\‘ANISEING AMERICAN
Jim Thorpe. greatest c: all In-

Thorpe is one of the last of the
Vanishing Americans in sport to an-
swer the call at old Man Time.
Jim began his career at Cdrllsle
School in 1908 and for 20 years has
been a headliner lll college and pro—
fessional sports.
His greatest national achievement
was the winning 01' the indiidduan
championslnp in the Olympic games
in 19.13 at Stockholm. Shortly afte."
he returned to this country with his
newly-won honors. Jim was accused
of being a. professional.
Some busybedy discovered that
Thorpe under an assumed name had
played baseball in a small minor
league in the south Jim admitted
it and they took his inedais away.
Deciding to turn sure-enough pro.
