Now Gotham Has
Ice Tennis to Go
Half Crazy About

New York, Dec. 30-With a regu-
lation tennis court marked out on
the ice surface with a specially pre-
pared black paint that permitted the
players to skate over il without i'm
pending their progress, and with reg
ulation net raised about three inches
from the ice to offset the added
height the skates gave the players,
Fred B. Alexander, Karl Behr, Dean
Mathey, Francis Hunter and T. R.
Pell presented the new game of ice
tennis at the One Hundred and
Eighty-frst street ice skating pal
ace the other night. The unani-
nous verdict after the practice had
been completed was that new sport,
faster and demanding more athletic
skill than any other, had been added
to the calendar
The game seems to be a pronounc-
ed success. The service of all the
players was strong, but what was
more impressive and stamped the
game as real sport was the keen
and prolonged volleying. The players
placed their strokes just as il they
were playing on the turf. They moved
about on their skates, advancing to
the net and dropping back to cover
the rear OF the court quickly, and exc
cutting their strokes with the same
precision that features their work
out of doors.

Here's One that
Happened to Our
Old Friend Cadman

Fred McMullin, the inheld utility
man for the White Sox, was playing
for Tacoma at Seattle few years
ago. He came in from third on the
dead run and slid for the plate. Nc
Mullin knew he didn't touch it, but he
was afraid to slide back, as the
catcher had the ball in his hand. The
umpire also knew he didn't score,
but said nothing, as that was not his
business.
Fred busted off his uniform and
stalked, nonchalantly to the Tacoma
bench. A couple Of the Seattle play
ers yelled for decision.
"He wasn't safe, was he?" demanded
Cadman, who was catching for Seattle,
The umpire shook his head At
this Cadnan, holding the ball in his
hand, dashed over to the Tacoma
bench to tag McMullin. Fred waited
until he all but reached his end of the
bench, and then slid over to the other
end. Cadman followed him, and as
he did so slipped on some mud and
fell to his knees. McMullin leaped
up from his seat, sprinted to the plate
and touched it.

Moran Is Finished
As Title Contender

New York, Dec. 50.-Frank Moran
is no longer to be considered as one
OF the contenders for the heavy
weight title With Willard threaten
ing retirement, Moran would be in
a position to battle for the crown,
even though he did make a poor
showing against Dillon. He was in
poor condition that night and could
ask for return bout with the Giant
Killer. His showing against Gunboat
Smith, however, seems to be conclu-
sive proof that the Dillon fight was
a real tip-oif on the retrogression of
the Pittsburgh heavyweight. Smith
dropped out of the front ranks of
heavyweights some time ago, when
the knockout punch of his once
powerful hight hand deserted him.
Since that time he had been having
only fair amount Of success, but he
was able to outpoint Moran with
something to spare. Less than year
ago Moran was regarded as having
some chances against Jess Willard
and Smith was not considered. Today
Moran is regarded as no better than
before he went to Paris and engaged
in the bout with Jack Johnson. How
the mighty have fallen

Johnny Raimey Has
Run His Last Race

Johnny Raimey, famous as dirt
track race driver, is spending the win
ter in the foothills of the Rocky
mountains, near Denver. Too many
seasons spent in breathing the dust
on the dirt tracks have helped Raj
mey to contract tuberculosis, and the
doctors hold out little hope for his
recovery from the disease, but are
certain that Johnny will never drive
in races again.
Followers of the speed game are
well acquainted with the driver, as he
has appeared on the cards of the
races at numerous state fair grounds
once or twice season for some
years. Johnny was never star of
the big speedways, but he was one Of
the most capable road and dirt track
pilots in the game. While he did not
resort to the grandstand tactics of
many. he was consistent driver, and
has many victories to his credit
For many seasons he drove Cino
cars for the Cincinnati factory, and
was teammate of the late Walter
Dornelly, who met his death at Mil
waukee five years ago. For three
seasons he has been member of the
Sloan team. He almost lost his life
in an accident at Havana, Cuba, dur
ing the early part of 1912.
