JESSE CAREY IS AN
ATHLETIC MARVEL
At Age of Forty-three He Ranks
Among Top-notch Roller Skaters
of the World.

One of the athletic marvels OF the
present day is Jesse Carey, who at the
age of forty-three. ranks as one of the
very best roller skaters in the world.
Carey has been skating for more than
twenty years and he seems to be Just
about as good today as he was when in
the prime of his youth.
One of Carey's most remarkable per-
formances was that in Paris in 1910 when
he covered 80 miles during twenty-four
hours. He skated continuously. never
leaving the track for a minute during
the entire twenty-four hours. Other con-
testants, much younger than Carey were
forced to take frequent rests, and the
result was that Carey finished many
miles ahead of his nearest competitor
In Brussels Carey defeated nearly
fifty contestants in an unlimited race
He skated fOrty-three miles without
stop and by that time every other man
in the race had been forced off the track
Carey holds every European and roller
skating record from one mile up to
twenty-fOUr hours.
Carey mingled in the recent twenty
four hour roller skating contest in New
Yo:k and at the finish was fresher than
any of the youths who were able to
stand the grind. Careys partner lost
lap during the last hour of the race,
and it was this loss that lost to Carey
the chance TO take part in the great
sprint during the last hour of the grind.
As it was Carey's team finished near
the top and grabbed off a nice slice of
money.
Carey was born in Pittston, Pa. He
is just a trifle over five feet tall, weighs
only 11j pounds.

Never before in the history Of the in

weaken the StenOgraphers. Wise has
been the backbone of his teams defense
for the past three years, and during that
time has outjumped almost every rival

serve to make the outcome of the seri s
all the more uncertain. With Wise in the

The various teams have been showing

reversals in form, the series is expected
to bring out the comparative strengths
of the teams which should afford many
thrilling contests. An improvement in
the passing game and the accurate goal

the arti-season games and as a result
better exhibitions have been staged.

Although the New York hotels and
clothing stores were the first to inaugu-
rate indoor golf courses the local firm
of Saks & Co. have installed the largest
indoor links in the country which are the
very latest and Up-to-date methods of
playing the ancient game while the snow
and sleet lay upon the green at the
country clubs.
The. nets have been in the store about
two weeks and the local professional
players and amateurs can be seen almost
every day driving and putting on these
well-equipped links. Many beginners at
the ancient game are pupils at the school
which is being conducted, and even the
best of the veterans are frequenters OF
the course. so as to keep in practice their
much-desired driving powers.
The idea was originated by the north
ern hotel proprietors, and nearly all of
the large hotels in the Big City have
installed the indoor course and have also
placed them in charge of the leading pro-
fessionals of the country, who give in
structions at the different strokes and
drives of the ancient and honorable game.

VIII Not Play Over Six Games on
Trips from Camps.

New York Jan s.-Barnstnming by major league
clubs the route north from the training
camps is no longer popular. Very few Of the
clubs will play more than six games on their
way home next spring. And most Of them
will be against other major league clubs.
There are two reasons for the shift. One is
that the playing Of about dozen games en-
route seemed to take the edge of the players
form. Another reason Is that the games in
small Southern rarely produce enough in gate re-
ceipts to make il worth the majors while to linger
around 1t costs from $40 to 500 for a club
to stop over at one Of the small towns. and very
often the shan Of the gate that the major league
club got did not meet the expense.
Most Of the clubs in the American and Ma
tionsl Leagues have refused TO schedule the small
town clubs. and will be content to play from
three 10 six games against clubs in the rival
league. in effort to- get back part of the
training expense money.
