P3 the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July Tom
Thorp of Rockville Center, Long
Island, one of the nations outstand-
ing football and horse racing off,
cials, died here yesterday at the Wy
man House, where he was taken a
week ago after suffering heart at
tack in a Boston hotel. He was go
years old.
Mr.. Thorp, born and raised in New
York's roaring Forties," was the
presiding steward at all three of the
New England horse race tracks and
at Tropical Park in Florida. He had
fulfilled his duties at Suffolk Downs
in Boston until the day before he
was stricken.
All-American in 1904.
A giant, genial and ruddy Irish
man, Mr.. Thorp had been one OF the
nations foremost sports figures since
the start of the century, whenShe
gained his first fame as tackle at
Manhattan College and Columbia
University where he was all-Ameri-
can tackle on the great 1904 team.
He later played football at the Uni
versity of Virginia, where he started
his coaching career in 1906, about
the time he took up newspaper work.
He became a foot ball official early
in his career and he generally was
found officiating in all of the most
important eastern intercollegiate
games. He also served on the Ma
tiona Professional Football Leagues
official staff from its organization
until his health started failing two
years ago. He took considerable
pride in being the first Eastern OFF,
cial invited to work in a Rose Bowl
game. =.
Started as Police Reporter.
He credited his earliest successes
to the encouragement and inspira-
ton he derived from the late James
Butler, New York chain store owner.
He frequently recalled that Mr..
Butler gave him his first job, driving
a delivery wagon, and prevailed upon
lllIl w oCCA q SOAAC6C C0QSoSAoAA.
Later, Mr.. Butler made him general
manager Of his extensive racing in
terests, including the Empire City
track at Yonkers, N. Y.
Mr.. Thorp started newspaper work
as police reporter for the New
York Journal, but he requested
the less exciting assignment of
football and turf editor after he
walked into gun battle while
covering the famous Rosenthal mur-
der case. He retired from sports
writing SIX years ago, when his
racing duties demanded all of his
time. Surviving are two brothers.
Frank and Leo. His third brother,
Ed, also noted football official,
died on June %, 1884.
