The standing: Jim Thorpe, considered as the best' all around athlete of all time is final- ly forsaking the realm of sports. The ? culminationin the famous players ca-' reer is seen in his release by the New York professional football club for failure to get into proper playing condition. Two weeks ago he played with the New York team against the Frank- fort Yellow Jackets but failed to show anything like his old time form and was withdrawn. He has been handicapped by an injured knee which' failed to respopd to treatment. Of- ficials of the New York team said i was considered doubtful that he would play again. Thorpe is now 39 years old, and in his failure to gain a regular position on the New York team athletic ob- servers see the end of his spectacular athletic career. The big Indian hasi thad a checkered career but also one of the most marvelous all-around rec- 1 ords in competitive history. He first l gained national recognition as a grid- I iron star at the Carlisle school, Penn-1 sylvania, winning a place on Walter Camp's all-American teams in 1911 and 1912. As a member of the Olympic team TRORPE FORSAKES SPORT WORLD AFTER FAILURE TO PROVE STAR in 1912, Thorpe romped away with the all around track and field events. In an aftermath of the Olympics he be- came involved in a scandal and was stripped from his titles and medals on a charge of professionalism. Thorpe then turned to the diamond for a.living and was signed by the New York Giants, but failed to mea's- ure up to the big league standard. In the passing few years lie has play- ed both professional baseball and football, shifting from one place to another, but still flashing intermit- tently with the brilliancy of his form- er athletic prowess.
