CHUM BOB'S SPORTING TALK.
New York, Feb. 6—(By Union As
sociated Press)—There is no reason
why a city the size of New York
should not be able to support more
than one arena of representative size.
It is true that Madison Square Gar
den has not been financial success, but
there are contributing causes, which
have been discussed too often for re
capitulation. Some regard it as be
ing too "high-brow," others as too
costly to permit the promoters to
come out with reasonable profit, etc.,
etc. Interest is therefore shown in
the plan of Tax Rickard to build a
stadium on the upper West Side of
the City, which it is predicted, will
seat about 30,000 persons. Rickard's
decision to build the stadium resulted
from his failure to secure Madison
Square Garden as a site for the bouts
he plans tb hold in this city, but the
structure will also be utilized for hold
ing various sporting events and will
not be ar boxing club exclusively.
Reports from Florida state that
there is a wonderful boom in golf in
that State this winter. Courses are
springing up on every hand. Not on
ly has every town of any size golf
links, but progress has reached such
a point that the courses are being
laid out in the wild lands ,and towns
immediately springing up around
them.
The new billiard association, which
it i* expected will seek to control am
ateur billiards in the West, at least,
and perhaps the entire country, is to
be known as the American Associa
tion of Amateur Billiard Players. The
present controlling body has the title
of the National Association of Ama
teur Billiard Players. Charles Heddon
of Dowagiac, Mich., who recently re
signed from the national association,
is the organizer of the new associa
tion in the West. He announces the
first tournament of the Western con
trolling body will be held sometime
this month, probably in Detroit. In
outlining the formation of the new
association, Mr. Heddon says that
playing in assembly halls, gymnas
iums and club rooms is not conducive
to good billiards. *
It is just come to light that a Cin
cinnati scout sent to a small town to
t
position in the game. After watching 1
the rookies beat it back to the minors
sign a semi-pro last Summer tied up
the wrong man. A star t of a semi
pro team was cutting a wide swarth
as an outfielder. The day the scout
arrived this man fifn't play, but the
scout signed the man who covered the

"I want to do a little shopping today.
Can you let me have $10?"
"No," answered the wily Jaggsby,

What Worried Him.
"Papa, dear," said the anxious
daughter, "you must not worry be
cause Harold is going to marry me and
take me far away from you and
mamma."
"Oh, a little thing like that isn't
going to worry me," replied the fond
parent, "but if he ever does anything
that will cause you to £ome back to
us again, I'll certainly do him bodily
injury."

"I have here," said the party with

his person into the editorial sanctum

"Huh!" growled the editor. "Noth

per? You certainly wouldn't expect
his mirth to slop over, would you?"

Horsemen in New York who are op
posing the plan of the State Racing
Commission to establish parimutuels
in New York declare that the mutuels
already are threatening to wipe out
racing in Maryland. A new track
owned by politicians will be construct
ed near Baltimore, and others may
follow. The enormous revenues from
machines at Laurel, Havre de Grace,
Bowie and Pimlico have aroused bit
tor opposition to the sport in that
State. Racegoers in Canada and
Maryland soon will be bankrupt.
They cannot stand the gaflf. Mutuels
in the state of New York in time
would kill racing all over the country.
