SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald
Baltimore, Md, Jan. 2-Plans TO make
the next three months the greatest for
indoor athletics Baltimore has ever
known have been brought to an abrupt
halt by the refusal of the trustees OF the
Fifth Regiment Armory to allow its use
for athletic games.
This refusal may Put a stop 10 all in
door athletics in iris city this winter.
or it may be modifed to allow the regi-
ment TO give one or two meets, bat at
the best the indoor athletic season has
received practically a knockout blow.
The trouble has arisen over an injunc-
ton sought by the United Halls Asso-
citation Of this city TO prevent the Fourth
Regiment Armory being used for any
other than military purposes. The trus-
tees Of the Fifth Regiment, fearing that
similar suit would be directed against
them, have decided to anticipate such
action. and cut of the use of the Fifths
armory for any but military purposes.
Big Season Planned.
Encouraged by the success Of the in
door games held last season, the various
local athletic clubs and associations be-
gan laying very ambitious plans many
weeks ago. In fact, indoor meets were
in sight for every two weeks-something
unheard Of in Baltimore before-from
about the middle Of this month to the
middle Of April For the first time IN
many years the Baltimore Athletic Club
intended holding an indoor meet. and
the promoters OF what would have been
the largest jEiut indoor meets had fully
made up their minds 10 bring to Baitl-
more the greatest amateur athletes OF
the country either to take actual part in
competitions or TO give exhibitions OF
their ability One of these was 10 have
been Longboat. the Indian runner. whose
speed has given him such prominence all
over Canada and the United States dur
ing the past year.
But 1t seems as If all Of these ambl-
tious plans have been knocked in the
head. There is 10 floor surface in BaIti-
more that can compare with the Fifth
Regiment ATmory. which is larger and
better for athletic purposes than even
the famous Madison Square Garden. in
New York. 1t is case Of armory or
nothing. and at present it seems to be
nothing.
The announcement that II viii be i'm
possible TO hold any big indoor meets IN
Baltimore this winter viii cause universal
regret among the field and track athletes
Of Washington. With the Baltimore meets
Cancelled local athletes will center their
efforts In making the three sets of games
at Convention Hall successful.

Attel held hack In several rounds,
when his admirers were yelling like mad
for him to follow up what appeared most
advantageous openings. He never took a
decided lead. and when he finished one
round with lead he stalled in the fol-
lowing session and permitted Moran to
even up the score.
Il Is pointed out that in the opening
rounds AtteH boxed carefully, that he
might decide for himself just how good
the Englishman was. and that thereafter
he was content to keep the mill even.
