AKRON, O., May 1L To be an all around athletic requires more strength than to be a specialist in 6omo one thing, according to Jim Thorpe, the greatest of them all. Here's the Indian's code: Keep strong. It is strength that counts most. The best way to build strength is to run eight or ten miles every day. Running develops all the muscles and keeps the athlete feeling good. Don't try for records. If you beat the other fellows you win points for the team. That Is what counts. Practice less the things which you excel and more on those which you don't do so well. Be careful not to overspeclallze on one thing. Eat lots but stick to plain foods. An athlete has to eat to keep strength. Do everything in the spirit of .play ng a game not as work. When you! are playing you're having fun, and! that's when you are at your best. Distance runners don't last as long as other athletes. Tho strain is too great. A marathan runner has but one' good race in him In a year, and but1 two, possibly three, in a career- as an' "over hill and dale" runner. I The all-around athleto is better, qualified to coach than is a specialisL' His accomplishments fit him to in struct everything in the college cur riculum of sports. Coaching is about the only way tho all-'rounder can cash in on his stuff. Every year Thorpe receives scores' of offers for his services as a coach from the big schools of the country .j They want him in the east. He recent ly declined a flattering offer from the! Pacific Coast. I So far he has turned them all down. "I'm not ready to settle down and stay in one place," says Jim. "I know a coach has got to stick in one place and attend to his knitting if he succeeds. Some of these days I expect to accept one of those fool offers. I know I would like it. I'd rather bo in a track suit than a base- PIERCEY TWIRLS WIN FOR VERNON TIGERS SACRAMENTO, May 14. The Tig ers were easy winners over the Sena tors here yesterday, the count being! 7 to 3.

Jimmy Wilde, British flyweight champion, knocked out Battling Murray, of Phil adelphia, in the second round of a scheduled eight-round bout hero to night. 1 rf 1 UU U8o THINK TANK. JOPLIN "Rctl" Donovan, pitcher, secured from the Saskatoon club, is a bright spot on the Miners' teanii here. "Red" thinks when ho is on the slab and when ho isn't working thoro he thinks out plays from the bench. A cool Hummer cloth, la made from the fibre of pineapple leaves. ball uniform right now if I couli," he says. Thorpe has spent the last six years with the Now York Giants as an out fielder. Ho finished the 11)19 season with the Braves. McGraw was quick to see the ad vantage of having such a great draw ing card as the 1912 Olympic hero on his club and started the Indian through the McGraw school in 1913. All Thorpe know about baseball then was what he had learned from that un fortunate ?20-a-week job down in the North Carolina bush country, which provcd his undoing. Thorpe thinks McGraw is the great est manager in tho business "He bawls a fellow out pretty rough sometimes," says the Indian, "but he has to do it. The next day he forgets all about it and makes the player do tho same. "'There's one thing about McGraw, he won't stand for any outsider razz I lng him for keeping a player who is i going bad on the Giants' roster. When I McGraw gets through with tho dress ling down the outsider is sorry he sppke." I The Indian is now playing the sun i field for the Akron club in the Inter national league. He likes his job. He I didn't play regularly up there in the I big show. Now he's to play every day. ; Thorpe likes to play every day. It isn't the money he gets that keeps him i hi a baseball uniform. He has plenl of cash rolling in from his Oklahoma oil lands. And Tliorpe is hitting the ball at a" dizzy clip in the International. His percentage is well over tho .300 mark. , He has a reputation for murdering j southpaw pitching. j Tho other day at Reading, Pa., he nicked a right-hander for a circuit with the bases full. That pleased Dick Hob litzel, Jim's boss, mighty well. It also tickled Thorpe a lot. During tho afternoon double-header matinee, he thumped out five blows in all. Jim circles the bags at a 10-second clip. He hasn't slowed up. Speed is still the big asset of the great Indian.

Bartels, the young giant of Penn. Tho Kansan did not take a first dur ing the day. his card showing three seconds, a third and a fourth. He is not a star but an example of the all round athlete. His unusual strength is shown in his highly developed arms and legs.

Knell Is Sounded for Racing at .Frontier Park (By International News Service.) CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 14. Well founded reports in circulation hero in dicate that this season's nineteen-day running race programme at Frontier Park will mark the finish of the "pon-t ies" in Wyoming. This year's meet! will probably be run early in July, un-; der the auspices of the Cheyenne Thoroughbred Breeder's association. It is understood that the lease of tho Breede's association on the Frontier Park track expires with tho conclu sion of the 1920 program and much doubt is expressed that any effort will be made to renew the arrangement, owing to the poor patronage of the raco course tho past few seasons. Contrary to custom, It is planned to conduct the raco meeting this season previous to the great annual Frontier Days' celebration .probably from Sat; unlay, July 3, to Saturday, July 24. in elusive and the announcement that the frontier committee has agreed not to protest against the raco program lately preceding Frontier Days J3 be ing greeted with much criticism from some citizens, who believe that the re sult will not bo to the benefit of tho cliy's great annual Wild West show. Betting on tho races, it is pointed out in somo quarters, may drain the city of much money that would othor wiso go into tho coffers of the Fron tier Days' celebration, and it is' pre dicted that hundreds from nearby yearly renewal of the days of the plains will attend tho raco meeting this year, and as a result not bo in a position io "spend freely" at the Fron tier Days' dally program. Pari-mutuel machines will be in use at the raco course. oo FOUR DAYS BY SKI, TWO HOURS BY AERO (By International News Service.) NORTH PARK. May 14 J. H.

Locally Ogden has been without a team for a number of years and the live wires are out to again put the city to the fore in the national pas time. Ogden has had some rattling good ball clubs in the past and the club of 1920 will have to step to keep the pace set by the old-timers. How ever, Manager Frank Scott says that it can be done and that the game will come back with more pepper than has ever been administered here in other years. This year the state of Utah will have more organized leagues than has ever represented the state and in every nook and corner of the state the game is being revived. In Ogden the bugs awoke one morning and before noon of the same day tho plans for a classy team were formulated. j Pacific Coast League BEES WIN 11 STRAIGHT CUTEST j Lefty Leverenz Hurls Salt Salt Lake to Another Win; Score 6 to 3.
