Horse Outwalks
Man With Ease
LEBANON, July 25.-W) Just
In case you ever want to settle
an argument or win a bet on the
subject a horse can outwalk a
man.
The question was settled hero
last night with a six-year-old sor
rel gelding finishing 14 miles In
front of . the ; "walking man of
Oregon" In a 75-mlle walkathon
at Lebanon Meadows track.
Big", Reds, owned and ridden
by Ralph ' Smith, Linn county
rancher, covered the distance In
14 hours and 40 minutes. The
horse took an early lead over
hiker Paul Smith, 64-year-old
Mill City resident, and steadily
widened the gap.
They started together at 6 a.m.
About '200 paid to see the fete
sponsored by the Santlam wran
glers. Smith, who walked In a trans
continental walking contest In
the early '20s, still had 14 miles
to go when the horse finished.
Smith didn't walk them.
