The arena itself will be divided in
side by two temporary wire fences,
which will apportion the Enclosure in
to three sections This will be TO
prevent patrons from entering any
other section but the one where they
belong. These wire fences will be
moved shortly before the fight, though
they would not seriously mar the
view of the spectators Ii they re-
NAMED.
They are>to be 162 press seats near
the ring and the seats which run back
from the arena to the first dark line
as indicated In the drawing will range
from $40 to $50. The prices between
the first and second black line range
from $40 to $25 and beyond this the
seats cost from SIS to $40.
it is estimated that more than half
million feet OF lumber will be used
to build the arena. The promoters can
not see the necessity of an additional
fence. The race track fence proper
is believed, viii give all the protection
necessary, along with big patrol of
Pinkerton men.

ORIGIN OF WORD
"CHARLfY HORSE

Did you ever spring a, charleyhorse?
asks Frank Hougth in the Philadelphia
Inquirer. You don't think you ever
did? Well, 1t is good betting, then.
that you did not, for OF all the ills
and aches to which baseball players
are subject, this charleyhorse is the
worst, outside, of course, permanent
disabling injury. In a general sort of
way any strain of the muscles or the
ligamenrs OF the legs is classed as a
charleyhorse, although some players
have been quoted as saying that they
had oharleyhorse in the arms Origi-
nally, though. a charleyhorse was a
knotting of the muscles In the legs
above the knees, which took the form
OF pronounced lump, and which gave
the unfortunate player all kinds of
trouble until II disappeared Years
ago players would have to lay off for
weeks, even months, because Of a PEI
culiarly aggravated case of charley
horse: but i'm these advanced days,
when nearly every club carries a skill
full masseur, who in turn works under
the orders Of capable physician, char
leyhorse is becoming rarer and rarer.
But why, whence chaleyhorse. Go
ing down to Hot Springs there was d
bunch of us in the smoking compart-
ment, including Hughey Dougherty,
Tom Shibe, Harry Davis, Eddie Collins
and several others. when the question
of charleyhorse came UP, and was dis
cussed from every angle. No one In
the outfit seemed to know wtaen on
where the word ais applied 20 an injury
to ball player originated The old
sport knows that the word WAS III use

contrary. II may have been Lii use long

! tect, the floor of the arena will rise In
a spherical manner not unlike the bot
tom of a giant kettle. The curve starts
at the first row OF the $50 seats and
rises until 1t reaches a height of 40
feet, which will be the end row of the
SIS seats.
While in other respects the arena
will be built practically ON the same
style as the one at Point Richmond,
where Nelson lost his title to Wolgast,
yet 1t will be far greater in size as
well as more elaborate. Mclaughlin
& Welsh, the contractors, have many
new innovations in mind which they
will put into effect. One of these viii
be the arrangements to handle the
crowd after it enters the arena.
There will eight or more entrances
which will lead the spectators under
the arena, branch aisles will diverge
from the main entrances, which lead
where me belongs. The tickets will be
colored according to the sections, and
ticket purchaser for that section will
be admitted. In side the ushers will
handle the ticket holders.

RECOGNITION OF
half Mile RACERS

Minneapolis, April 1.-THE manage
ment Of the state fair races met last
week to consider the classes and purses
for the coming state fair race meet.
During the meeting a number of
changes were suggested. The most i'm
portant will be that of the historic 1921
trot, which for years has stood out as
banner trotting event of the north
west. Hereafter, or for this fall, at
least, 1t will be 2:16 trot. This is an
important change, as horsemen can
start in racing their prospective entries
over the half-mile tracks early in the
season, and not get them outclassed
before the entries for this event close.

up to his usual form and did not show
of to his best advantag. For the sea-
son Cobb's batting average in the
American league OF 377 looks better
than that Of Wagner In the National
league with but .339. Cobb was at bat
93 times more than wagner and that
accounts, partially at least, for the
fact that Cobb scored more runs than
Wagner by twenty -four had forty
eight more hits and forty-one more
bases.
The baseball world Il now watching
more keenly than ever the rivalry be-
tween these two artists and 1910 may
have some surprises lii store which
will prove the superior qualities of one
|or the other Of these two men and de-
monstrate, beyond doubt. which one

Money From Auto Fees.

Secretary of New York State Koen-
liz, at Albany, reports that the fees
from the motor car owners and chauf-
feurs in that state during 1909
amounted to more than $4,000, the
largest sum ever received by the state
from this branch of taxation. He says
his statistics show that not the veal
thy alone are now buying motor cars,
but that the middle classes are pur-
chasing many machines High priced
cars were not generally bought in
1909. according to Secretary Koenig,
the tendency being toward the lower
priced motor cars.

