When ha first broke In bl time baseball with tha New York Giants In lilt, after bis sus . pension by tha Amateur Athletic Union, he was miserably weak on curve balls. Now,, however, ha has switched from a .rlsht-handed hitter to a portslds batter, and ho whales tha tar out of the ball as his averages of the past several seasons will show. ' Last ysr with the Toledo club Thorpe hura; up an average of .1(8 In 132 games. . llnlnf out 111 hits, which drove In 111 runs, which Is quite a record. His bits totaled 270 bases.

' Thorpe Is fast on the bases and while nnt an outfielder of high calibre, his hit ting has always stamped him as one of the most dangerous men who ever stepped; up to a plate. Thorpe Is no spring chicken, but he Is Mill a wonderful athlete aa hie playlng- in profesatonal football last season in (Heated. He was torn In Oklahoma City In UK and first sprang Into athletic prominence by "his wonderful football playing at the Carlisle Indian school ; under T'-rnr.

Thorpe played professional baseball under an assumed name In tha East tern Carolina league aa far back sa 1909, but his acts as professional were not dls- ' covered until after the Olympic games. Thorpe remained with the Giants In IS 11 and 114. Tha two following- sea eons he played with the Jersey City, ' HarrUburg, Cincinnati and Milwaukee clubs.

The American XI league schedule is an unromantic document, resembling a suburban time table or the sliding scale of the typo graphical union. But when read with expert under standing; this 1923 program reveala much more than mere statistics. For Instance, the schedule shows that the Yankees will have Babe. Ruth back in the lineup for their first game on the home lot . The Yanks open the season on tour and. their first home game is a contest with the Browns, April 20, when Ruth's suspension will expire. On that day, therefore, with Babe and his fellow Offenders, Bob Meusel and BUI Piercey back in the game, the Yanks may ex pect a holiday crowd big enough to pack the entire park. Of course it is still possible that Judge Landls will reinstate Ruth before the expiration of his banishment. Ben Leonard Big Favorite Over Iiansas By TJasMa Rssyea . (Copyrixht. 122 j by TJBtrafaU tserriee) JVJKW YORK. Feib. 10. Tonight Benny 1 1 Jaonard, th sleek looking lad from the Bronx, defends his title or light weight champion of the world against Rocky Kansas well called rocky of Buffalo. . Leonard, oa form, should be a 1 to 10 shot- ' He may not stop Kansas, but he onght to win on points by as far as from here to Niagara Falls. It is the skilled i mechanic against the laborious Kansas j rugged toller in the pugilistic pits meets a first grade artist. Awkward, rude of fistic manner, the man from Buffalo steps into the Queens- berry parlor to encounter a suave chap, polished with the refinement of fistic knowledge and gifted above ordinary mortals with ring style and class. HAS THE CLASS In all fields of athletic endeavor, class generally tells. Leonard has the class. Clever, cool, courageous, experienced, far above the Buffalo boy in the Queensber- ry classification, i He is tne better ngnter. He is ready, When you have the best fighter ready. the result seems almost a foregone con- clusion. It is possible, of course .for Kansas to win. It was possible for Georges Carpentier to win at Jersey City last summer. Any time a fighter crawls into the ring it is possible for turn to win against any other man in the world. But in the case of Kansas, as in Car- rentier's-case,, the element of possibility seems quite remote. His victory would appear a puguistlq miracle. ERNE SHOWED HIM Kansas is a blocky, rough, tough Ital Ian. His right name is Rocco ' Tozzo. Why they ever changed this picturesque cognomen for Rocky Kansas, we do not know. Hia people icamo from Sicily. Rocky got his first ring teachings from Frank Erue. once the champion light weight and one of the greatest boxers the ring has ever known. Somewhere along: the line Kansas lost whatever idea Of cleverness that may have been im planted In hia mind by association with t-rne. i He rushes at an opponent wide ODen But as he moves he chucks ahead of him a wicked left-hand rip, aimed at the body of his opponent He is stout of body and stout of heart, an eager, earnest doer in the ring, but still lacking the sparkle that is Leonard's inheritance and which is called class. j Leonard is probably not as good as he waa a couple of years ago. In fact, there is quite an element of mystery as to his real ability, especially a",135 pounds. Kansas' main chance is the possibility of ;the champion having gone farther back than anyone suspects.

