e"
Of sthe possibilities that lie in his
powerful, alert body
Alt-Round Sportsman.
1t must be understood that in addi
ton to the IL representative sports
included in his winning the Penta
thlon and Decathlon, he is equally
proficient in such sports as throwing
the hammer, swimming, skating
walking, rowing and possibly a dozen
of minor athletic activities.
In addition, he is a specialist, and
probably the greatest in the world, al
football. He runs, side-steps, plunges
lodges as we'll as the best football
player that ever lived He punts and
kicks goals with strength and preci
sion, interferes or follows interior
ence with cunning, throws forward
passes and makes inside kicks with
the greatest veterans, and tackles and
uses the stiff arm with almost per
feet technique. That he has been
elected as the captain of this years
Carlisle Indian football eleven IS In
itself a tribute to his complete knoWi
edge of intricate football rules.
Thorpe pitches at baseball, plays
any base, or occupies the field. with
equal distinction. At basketball he
is little short of a marvel, playing any
position. Included among the other
sports which he has mastered are la
crosse, tennis, hockey, handball, in
door baseball, indoor gymnastics ano
medicine ball. Croquet, cricket and
golf are about the only sports Thorpe
has left alone. He is enthusiastic
over horseback riding and hunting
being a dead shot with rifle or shot
gun.
His easy method Of approaching all
of his athletic tasks has been the sub
ject of much comment, The country
will have an opportunity this year OF
seeing Thorpe playing football as
CarlisIe'S captain. He can stand more
physical punishment at the great col
lege game than any man who has
ever played at Carlisle.
President Noble, Of Dickinson Col,
lege, yesterday suggested that the
city of Carlisle unite with the Indian
school in rendering Thorpe a recep-
ton upon his return. and a commit
teen will lay plans for a big demon
stration for the greatest athlete IN
the world.

DUKE SWIMS .
EXHIBITION
BEFORE KING
Swedish Sovereign Asks to See
Hawaiian Perform Alone, and
Duke Breaks His Own Record
for Benefit of Royalty !.

So brilliantly did Duke Kahanamo.
ku perform in the Olympic contests,
that the King of Sweden expressed
his, desire to see the Hawaiian In &C.
ton alone in the tank, so that he
might the better study his form and
stroke. Duke gave a special exhibit
ton for King Gustav, swimming 900
meters in marvelously fast time. and
after the performance he was per.
sonally congratulated by the King,
who asked many questions about Ha
wall and the lie here. L
This interesting information comes
in a letter to Lew G. Henderson. from
his father i'm Philadelphia. The lat.
ter, with whom Duke stayed during
the entire time he spent in the East,
had just received a, long letter from
the Hawaiian speed marvel, telling
of his doings. and giving many In
teresting incidents of his stay abroad,
and of the tOnr that he made through
Germany and France with other MEM
Lers of the victorious American olym-
pic team. ~ :
The King later on had Duke give
an exhibition for his personal pleas
ure, writes Mr.. Henderson. ST.
Duke was In the tank all alone and
swan 200 meters In I'm. 35s., beating
his Verona Lake record by 5 seconds. =
A post card from Duke to Hender-
son brings the information that he
expected to be in England for the
swimming championships July 80. and
that he was having q great time on
the trip through Germany. Tne card
was mailed at Hamburg.

HOW THEY STAND

Washington is now only six full
games behind the Red Sox, and go
Ing strong. Since the standings we're
last published Clarke Griffith's pets
have come up a couple of points In
the percentage table, and are now
almost out of sight of the Athletics.
There are many major league fans,
according to the Eastern sporting
writer's, who now believe that WASH
lngton's showing was not a mere flash
in the pan, and that the Nationals
will really land the flag.
Pittsburg is hanging right onto
Chicago in the National race, II one
can call it a race with the Giants so

Our system Best.
He stands today e-eminently as
a refutation to the allegation on the
part of critics all over the world that
the American plan of developing ath-
ietic marYels is accomplished by spe-
cialization carried to unreasonable en-
tremes. It. is conceded by his close
followers that he is a. man of enor-
nous strength, not so much because
of his size--he weighs about 1S5-but
because of his ability to concentrate
his strength to the channels most
needed.
Thorpe was found to be normal
when he went to Carlisle as a lad. On
entering the school he was feet 5h
inches tail, and weighed lis pounds
AS bearing on his physical develop
ment, figures at hand now show that
in 1908 he had jumped up to feet
liz inches, and his chest measure
ments at inspiration and expiration,
respectively were al and 81 inches
He then weighed 1S1 pounds.
Three years afterward, or on Sep
TENDER II, 1911, he was feet ~
inches tall, weighed 49,, and inspira-
ton and expiration measurements
were 4219 and 3512 inches. Smooth,
even development, without knots or
bumps, has marked the Sac and Fox
Indians progress all along.
To be sure Thorpe has had the

years at the hands of Glenn S. War

he has confor1ned to Warmers gen

Most remarkable of all possibly IS
the simple fact that he clearly denim

Attempts to Kill Roosevelt

On Monday night of last week
a crazy anarchist attempted to
assassinate Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt in Milwaukee by firing
upon him with a 80 calibre revol-
yer. The bullet, after passing
through a heavy overcoat and
other clothing, a manuscript of
his speech and his spectacle case,
entered the right breast and
broke a rib. Although the
wound is not necessarily danger
GUS it will prevent Mr.. Roosevelt
from continuing his active cam
paign and it is probable that he
will make no more speeches be-
fore the election.
When the shot was fired Roose
welt was not aware that he was
wounded and did not find it out
until after he had gotten into his
car and was on his way to the
auditorium where he was to
speak that night. His attention
was called to the fact that a
hole was in his overcoat, where
upon he thrust his hand beneath
his coat and when he withdrew
it, it was covered with blood.
His friends then begged him to
return to the hotel, but he re-
piled II will make this speech or
die. He went on the stage.
made his address and then re-
turned to a hospital where ia
nous surgeons attempted in vain
to find the bullet.
The would-be assassin, John
Shrank, is demented and claims
that his rash act was urged on
him by the spirit of William Nc
Kinley, which visited him in a
dream and pointing to Roosevelt
said There is my murderer;
avenge my death" Shrank was
taken into custody by the police
officials and awaits the results of
his act before indictment is
brought against him. He will
/ be prosecuted by the only Social
ist prosecuting attorney in the
United States, and should Roose-
welt die he cannot be greater
punishedthan sentenced in the
penitentiary for life, asIWisconsir
forbids capital punishment.
