HERO OF NIAGARA NOW
SELLS FRANKFURTERS

New York, April 14.-After enduring
more perils by flood, field and air than
most men, Robert Leach, or Bobby, ,, :,
as he likes to be called, has settled
down in Plainfeld.
Leach, who now is 81 years old. de-
clares that he has made 1900 balloon
ascensions and dived hundreds of times
from all sorts Of high places, but his
greatest feat was shooting the rapids OF
Niagara.
!, Leach went over the falls in a barrel,
and while he got considerable fame out
of the adventure he made very little
ever did the thing successfully, and he
tells you all about it as a sauce for
your frankfurter when you patronize his
lunch wagon.
"Bobby," now grayhaired, declares
that ever since he was a boy in Yer
mont his ambition was to be the owner
of a lunch wagon. It was only recently
that he saved enough money to buy one.

He travelled the entire 1000 kilo-
meters Of the circuit.
He says he is greatly impressed by
test. but he thinks it will give much
more real support than the ordinary
speed contests, particularly because Of
the fact that the contestants will be
obliged to depend on their own re-
sources with the material actually in
their hands, as such things as tire, pc
troleum depots, repair stations and
other items of extraneous aid common
to speed races will not be provided in
the coming tour.
The circuit comprises twenty-one
days and the countries to be traversed
are France, Italy, Austria, Germany
and Belgium: It is the general under

FAMOUS PEDESTRIAN ACTIVE THO OLD
NORMAN TAYLOR The
PIE ? EATER" RUNNER
six-Day Star Spends Declining
Days as Resident Of
Minneapolis.

DR.. tOsler and his theory received a
bodyblow from Norman Taylor, one
time champion twenty miller, now living
In Minneapolis.
"This osler man is wrong in this
theory. I never ran foot in my life
until p! was over forty,,' said the
&c trssk et1t was St doWn n old a
in 1870, that | first discovered that |
could run. I made one of my best rec
ords when I was 50. Last year, on my
seventy-ffth birthday, I walked the ten
miles to st. Paul in one hour and forty
minutes. I guess that that puts fin
right"
Tho he is now almost 76 years old,
Norman Taylor is a vigorous man, with
the slender figure of the track man and
the resolute Jaw, under grizzled
stand with the Sixteenth Vermont to
meet Pickett 8 wild charge at Gettys-
burg, reel off his 100 miles in the first
day of a six-day race, and at the age
: Of IS walk ten miles in one hour and
forty minutes-better time than the
average athlete of rs could make.
Worked with old-Timers.
"Old Sport Campana, Dan O'Leary,
ssLopper' Hughes, Vint, "Pat' Fitz-
gerald, Sam Day and Frank Hart were
all contemporaries of Taylor and were
his opponents in many contests, and he
can tell many stories of them.
Starting with one-mile races at coun
try fairs when he was 40, Taylor worked
up in the racing game both in distance
and speed until he held the title Of
worlds champion for the twenty-mile
four years: He was defeated by ''Pat'
Fitzgerald in 1882
Some of Taylor's records, as he re-
members them, were: At the age Of
60, in Williamsburgh, N. Y, on New
Years Day, IS 9-16 miles in twelve
eatries and a purse Of s75. Bedford,
Mass, at the age Of So, 400 miles in six
days Of twelve hours each, winning
first over Frank Hart, Peter Hagaman
and Sam Day. The purse, $337o0 was
the best money he ever got. At the age
Of ~ he finished fourth in twenty
four-hour race in New York against
younger men, making ITO miles. In a
six-day race at Plattsburgh, N. Y, four

hours a night, he made first over Pete
Hagaman, Pete Golden and White
Eagle, winning $163. Taylor's last race
was in Minneapolis in 1892, when he
won from all competitors in a six-day
race, four hours at a time, in the old
Market hall. Bridge square and First
street, distancing his nearest rival by
forty miles. His winning was the pal
try sum Of $3.50.
Ends His Career.
This last race ended Taylor's racing
career: Since then he has lived in Min
neapolis, keeping in training by four
mile runs to Bryn. Mawr and until
few years ago working as day la
borer. Now he is living on his pension,
but still keeps in training and expects
to break the record for 76-year-olds by
walking to st. paul on his next BIRTH
day. Racing was never a financial sue
cess with him, and he has no savings
for his old ago, but is entirely depend
emit upon meager pension. Habits Of
temperance and frugality formed on a
Vermont farm and adhered to thru his
racing days render his wants few and
simple. In his six-day racing Taylor
was very fond of pies and ate them in
large numbers while on the tanbark.

New York, April 14.-Victor Hemery,
the famous French racing automobilist,
has not been suspended for a year for
his conduct at the last Ormond meet, as
was generally understood, but was

Gals thought that the penalty inflicted
was punishment enough and Hemery $
suspension ceased with the close Of the
Florida beach carnival.
A. g.. Batchelder, secretary Of the

officially notified of Hemery's suspen-

team, held the northwestern cham

apolis tennis enthusiasts.
According to the testimony Of local
experts Collins is probably the most
scientific tennis player in the country.
He excels at all departments Of
the game, and it would be hard
to say where or how he does his
best work. Whether at the net or
playing back, his work is without a
flaw, his overhead strokes are fine, but
they are surpassed by his under strokes.
If he does one thing better than another
it is placing "lobs.''
There is just one weakness in Col
Inns play, and that is his tendency to
become nervous and lose form. Like
all tennis players he is of a nervous
temperament and the little mishaps of
the game sometimes annoy him to the
extent Of hurting his play. Were it
not for this Collins would stand at the
head Of American tennis today.
