LDITLD S FARNSWORTH Golfers Play Semi and Final Rounds Today Grind of 36 Holes Is on at East Lake Course By Percy 11. Whiting. WITH the weather fair, for once, though with the course as soggy as usual, 40 men set out early on the 36- hole grind through the semi-finals and finals over the East Lake course of the Atlanta Athletic club, which will decide by nightfall the ownership of a few hundred dollars worth of stiverware offered for the purpose. Friday morning's matches served to separate the sheep from the goats, as it were - to divide the 8u players who qualified into winners and losers' flights. In the after noon’s play the 80 were cut to 4u. Saturday morning's matches will reduce the number to 20. And In the afternoon the number will again be divided by two. leaving ten men, each of whom is entitled to a handsome trophy as a testimonial of his golfing prowess and as a sou venir of the occasion. Naturally, Atlanta playersare go ing to cut a prominent figure in,the ultimate distribution of prizes. One reason is that they so largely out numbered the visitors. Another is that they are playing good golf. Over a course as difficult as the one at East Lake, the home play ers. who are accustomed to the yawning chasms and the mentally and physically hazardous water shots, have a shade of advantage. Good-sized galleries were out to witness the closing rounds, and the Interest in the affair has been sus tained up to the very last. • • • TCHE comparatively small number * of visitors who came to the lo cal tournament wilt probably re sult In a change of date for the Invitation event next rear The local tournament, came at the end of a long string of tournaments the Birmingham invitation event, the Chattanooga championship and the Montgomery invitation tourna ment —and it found the Southern players surfeited with invitation tournaments. If this event had been held In late September or, in fact, almost any told time In the fall, it would have attracted a larger field. However, one thing was demon strated by the local tournament, and that was that there will never be any lack of entries for a local Invitation event, for Atlanta has enough golfers to pull an interest ing tournament ant old time. It is doubtful If any course In the South ever furnished as many fairly good players to one tournament as the local club did on this occasion. • * * rp HE results of yesterday's matches 1 follow.

Y„ July 20.—Man ager Harry Wolverton, of the New York Yankees, is dickering with John Gan zel, leader of the International league pennant winners, for Tommy McMil lan, the former Southern league star. Wolverton has made a flattering offer for the little infielder and expects that within a few days Thomas will be dec orated in a New York uniform. McMillan has been playing corking ball this season. He is hitting at a .322 clip right now. and shows no sign of dropping below this figure. His fielding average to date is .934. Tommy was tried out by both the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs, but found lucking. Since then, however, he has improved wonderfully. Ganzel is confident that he is now ripe for fast company. McMillan's only fault when he was in the National league was that he "fought" the ball too much. He tried to make his throws before he clutched the pill. He has overcome this error now.

