Logan Cunningham, the former Cen
tral High School, baseball and football
star, last season's head coach at
Princeton, has decided to ault activity
on the gridiron in order to learn the
steel business in Pittsburgh. He has
turned down a handsome offer from
Northwestern University and will not
act as head coach at Princeton, flour
rrer. he may assist in routing the
Tigers for the Harvard and Yale cames
next fall.
It will be a great surprise to his
many friends to learn ofCunningham's
decision, for he earned unstintel praises
in 1911 and 1912 for his work with the
Princeton elevert. He was considered
one of the best football coaches in the
game and his reputation traveled far
and wide. Indeed, it was because of
his work at Princeton that Northwest
ern tried to obtain him for three years,
beginning next fall.

New York Writer, Surveying Thorpe's Case, Blames A. A. U.
Officials in This Section Who Overlooked His
Professional Bail Playing So Long.
By EDWARD MOSS.
NEW TORK. Feb. 2. James Thorpe, for his stick work.
the Sac and Fox Indian, and the world's
greatest all-round athlete, continues to
hold his place In the sporting limelight.
His disbarment from amateur sport by
the A. A. U. is an international subject
of conversation and discussion. From
'all parts of the world come dispatches
referring to his case. Even the South
has awakened to' the importance of the
affair. Also the section desires it known
that the inhabitants thereof are neither
slow nor asleep. The Charlotte, N. C,
Observer arises to remark that as far
back as July 18, 1912. that paper printed
a lengthy account of Thorpe's profes
sional baseball career in that section
of the country. For verification. It re
prints the following:
"Jim Thorpe, who, In the Olympic
games at Stockholm proved himself the
greatest all-round athlete In the world,
was once traded for Pete Boyle, now a
member of the Winston-Salem team in
the Carolina League. Boyle wa playing
with the Fayettevllle Highlanders, un
der Clancy, in 1310, the last year of the
Eastern Carolina League, and had
pitched fifteen games during the first
half of the season without losing a
single battle. Thorpe was playing for
Jim Connor, an old friend of Clancy's,
at Rocky Mount, and was not doing
much on the slab, but was keeping up
his stick work, which Is a way he has,
when a four-cornered deal, which start
led the tight little circuit, was an
nounced. Clancy had traded Peartree, a
light-hitting outfielder, for Schumann, a
veteran, who had led the league in bat
ting the year before, while Connor waj
to give him Thorpe for Boyle. The big,
silent Indian proved the very nwui

Cunningham earned his reputation as )
a halfback at Princeton. He was one j
of the best dropkickers In college and. .
on his graduation, he came back and
aided in the coaching. Finally, in 1911.
he practically handled the team by
himself ahd last y.ear was field coach,
having complete authority.

conceived the Idea of trying Thorpe at

chief proved a sensation at the bag
His great height and reach enabled him
to take almost anything without shift
ing his feet, his work was heady and

spite his mountainous size, was the
fittest man who ever played ball In
this section. He possesses tremendous
strength and many are the tales still
told of his prowess In these regions.
The longest hit ever made here was
his.

Agricultural College really displayed
good form against a formidable, team
ast night when ML St. Joseph's, three
weeks ago a decisive winner over the
Aggies, were humbled, 41 to 23. Tho
visitors' play was by no means bad,
but the victory of the Farmer five was
the result of a reversal of form which
made the achievement the more note
worthy. Therewere few flaws In the work of
the AgAt. Their passing.-basket throw

while the team, work of the winning
quint was all that could be expected.
Day, at guard, demonstrated wonderful
defensive skill and spoiled innumerablo
plays. He also made two difficult goals.
The Aggies' defense, though brilliant,
was not eclipsed by the performances
on the attack. The offense, built around
Morris and Cole, was much stronger
than at any time this year. These two
players had no difficulty In caging goats
and did so with pleasing dexterity.

Few- men who have been associated
with the horse racing game for a period
of nearly ten yaars have Keen smiled
upon by success In that comparatively
short time than Dr. J. S. Tyree. of
this city. He Is the owner of one of
tho most formidable and: perhaps the
best equipped racing stable In America,
located at the, old Bennlngs race track.
Included among his thoroughbreds are
such horses as Superstition, Astrologer,
Yprkahlre Boy. Robert Bradley, all of
the Star Shoot two-year-olds In
America, a number of fillies by McGee,
one of the foremost of American sires,
and three or four yearlings at John E
Madden's place at Hamburg, Ky. Dr.
Tyrpe's stable numbers about-thlrty in
all.-
An inslg'ht into the methods which
have brought Dr. Tyree success in the
racing world reveal Several remarkable
facts. Standing out. pre-eminently are
his. strict Ideas of. -true . sportsmanshlp
This alone has probably won htm pres
tige among horse nen although .supple
menting facts' bear repeating.
From a 'commercial, standpoint Dr.
Tyree has met with pronounced success.
He asserts that he? Is not in the racing
game for money, though he makes his
stable self-sustaining'' by applying- strict
business principles. Weekly accounts
are submitted by his manager and
everything In connection with the ron-
.tine of the business is carried out with
precision at all times. ,
Spare No Expense.
Xo expense Is spared in the maintflJn
ance pf the stables. Jt Is Dr. Tyree's
belief that be can get the best results
by spending necessary amounts which,
though sometimes large, eventually re
pay him.
Dr. Tyree consults freely with veterin
arians and often through the applica
tion of scientific, methods -ha's .been,
able to get at the bottom of eauine. ail
ments by bacteriological and chemical
tests which he conducts
personally,
Blood and serum cultures have often
'revealed., facts to httn which have en
abled "him 1q find the means of curing
an animal more "quickly. To these meth
ods he attributes a great deal of his
success.
At no time has there been anything in
.Dr. Tyree's career to spoil a clean sheet
in the racing game.. His reputation at
home and abroad .has never been ques
tioned and he has "vet to be called by
judges or jockey club to give explana
tion about anv race. None of his hors
es have ever been disqualified nor his
Jockeys reprimanded.
He has no secret to keep from the
public. The humblest and loftiest al
waytChave entree to the estimation m
which he 'Holds a -horse when sent to
the post. He regards the commission
form of betting as one'of the menaces
to the sport and advocates .its ellmlna-.
Hon If possible.
A current report that his stable was
for sale was' firmly denied. Fabulous
