Winning Fifteen Hour Race in Lucas Hall—To Waterbury for a Big Six- Day Contest—Hines, the Yankee, Goes Bughouse—$20 for Running 280 | Miles—Delaney Race a Star Event for Waterbury. During the month of December, 1888, I entered a 15 hour race at Norwich (five hours a night) managed by John Mulholland. The entries were George Darrow of New London, John Gleason of Greeneville, Josh Mahoney of the Falls and myself. Therace was run in Lucas hall for gate recipts. Darrow was the favorite and thoughtt o be a sure winner. He and I ran a clo: when 1 began to slowly draw away, and at the end of flve hours I had cov- ered 341-2 miles, and was leading Gleason, who by a wonderful spurt had pa hour, by about a mil was half a mile behin After the first ni, ed down to a cor while Darrow Gleason. ght the race narrow- t between Darrow ore of 94 miles, roled up 87 mile: I remained at home after this race until March 15, 1889, when I went down to Ravenswood, L. and won a ten mile race for gate receipts, at Fitzger- ald's track. This ra was a financlal failure, the and I soon , while Darrow had left for Waterbur with a sporting man nam Smith, to enter a six-day (12 haurs race. Waterbury In 1889 was the busiest as well as ing town in Connecticut, and the in terest in long distance races at thal time was at fever heat. We arrived in Waterbury the day be- fore the race was to begin, and found everything In readiness and all the runners in town. near the rink, and formed the ac- quaintance of an eccentric Yankee from Bethel, named Hines, who had no trainer.and Smith also assumed charge of him, and we agreed to occupy the same quarters. Fourteen of us lined up for the start and as the clock struck 12 the band struck up a lively tune, and we were off, with George Cari ht taking the lead, followed closely by Conners, Dav- Hegelman, Elson, Norman, in sompany od Taylor, the ter,” myself and seven others. Hegelman and Cart wight alternated in the lead for miles, run in 50m., when Cart- wright left the track and did not re- turn. Hegelman, Davis, Conners and i »se company for 50 miles, after which Hegelman slowly increas- ed his lead, and at the end of the first 12 hours the score stood: Hegelman 753 les, Davis 72 miles 12 laps, Nolan 72.8, Conners 72, with ithe others far in the rear. Hines, who seemed to have taken some drug, ran all around the field during the last hour of the race, and went raving that night, dancing jigs and throwlng his shoes at imaginary ants on the walls of the room. We finally succeeded in quieting him, but the following day found him complete- ly exhausted and forced to.quit the race. I was also in rather poor con- dition, being stiff and sore, while my right foot was cut by my shoe, at the instep, and it peined me severely with every step I took. The fast pace for the first fifty miles had used up most of my reserve strength, as I was not accustomed to these long grinds, and had fooli followed the leaders too closely-.dur- ing the first day. I keut In the race, during the remaining fivi days, finishing in sixth place with a score of 280 miles, for which I received $20. After this race I remained In Wa- terbury to recuperate, and a few days after the race had ended Mike Burns, 158 pound champion of the state and one of the promoters of the race, came to see me and made me an offer of $12 & week to assist him as bartender in the saloon owned by Biily Perkins, near the N. Y. and N. E. raliroad de- pot. Perkins, who was the heaviest man in the state, weighing 450 pounds, bad contracted a cold during the race in the rink, and was confined to his room, over the saloon. I accepted the FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL hace for 20 miles, | d Darrow during the fifth | and mysell, and I finally won with a | the best sport-! We obtained a Toom | i D. NOLAN. | \ offer, and found it pleasant work, the saloon being a mode] one, and during my stay there 1 never saw an intixi- cated person in the place. Shortly aft- er going to work in the saloon Burns tried to arrange a ten mile race be- tween Cartwright and myself, but he declined the offer, and Burns then left the offer open to all, and it was ac- cepted by Tom Delaney of New York, who was then training for a ten mile race with Alex Miller of Philadelphia for $300 and the championship of America. ] was in fine condition for this race, having entirely recovered from the effects of the six day ra and felt stronger and more confident than at any period in my life, "shis race attracted a large audience, and the Waterbury American sald it was the most exciting race ever run in Watedbury. At the pisto] shot Delan- ey took the lead and made the pace a very fast one, the first mile being run in 6m. 10s. His evident intention was to run me to a standstill, but I was in) fine condition, and had little difficulty in following him for nine miles, when 1 took the lead, only to lose it again however on the next lap, and the en- tire last mile was a series of spurts, | as we passed and repassed each other, | while the hundreds of spectators be- | came frenzied and rose to their feet, | cheering and yelling like fiends, as we fought for the lead on the 18 lap track, With only two laps to run, Delaney held the lead by a yard, but in a whirl- nd rush on the last lap I got by and won by two yards in 57m. Ss. The race was a success and netted me about $75, while the le of Wa- terbury were very enthusastic over it, as I was then residing there, and I be- came very popular, and received num- erous invitations to dinners and social affairs, and soon became very well ac- quainted with many people. I enjoyed life in Waterbury as much as I had 1 NORWICH BULLETI'; SATURDAY FEBRU R‘Y 17, 1912 | TWENTY YLARS ON THE CINDER PATH formerly in New York.
