'Commissioner -for Baseball
Suspends Seattle Player.
SECRET DEAL IS CAUSE
Alleged Agreement With Klepper
of Portland Club Is Basis
Sentence Imposed.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 18. (Spe
cial.) Bill Kenworthy. ex-manager
of the Seattle ball club, has been sus
pended from organized ball by Judge
Landis. baseball commissioner. This
news was learned today, when the
president of the coast league, William
H. McCarthy, announced the decision
of the jurist. '
Judge Landis' telegram to President
McCarthy was as follows:
"Kenworthy has been placed on the
ineligible list for refusing to furnish
evidence in respect to a matter under
consideration."
It is understood that "matter under
consideration" was Kenworthy's al
leged secret agreement with Klepper.
Kenworthy, in entering into a secret
fgreement, broke the law of base
ball, which prohibits considerations
outside those quoted In regular con
tracts. CommlKHloner Not Advised.
Then, after spilling the beans that
he had a secret agreement, Ken
worthy was up against the necessity
of telling Judge Landis about it,
which he did not do. Hence the sen
tence now handed him by the jurist.
The barring of Kenworthy not only
hurts the Duke, but the Seattle club
as well. Kenworthy, with his hit
ting power and energy, is a mighty
valuable man, and even if Seattle
could not have used him he could
have been used for trading purposes.
The Duke would have brought, either
by sale or in trade, value to Seattle
to offset his loss.
Whether Judge Landis' decision is
final has not been learned. It is pos
sible that the commissioner will let
the Duke down easy. It may be that
the suspension will be lifted before
the ball season opens.
President Boldt Silent.
President Boldt of the Indians had
nothing o say when asked about the
matter tonight, although he admit
ted that he hoped Kenworthy would
not be lost to the team. It is believed
that an agreement for the trading of
Kenworthy. to Portland had just
about been reached when the tele
gram from Judge Landis interfered.
Kenworthy Is in Seattle, as in Klep
per, but neither could be reached to
night. LEAGUE PRESIDENT ADVISED
Commissioner Landis Telegraphs
Notice of Kenworthy Action.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18. Tele
graphic notification from Kenesaw
M. Landis, national commissioner of
baseball, of the indefinite suspension
from organized ball of Bill Kenwor-
' thy, ex-manager of the Seattle Coast
league club, has been received by W.
H. McCarthy of San Francisco, presi
dent of the.Paciffc Coast league.
Kenworthy is said to have re
marked that his job as manager
would never be in jeopardy because
of an agreement, with the club. Judge
Landis called on Kenworthy for an
explanation of the supposed agree
ment, which Is held to contravene the
rules of organized baseball. Kenwor
thy refused to explain further. His
suspension resulted.

PEN STUDIES OF FAMOUS INDIAN, DRAWN FROM LIFE
M'CREDIE FILLS INDIANS
WITH PROMISING YOUNGSTERS
Individual Review of Seattle Players for Coming Season Shows Many
Men of High Class. .
SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 18. (Spe
cial.) When Walter McCredie
was losing ball games with Port
land bis defenders said It was not
Walter's fault. They declared Man
ager Mack was not permitted to buy
the players with wh'ch. to build a
winning club.
Last fall McCredie came to Seattle
and President Jim Boldt told him to
gei a ball club that would win. Mack-
eni ahead and the names now on
the
Indian roster are of his own
choosing.
McCreu'.f, known as a developer of
youngsters, will have a wealth of ma
terial wth which to experiment this
sumnv.r, for the squad will Include
half a dozen highly toutea young
sters. At the same time there are
several veterans who already Have
shown what they can do, and a tew
more who are question marks at this
stage of the campaign. .
Glancing at the Indian roster, one
comes to the following conclusions:
Catching staff, none better. Jack
Adams, smart receiver; Tub Spencer,
swell hitter, and last but far from
least, Frank Tobin, one of the best
prospects in the minors.
Pitchers Not so good, but not so
bad. Jacobs, as good as any in the
league; Harry Gardner and Hunky
Schorr are three certainties?. Vean
Gregg, the great southpaw of a few
years ago, may or may not. McCredie
says, "Don't worry about that big
guy." Flnneran, who won the pen
nant for Vernon three seasons ago;
Stubby Mack, Joe Dailey, Berger,
from te Western 'league, and a flock
of youngsters are te others.
Infield uncertain as yet.; Rod Mur
phy at first base, good enough for
anybody. Manuel Cueto, Wisterzil and
Patterson third, makes the hot corner
look fairly safe. Bill Stumpf at short
is only Bill Stumpf. Second base not
yet filled, with Connolly, a Western
league phenom, looking like a find.
McCredie says he will cover, second
"like a darn "
Outfield, high class. Brick Eldred,