New Mat Rules Give Fans.Treat; Beeson Takes Main Bout England Bidding For J. Dempsey to Meet Carpentier By F airplay -. (Cepyricht. 1922. by The Joans!) TVTEW YORK, Feb. JO.- Word went LH about Broadway haunts today that a .definite offer had been received xrom an English syndicate of $200,000 for a Demnsey-Caroentler;; fight. ; Insiders Ijnew It was coming, and while Kearos is close-mownea. no nas oeen wj"u close to the cable for the past 24 hours. This sum Is equal to that which-William A. Brady has offered for a Dempsey- Wills fight la England, but Kearns, for obvious, reasons, prefers Carpentier. Kearns. by tha way, Is greatly Interest ed in the crack California Jlghtweight, Jimmy Duffy, who - It was said today, will be matched "to-fight Lew Tendler, the fast Philadelphia southpaw, at the Madison Square Garden on February 24. Tendlers last New Tork performance was satisfactory neither to himself nor his friends. Joe Benjamin of San Fran cisco will have another try for fame that nlsrht, having been matched to -meet Clonic Tait of Canada. Hatchet Is Buried X wi at Colonels at Peace (By TMrenjal fiorrk) TVTEW TORK, Feb. 10. Peace be JLI tween Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and Colonel T. I Huston, part owner of the New Tork Tanks, was one of the results of the scheduled meeting of the league held in Washington, said baseball folks, who returned here Thursday. Colonel . Huston re- mained in Washington. He was said to be in Ban Johnson's company : when the New Tork delegation left the capitol city, v -.-- .- Harry Fraxee, owner of the Bos ton Red Sox, was not Included in . the peace circle. ; Nor was Colonel Jake Ruppert, Huston's partner, on the ownership of the Tanks, but Ruppert was never as hotly involved against -Johnson as were his associates. . - The break In the American league came, during the 1919 season when President Johnson suspended Carl Mays for-jumping the Boston team.

