FATHER AND SON
PLAN LONG WALK
SAN BERNARDINo EDITOR WILL
TRAVEL MANY MILES
Boy Six Years Old to Accompany
Parent on Jaunt Across coun-
try and Back to This
City

And now comes a perambulating
Lochinvar out of the west from the
vicinity of San Bernardino with a
brand new plan for annihilating dis
tance and incidentally the reputation
of the walking Weston via the shanks
route in the person of ]. A. Seabury,
formerly city editor of the San Ber-
nardino Index. Mr.. Seabury will be
accompanied by his little son Arthur, a
midget six years old.
AS named by the pedestrian himself
the pedal performance is entitled "A
Ten Thousand Mile Father and Son
Teddy Bear Trip" The general limi-
tations of the jaunt are to cover on
foot route through every state and
territory In the Union and return to
the starting place, Los Angeles, be-
fore August 8, 1911. The first step will
be taken at 10 o'clock New Years
morning.
The route planned is almost directly
across the United States through the
desert and southern states to the At
lantic coast and back again to this
side of the continent In the boundaries
of the northern territory.
The first few days will be taken by
easy stages to become accustomed to
the pace, but before two weeks are
passed the travellers will be well upon
their way over the desert. On account
of the sandy and waterless wastes at
the beginning of the trip the start is
made at this season when water is
plentiful on the desert.
1t Is the plan of the walking firm to
carry all camp accessories with them
but these will be limited to the plain
necessities for comfort. The kit of the
senior partner will include etn-pound
haversack, miners silk tent, nine
pounds; canteen, four pounds; revol-
yer and cartridges, one pound, and two
blankets. The care of a jointed tent
pole and the tent stakes have been en-
trusted to the smaller traveller.
Such expeditions are not strange 20
the elder Seabury, who bears world
wide reputation among walkers, and
even the young adventurer has an ex-
traordinary pedigree as ground
gamer, considering his brief years for
experience. The aptitude of the child
for such journeys was first noticed by
his father when the lad was midget
of three, in long jaunts over the san
Bernardino mountains Since his first
trials at pedaling the boy has paced
up to thirty miles per day on speed
trials.
A similar trip of the same distance
as the one now being undertaken was
started by Mr.. Seabury few years
ago in company with another news
paper man; but the expedition was
abandoned at the request of Mr.. Sea-
bury's partner who qualied at the
dimensions of the long stride.
Regardless of other failures, which
by no means have been as numerous as
his successes in the walking liner the
present trip will be completed unless
sickness or the condition of the infant
globe trotter demands stop Mr..
Seaburv is confident of the strength of
his son. however, and says the little
one has long been in training for the
undertaking.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9O.-James j.
Jeffries, the champion heavyweight of
the world, who is to referee the Moran
Attell contest for the featherweight
championship of the world, arrived here
today from Los Angeles. Referring to
the coming contest he said:
'T hear that the Englishman is a tough
nut. If he is the man they say he is
he ought to give Attell a hard rub, but
1 won't attempt to name the winner. 1t
wouldn't be the right thing to do"
Jeffries vigorously denied the imputa-
ton published in the east that he was
inclined to favor the Englishman. He
added:
"All I can say is that both fighters
will look alike to me, as they always
have. If they clinch and hold on l will
step in and break them, but SO long as
they keep fighting will not interfere.
They can fight their heads off, and the
harder they fight the better I will be
pleased, for it will mean less work for
me- Moran need not have any fear about
me butting in When 1 was fighting
liked to have my referee officiate.
Moran will do no boxing before his
contest with Abe Attell for the worlds
championship on New Years Cay. His
work for the next two days will be prin-
cipally on the road with the lightest of
gymnasium work as a sort CT nnisner.
When all was said and done yesterday
the midget Englishman weighed 121A
pounds, close enough, his handlers think
to allow him to taper off considerably.
He will dry out the extra pound and a
quarter.
Like Moran, Abe Attell is through with
the hard work From now until fight
day he will just do enough to keep down
to weight and to keep himself on edge1
He makes it practice never to ami,
nounce his seconds until the last day1'
but it is believed that few of his brothkl
ers will be in his corner. The retuT

Charlie Van Dusen will put his good
horse Dusty Miller, by Montana. What
Not, up for auction In the paddock Sat-

races at Ascot last year, and will un-
doubtedly call for some lively bidding

A switch in jockeys at the last minute
helped the play on Adelbert Belle, win
ner of the third race. Hennesey was
slated to ride the filly. but his name
was taken off the jockey board and
Knapps substituted. The change was
evidently well meant, for Adelbert Belle

tion would doubtless come in handy for

NEW YORK, Dec. sO.-Matthew P.
Halpin, manager of the victorious team
at the Olympic games in Athens. has
replied to the attacks made upon him
by several members of the team and their
protests against his being manager of
the team in London next summer.
IN long communication, Halpin gives
what he declares to be the reasons for
the attacks and protests. He says the
main reason for the protest of the Irish
American club is the fact of the intense
rivalry between that club and the New
York Athletic club. of which Ha,pin is
a member.

the team at Athens he declares to be
based upon personal grounds and takes

Vontellus was bumped all over the track
mile and sixteenth journey, but after
getting out of the crush Burns worked
him up gradually and had no trouble in
annexing the purse. Foncasta and Ellie
were next in line, with Mary Candlemas,
which showed all kinds of speed in the
early going, nowhere when the drive hap
pened.
Everything in the field got away on

rushing Mary Candlemas across the
track in front of her field to assume the
lead. This happened right in front of

attendance. AvontelIus was last at the
quarter and Burns took him to the out
side in order to get clear sailing. Turn

in the lead, but she had shot her bolt
and Foncasta rushed in ahead of Ellie.
Avontellus was well up by this time
and Burns set him down to win by three,
lengths. Foncasta and Ellie finished
lengths apart, the next batch being heads
and noses apart at t wire.