tion Schulte, the old Cub star, are
the gardeners. Clark Griffiths thinks
so well of Goebel that he is offering
half a dozen men 'in a lump for him.
McCredie says no.
There is one young gent that Mc
Credie says will dance through the
leasrue. He's Spencer Adams of Salt
Lake. Seven scouts were after hi

big leagues. Eddie Herr says he is
the best prospect he has seen in two

Northwest boxing fans were no
doubt disappointed when Dave Shade
failed to win over Jack Brltton Fri
day night. Ring followers of Seattle
and Portland know how good a gent
this young Shade person is, and the
fact that ho drew the world's, cham
pion in a 15-round contest proves
that his draw with Britton In Port
land was no fluke.
When the Shade brothers embarked
for eastern , shores everybody was
talking Billy. Now the bugs have
forgotten all about William. It's
young Dave who is the sensation of
the eastern ring.

Abie, Gordon, the little Portland
Hebrew, will get a chance to test the
ability of Frankie Pantley, a bantam

the local 118-pound ranks. Gordon
will box Pantley in the semi-windup
of the next show.
Morgan. Jones, the, Tacoma light
weight, will top the card with. Joe
Harrahan as his opponent. Both boys
are rooters and it should be an inter

Washington basketball followers
are draping crepe over the dormi
tories. Their joy and pride, the
Huskie five, went to defeat at Mos

ference race.
It is rather hard on the Seattle
varsity because Washington will have
played twice as many games as
'""', ana prooaDiy is me Detter or
the two.
out tne vanaais are
demons on their own floor and they
slipped over two victories by narrow
margins. Unfortunately, Washington
has no return games scheduled with

Washington fans are takine ifhard
because their team lost the champion-
Ship last year by a narrow margin.
California nosed them out in the
south.
The hockey race is closer than
Fords on a Detroit boulevard. Seattle,
Victoria and Vancouver are all
bunched, with Seattle and Vancouver
favored for the finals. The two lead

