THORPE HAS HOPES OF
ENTERING MAJORS AGAIN
Former Giant Let Go by Jersey City
Club of international League

Jim Thorpe. the former Carlisle In
dian and great exponent of all around
athletics, seems to be having his trou-
bles, no matter what club he is afiI-
lated with. First, Jim Joined the New
York Giants at one of the most mu-
nlflcent salaries. but scarcely had the
redskin Joined the Giants flock when
he was relegated to the bench and
there remained until Johnny McGraw
was finally forced to farm him out to
the Jersey City club.
Among the ''Skeeters' il did not
take the minor leaguers long to get
on to the fact that Jim was easy for
a curved ball. and to this end worked
the Indian to the limit Now the
latest we have learned is that the
"Skeeters" have sent Thorpe to the
Harrisburg club, where Thorpe will
be given another chance TO prove his
worth The redskin cannot go much
lower in the national pastime but in
spite of all he comes back with the
ultimatum that they will yet be TAX
ing their hats or to him as a big
league star.
Those who have ever come in con-
tact with the great Indian athlete
know he is 4 monument of persist
ence- He has the physique. his foot
ball record shows he possesses the
mentality, and If given a fair chance
is bound to shine as a star in any
athletic pastime he may adopt.
