NBW YORK, Jan. 28. The confession
of James Thorpe, the "world's greatest
athlete," that he played base ball as a
professional In 1!H and 1910 will result In
n investigation or several other conego
men from the north," who, Thorpe says,
played In the .nme league. James E. Sul
livan, secretary of the Amateur Athletic
union, so announced today.
Mr. Sullivan said he had written Thorpe
sklng him to name tho men.
I have written to the authorities at
the Cat lisle Indian school asking them to
return to me by express the trophies
which Thorpe brought back from the
Olympic games," said Bulltvan. "I alio
sent a cablegram to Christian Helstrom,
the Olympic cam en commissioner .it
Btockholm, notifying him that the tro
phies would be returnefl."
The tokens of Thorpe glory on tho
O ymptc field which will be returned to
Rwcrtcn are a bronic bust of tho king of
Sweden, which Thorpe won with the pen
tathlon, and the decthalon cap, a mag-
nlfloent model of an ancient Viking Filp.
"Thorpe's case Is at once one of the
greatest tragedies and marvels of ama
teur athletics," Sullivan said. "It seema
ncrrdlhlc that he should have played lor
two years as a professional and that no
one has .arisen till this lato date to sav
so. Of all the thousands of persons who
aw him play it Is strange that there was
not one to say beiore that he was a pro
fesslonal."
The snarl which the board of governors
of the Amateur Athletic union will he
called upon to unravel because of
Thorpe's professionalism, appeared today
less complicated trian 'at first thought.
Mr. Sullivan Bald that Thorpe had par
ticipated In few Amateur Athletic union
events, and that while the Indian had
won many prizes and established new rec
ords most of them wero In college ath
letics, over which the union exercises no
Jurisdiction.
To expunge the marks set by Thorpe
the record committee of the union, Mr.
Sullivan announced, would canvass tho
situation shortly and report to the board
of governors.

Dr. Fling Shows the
Results Which May
Follow Present War
The danger that threatens Austrta
Hungaiy In case a permanent federation
of the Balkan states should result from
the war in the far cast was pointed out
by Dr. Fred Morrow Fllmc. head uro-
fessor of European l lstory of ths Uni
versity of Nebraska, in his lecture at
the high school auditorium yciterday aft
ernoon. He spoke on "The International
Relations of the European States." th
occasion being the third of hts scries of
lectures under the auspices of the Omaha
Public library.
"If a permanent federation of the
Balkan states is effected, it may be thei
cause of the disintegration of Austria
Hungary," .ald the speaker, "as it -will
be difficult for Austria-Hungary to hold
In subjection the Slavs, which compose
so large a part of tho population of Its
southern territory. The people of the
Balkan states nr largely of Slavic blood,
and thero will naturally be a bond of
sympathy betwen them and tho Blava
that are held under the rule of Austria
Hungary." .
