OCEAN-TO-OCEAN HIKE
COSTS WALKER $381.65
John H. Scott Breaks Record by
Covering Distance in 83
Days
It costs $68.35 to rldo from Son Francisco
to Philadelphia.
It costs $3S1.G5 to walk It.
Theso nro tho calculations of John IT.
Scott, n, boss houso painter, of 153 Trco
street, who, ns an amateur walker, arrived
In Philadelphia at 9:30 o'clock this morn
ing. 82 consecutive days after ho left San
Francisco, establishing a record for tho
3300-mllo hike.
For thoso who wonder why pcrsoni walk
nctois tho continent, Scott's answer Is: "I
did It for tho lovo of my friends In Phil
adelphia. I sacrificed my work nnd my
pay as a houso painter to prove to my
friends what I would do for them."
And so, for members of tho Southwark
Catholic Club, 103 Tasker street, who
financed tho Journey, Scott beat tho record
of Edward Pnyson Weston, who In his 73d
yenr walked the samo distance In 101 days
nnd 7 hours, and tho later record of John
Hnnls, who mado It In D3 days, 5 hours.
Scott 13 55 years old nnd weighs 130
pounds. Ho lost 10 pounds on tho hike,
losing an average of n pound a day, but re
gaining some of It In tho four hours of sleep
ho took nights.
"Thomas A. Hdlson only sleeps four
hours." said Scott, "rind that's all I need.
I took Sundays off for rest, bo that would
cut down my tlmo to 70 days."
Scott has scNcral times attempted to
lower other walking records. Ho holds the
Philadelphia to New York record, having
accomplished this walk In tho time of 21
hours 3G minutes 10 seconds, nearly seven
minutes less than the previous record. This
distance Is approximately 100 miles. Ho
aldo broke the Boston-WaBhIngton walking
record In 1914. Ho traversed this distance
In 8 days 5 hours and 37 minutes. Tho
previous record had been mado many years
before by Weston, who walked betweon the
two cities In 10 days.
