THORPE Big STAR
ON THE GRIBIRON
GREAT INDIAN ATHLETE HAS EV-
ERYTHING THAT GOES TO MAKE
A GREAT PLAYER AND PHYsI-
CALLY HE is SAID TO BE AS NEAR
PERFECT AS POSSIBLE,

Despite the fact for fame of Charlie
B~rickley, HOBBY Baker. Lefty" FLYNN
and Harold Pumpelly not one of these
is the real gridiron star of the season
now passing, The honor belongs to
that aboriginal American, Jim Thorpe.
In baseball parlanCe, Thorpe has ev-
e%rything. He has the speed, the size,
the line-planting ability, the agrees
~siveness that GO to make d hero in
the running game. And besides this he
can kick but little short of Brickley
as a goal booter and FELTON, as a
punter.
Thorpe battered the Army Into sub
mission. 1t was not until he had thor
Oughly demonstrated the West Point
eleven that the other members of the
Carlisle team could gain. When the
Indians ran UP against Penn and de-
feat, Thorpe tore off the yards that
built up the redskins" total. Against
Springfield, he made every point for
his eleven. In other games he has
made nearly every point.
Physically ne is as near perfection
as a human being is eve found. His
tremendous strength makes him a diff =
cult man to down unless he is per-
fectly tackled, while he can %outfoot
ninety-nine out of 100 of the gridiron
stars. Defensively his ability to boot
them high and far has kept the In
dams out of many bad holes this
year and done much to make their
season a winning me-. Few men can
exchange pupts with him to an ad-
vantage.

New York, Dec. 13.-Convinced that
Roger Bresnahan, erstwhile leader of
the st. Louis club, had an iron-clad
contract and that he could. under it's

ers who recently turned him away, the
board of directors of the National
league had practically decided to turn
the matter over to the Missouri courts
when it met his afternoon for its sec
ond session.
Members of the board wondered why
they had gone to such lengths in their
efforts, to discover the facts when 1t
was apparent that they could take no
action to adjustment. Beyond the
maintenance of B~resnahan's standing
as a player, the directors realized they
could do nothing toward ultimate set

Loses GSirl8 Wins
0Manna' For Bride

ChicagO.-To the story of an in
ing three years ago when Miss Dor
othy Mclean broke her engagement
with Robert Isham Randolph, prom
inent civil engineer of Riverside, was
added another chapter when it was
announced that the rejected suitor
was about to become the husband OF
the mother of his former fiancee-
Mrs. George a. Mclean.
The bride will be the former pros
pective mOther-in-law of the groom,
while the former prospective bride
will then become the stepdaughter
of the man whom she once had
promised to marry.
Through the tangle of the romance
runs sharply the uniqueness of wo-
mans mind-its constant sympathy
and its ever readiness to change. Miss
MacLean suddenly changed her mind
three years ago. broke her engage
ment with young Randolph and sail
"a away to Europe, whence she short
iy returned to become the bride OF
Harold Hellyer, a former suitor.
Sympathy Turns to Love.
Mrs. MacLean, her heart filled with
mOtherly pity, gave all of her sym
pathy to the man whom her daugh-
ter had so bitterly sappointed. From
out of this sympathy, it Is said, has
sprung the love that will culminate
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-10-19

in the marriage. Randolph is 80
years old, his bride to- be is As.
The stepdaughter to be is now in
Japan IN a letter received Saturday
Mrs. Hellyer. who has known of the
engagement OF her mother to her for
mer sweetheart for some time, stated
that she was delighted that the we'd
d ng would be- So soon and regretted
that she could not attend the cere-
mOny. Mrs. MacLean said that her
daughter was not opposed to the
match.
Although he had fallen desperate
ly in love with the former Miss Mac
Lean on first sight. when he met her
at ball four years ago, Randolph's
affection soon changed to his former
prospective mother-in-law. They
were often together. but friends had
no hint of the impending marriage.
only Mrs. Hellyer knew of the affair.
The breaking of the engagement by
Miss MaCLean three years ago and
her marriage in few months to Har-
Old Hellyer, who lived next door to
her, caused sensation in Riverside
society circles and it was the sub
ject of conversation tor some time.
Mrs. Hellyer was married almost two
years ago and for some time the gos-
sip had been almost forgotten.
Mrs. MacLean was the wife of
George A. MacLean. He and his son,
George MacLeaa. Jr., We're killed in
an automobile accident in New Jer-
sey more than TIVE years ago. Mrs.
MacLean, her daughter and two
friends were also hurt in the acci-
dent and were in a hospital in New
York for several months. The an
nouncement of the engagement Of
Miss MacLean and I,oDert Randolph
had been made before the accident.
Now Comes Hellycr.
Shortly after leaving the hospital
in New York the widow and daughter
returned to their homes in Riverside,
Harold He,lyer who had visited Miss
MacLean several times before her en-
gagement to Randolph had been an
nounced, renewed his attentions. He
was seen with her more frequently
than Randolph and it was passed
about that the engagement had been
broken. Hellyer is connected with
his brothers, who are Chicago tea
merchants. He is the representative
Of the firm in Japan. He and Mrs
Hellyer have lived in Japan more
than a year.
Randolph is the son of Isham Ran
dolph, chief consulting engineer OF
! the Chicago Drainage board. He Is
secretary of the rivers and lakes

I Governor Deneen. In speaking Of the

suit Mrs. Hellyer, naturally but OF
course she has known about it for
months. She was taken into our con-
fidence as soon as her mother and
