SORRY TO LOSE MURPHY.
Veterans of the Athletics Sorry He
 Has Left.

There is net a man on the Athletic club who dees not hate to see Danny Murphy go- For years the Athletics and Danny ahye been almost Synony- nous terms. The older players on the club are naturally the ones who are most affected by, or will be affected by the absence of the best right fielder that ever donned the glove or strolled to the plate in the pinch Danny Is today able to hit the ball with all his eld-t time abandon, but whether he will knee is another question, and 1t was that which prevented his being with the White Elephants this season. Since StHffy Mclnnis has been at first for the Athletics, Danny Murphy has been the captain of the Mackmen. He suc- ceeded Davis, one of the greatest and brainiest baseball players that ever lived.
 Danny proved his value to the Ath- lettcs in every way, and it Is with re- gret that the fans witness the time when it is time for him to go. Nat urally baseball player cannot go on forever. His departure from his club Is as inevitable as death itself. and must be.
 Personally, there was never a man on any club who was more universal ly admired than Danny Murphy. He was the essence of sportsmanship, never did or said anything onsthe field which would reflect either on himself or his club. He was always heart and soul for his work and his manner. and with his departure from the Athletics goes one who in every sense of the word can be called man.

 A week later I was surprised to see a whole column in a state paper con- taining the announcement of my re- turn to the track. l regarded this as a joke, but when two weeks later articles of a similar nature appeared in The Bulletin and Record I began to re- gard it as more serious, and when a few days later a. representative of the New London County Agricultural SO ciety called on me and requested me to meet the sOciety's officials began to believe l was in for it once more.
 I saw Mir. Ring the following day and then had an interview with MT. Greenman, whom l found to be a Wor- rington. Arrangements were made in a few minutes, being mutually satis- factory.

 There is probably no man in the world of 50 years of ago who can equal this feat.'
 Hard work on the farm, as we'll as a fondness for long walks, had kept me in pretty good shape, and I felt I could do it. So two days later I went tS the fair grounds and ran a quarter mile easily in Inn. los. Not satisfied with doing well, I ran a trial three days later in 53s and by oversteding strain ed tendon so badly that I could not rua at all. 1t was a very serious mat ter, but it had a cemical side, fer while I was unable to run a step four days before the race the press agent was confidently announcing every day in the papers that would surely break the record.

BREAKING THE RECORD AT 50.

The Marathon craze swept the coun- try few years ago. A few distance runners made a fortune and embryo champions zprang uo over night like mushrooms.
 The young men of Taftville, like those of other places. became infected with the craze, and the PaStime Ath- letio club was formed with some 20 m erabeFs The boys requested me to assist them in training, and 1 soon be- came interested and found myself en- toying long walks and ruBs with them, and was surprised by the condition in which I found myself. Three of thesS boys soon displayed marked ability, Tommy Hendrck, in particular, train ing faithfully. and surprised the whole college world by winning nearly all the distance races at Yale in his freshman year.
 A Benoit and John Nolan, Jr., also won a number of local races and rrlzes and had such a habit of winning all the prizes in the distance races at the Baltic games that they were finally not allowed to compete. In December of that year C1e1e) we decided to walk from TaftV:lIe to New London and re- turn, to see what we could do at the distance. l was accompanied by Tommy HsBdriDk and w l.. White, d walker of no mean ability, and we coN- cred the distance of S4 miles in hours anl It minutes.
 Daring the summer of 1909 I was surprised and greatly pleased by a visit of the famous eX-champioR walk er Dan O'Leary. who was then as lively as a boy at the age of 67 years. He informed me that he was on his way to Chicago to try and arrange a race with Weston, whom he had al ways defeated. Weston declined to meet him, however and O'Leary went to Cincinnati, O., where he walked l 1,e99 miles in 1,00e hours.
 He held the worlds championship for many years, and it is said that he won more than S100,o00 on the track. O'Leary defeated Weston in three six day matches, his greatest race being when he defeated him in London, Eng land, April to ,. 1877, for S5.ee9 a side. In this race he walked 520 miles while Weston covered 510 miles.
 Both men are wonderful examples of the beneficial effects of walking.
