Summer School studeats.Won n.

Not all of the time of the students at
the college summer session is devoted to
gaining knowledge from books, as a por-
tion of the time is devoted to recreation.
One of the amusing events of the session
occurred Wednesday afternoon when a
ball team composed of the students
played a game with a team composed of
the summer boarders at Lake Dunmore.
The students were easy winners but at
the end of the sixth inning were so near
ly worn out with much base running
that the game was called of. As near as
can be ascertained the college nine piled
up nineteen runs and the Lake Dunmore
team but two. 1t was an interesting
game to watch and vast amount of fun
was had by the players as we'll as the
spectators When it comes to ball play
ing the summer session students know a
thing or two about the game.
The batteries were Wray, Greed and
Stewart; Conant, Smith and Lang

CHAMPION WALKER HERE.
Pedestrian on rs, 900 Mile Jaunt
Stops in MiddIebury.

Joseph Mikulec, a Hungarian, who
claims to be the champion long distance
walker of the world, was in Middlebury
Saturday, going from here to Brandon.
He is making journey of $4,000 miles
on a wager of $4,000 for an Austrian
publishing house.
Mr.. Mikulec started from his home
town of Agram, province of Croatic,
Hungary, on February 5, 1906 and has
been walking ever since. From his
home he crossed over into Italy, thence
to France, down inte Spain and Portugal
and from there to Africa, where he
worked his way on a steamer as cooks
assistant. After taking few hundred
mile iaunts about South Africa, he took
a steamer for South America and worked
up the coast into Mexico. He started
from San Francisco on his trip across the
continent. He has completed the jour
ney to Maine and is now on his way
back to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Mikuec will have to complete his
JOURNEY ItDiudiN y, lJl4 anu hC otalSo
that there is very little doubt that he will
be successful as he is now 600 miles
ahead of his schedule. He has covered
over $500 miles in the three years and
six months.
He claims to have started out without
cent in his pocket and earns his way
by selling post cards bearing his picture
He has worn out 40 pairs of shoes and
innumerable pairs of stockings, but his
feet are still whole and he claims to
enjoy walking and says that when he
completes the trip he intends TO start out
again. The pedestrian claims that it Is a
wonderful EDUCATION and to prove it he
cites the fact that he can speak five diff
ferent languages and can make himself
understood in as many more
In all, Mr.. Nikulec has six books in
which are the signatures and seals of the
mayors of the various cities he has passed
through, and signatures and seals Of
governors and rulers. In the one he is
now carrying are the autographs of
many famous men, among them being
those of President Taft and Mayor
McClellen of New York city.
The longest distance the pedestrian
has ever walked without sleeI is l20
miles. He claims this is the, record.
Westons record without sleep is SO miles.
