SPORTOGRApHY

Recent attempts to revive interest in walking as a sport, and which will lead to the inclusion of pedestrianism in the program of the next Olympic games, recalls an era when hiking contests .were immensely popular on
 both sides of the Atlantic. The walk ing fever as it was called at the time, began about forty years ago
 The first feminine "hiker'' to engage in a match against time was an Eng
 lishwoman, Miss Richards. It was just thirty-nine years ago. on May IS.
 1874. that she set out to walk a thous- and miles in as many consecutive days. Her feat aroused a spirit of
 emulation among women on both
 sides of the Atlantic, but her record
 held good until 1878, when Bella St.
 Clair, also English, covered thou
 sand miles in $50 hours. So far as
 known, this record still stands, so far
 as fair pedestrians are concerned.
 The first man to walk 1000 miles
 in as many hours was Capt. Barclay, an English soldier, who turned the
 trick in 1909, winning wagers of sev-
 eral thousand pounds. A couple of
 years later Thomas Standen, who had
 passed the three score mark in years,
 walked 1 100 miles in I 100 hours. The
 hiking spirit then died out for a time, but was revived by Edward Pay
 son Weston Weston's first notable
 feat was to cover oOO miles In i've
 days, twenty-three hours and thirty four minutes, at Newark, N. J., in 1874. Weston then went to England, where he defeated William Perkins, the champion hiker of Great Britain,
 but a few years later was defeated by O'Leary, an Irishman, in a six-day walking match for $5,o00. O'Leary covered 520 miles, ten miles more l than Weston. Six day walking match
 es then became immensely popular.
 The Astley belt was hung up as a trophy, and was first won by O'Leary,
 who walked 52o71 miles at London in 1878. The next six-day match for the belt was staged in New York, and was won by Rowell, who walked 500
 miles. In 1879 Weston went to Lon don and captured the belt by cover ing $50 miles. The following year, in a match for the pedestrian cham pionship of England, Brown was the victor with 553 miles to his credit. Hart beat this record in New York 1 the same year, doing 565 miles for | the O'Leary belt, and in 1882 Hanzel l set new mark, 500 miles.
 Ed Walsh. the well known slab ar 1 tist of the Chicago White Hosiery az gregation, was born in Pennsylvania thirty-two years ago today, May 19, 1881, and began his career in the equally well known coal mines of that great State. Miners in those days only had to work dozen hours or so down in the nice, damp earth, and then had

the remainder of the day to do as they pleased-to go driving, or play golf. or tennis. or baseball. Walsh chose baseball as his favorite pastime, and, after his days toll was over, used to motor out regularly to the country club, and play ball with his fellow miners. Things went. along in this way, with Big Ed playing ball just for sport, until he had passed his twenty
 first milestone. It was in 1909 that Walsh was given a chance to make good in professiona1R ball with the League. He looked so good that the Newark, N. J.. club took him over. and in 1904 Old Roman Comiskey called him up higher. Walsh has been wearing white hosiery ever since. He made good with the Chicago fans ear until the White Sox rooters were call ing him the greatest pitcher in the world.''
 Ed says he pitched the game of his life on July 4, 1902, when he was still a miner. On that day and date Walsh was offered two bones to twirI for the Downingtown. Pa, amateur team, in cient baseball rival. Downingtown had been walloped regularly by Win chester in the annual Fourth of July contests for a dozen years, and it was up to Ed to turn the tide. The finish of that historic game, according to Ed, was just like those you read about in the magazine stories. Downing town entered the ninth inning with & one-run lead. Breathless exctteme mt held the populace spellbound. Win chester is at bat for the last chance. It is up to Ed to hold the hated enemy runless. Steady, now. old fellow, This fellow is easy. Bing! A single Never mind, Ed, they can't do 1t again. Bang! And now the Down. ingtown leftfielder drops an easy fly. Wow. The bases are full, nobody out. But, hark; what Is this? The crowd is yelling like mad. A rabbit-a little animal with a left kind foot, as well as three others, races across the field, and drops, exhausted, directly in front of Walsh. It is an omen-a lucky omen! Ed fans the next man up, and the next, and the next. Three out, and the three on bases lie down and croak on their pillows. And Ed says now it was the rabbit that did it.

"'MARY'S LAMB

The coming attraction at the
Elks Theatre, Sunday, Sept. 14th
will be William Pfirrmann s pro-
duction Of Richard Carries great
est musical comedy, Mary s
Lamb" with It's Partisan flavor,
its humorous dialogue and It's
many sparkling musical gems.
In sending this famous musical
! comedy here, Mr.. Pfirrmann has
! taken great care III the selection
of a cast and chorus that would
rival the original Garlic company.
In this undertaking he has en-
gagged the following cast:
Den McGrath who IS beng
featured in the role of Leander
Lamb. is a. well known Anglo
American comedian and vaude-
| vile headliner, who was featured
in Europe in "The Seminary
Girl and "Mary's Lamb, !"
known over there as Nine.
Mongodin. He is eminently
fitted to exemplify the American
brand of humor, which is at its
best in this offering. This will
be Mr.. McGrath's first trip
South; heretofore he has ap-
peared only in The East and
West.
For the leading female role Of
Sylvia. an actress must have a
beautiful voice, strong person
atty. besides she must be of O.
"Junoesque' type, each of which
Miss Bertha Woman possesses IN
the fullest measure. Miss Ieo-
man was formerly prima donna
at the LaSalle Opera House, Chi
lcagO.
For Sylvester Q. Nightingale,
the negro servant, the manage
ment were lucky in securing Wiz
liam Cameron. Mr.. Cameron IS
comedian of twenty years eX-
| perience with such well known
stars as Weber & Fields, Eddie
Foy, Jas. T. Powers, Lillian Rus
sell, Dan DAILY and Edna May,
beides being with Geo. W. Led
erer in all of his New York Ca
sino Theatre productions. For
the past three years he has played
his original creation, that OF
Philippe in the New York cont
pany of madame Sherry. "
Florence Guise who plays Mrs,

considerable experience and abll-
ley; for the past three seasons
she has supported Jas. I. Powers

East Bacon Rouge is going to

two years the local agent Of the

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-
TON.