MORE CHANGES IN
GRIDIRON GAME

An increase of the distance to be
gained i'm three downs from ten to fif-
teen yards may be made in the football
rules for 1910, according to statement
made last evening by DIR. I'll. L. Will
liams, member of the national intercol-
iegiate football rules committee and
coach of the football squad of the I'm
versity of Minnesota, upon his RI arr
from the recent meeting of the COM
mittee in New York city.
Coach Williams discussed this
changes and proposed amendments tc
the football rules at some length, and
declared that the Minnesota squad will
at once begin its spring practice In
order to do its share in testing the sug-
gestions made by the different coaches
at the New York meeting. The team
will Se put through practice with every
conceivable plan OF Iessening the pres
emit dangers of the game under the
present system, while retaining its in
teresting points for the spectators.
DIR. Williams said, Enough has al
ready been done TO make sure that the
game of 1910 will be much less dang,
erous than ever before. The principal

rule has been to diminish the danger
OF the game. All other contemplated
changes have taken a purely secondary
position,
Seven Men on Line.

seven men on the line on the offense
and that there shall be no pushing OF
pulling of the man with the ball. II
nothing else were done, these two rules
would greatly lessen the danger of in
juries but the committee also cut out
the diving tackle. These three changes
will revolutiontze football from the
standpoint of reducing the danger.
Minnesota will go right to work on
its spring practice and do it's share in
determining which rules wi lbe best
to adopt.
zone or two points more are to be
decided at the meeting of the commit
tee on the last Saturday in April. The
forward pass may be modified for use
behind the line of scrimmage. The for
ward pass across the line means that
the quarterback on the defense must
go away back in the open, running
more danger when tackled. If the for
ward pass cannot be retained with
safety, 1t win be modified.
Other Changes Planned.
"Another possible change is that the
men on the defense will not be allowed
too spread out along the line any farta-
err than the men of uhe offense, that Is,
a defensive end will not be allowed to
ran out farther than his opponent. This

one had any intelligent idea. The fact
that charleyhorse in a ball player is not
unlike a SPAWN in a horse suggested
the idea that when the first charley
horse was sprung, someone might have
said, That's what our charleyhorse has
got" just as boys in the country used
to say-and doubtless do yet--"our

explanation may not be altogether con-
vincing, but 1t was accepted as the
most plausible vet advanced.

But the use of these end runs under the
present system of requiring ten yards
gain in three downs would probably run
up too big a score, and in order TO
check this and keep the score down 1t
is probable that the distance to be
gained will be made fifteen instead of
ten yards.
whatever the final decision of the
committee, 1t will make an interesting
game for the public and one which will

The management for years has been

half-mile tracks, to give them chance
at the state fair meet.
The race managers have decided TO

GREAT PROGRESS
IN TIRE MAKING

What is so essential to the comfort
OF automobile riding a.. good tires
Confidence in the tires on your car
makes one forget his one-time bug
bear of the motorist, for today the
product Of the standard and prominent
tire makers OF the country has been
so perfected that one rarely hears OF
blow-out or thrown tire under ordi-
nary touring conditions. In fact. no
development of the auto industry of
recent years has meant SO much TO
the comfort and safety OF those who
ride i'm motor cars as the improved
methods Of securing tires or of chang
ing them quickly after some accident
has made the original tire useless.
II has been found that the blowing
Of tire or the throwing of it has
been the cause OF a large percentage
OF the accidents that have been so
costly in life and limb and which have
given automobile riding the reputa-
tion OF being a dangerous pastime. 1t
was for the tire manufacturers to
overcome this, and, needless to say.
they studied hard and long to make
a device which elirnipated this danger.
and today are being rewarded for their
work. Nearly every tire maker is put
ting on the market some kind of safe
ty device which they have proven to
be as safe as can be and this, Of
course, caused the competition be-
tween these many makers. for the au-
tomobile owner is looking around for

best on the market this year and
anxious to place his order for the ia
vored device.
Each year the, tire makers are put
ting higher quality into their prod
ucts, for now that the experimental
stage in the construction is practi-
cally over the makers can afford to
put the money at one time spent in
experimenting into the quality and re-
finement of their product. This does
not mean. however, that they are not
now experimenting to even better
goods. but considerably less money is
being spent in this branch of the tire
industry.
The plain pneumatic tire seems to
still hold the stage, although there
are a lot of tire filters and other claim
ed non punctursble tires struggling to
get a hold on the automobile owner.
The great service of the old standby
and the ever increasing efficiency of

some time, however, as will be proven
by the interest displayed in the tire
