Walker Too Busy With Bay State Engagement to Heed TaftviIle Chai- lences-Cjerilg Plan Outing.

Referring to the double challenge + the Bulletins Taftvle ner.5 and that Walkers speciality is the 22O yard dash, Walkers manager states that Walker is also 6 long distance run ner, and is not ready to accept challenge at present as he is booked to meet q runner of fame, who re- sides in the Bay state.
 The event is to take place sometime in September. Walker is doing but little road work, his traiEs..S consists of one half hour spent in the cluE gymnasium each day as has been his custom since residing here. He is ill the best Of condition, and hIs train CTS expect to see the Baltic speed king beat his present record.
 Walkers supporters believe in the old adage that still water runs deep, and are not ready to state the exact time Walker can do a mile in. Walker has not lost interest in TaftVille, but is confident that he can put Bal. tic on the honor list OL runners. Local people believe that Walker will run the Bay state boy off his feet, and will break the tape q number of seconds in advance of his opponent. Then he will give some of his Eastern ConneC- ticut challengeTs a chance 70 prove their ability on the cinder path.
