Former Holder of Worlds Best
AlI-Around Athlete Title Re-
ceives 81 per Day

Los Angeles, March -R- Jim
Thorpe, acclaimed the greatest foot
ball player Of all time and ace hold
err of the title of worlds best all-round
athlete, Is working here as a laborer
with pick and shovel for 81 per day,
but he can still grin.
The once mighty Indian who In
1912 almost single handed cornered
Olympic honors for his native coun-
try. only to relinquish his trophies
under charges of professionalism, is
not ashamed of his job.
Big Jim is determined to beat back.
I'm not through" he said Tuesday,
Jim Is q nonentity in a motley
crew Of diggers e~xcavating for the
new Los Angeles county hospital.
No one pays any attention to the
clods he's digging up now.
Can Still Smile
After work Jim goes home to a
small cottage where Mrs. Thorpe who
can smile still, and Phillip, 4, and
Billy, 2, wait for him. Sometimes jim
opens a big book and the little
Thorpes look properly awed. as
though understanding it all. The
book contains many clippings and
some photographs.
The photographs include snapshots
Of Jim being handed something by
the King OF Sweden, and there are
pictures of what the king gave him.
There's a picture Of a bronze Vi
king ship, which Jim got for winning
the decathlon. and a picture Of a
bronze bust Of Sweden's king. which
went to Jim for winning the penta-
thlon.
It's hard to find q reason for the
present state Of affairs of the smiling
former athletic.
Guess It's an old story" he grinS
IT liked to be q good fellow. But I'll
come out Of this"
Thorpe attended Carlisle Indian
school from 1907 to 1912. He starred
in football, baseball and track. Base
ball he played in 1909 and 1910 for
$25 a week in a little southern league.
brought about his undoing after his
amazing featS at Stockholm in 1912.
Wins DeCathlcn
In raising the flag of his native
land to the top Of the Olympic mast,
Jim after winning the five events OF
the decathlon took 8.412 points out
Of a possible 10000 in the pentathlon,s
ten. events. comprising the Severest OF
all athletic contests.
He wa named all-Anerican half
back in 1911 and 1912. From 1914 to
1929 he played professional football
and baseball.
Closing his gridiron career in 1929.
the famous Indian became master OF
ceremonies for the transcontinental
bunion derby staged two years ago
by G. G. Pyle. Then Jim faded from
the sports picture.
Jim Is dickering with two schOls for
post OF all-rourd coach. The schools
are Dickinson college at Carlisle, Pa.
where he won undying fame. and
Mississippi A. & M. For sentimental
reasons he prefers the former college.
I'D feel better back there. In the
meantime the pick and shovel will
have to do"

News Trend.
Additional reports by railroads OF net
operating income for April caused the
present aggregate for SO roads to fall to
35.3 per cent below April, 1880, q less
favorable comparison with last year
than did the aggregate reported yes
terday for 81 roads, which was on 244
per cent. This aggregate for SO roads
Is also definitely less favorable than the
March aggregate for the same so roads
which was 22.8 per cent below March
1880. The nature and trend Of these
railroads make It highly probable that
when the April total of all class roads
is computed, 1t will make a poorer COM
parison with the last year than did the
total In March, which was 25.8 per cent
under March, 1880.
