Jim Thorpe, and Fox In- dian, Olympic prize-winner and one of the greatest football players that ever denned gridiron armor, is mak- ing his last stand on the major league baseball diamond. Without question one of the greatest athletes ever de- veloped in America or in any othcr portion of the world, Thorpe has made a name for himself, in track and field sports, lacrosse, football and col- lege baseball. It was not until he un- dertook to play the latter game in the big leagues that he found a sport wherein he failed to shine with his accustomed brilliancy. Fresh from his Olympic trinmphs st Stockholm and the subsequent sen- sational stripping away of these hon- ors by the amateur athletic union on the charge that he was a profe al, Therpe was signed to blay the New York Nationals by Manager John J. McGraw From the very b ginning the redskin athlete ran like . deer in the outfield and on the bhase; fielded well but was helpless before the curved pitching of the big league be ars. Given a ralght ball heart of the plate, Thorpe v his powerful arms and shoulders could lift the ball over the centerfielder’s head. The trouble was the pitcher never made such a mistake but once. Thereafter Thorpe got nothing but curved pitching and the Indian swung on the slants in vain. The Indian drifted from the major league to the minors and even there his helples: at the plate caused him to bhe c de for a less sen:ational player who could bat in pinches. Through it all McGraw Teld firm to his belief that eventually Thorpe would master the art of hitting a curved delivery. This spring McGraw decided to give him another :hance with the Giants at the training camp at Marlin, Texa There the redman was persuaded to try batting left-handed waen he went the Sac th a the | early spring curves and his admirers have taken hope. If it is demonstrat- ed that Thorpe, batting left-handed, can land on the ball wita his heavy black war club, there is place for him with the Giants and Mc juag- ment will have been vindicated. If it is proved, however, that it but a flash of batting ability then Thorpe and the big leagues will part compuny forever. ) YALE WELL FIXED FOR BASEBALL SEASON Billy Lauder Secs Promj For Eli ng Material Bascball T Team—~Gar- field to Try For Tcam.
