Clips "a Second From For
mer Record of l:57M
for / Mile at Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. % (By The
Associated Press. ).--Peter Manning,
driven by Tommy Murphy, to-day not
cnly lowered his record Of 1:TM in a
trial against time. but also broke the
worlds trotting record and reduced the
trotting record of the Columbus Driving
Park track, which until to-day stood
at t:59A. His time for the mile was
i:57. The former worlds record, held
by Peter Manning, was 1:57a.
Paced by a runner. Peter Manning
went to the quarter in 0:295a, to the
half in 0:58% and to the three quar-
ters in 1:271a Just before he reached
the wire he went into a break, thus
possibly slowing down his time.
The record performance of the trot-
ter was practically the only feature
addition to driving the fastest trotting
mile on record, Murphy was behind two
winners in two other events. He drove
Margaret Dillon to straight heat vic
tory in the William $4,000 Stake for
2.03 PAGERS. She outclassed the field
and paced the middle mile in 2.00A
Plain Mac, second choice in the first
division of the 2.l8 trot. was driven
by Murphy to another straight heat
victory, nosing out BinQue, the ia
vorite, in each mile. Peck Direct, IA
vorite in the 2:13 pace, broke soon
after the word was given in the first
heat and was distanced. The event
went 70 Peter Daphne, winner of the
last two heats. The first went to Lady
Todd.
Valentine drove Peck Direct in the
first heat and Peter Daphne in the
last two miles.
Valentine had another winner in Et-
tawise in the second division of the
2:18 trot. Atlantic Star, winner Of the
first heat, was distanced in the second.

iHiS afternoon ct IS % CLOCK, on Cocn-
ran Field, there will be a special game
between the full. Argentine team and
All-lreland, with no admission charged.
Tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 O'clock
the iinal match will ba played, with East
cott meeting Louis t. Stoddard's fast
Shelburne House four On Monday
afternoon, at the same hour, there will
oe a special match, the teams to be an
nounced on Monday morning, and on
Wednesday and Saturday Of next week
the climax of the season will be cele-
brated with the two special mntches
between, the Meadow Brook big Four"
composed of L. E. Stoddard, Thomas
Hitchcock jr., j. Watson Webb and
Argentine team, composed of David
Miles, John Miles, Jack Nelson and Cap
tain Lewis L. Lacey.
1t may have been the chilling winds
that swept across the Westbury plains
yesterday and whist!ed a dirge through
the framework of Jimmy Fosters big
stands, or it may have been that lovers
of the game were holding back until
the final match tomorrow. No matter
what the cause, the size of the crowd
that saw yesterdays game was not ',y
any means worthy of the splendid ex-
hibition put up by men and ponies.
More than once spectators stood up
in their seats and thrilled at par
ticularly mad bit of riding or cheered
when some one shot out from a fierce
scrimmage and started racing down the
field toward the goal hell for leather"
Major Lockett Stars
For Major Vivian N. Lockett, captain
of the Eastcott four, it was dav Of
triumph. The great British interna-
tional, playing the back position yes
terday, was the outstanding figure on
the field. 1t brought back to mind the
days before the war, when, as q mem
ber of the Hurlingham four, Major
Lockett was one of the worlds leaders
at the game.
Yesterday the British army officer,
besides scoring three of the goals made
by Eastcott, was ever power, both
on defense and offense. More than
once he and Milburn clashed, pony to
pony, on the field, as they struggled
for possession of the bali or sought
to defend the goal position, and it was
Lockett who generally came off with
the honors in these duels.
The Eastcott back was. superbly
mounted, for one thing, and this
helped him materially. His ponies
flung the feetest hoofs on the field
and always seemed to welcome a chal-
lenge from rival, and Lockett was
figure not soon to be forgotten, as he
fairly flew up, down and across the
turf, sometimes carrying the ball up
for a shot at the Meadow Brook goal
and again warding off the most des-
perate assaults of the Meadow Brook
forwards as they charged for the East
cott posts.
Not alone in superb horsemanship
did Major Lockett shine, but also in
his stick work, some of his smashes
carrying great distances down the field,
and his cut shots to the side boards
when the Eastcott goal was threatened
were masterpieces of their kind Verify,
the Britisher was a team unto himself,
and, for the first time this season on
American fields, in his real interna-
tional form.

