broke in as
college boy with the Chicago White
Sox, but could not hit. He was sent
to Lincoln in the Western league,
where he managed the club and hit
SO hard that the New York Yankees
took him. Again he failed as big
Lacquer and was sent to Toledo. He
broke his leg there and then went
into the army.
He used to be very fast runner,
and is smart baseball player. He
is no .3De hitter, but IL he has any of
his old speed left he will fit in nicely
with the Oaks.

WHY JOHN PAUL JONES
WON'T USE FAST BALL

Lew McCarty tells an inter-
esting story of John Paul Jones,
the Giant youngster now with
the Toronto club, who is expect
ed to develop into major
league hurler of first rank with
little more experience.
''This spring" says McCarty,
II tried to get Jones to cut loose
with all the speed he had, for i
could see he was holding back,
but he wouldn't do 1t. One day
! asked him why he persisted in
keeping under wraps and he told
me.
"'0nce I was pitching against
the best pal / have, he said and
cut loose with a fast ball. My
control wasn't good and the ball
hit him ia the hip. The injury
laid him up for three months
and marked the end of his base
ball career. Since then I've never
put all my speed on a ball."
