THINKS THORPE IS
A BASEBALL STAR

In Minneapolis they regards Jim
Thorpe, one-time Giant, as a real base
ball star Read what one critic has to
say about him:
Thorpe is headed for the major league
again. The Milwaukee left fielder is
playing in the hope that he will be re-
called next year. In the American Asso-
citation the Indian has performed in won
derful style. Batting right handed, he
has shown much ability; in fact. he
seems to be a natural right-handed hit
ter. His speed on the bases is dazzling
and his fielding and throwing all that
could be desired"
