Il know positively I hit the ball just

To smash Hilton's New London to

utes is the task William H. Wicks, last
seasons baseball captain at the state
hospital has set for himself next Sat
urday afternoon, weather permitting
Interest in the road running game,
which was at fever heat around Christ
mas, after Hilton hung up the new
figures, will take a new lease of life,
and without doubt Main street and
Broadway will be lined to see the hos
pita1 man finish.
Wicks comes to the front in the run
ming game as an interesting unknown
quantity, but he aims to duplicate Hill
toms route from the Y. NJ. c. A build
ing in one city to the other, and is full
of confidence that he can beat the fig
ures already established. He was for
merly a member of the association In
New London and did some running at
public appearance for a distance
event like this. That he will be no
stranger to the murderous hills to be
surmounted is indicated by his state
ment that he has already done the
long hike as he was the unknown run
ner who was seen doing it on Christ
mas morning, but who SO far has con-
cealed his identity.
In Training All Winter.
Ever since then he has allowed the
winter weather to interfere but little
with his training. and. he says he is
in splendid shape for the time trial.
Once this week he has done the run
from the hospital to Groton ferry, back
to Norwich, and down to the hospital
again. AS to the time made, he says
it is good enough to leave him no
fears that he will hold the record for
the road on the other side of the river
after Saturday.
Who Wants to Make the Pace?
AS Hilton had an automobile for
pacemaker, Wicl1s is also DESTROYS of
having the same help, and here's a
chance for some Norwich driver to
tender his machine for the trip The
trial is to be conducted under the SUI
pervision of Sporting Editor Whitney
of The Bulletin, who would like to
hear from any man with a machine
who would like to act as pacemaker.
Due announ cement of other officials
will be made. The time for the start
will be arranged SO as to finish here
about the middle or latter part OF the
afternoon.