The extraordinary session OF
the Louisiana Legislature con-
vened for the purpose of calllns
limited constitutional conven-
ton to provide means OF refund
ing the State debt and of pre-
serving the States credit, Is
working tremendously to that
end and already, October 2Sth
has been selected and designated
AS the date of election OF the
delegates to the convention.
The task before these delegates
is all important and will demand
a full knowledge Of the fiscal at
fairs of the State as well as ii.
nanciering ability in no small
measure. Let the delegate from
Iberia be a representative one
Let him be of calible to shed
luster on the Parish. There are
men who possess every quallfica,
tion and who would gladly serve
if it We're possible to do so with,
out indulgence in political con-
fleet. Let us for the once forget
differences and unite in selecting
worthy man, one in whom the
whole Parish may repose the
fullest confidence and be assured
that his services will be rendered
for the greatest good Of the
whole State. We have him. Let
us send him to the Convention.
We understand a model hoe
and stock raising farm will be
operated by Mr.. John Schwing
and DR.. J. Arthur Goodwin, the
veterinarian, on the country place
of Mr.. Schwing near Little Fausse
Pointe. These gentlemen have
purchased some Of the best grad
ed hogs they could find and will
engage in that line of business on
a wholesale scale. With DR.
Goodwin 8 knowledge of live
stock we have reason to believe
they will make a success of their
undertaking.

ONE NEGRO TO HANG, THE
OTHER RESPITED.

Next Friday the 18th inst, has
been designated by Governor
Hall as the day for the execution
of Harris Wyatt, the negro con-
Wet adjudged guilty of the muir
der of the Italian convict at the
last term of Court. This appears
to have been a cruel, premeditat-
ed crime offering not a single eX-
cuse. Following dispute dur
ing the day over task al which
the two were engaged, the con-
victs retired to adjoining cots al
night, the negro awaited until
his companion was asleep to
plunge a knife in him AID cut
him unto death. Already serving
life sentence for an equally
atrOciCus murder, this untort-
innate criminal has little hopes
for the exercise Of clemeLcy III
bis behalf.
The other negro, Sam VI llllamS,
who also had been con iemned
and whose execution was set for
the same day, has throu IN the
good offices of Rev. Fathe. Lang
lois, been granted reprieve until
Nov. q by which time it Is hoped
to have his sentence commuted
to life Imprisonment. The CRIME
for which he was convict I'd oc-
cured over eight years a"o near
Loreauville and was the Sc
ouence of a series of fisticutfs with
negro named Gardiner whose
reputation as bully was well es-
tablished in his neighborhOod
These encounters always resulted
in tn defeat of Williams who tire
ing Of this treatment, sought re
venge with his evil weapon. Not
flying his enemy Of his intentions,
he went for his gun, returned and
shot his man. Escaping immed-
lately, Williams went to New Or
leans where he lived for eight
years unsupported Of crime I'M
til pointed out by an acqualnt-
ance to the City Police as a fugi-
tive from Iberia Parish. He was
arrested and returned here for
his trial with the above results.
The doomed Wyatt will be TAX
en- to Baton Rouge within the
next few days to await his ex-
ecution which will take place
within the penitentiary walls as
prOyided for by law.

ABUSE OF PUBLIC ROADS.

Our attention has been called
to the practice INDUCED annually
by many of our planters who,
taking advantage of long wet
spells which preclude field work,
place their teams on the public
roads to haul their winter sup
ply of wood, coal and other
heavy material. The rains of the
past week have offered oppor-
tunities for the indulgence OF
this practice which have not
been overlooked by the planters.
During the summer months,
much work was done by the Po-
lice Jury on the Parish roads with
the result that all were in good
condition and held out promises
of easy traffic throughout the
fall and winter months when
their use is of greatest need, this
heavy tests to which have recent
ly been put, however, have rutted
and torn them to degree which
will prevent repairs which the
limited revenues of the Parish
forbid. WhileI the roads are
public thoroughfares dedicated
to the use Of all, their desecra-
ton by few should not. be per-
mittod. Almost avery winter
trade Conditions are disturbed
by the impossible conditions Of
the roads and it would be, not
6nly-a fair, but an economic
proposition which should lead
the farmer to cooperate with the
Police Jury in its efforts to pro-
vide good roads.
The present harvesting requires
the incessant use of all roads by
heavily laden wagons, and in
another month, sugar grinding
will call for still harden service
which should induce efforts for
their perseverance instead Of
abuse. We recall the hardships
imposed by the bad weather OF
last year when half loads only
were possible and when all travel
save that which was compulsory
was suspended for weeks. The
attending were de-
plorable and from every quarter
came complaints and abuse OF
the roads maintenance system of
iberia Parish. To guard against
the repetition of these conditions,
the Police Jury have devoted
their efforts and energies this
wear and are now asking the as
sistance Of those most interested.
That this assistance and co-opera-
t;on should be extended them is
manifestly just and we hope and
trust that it will be extended IN
fullest measure by the planters
