for Portland. From there he will con-
tinue a iaunt which he intends will
land him in Portland, Ore, by the time
the snow flies.
Mr.. Curtis is q years old, and has
been employed for the past three years
in the Turner Center Creamery at Au-
burn, driving milk team. He has al
WAYS been a great walker and interest
ed in the feats of longdistance pedes-
TRANS.
The plan of walking across the con-
tinent has been formulating itself Tor
some time. MI Curtis has had a de-
sire to locate in the West, and thought
it would would be an interesting ana
noteworthy feat to walk there. BY way
of preliminary training he has taken
long walks in the vicinity of Auburn,
thinking little of a 10-mile tramp
around Lake Auburn.
Curtis had stated that he would leave
Tuesday morning, but to avoid the
sendon he learned was in preparation
he slipped away quietly Monday. He
intends to sleep out of doors in little
tent he carries, and purchase his meals

MONUMENT DEDICATED IN
HENRY CHADWICk'S MEMORY

New York, April 21.-The monument
erected in memory of Henry Chadwick,
the father of baseball" was unveiled
this afternoon at Greenwood cemetery,
Brooklyn. Charles H. Ebbets, presi-
dent of the Brooklyn club, is chairman
of the National League committee,
which had the dedication in charge,
and he met a. delegation from New
York early this afternoon. George B.
Dewey of the Boston club, another
member of the committee, was also
present, besides great many baseball
men and old newspaper friends of the
Grand Old Man, who died just a year
ago AS a result of exposure which he
risked by attending the opening game
in Brooklyn. Thus the game he helped
to become the leading sport of the
country was indirectly responsible for
his death The Chadwick monument is
a tall granite shaft, surmounted by a
marble baseball. Crossed bats adorn
either side.

boxers, who aspire to heavyweight
championship honors, will meet at the
Armory A. A, Tuesday. April 81 Fer
guson will have close to so pounds ad-
vantage in weight and will be in superb
physical condition.
Sandy and Sam met in this city last
May, and the big Chelsea boxer while
in no condition to enter the ring at the
time, stuck through the IL rounds and
gave every Indication that he could
take punishment without tinching.
The fact that the Faneuil Hall A. c.
boxers were acquitted by a jury in the
superior court on a complaint brought
at the time of meeting held at the
club, March IS, means that the club
will reopen and hold weekly meetings
III the future. The seven defendants
were found not guilty. The weekly
shows will probably be held Thursday
evenings.

McFARLAND'S MANAGER
MAY LOSE ONE ARM

Chicago, April 21.-Harry Gilmore
Jr, manager of Packy Mcfarland, is
in danger of losing his right hand as
q result Of a mixup at the recent
Gotch- MahrnOut wrestling match.
According to the Gilmores Harry was
hurrying through Dexter Pavilion when
he stumbled over the foot of Ralph
Hoagland, the golfer. Hoagland, Gil
more says, kicked him on the shin
telling him at the same time to keep
off his feet. Gilmore retorted that if
he did that again he would swing on
him. The kick was repeated.
Harry Gilmore, Sr., then told his son
to hand him his coat and swing on the
man. Young Gilmore did so and
knocked four teeth out of Hoaglands
mouth.
The teeth cut the back of his hand,
and two days later the swelling was
so bad young Gilmore consulted a
physician, who set to work at once to
save the arm if possible. 1t was on
this account that Gilmore was kept
home when the matching of Nelson and
Mcfarland was on.
