dian boy who proved to be the
best athlete in the world at the
Olympic games held at Stock-
holm this year, sat in the Santa-
1* e depot at Guthrie for several
haurs Tuesday night, refusing to
talk about himself or his exploits
when questioned by representa-
tives of the Star.
Wearing a big black hat and a
red shirt, the marvelous Carlisle
football, bi\se-ball.and track star
Whose athletic prowess has start-
led the world, looked more like
A prosperous Tndian farmer than
a renowned athlete. lie >"t last
night for Idaho, but declined to
state the object of his trip.
Yon are Jim Thorpe of Car-
lisle, arc you not? asked the Star
man. (t,
Thorpe said nothing eloquen-
tly, his two companions follow-
ing his example with a smile.
Then Thorpe grinned and said.
That's not my name. But as he
looked likeThorpe, the reporter
was persistant and one of the
meu stated that they had been i
hunting near Prague the home of
Thorpe, who is a Sac and Pox. j
Just as the northbound strain
was about to pull out. Thorpe
laughed almost audibly, pulled
two letters from his-dnside pock-
et and showed them y the repor
ter. 1 hey had followed- -him all j
over the country before they fin I
allv caught him (at Prague. I
Yes, I am your man. Good-by, '
he said with a smile, as >* train '
left the station.
