this conclusion as reasonably farfetched pardon being asked for the paradox still we must be willing to render unto Caeser the things which are Caeser' and If Mr Nero really discovered the game which la to make James Thorpe original American famous we can forgive his musical ambition and even the destruction of Roma 1 We right now refer to these seme learned individuals the problem of establishing a direct Una between Nero and Thorpe It shouldn't be such a hard job for If ws bb6 rightly Informed by tbe correspondents James Thorpe Is much given to fiddling and Is preparing for the endurance

cry from tho backlota of the days when we were yonng to tho twentieth century training camp The most serious injury in tho olden days was a stone bruise caused as some will recall by too sudden contact with a hard substance The curs was to keep on at It until tho pain ceased Now no regular training camp can be established without tho aid of physicians masseur dentist bonesetters and experts of various klnda The ones lacking aye a veterinarian who might be able to look after charleyhorse and an oculist who might bo able to furnish eyes with hits In them If tbs reports from the front read true most of the camps where the 1 ball players have foregathered look more like a modern hospital than a plage of preparation for a season of sport However since one man may spoil a $30000 split by missing on fly ball Mr Snodgrass please answer it may not be beyond reason to spend all of the money and time now given for the preliminary work provided a guarantee is given that no $30000 misses wlU occur They are paying Jim Thorpe quite a considerable-salary In New York and yet bo will probably do nothing more than take somebody's place on ths bases during a close game where his speed may of may not help out Jimmie never needed a doctor yet Down In North Carolina where ho once played baseball they say he needs most a keepiff -Still Thorpe is to get Just exactly the same medicine as the rest