COUPLE SEEKS

OPEN ROAD
Newport Reporter Gets
Interesting Story from
HikerS

Mr.. and Mrs. Mahey of Newark,
N. j., with faces almost as brown
as the khaki suits which they
wore, but with no evidence of ia
tigue from their twenty-five mile
hike arrived in Newport last even
ing.
They are walking in search of
health and by their looks they
have found what they sought.
This trip which the couple have
undertaken will cover when they
finally return to their home in
New Jersey, between eighteen and
nineteen hundred miles.
The Caledionian-Record report
er, trailer them to the Hurst res
taurant and as they slowed away
a generous platter of beefsteak
smothered in onions, baked pota-
toes, liver and bacon, with a few
other appetizing trifles on the
side listened to the interesting des-
cliption of their travels.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Mahey were
threatened with lung trouble and
were advised TO get out of doors.
They went to Cincinnati, and
while there conceived the idea of
walking back. They had not the
means for the expensive Sanltorl-
um treatment and resolved to take
the "open road"
Mrs. Mahey like her husband
donned the khaki uniform, am
untrammelled by skirts steps of
as free and unhampered as her
husband. They carry with them d
small pup tent, and such small
supplies as arc necessary. In
stormy weather they seek the
shelter of a barn or some out
building and at times are kindly
cared for by the Salvation Army
in towns they pass through.
The first trip covered 1869 miles
and on June 18th, they started
from Newark to New York, fol
lowing up the Hudson to Port
Henry, to Burlington, on through
Morrisville, Waterford, Portland
Bangor, Oldtown, to DlXville
Notch, Cannan, and then over the
line to Hereford, Can. They walk
cd from Norton Mills yesterday
and as a rule tramp from 22 to
25 miles a day, sometimes they
have walked IS miles.
Their friend and "buddic' a big
German police dog named Jerry
seemed to enjoy the life also. He
walked up at intervals for stray
bits which came his way, for at
is share and share alike with u
and Jerry" said Mrs. Mathey.
Mr.. Mathey is an engraver by
trade and expects to be able to
return to his work this fall. They
carried letter from the Deputy
Director of Public Affairs of New
ark, Elmer A. Day, which certified
to the genuinencsa Of their claims
Their experiences are not alWayr
pleasant, nor do they find people
in general gracious but consider
it a wonderful way to study hui
man nature.

NOTORIOUS
SMUCCLER
SAWS WAY
FROM JAIL

Before daybreak this morn
ing, four prisoners effected
their escape from Orleans iail
at Newport and are now at
large. With Joseph Roberge, a
notorious Chinaman smuggler, was
ring leader the quartet made their
escape by saving the iron bars
/ which had kept them from their
freedom.
The other three men who cs-
capped are Max Bawner, who oc-
cupied the same cell as did Rob-
erge, William Auger, and Elzear
Carrier. Hack saws which had
been secreted in Roberge's cell
were used. Roberge is said to
have first sawed the iron bars that
enclosed him in his cell. Once out
in the corridor with his companion,
Bawner, he sawed the bars that
permitted egress to an outside
window.
William Auger and Elzear Car
rier were not locked in their cells
and joined koberge and Bawner
when they had released themselves
from their own cell. Then Rob-
erge, it is said, hacked away at
the bars over an East window that
opened out toward the Post
office building. Finally the bars
over the window were sawed and
pulled apart and all four men made
their way to freedom.
The alarm was given by Charles
Cote, himself a prisoner. He shout
ed until the break was discovered.
Cote could have made his escape
with the quartet but refused to go|
with them. He is serving a 30|
days sentence.
Frank E. Kinney, acting chief of
police at Newport in the absence|
of Ora A. SWEET, who is away on|
his vacation, made the rounds soon|
after 100 o'clock but did not dis
cover any effort to escape.
1t was the second attempt of
Roberge to effect his freedom by
foiling his jailers. He is notorious
