PARK GUEST CHAMBER
 OF HOBO PHILOSOPHER
Foot Tourist Spends Two Days Visiting New
 Britain

For the past two nights New Brit ain has unofficially entertained an IuusuaI visitor. Walnut Hill park provided the guest chamber and the streets of the city furnished his di- version. The public library supplied the visitor with such entertainment as he desired.
 Quietly the hobo philosopher, as he calls himself, entered the city Wednesday night with his earthly belongings in q pack on his back. Encountering a policeman opposite the library he inquired of the officer where q wayfarer might camp and was directed 10 the park. On the grass sward, under friendly tree, Roger Payne, B.A., LIB, spent two comfortable nights, contended with life and unmolested. In the heart of a great industrial city the philoso- hher reverted from civilization to the primitive life
 New Britain was one stop in the sixth cross country trip of this unique man who has spent his time since 1917 in travelling on foot over the United States. This year Payne spent the winter in New York city, hut with the coming of warm weather the wanderlust broke out afresh and he is now on the first lap of a long trip which will take in New England before he moves west ward
 His first journey covered 5000 miles and took him from Boston to Los Angeles. This occupied eight months and like all of his subse- Tent trips, was accomplished en- tirely on foot. MT. Payne spurns aiI invitations to ride in automobiles and unlike other hobos, never steals rides on freight trains.
 The return trip from California | was started in June and ended in New York in the following autumn i time was spent in the National Parks en route. and the reached a point, as far south as Fort Meyers, Florida

speed and roundhouse curve. His

The Yankees expect Alexander to

With the bases full a double play was

short center We're good, ,for another
tally that matched the one the Cards
had gathered in the seventh.
But Sherdel was directly responsible
for the trouble that came in the tenth.
With Koenig on first as the result of
a single to left. Ruth first looked at
throw wide Of the plate, then twice
bunted foul in attempting to sacri-
fee. Thus Sherdel was in a good posi-
ton to pitch to the Bambino, who
earlier in the fray had not bothered
the little left-hander at all. But s;her-
del cut loose q wild heave that moved
koenig to the middle station and gave
the batter q fair break with the pitch
err.
Wild Pitch Hurt Sherdel.
That wild pitch hurt Sherdel in
that he could not afford to give the
fence buster anything good to swing
against, for q single probably would
mean a run that would put the Yanks
in the van with only half inning to
go.
And Sherdel kept the next two
pitches so far from the plate that
Ruth walked. Bob Meusel's fine sacri-
flee followed and the ST. Louis south
paw was In worse predicament.
Hoping to get out with the aid of
his supporting talent, Sherdel purpose
ly passed Gehrig and filled the bases.
That set the stage for a possible dou
BILE play. Instead of grounding to the
infield LaZzeri sent Southworth far
back for a fly ball and Koenig got
home easily after the catch.
Though the Yankees made Sherdel
toll overtime all the way, they had to
do a deal of work themselves to get
anywhere. In attack, they were the
same Yankees that performed with
such forced effort during the Ameri-
can League championship campaign.
To get their three runs in the scor-
ing innings they had to send to bat
20 men. Seven Yanks stepped to the
plate in the sixth, when they got their
first tally, six went up in the ninth,
when they registered the tying run.
and seven faced Sherdel in the tenth,
when the decisive marker was put