HAMMOND. IND.. July 20.—Jimmy flabby, who returned to Hamm..nd from Australia a. fortnight ago as claimant of the welterweight title, lias purchased one of the principal hotels in Hammond, but intends to continue his ring career. Jim Thorpe, Carlisle Indian, Is Greatest of All Athletes WHEN Jim Thorpe gained world-wide fame by dem onstrating beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is the greatest athletic marvel of the age the young Carlisle student realized the ambition of his life. Thorpe had long since been acclaimed the greatest all-around athlete by his own countrymen, but the sturdy, copper-hued youth was set on gaining greater laurels, and just how well he succeeded was told by cable flashes from Stockholm a few days ago. They described how the lithe limbed marvel, a r.eal son of the nation's forefathers, astonished the gathering of people from all parts of the world by his wonderful feats on the track and field, how he ex celled countless competitors, men of brain and brawn, the pick of other nations, in tests of skill, speed and endurance. And when Thorpe captured the last of the ten events of which the decathlon consisted he had convinced Olympic spectators that if ever there lived a finer specimen of an all-round athlete the world has yet to become ac quainted with him. Os the 85 points rolled up by the American competitors in capturing the fifth Olympiad. Thorpe won six, taking the pentathlon and decath lon. the two events that are an ex cellent test for all-around prowess on the track and field. The pentathlon comprises five events —.the running brofid jump, throwing the javelin, a 200-meter flat race, throwing the discus and a 1,500-meter flat race. The decathlon is a much severer test for the athlete, numbering twice as many events. The com petition comprises a 100-meter flat race, running broad jump, putting the weight, running high jump, 400- meter flat race, 110-meter hurdle race, throwing the discus, pole vault, throwing the javelin and a 1,500-meter flat race. Thorpe by Far the Best. In all of these numerous com petitions Thorpe stood out far above any of the contestants and he had to compete against a collec tion of athletes said to be the great est ever gathered at any athletic carnival since the revival of the Olympic games. Thorpe won the the pan’athlon by six points, which was nine points better than the second best com petitor. R. Bie. a Norwegian, and nineteen points better than the third honors, which were divided by Avery Brundage, of Chicago, and Frank Lukeman. of Quebec. The wide difference in points may give some idea of how far the In dian excelled, being based on an average of his performance in the five events. Out of a possible 10.1)00 points in the decathlon Thorpe ran up the unprecedented score of 8,412; these also being figured on an average of his performance in the events of speed, strength and skill. H. Weislander, of Sweden, who took second honors in this event was over 700 points behind, and the third man, C. Lomberg, also of Sweden, fully 1.000. The aborigine was the first ath lete of history to win both these classic tests of power and speed. f-'ive years ago Thorpe was un known to the athletic world, at that time living with his people at a set tlement near Prague. Oklahoma. He hails from the Sac and Fox tribe of redskins, who inhabit tiiat territory. In 1908 an Indian school commissioner induced Jim's father to sign an application blank to have him entered at the Carlisle Indian school. Jim was eighteen at that time and had given no evi dence of possessing the wonder ful ability that lias since made him world famous. He was no different than the ordinary Indian youth of that section of the land and there was nothing in particular to recom mend him for enrollment in the school instead of one of the other boys. Glen Warner, the famous coach at the Indian school, was first at tracted to the youth in the spring of that year shortly after he made his appearance at Carlisle. The coach was idly watching a flock of candidates for the Indian track SUMMER SKIN DISEASES During the summer most persons are annoyed with pimples, boils, rashes, or eruptions, while others suffer more severely with Ec zema.

The careless manner of the youth utterly surprised the veteran handler of athletes. Here was a lad, who, clad in heavy overall', outdid his stars attired in trim athletic apparel, and did It with out half trying. He didn't know who the new arrival was. but he was determined to find out. War ner next saw him In a hurdle rac». and the way he skimmed ahead of the others in the regulation suits caused him to approach the young man and say: "You. sonny, beat it to the gym and put on a track suit." Thorpe Not Real Name. From that time on Thorpe, which, by the way. is not his name, but one given him at Carlisle be cause it is easier to pronounce than his real cognomen, began to rise to fame. A Wonder at Football. In the fall of 1909 Thorpe be came a substitute on the famous Indian football team, and the fol lowing years broke into the game as a regular player. He was pla< ed at halfback, and it did not take him long to establish himself on the gridiron as the best man who ever played that position on a col lege eleven. He won game after game for the Indians. His spec tacular runs and sensational kick ing w ere the features of every game he played in, and it was his bril liant work that enabled the Car lisle team to humble the Crimson eleven that year. In that contest Thorpe, playing with a lame leg that had to be bandaged tightly before the game, kicked four field goals in four attempts. Thorpe's unerring toe was responsible for thirteen of the eighteen points scored by his team. He did not return to school the follow ing year, going to liis home in the West, but came back the next season. Besides football, the young abo rigine is an expert in about ten other branches of sports. He is a great basketball player, at which gain? he fills in at center to the best ad vantage. He can play any posi tion on the diamond, but is best on the mound, and if he chooses, may some day break into the big league as a pitcher, to rival Big Chief Binder. He can put the 16-pound shot 43 feet, has a record of 23 feet in the broad jump, can cover a hun dred yards in 10 seconds, has done 6 feet 1 inch at high jump, run 110 yards over the higli hurdles n 15 4-5 seconds and negotiated the 220-yard hurdles in 26 seconds. He is an expert lacrosse player, a skill ed tennis player and a star at hand ball and hockey, besides being a crack shot with botli rifle and shot gun. If there exists any line of sports at which the Indian had failed to make a showing it is only because he has never tried his hand at it. Thorpe today is about 23 years of age, six feet minus his shoes and scales about 178 pounds train ed down for action, which is all th time, because he is always in the pink of condition.
