AS it was in sharp curve the engi-

jump for his life, his example being
emulated by the fireman.
1t was found that the only damage
had been suffered by the engineer
and the fireman, who were scratched

crashed right through the great pine
tree, throwing the broken pieces to
either side. AS the pine tree was a

The Waterbury Independents have a thoroughly worth while team. In their opening game three weeks ago the Independents shut out the strong Coe Brass Co team in Torrington by score of to 0 and the following Saturday they defeated the Ansonia team, which was composed of crack players from New Haven, Derby and Shelton, by a score of to 2. Last Saturday afternoon the Independents gave the Danbury nine a severe drubbing in Danbury by score of 10 to 4, securing seventeen hits.

WALKER WESTON.
Will Trudge From Portland to
 Chicago on a Wager.

"I feel as stout and husky as ever did" says Edward Payson Weston. the father of the heel-and-toe dis tance walk "and although I am nearly 69 years old I will walk from Portland, Me-, to Chicago in better time than I made when l walked 1t forty years ago.
 On Tuesday, October 29, 1867, MT Weston started his famous walk, which was really the beginning of the walking craze. and the success of which gave him fame which ex- tended to Europe. He was then 29 years old and he made the walk in thirty days.
 MT Weston is now 6S but he keeps in fine training, and says that at the present time he never felt better nor stronger and if he doesn't excel his performance of forty years ago he will be very much surprised.
 "I'll show lem what an old man can do," he says, "and what an ab- stemious life can do for you"
 Last year he covered the distance between New York and Philadelphia, 100 miles, starting from the Fifth Avenue hotel, in less than twenty four hours, but he says he regards that as little more than sort of preliminary canter to prove that he has lost none of his endurance and that it will serve as prep" for his longer jaunt.
 He has been making careful prep arations for his great effort. He will go over the same route with his time table of forty years ago before him, and at several points in the tramp he has prepared several surprises. For instance there is fine bit of road between Buffalo, New York and Ash tabula, Ohio, which he covered before in forty-eight hours, but which his present schedule calls for him to cov- CT in only forty hours.
 The start will be made from the postoffice in Portland, Me, at 5 p. m. on Tuesday, October 29. just forty years to an hour after his first suc- cessful start. The schedule calls for a finish at the postofice in Chicago at '2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, No vember 28. As he does not walk dur ing the twenty-four hours of each Sunday this gives twenty-six days to cover about 1,256 miles, Or an aver age of nearly fifty miles day.
