The Highway FoOtpath Case Committee Has Not Yet Filed a Report With
 Governor

The state highway footpath com mission which was expected to re- port to the governor on May 1 has not yet been heard from, and is said not to have held meeting at all. The committee is scheduled to meet to-morrow with a view to for mulating report. It is not neces-
 sary to make any investigatio. Everybody who travels thruogh Con- necticut knows the risk to life and limb on the improved highways of the state, so that no member of the general assembly can cay he is ig- norant of the situation.
 The use, of the term sidewalk" makes what is asked for bigger job than it really is. All that is needed is curb and a few feet of cinder path which would give pedes- trians some measure of safety on the highways.

WALKER RECALLS TOUGHEST BREAK
 OF RING CAREER

,Orangebnrg, N. Y., July 1O.-After hard training spree to-day Walker sat in with the boys and recounted some of his funny experiences. The best yarn he unfolded concerned the cancellation of the Benny Leonard match several years ago. Mickey and Benny were tentatively signed. The bout undoubtedly would have drawn half a million dollars.
 Mickey visualized $100,O00 or more for his lend" so he started to spend like a drunken sailor. He didn't have much cash but he could borrow.
 All Of A Sudden
 Mickey put down part payment on a yacht and then borrowed $1O,- 900 to build a camp. Everything went along lovely until one fine day he was notified the fight had been cancelled. For what reason? None of your bushes, so to speak.
 Mickey was fit to be tied but he couldn't do anything about it. He had to blow the few shekels he threw | in for the yacht, and the camp was | as good as gone. Dead broke, sore ana what not MlCkey nau tO tdke anything that came along.
 He was offered $25,000 to fight Bobby Barrett, a tough 'un in Phila | delphia. In those days he was his own manager. Of course, he accept ed, but because the match couldn't or wouldn't draw the promoters l chopped him down to $10.0O0. The fight was a whizz bang and Mickey had to knockout Bobby colder than the proverbial mackerel. That's how tough Bobby was. The ten grand put | him back in the black and he hasn't been in the red ever since
