Jim Thorpe is probably the greatest all j around athlete in "the United States ? j football player, runner, and weight j tosser principally, besides carrying an i A-l line of accessories ? but he never proved good enough as a Big Leaguer to warrant McOraw using him regularly.

"He's naturally a great athlete and a good ball leaver." said XtrGraw to me nne day last year in discussing Thorpe, 'but as Hugh it? K*-ogh. who was on the Chicago Tribune before he died, once sa<d: 'The heluvit is he ain't hlttin*." Thorpe. a man the master of every other branch of sport he entered, was naturally nettled because he could not wear the Big League spangles of a regu lar, anci I understand recently he even discussed oultting baseball for good and entering the oil business in Oklahoma City. McGraw was about ready to cut loose from him again. Then a week ago Kddie Rousch. who had bev-n playing the best ball of his i I Big League ilays and leading the Roils | at bat was torpedoed without warning j I and just limped into port.

After Jim j reached Cincinnati, I said to him: "Now you are going to be in there j every day so just K" along smoothly j ??th'd don't try to kill the pill. Play base ball as McGraw taught you." I believe tiie line Indian will make; good under n-irular treatment of a daily dosp of baseball. Ho deserves to, for no , man tries harder, and wo need hint to make good, because the lo.-s of P.ousch j was quite a set-back I'll admit that. I see the Braves broke .loose again verbally at the Polo grounds In a game with the (Hants, and Eddie l-'ltzpatrlck made remarks and gestures that -set him right out of the game and back half a hundred bucks. Stallfngs' dub j may not wear their watches next their j cuffs and they may be crude in (???? ir | M ethods, but they certainly bring thi J1 sugar through tie' Kate. To my mind, the Braves are the one gang In the . league today whoso scrappy spirit re- j setnbles that of the old Cubs. Of course, I don't maintain that all umpires should he insulted or that play ers should be permitted to make ges- |' tures which are vulgar. Bar that. Hut j ! fans certainly like to h?Mir the men rid- i itik' one another and also displaying a ! little spirit when the umpire calls a' bad o,ne. The Athletics were scrupulous adherents to discipline ? and lost money at the gate. The Braves made up their minds to ride the Athletics before the AVer Id's | Series In 1311 and let it be known they l would. Evers, Maranvllle.

After the series, i GftorKO Stalling* told me: "Oldrlng didn't know bis own name ! when lie was up at the plato there. I'll i bet he couldn't spit." "Yes." chipped in John Tv<?rs, "and so and so was not much better." The latter ball player is still In th? game ? therefore no mention of his name. I'd lay a bet today that if the Giants and Detroit Tigers met in a serlos with both Cobb and Herzog In tho harness, the Polo grounds wouldn't hold the crowds trying to break in.
