CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—Manngers of baseball teams who hat been tele graphing and writing James Thorpe, the Indian athlete, for his terms may begin again, as Thorpe, it was an- nounced by President Johnson of the American League, is not a free agent. Thorpe is under contract with the Fayetteville (N. C.) club, and it will be necessary to negotiate for his re- lease through the owner of that club. President Johnson received this in- formation in a telegram from Secre- tary Farrell of the National Associa- tion, In 1910 Thorpe signed a con- tract with the Rocky Mount (N. C.) |] club at $125 a month. Later he was transferred to Fayetteville and re- served by that club.
