THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1929. By GEORGE Mc A NO BIRD BY THE NAME OF DUGAN 1S GONNA PUT ANY- THING OVER ON THIS GUY WELL, DID YOou SEE 1 ALan J.Goup At something over 40 years of age, Jim Thorpe still appears to be one of the hardiest of the species that ever broke through a line, -jumped 6 fect o swung a curve ball. Fully thre redskin the joi finger of my third remained somewhat sorc from thej force of his grasp. Nevertheless Thorpe thinks he has had about enough. He is through, he sa; with the grid- iron, even though he probably can go out in civilian clothes nov without warming up, and dropkick with anyone at distances up to 60 yards with a ‘greater degree of aceuracy. The Indian’s legs can no longer | stand the wear and tear of a foot ball campaign, although he out d nearly te aries as a professional over a period of about a dozen His last -athletic.. pnterprise the Bunion Derby. Jim contractes no bunions, for he was a ballyhoo man and not a contestant, but neither did he develop any profits. His most recent assignment was as bodyguard to D. Scott Chisholm, the Los Angeles Scot and presi- dent of the California Golf Writers' | Association, during the amateur championship at Pebble Beach. | Thorpe has reached the end of the athletic trail without much to show for his greatest efforts. He was shorn of his Olympic medals | of 1912 after being declared a “pro” but this was before the big| money era of commercial sport. Red Grange made more in one afternoon as a “pro” football play- er than Thorpe did in two com- plete seasons. The big Indian was exploited in any number of ways but somehow the proceeds remain- ed elusive or else they vanished as quickly as they came. Nevertheless, nothing can deprive Thorpe of his rank as one of the greatest of all-around athletes. No| All-time All-American football team is complete with the Sac and Fox Indian. On the track; in his prime, he could run the “100” in ten seconds, high jump around 6 feet 4 inches and toss anything from the javelin to the 16-pound shot with a carcless skill that amazed observers. He hasn't any medals to show for it but he is still the only man who ever won poth the Olympic pentathlon and decathlon. Curve balls forced him out of the big league baseball but his natural ability carried him quite a way on the diamond. La- crosse was a “soft” game for him and no one.ever tried putting ice skates on Thorpe or he might have been a star at the bruising sport of hockey.

EARS ago, when cigarettes were made without the aid of modern science, there originated that ancient prejudice against ail cigaretfes. That criticism is no longer justified. LUCKY STRIKE, the finest cigarette you ever smoked, made of the choicest tobacco, properly aged and skillfully blended—*“It’s Toasted.” “TOASTING,” the most modern step in cigarette manufacture, removes from LUCKY STRIKE harmful irritants which are present in cigarettes manufacturedin the old-fashioned way. Everyone knows that heat purifies, and so “TOASTING”— LUCKY STRIKE'’S extra secret process—removes harmful, corrosive ACRIDS (pungent irritants) from LUCKIES which in the old-fashioned manufacture of cigarettes cause throat irritation and coughing. Thus “TOASTING” has destroyed that ancient prejudice against cigarette smoking by men and by women., “It’s toasted” gh.
