many days, such base ball fans and other
sport lovers as do not equally enjoy a
good foot ball game are now turning their
attention to indoor sports, Of which there
will be at least an average crop this
winter.
Bowling, billiards. pool, indoor track

New York boasts most OF the top-notch
runners. jumpers and weight throwers'
as has been the case for years, and. as
was the case last winter, the city Is the
mecca for practically all the stars OF the
cue world
The indoor track season has started In
small sort OF way with dual meets OF
slight importance between the minor attn
Ietlc clubs OF the city. About two weeks
hence, the big fellowship lrish-Amerl-
can, New York. Pastime and Mohawk
Athletic clubs and the National Guaru
regiments--wIll get In action and start
serious training for the important clashes
later on.
Judging from the large number OK big
affairs that are being arranged pan

that ali the outdoor stars and many
youngsters OF promise win be In the
rames will bring many new records into
the athletic almanac, unless unpreee-

20 be the fastest indoor track In the
oountry.-4he new Twenty-second Resi-
ment armory. II has a straightaway of
100 yards and one lap OF the track Is 300
yards. Besides, the floor Is at the same
time firm and springy and should be a
boon both to runners and jumpers.
Among possible record breakers VINO

, Wesley oler. the young high Jumper OF

has gone six feet, four inches, and Meyer
