Jan.

28. Although America still leads all nations as a point winner at the Olympic games, notwithstanding the confessed professionalism of James Thorpe and the consequent loss of points made by him, the American Olympic committee faces the unhappy duty of returning to Sweden the handsome trophies awarded the Indian, while the Amateur Athletic Union must revise all Its records. Sharidan Now Champ By virtue of these changed, Martin Sheridan, a New York policeman, automatically resumes his title as champion all-round athlete of America. Thorpe took the honor from him while competing in New York last Labor Day. All his recards must go, however, and the trophies for first place that day will be awarded to J.

Bredemus, a Princeton athlete, who finished second. Sheridan said today that he found no comfort in a title restored under such circumstances. Like ail amateur athletes, he feels keenly the blow that Thorpe's playing of professional baseball brought about. The Amateur Athletic Union regards it as an object lesson to all amateurs and it is not improbable that others will suffer. In his letters of yesterday, Thorpe aald other college men were playing 'baseball for money on the team of which he was a member and it was said that an investigation of these charges will be made.

Just when the Indian's Olympic trophies will be shipped to Sweden was not announced today. They are at Carlisle, but probably will be turned over to the American Olympic committee within a few days, together with hundreds of other prizes he has won. The confession of James Thorpe, the "world's greatest athlete," that he played baseball as a professional during the summer of 1909 and 1910, will result in a sweeping investigation of the standing of several other "college men of the north," who Thorpe says played in the same league. James E. Sullivan, secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, so announced today.

Mr. Sullivan said he has written Thorpe asking him to name the men thus referred to in his confession. "As soon as we receive Thorpe's reply Mr. Sullivan said, "we will begin an Inquiry into the records, of the other men. If any of them are holders of Amateur Athletic Union records or prizes, we would have no choice but to declare the records off and order the prizes returned.

We would, of course, send them to the men who were second in the respective events if they were established as amateurs. 1 sent a cablegram today to Christian Helstrom, the Olympic commissioner at Stockholm, apprising him of Thorpe's confession and notifying him that the trophies would be returned." The tokens of Thorpe's glory on the Olympic field which are thus stripped from him and will be returned to Sweden, are a bronze bust of the king of Sweden which Thorpe won with tne pentathlon and the deathlon cup. a magnificent model of an ancient Viking: ship. Great Tragedy of Athletics "Thorpe's case is at once one of the greatest tragedies and marvels of amateur athletics," Mr. Sullivan said.

it seems incredible that he should have played for two years as a professional and that no one has arisen tilt this late day to say so. Of all the thousands of persons who saw him play, all of the sporting writers in the city where he played, and of all the stockholders in the baseball league where he played, it is passing strange there was not one person to say berore this time that he was a professional." The snarl which the board of governors. of the Amateur Athletic Union will be called upon to of Thorpe's professionalism appears today to be less cm, at first thought. Mr. Sullivan said that the Indian had participated in very few events conducted under the union's rules and that while the Indian had won many prizes and estab May Turn to CARLISLE, Jan.

28. James Thorpe, champion athlete, said his fondness and fitness for athletics will probably result In making baseball his profession since participation in all forms of amateur athletics Is now denied him. He has not yet signed with any team although numerous offers have been made him since last summer. He received sympathy rather than censure here. He has been popular while at the Indian school and has not displayed professional spirit.

May Retain Titles STOCKHOLM, Jan. 28. Swedish newspapers, commenting on the disclosure that James Thorpe was a professional athlete when he participa'ed in the Olympic games, held there last summer, commended the honesty displayed by the Americans in making the fact known. Leading authorities In the field of sports express the opinion that Thorpe is entitled to retain the prizes he won in the pentathlon and decathlon, as his statuts as an amateur have been raised too late. Hedges Wants.

Him ST. LOUIS, Jan. 28. Colonel Robert L. Hedges, president of the St.

Louis American League Club, said tonight he was making efforts to obtain the services of James Thorpe, who has announced he may play professional baseball. If Hedges obtains Thorpe he will have two former Carlisle stars. WILL SOD DIAMOND FOR CUBS TRAINING TODAY Infield Has Been Rebuilt and Grade Raised Sod Will Be Laid Today And Tomorrow The final stretch of the work in preparing a first class diamond for the Cubs to train on will be entered this morning when a large squad of men will begin laying the cut sod over the diamond which has been built up by Chas. Kuhn. Mr.

Kuhn has been here for some time rushing the work and is greatly relieved that it Is so near finished. After the diamond has been completed, Mr. Kuhn will begin work on the rest of the field and will lay out two more diamonds for practice purposes and fixing up eight to ten pitchers' slabs and a sliding path. The two diamonds will not be finished affairs, but merely the present grade rolled till it presents a level and even bounding surface. This and the pitchers' slabs has been left off until, the last, for as Mr.

Kuhn says, the regular diamond is a positive necessity while the others can be held off for a few days. Mr. Kuhn anticipates no trouble In having the grounds in tip top shape by the fifteenth, in fact he says that with proper weather conditions that he will have one of the fastest diamonds in the South ready by that time, and to one who saw the diamond on the first of the year this will seem almost remarkable, and it is a job.

Perhaps the most encompassing question relating to the affair is whether Thorpe will prove a "true amateur" by refusing the numerous professional offers, which are bound to come, and take advantage of the Amateur Athlet-is Union rule vwhich allows a man to be re-instated in amateur circles after one year's abstalnance from professional contests, upon application to the Xational Committee? If Thorpe does this he-1 will be in my sight as much an amateur as ever notwithstanding all citicisms to the Contrary. NORTH CAROLINA IS FOR DIRECT ELECTION PLAN This May Have Deciding Fate of Measure to Amend Constitution Providing' Direct Election WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Of deer significance, because of its bearing upon the probable fate of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of Senators by the people is the fact reported to the State Department officially today that the legislature of North Carolina had given its approval to the proposition. It had been freely predicted that the Southern States unanimously would reject the proposed amendment because of its implied extension of federal authority over state elections.

The action of South Carolina makes a list of six states so far favorably recorded on. the proposition, the other four Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York, Michigan and Arizona.

28 Although under the ban of suspension from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, word comes from the University of Mississippi that the athletic association has no notion of abandoning either football or baseball during the coming year. On the contrary arrangements are being made for games with institutions not members of the S. I. A. A.

A contract has been made for a football game with the University of Arkansas, and efforts will be made to secure games with Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Baylor university with the usual early season games with prep schools. Equal activity is being shown in baseball matters, and the athletic leaders declare that they can get along without the S. I. A. perhaps better than that organization can get along without "Ole Miss." No effort will be made to have the ban lifted, and officers of the athletic association are venturing the prediction that before the next football season opens some of the institutions that voted for the suspension of "Ole Miss" will have voluntarily withdrawn from the S.

According to the player in question, who, for obvious reasons, asked that his Identity be kept secret, the proposition has met with the favorable approval of several athletic authorities before whom it was outlined.

Bartow may not able to put out classy" basket all teams, but they do produce some mighty pretty girls, and these savm girls Burely know how to fix up a good time. citia thincr that imDressed me at Bar tow was, that while th were beaten, the girls offered no ridiculous excuses. They took their medicine in e. most proper manner and admitted that thsy were outplayed. Yes, gantlemen, its hats oft to them, for they are a bunch of game girls.

The Summerlin six has the materif for a good team, two good guards and good Jumping center and a fair running center. Their weakness is at forwari where the girls can shoot if they could catch the ball, but they ur short thai thev seldom got the ohance.