to decide the championship, after

JIM THORPE HELD GREATEST
ATHLETE IN MODERN TIMES
Inffian Now Thirty-seven Years Old and Playing Football Professionally
With Cleveland Tigers One More .Season to Be Played.
BY ROBERT EDGREN. I
JIM THORPE is now 31 years oia
and playing football , with the
Cleveland Tigers. He plans to
p:ay one season more, and then retire
to ranching In California, . like
Chafte, Overall, Meyers,. Papke, Jef
fries, Morris and many other noted
professional athletes, he is "there al
ready, so to speak, in a baseball way,
for he is to Play this coming season
with Portlana of the Pacifio Coast
league, which bought his release
from Toledo.
Thorpe's retirement isn't coming
about because of any falling off in
his amazing athletic ability. He is
still as great a football player as
when he starred on the Carlisle In
dian team. But he-is weary of pro
fessional sport.
The Indian has long been the
greatest all-round athlete ever de
veloped in America, which is to say
he is the greatest athlete of modern
times.
He could do anything in the ath
letic line, v
Glenn Warner Coach. .
Before government 'economy' de
prived the Indians of Carlisle, the
ereat Indian school, Carlisle had a
f:ne football team. For years the In
dians met the best of the big col
leges, and usually they won. They
were fast, shifty, headlong, tricky,
and always fought their gridiron bat
tles out to the last minute of play.
The old style of football was tn vogue
then, all line bucking and end run
ning. In present day open play the In
dians would have been almost un
beatable because of their speed and
sureness of foot and their accuracy
in kicking and handling the ball.
Among the Indian players whose
names will still be remembered by
old time fans were Hudsop, Belanti,
Mont Pleasant, Welch, Johnspn, Sen
eca, Houser, Guyon, Metoxen, Whee
lock and Bemls Pierce. Glenn Warner
was coach and became famous with
his Indian teams.
But greatest and most famous of
all was Jim Thorpe, halfback, captain
in 1912, and unanimously selected as
ail-American.
Thorpe was the most sensational
football player in the country when
on the Carlisle team. Six feet tall,
powerfully but lightly built and
weighing about 180 pounds, Thorpe
combined speed and quick brain with
great aggressiveness and a na'tural
knack of handling himself and the
LaLl. He was versatile. As a drop
kicker and a placement kicker he had
no equal.. In one game against an
eastern college he kicked four field
goals in four attempts.
Thorpe Score AH Points. ,
Playing against West Point, Thorpe
scored all the Carlisle points him
self, making touchdowns, field goals,
placement kicks;- goal kicks and scor
ing by every known method except
by a "safety." He was a strong and
fast runner and is still.
When Thorpe had won all possible
football honors he gave part of his
time to other sports. As a track ath
lete he put over a number oh, very
fine performances. Going to Sweden
to the Olympic games of 1912, he won
the Decathlon, 800 points ahead' of
his nearest competitor, H. Wetslander
of Sweden. Tt was after these games
that Thorpe was declared a profes
sional because he had played "semi
pro" baseball under an assumed name
in some of the southern states. His
prizes were given to Weislander.
Thorpe also won the American all
around championship. At this time,
Martin Sheridan, one of our greatest
all-around champions, told me that
in his estimation Thorpe' was the
best all-around athlete In the world,
bar none. There. was some question
wnemer xnorpe or sneridan was
supreme on track and field, but thev
never met, because of Thorpe's re
tirement into the professional class.
Thorpe could clear 6 feet 4'i inches
in the running high jump, run 100
yards in 10 seconds flat, pole vault
over 11 feet, put the shot 44 feet 9
inches, cover 22 feet in the running
broad jump, and 155 feet with the
javelin, and run a fairly fast mile.
Many Storiesi Told.
They told many stories about the
big Indian on . that Olympic trip to
Stockholm. The king of Sweden,
curious to see a real Indian at close
quarters, sent Thorpe an invitation to
dine with him at the palace.
Thorpe declined the invitation, say
ing that he wanted to go to bed early.
On leaving Sweden, Jim said the
Swedes were fine sportsmen, and he
had enjoyed the trip, but he was
anxious to get back to an American
bath tub.
Like many Indian athletes, and
other athletes for that, matter, Jim
had a wild streak that came out now
and then. This was in the days
when firewater wasn't quite so
scarce In the land. Glenn Warner,
the coach, was the only man on earth
Thorpe held in awe. vu one occasion.
i
i
RTTIN6 -THG
16 pound iucrr
44 FT.. 9 (H.
when Carlisle and W. and J. had
played a no-score game, Thorpe dis
appeared. Glenn Warner hunted for
him, until he was found In a cafe, and
then bumped Jim's head on the mar
ble floor until he promised to go
back into strict training.
Thorpe Center of Scramble.
After leaving amateur . athletio
ranks, Thorpe became the center of a
scramble for professional baseball.
John McGraw, manager of the Giants,
grabbed him at a fancy figure and
tried to make him as great a star
In baseball as he had been in other
sports.
On the day Thorpe signei with
McGraw, several baseall writers
thought it would make a good story
If the big Indian was introduced to a
quart of whisky and went on a tear.
But Glenn Warner nipped the plot by
sticking close to Thorpe for a week
and shooing the practical jokers off.
In all his baseball days Thorpe stuck
to training and did lis best to make
good. He played a fair game and
became a - heavy hitter, but never
reached the height of his athletio
form on the diamond, probably be
cause he didn't begin playing base
ball early enough in his career as an
athlete. After several years he took
up football again, for recreation and
revenue.
Jim Thorpe never cared for the
applause of the crowd, or if he did
care for it, Indlanl'ke, never let his
feelings show. He is married and has
two little girls. As a profsssiona.
athlete James earned about $100,000,
but his liberal foabtts kept him from
saving much of it.

recommending that the duties of en
forcing the game laws be taken over
by the sheriffs in the various coun
ties. This method, it Is asserted,
