Copyright, 1912. by The Pree (The New York World), OULDN'T some searcher for a “hope” like to get Jim Thorpe? Imagine what Jim would do {f he were turned loose among the heavy. weights! Of course it isn't Iikely that Jim has had time yet to think of taking up box- fag. Football, baseball, basketball, run- ging, jumping, weight throwing, all around athtetics, skating, lacrosse, acro- Retics, hockey, swimming and a fow other similar pursuits have kept him fairly besy at Carlisle.

The latter won by a score of 600 to 474. The winner averaged 14 24-34 and his highest run was @. Blosson made the highest run of the night, 100, by wonderful open table play. To-night the remaining four experts entered in the tournament wil mee: These are Kodji Yamada, the Japanes George Sutton, of Chicago; Al Taylor, of Milwaukee, and Calvin Demarest, of Chicago.
