The height issue that Barry mentioned seems to be the evidence that it is not Jim Thorpe. Maybe the guy is related to Thorpe in some way. Could be a cousin, second-cousin...brother, nephew. But I think you are reaching and grabbing at straws if you want to claim that the short guy in the photo is the same as the 6-1 Jim Thorpe. (I actually don't know Thorpe's real height, but assuming Barry is correct).