Allen or Heston are on the line-up I for. HI; Corner and Madsen for 158, i ana tunson or Ami tor the 175. Much more is apparent to the apparent reader. It tells that Connie Mack, the parsimonious pilot of the hopeless Ath-. letlcs, has been given two rich engage ments with the ' Yanks this season, the Memorial day game at the Polo Grounds and the Fourth ot July game in Phila delphia, It Is said that in 1921 the Ath letics were enriched to the figure of 160,000 by holiday engagements with the Yanks, who are always good for a full house on a holiday. Big Amateur Ring Card to Be Staged Tonight in Armory rTVHE new White rules governing- wrest X ling matches proved satisfactory in Thursday night s mat tourney in the La bor temple. In fact, the rules made the card, for the erapplera were forced to extend themselves throughout. The rules call for rounds, rather than long-drawn out affairs to a falL "Trolley" Besson can enter the I-Told- You-So" front row, too. "Trolley" lost the first fall to "Moose" Norbeck In minutes and 25 seconds, but he came back, as he predicted, and threw his big opponent in 3 minutes and 50 seconds. and the last time in 40 seconds. The Beeson-Norbeck affair was billed as the main event, but the best bout of the evening was the Eli Iaux-Paul Kenny engagement. These .two middleweighta went at each other from gong to gong. Oscar Butler was to have met Lux, but he was taken ill and Kenny- agreed to take Butler's place. The lone fall of the Lux-Kenny match came in the third 15-minute round, when Lax pinned his opponent in 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Lux picked up Kenny and started swinging him in midair un til Paul saw the spectators mingled asl one, and just as it looked to him that the roof was about to meet the floor he dropped dizzily to the mat. Before he could realize that he was in a wrestling match, and not taking part in some trick airplane stunts, Kenny found himself tied in a knot and -he had to give up. Lux had attempted the same thing in the round previous, but he dropped Ken ny before'the full effects of the swinging had. made him subconscious. At any rate, the fans were given a thrill, and they enjoyed it immensely. Lux' was given the decision by virtue of scoring the one fall. In the preliminaries John Videhoff won on aggressiveness over Jimmy Anderson, and Red Nutting won the decision over Jack Larry, neither winner being able to secure a fall. Promoter Ad Garlock ref- ereed the two main bouts, with F. T. Merrill and M. C. Hill as the timekeepers. Eickard is not thinking much about the heavyweight title Just now, but he Is greatly interested in Une light-heavy' weight situation. Now that ho has Har ry Greb and Tommy Gibbons hooked up for the middle of March,. he says that this battle will lead to a meeting between Gene Tunney, present holder of the title. and the winner of the Greb-Gibbons setto. ' - Greb and Gibbons, by the way, met at Dempsey's training quarters at Atlantic City last spring. Harry smiled in recog nltion. but Tommy's eyes shifted else where. "Guess he's forgotten me," smiled Greb, "although I don't see why, since beat him six months ago in the ring." Babe Herman of the Wfest eoast and Pepper Martin of the South are two oth er fixtures for the February 24 card that Tex Rickard is compiling. It should be a great Jack Kearns night TTMPIRE GETS COSTKACI9 San Francisco, Feb. 10. William Mc Carthy, president of the Coast league. has forwarded contracts to the following umpires: Pearl Casey, Jimmy Toman a, Jack Reardon, Edward Finney, William Byron, H. H. McGrew, Mai Eason and Jack Carroll. Jack Phyle resigned his position last fall and no contract has been offered Jake Croter. . Syracuse has scheduled 15 games its Lacrosse players this year For the first time since Babe Ruth began absorbing all the glory of the Yanks there has come an actual wail from a fellow member of the team. Chick Fewstcr, the Tanks' utility outfielder, visiting the Washington meeting of the magnates, complained that the club pays Ruth so much that other players have trouble obtaining the. salary they de serve. Fewster Is the lad who knocked a homer In the last year's world series while substituting for Ruth. He hasn't signed up yet, being dissatisfied with the price offered. E.

Atl teams are members of the Oregon State High School association, but the outcome ot the contests will not have any bearing oa the championship, aa tha squads are m separata districts and the matches are more for tha idea or promoting basket ball here rather than to settle titles. 64TF BASKETBALL fans who saw the X university of Idaho team in action against us two weeks ago figure they saw a fast combination," said J. Ray mond Toomey, manager of the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club hoopers, "they had better turn out for next Satur day's game In the Winged M gymna slum. The Walla Walla Young Men's Christian Association will form the op position, and it is reported that -the vis itors make up the fastest and strongest quintet on the Pacific coast. "That claim can be substantiated tn that Idaho was defeated by Walla Walla in the Whitman college gymnasium Washington State college also was de feated and Whitman college was given two wallopings on the. home floor. The Spokane Amateur Athletic club suffered twice and the Third "Marne" Division aggregation was also beaten. "The Walla Walla team holds the Pa cific Northwest association of the Ama' teur Athletic Union championship, hav ing won the title at the annual tourna ment in Seattle last spring. The visitors have two of the best shooters ever Been in this part of the country in Dement at center and Hunter as a forward or running guard. We art making plans for a recordbreaker attendance, because lit will be many a day before followers of the hoop game will have another oppor tunlty to see such a strong, combination working at top speed. We're not making any predictions as to the outcome, but the Multnomah players are going to spring something on the Walla Walla outfit when they appear on our floor." Arrangements are being made by Law rence G. Smyth, manager of the club In termediates, to have his squad meet an other Portland team as a .preliminary contest. He is finding it difficult to se cure strong: competition now. inasmuch as the Intermediates haven't been de feated so far, and they have won six straight matches.
