WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1917 JIM THORPE SHOWING SIGNS OF ABILITY POLAND'S FATE RESTS ON WAR ALTHOUGH IN OPPOSING ARMIKS, POLES LOOK rXKWAIU TO UL TIMATE UNION AS AN INDE PENDENT NATION. Famous Athlete Displays Hitting Strength and Solves Mystery of the Curve Ball. By H. C. Hamilton, . (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, May 16 Jim Thorpe, the most famous athlete of them all, seems about ready to take his place as the first great all around athlete who ever has become a major league baseball player of ability. Jim is hitting theiq'-fa'r and wide for the Reds, in the absence of Eddie Rousch and, although he hasn't yet actually made good, he has a better chance of becoming a regular than he ever did while filling a Giant uniform. John McGrw, leader of the Giants, always : has predicted that Thorpe would be-' a star if given the oppor tunity to play -every day. All he needed, McGcaw contended, was maj or league experience. He believed firmly that a man who could do such amazing things In other. com petition could learn to hit and play the outfield. Thorpe-', he been' picked out as a "sucker for a. curve ball," of which there are an amazing number draw ing pay in the majors. Pitchers have simply' curve-balled him out of a job with the Giants. ' He couldn't hit consequently be ' couldn't play. Thorpe never really played ball before he became a member of the Nw York team in 1913. He had played professional baseball and had taken part in some college games, but his experience was sadly limited until he came under the eye of Mc Graw. His 1913 batting average was .143, , but he took part in only 19 games. The next year he was in 30 games and batted .194. Seventeen games the following year gave him a mark of .231. Thorpe begged to be sent to some minor league. .club so he could get experience after these poor avrages were given: him and his appeal was heeded. McGraw sent him to Jer sey City which club subsequently turned him over to Harrisburg. In 1916 be was sent to Milwaukee, where he batted .274 for the season, a record which proved he was be ginning to hit the kinky pitching. At Cincinnati be has been given a chance to show what he really . can ao witn major league curve balls, and he has, been making good. By Lowell Mellett, (United Press SUIT Correspondent.) LONDON, May 16. The ancient kingdom of Poland Just now presents the attentive attitude of the mouse that waits to see which way the cat will jump. It might be possible to express the situation In a more pleasant way, but the expression is that of Dr. Leon Litwinski, spokesman tor the Poles irf London. Poland, first caught In the mangle of the Russian advance and German retreat, probably , has suffered as greatly as any country of Europe, not including Belgium or Serbia. A million and a half of her sons have been' enrolled as bel ligerents, 900.000 in the Russian armies and 600,000 in the German and Austrian' armies. But Poland's position In present Weltpolltik is that of desperate neu trality. Both Germany and Russia have promised her much. Poland wants to cash one of those promises. Of the two, Russia offers the more complete independence. But there is this drawback, Dr. Litwinski explained. Russia is promising In dependence to territory occupied by German troops. And there is more or less of a string attached to Germany's pro posal, which is a completely reunited Poland with Its own local govern ment, under the wing of the German empire, somewhat like the position of Bavaria.- The string is the un relenting emphasis on the suggestion that Poland raise an army of her own against Russia. a rcunueu r-oiana would be a great betterment of our before-the- war situation," said Dr. Litwinski. but what we want, of course. Is both a reunited and an independent country. We have been Immensely encouraged by the proclamation of the new Russian government, though previous Russian assurances, natur ally, did not impress us very much." It was this way," said Dr. Swett ocbowskl, "There's been a lot of gen eralizing about., small nations, and there s been some mention of Bel gium and Serbia, but beyond that nobody has ever gone. The case of Poland has been handled very gin gerly. There has been the fear, per haps, that it might .be necessary to do a lot of compromising when It came to settle Poland's case. Presi dent Wilson left no room for doubt, so far as he was concerned; Ik- de clared it should be reunited, autono mous, independent Poland. Now we know where we've got one real friend." Suppose it becomes an independ ent Poland, will it be a republic or a monarchy?" That Is now uncertain. Hitherto the Poles have had In mind a new Kingdom of Poland. But monarch ies 'Seem to be going. out. It our Independence comes through ' Russia, where the demo cratic ideal has taken a real hold. undoubtedly the disposition would make Poland a republic. If throueh Germany, a limited monarchy would seem most likely unless there Is a decided change In Germany In the meantime." WAR WILL AFFECT MISSIONARY WORK Recall of MIsHiiMtarlni Not Content- platexl llut Activities Mil)' Curtailed by ItuntlxtN. (By United Press to the Bend Bulletin) NEW ORLEANS, Muy 16.
