Hilton Girls Back Home
for Vacation Before
Going to Chicago.

The little elephant at Breckenridge
Park zoo doesn't readily make friends.
He is inclined to be a bit exclusive
and to stand off in his own corner,
rather disdainfullJ accepting the ad-
miration of the crowds.
But Monday afternoon things were
different.
He met two girls TO his liking.
They were Violet and Daisy Hill
ton, San Antonio's own Siamesc twins.
They were home for a few days vaca-
ton and decided the newly acquired
elephants in Breckenridge Park should
be on their first sightseeing tour.
Onlookers thought the elephants and
the San Antonio girls must be old
friends, so cordial was the greeting.
But it was the first time they had
met.
Violet and Daisy are visiting their
manager and guardian, Myer Myers,
on the Fredericksburg road. They will
be here several days. They arrived
Sunday night from New Orleans and
will go to Chicago from San Antonio.
The Hilton twins have made san
Antonio their home since 1915, when
they came here from Australia. They
we're born in Brighton, England, and
are IL gears old.
They have just closed a season in
the East and will resume their work
in Chicago.
The twins, according to Mr.. Myer.
enjoy the outdoor recreations which
please other girls. such as golf, ten
mis-. swimming and similar sports.
Recently" Mr.. Myers said, "they
have become crossword puzzle fiends,
and eagerly grab every paper that con-
tains a puzzle"

Especial TO The KennebeC JournaD
Waterville, Jan. Gin a game
that was even more than the score
indicates, the Juniors defeated the
Freshmen in an interclass hockey
match this afternoon on the Coburn
rink. Ellis, the latest addition to
the hockey forces. was in his glory
and he had q field day. No doubt
he would have tailed many more
times than he did If he had been
content to shoot from quarter ice or
mid-rink but he chose to dribble into
close quarters and was prevented
from scoring by the defense men.
Druehl was drafted from the
Sophomore ranks to play center ice
for the Freshmen, but he only played
two periods, owing to the fact that
basketball practice was being held
Coombs was another leading factor
in the Junior attack and he was es-
pecially alert in following up shots
He scored two goals on rebounds.

Marvellous Nurmi
Breaks Records

from the old mark Ray established
in 1919. Nurmi concluded his n
precedcnted sweep when he broke
the tape in the 5000 meter event in
lila 80, which bettered by ten sec
onds the record Ray hung up in 1923.
On mis- way to this mark, however.
Nurmi failed by seconds to equal
the three mile record which Ritola
set in 1923 at 14.15 40.
Nurmis astonishing feat, in which
he removed any last lingering doubt
Of his ability to flash under any con-
Cltions ana at all times the marvel
Gus speed he showed in winning four
olympic triumphS six months ago,
was the climax to the Finnish
American A. C. ira & and field car
niVal in which seven worlds per-
formances altogether were hung up.
Loren Murchison, sprinting ace of
the Newark A. c., shared a major
portion of the nights laurels when
he sped to new worlds sprint marks
at 80 meters, 900 yards and 250 mo
tiers, while Allan Helffrich, Pen.1
State flier, accounted FOR the seventh
worlds record when he established
a new mark for 500 meters.
Nurmi decisively conquered his
countryman, Willie Ritola, in the
finishing exhibition of his epic per
Torrance and clipped ten seconds
from the worlds record for 5000
meters set by joe Ray in 1910.
Nurmis time was 1444 3-5.
In his previous race, NIrmi not
only broke the worlds indoor mile
record but was announced as shat
terinG the 1900 meter mark on his
way to triumph.
Nurmi, however, so far overshad-
owed all else that these sterling per-
formances We're almost forgotten in
the brilltance of the flying Firms
achievement, which stands as the high
water mark for indoor athletic com
petition
Nurmfs astonishing times were no
less remarkable than the ease with
which he conquered his opposition. In
the mile he apparently had plenty in
reserve, as he led Ray to the finish by
three yards in spite of the fact that
the little Chica goan ran the greatest
indoor mile race of his career and him
self finished three-ffths Of a second
inside his own former worlds record.
Again, in the 5000-meter race Nurmi
followed Ritola's pace for most of the
long journey. but shot to the front two
laps from the finish and widened to
fully p yards the gap separating him
from his countryman at the finish.
The mile was the most spectacular

Walker Gets His
Big Chance Tonight
Against McTigue

New York, Jan. 6.-(By A. P.)-
Mickey Walker, worlds welterweight
champion. will climb two steps out
of his class tomorrow night when
he meets Mike McTigue, worlds
light heavyweight champion, in a L.
round no-decision match in the
Newark armory.
The welter king has everything to
gain and nothing to lose in this
match. BY knocking out McTigue
or winning on a foul, Walker can
capture the 175 pound crown. On
the other hand, a knockout victory
for McTigue would still leave Walker
king of the lat Founders, as the
light heavyweight champion is not
eligible for the welterweight divi-
sion.
In the 10-round semi-finaI match
Bobby Barrett of Philadelphia will
meet Jack Rappaport of Newark.
