Lake Placid. n. Y, Feb. 16.-The
Eastern Skating Association has
finally and definitely decided when

Championships shall be skated this

for this meet to the Lake Placid
Skating Association. These races
will be skated at Lake Placid on Feb
ruary u and %. In the past this i'm
portant meet has always been held
in or near the Metropolitan district.
but lack of ice precluded the posi-
bility of doing so this year. At Lake
Placid there is always an assurance
of excellent ice and in addition there
is an active skating association that
has developed trio of speed skaters
ready to meet the fastest amateurs
in the country.
These boys, Charles Jewtraw, Ray
Bryant, and James Hennessey. have
swept everything before them in less
important championships during the
last two winters. The events to be
competed for at the Eastern Cham
pionship meet are 22O yards, 40 yards,
half-mile. mile and three miles; also
the usual Junior events.

RICHARD STARTED AS KID
TO REAP FORTUNE SOME KID

Tex Rickard, the Little Corporal"
of boxing promoters, is without
doubt the most picturesque figure
that ever got into the fight game.
To watch this quiet-voiced fellow
lolling in luxury at the Hotel Bilt-
more and handling diplomatically
all kinds of pirates anxious to get
in on the 100000 scrap. from movie
magnates to real estate sharks, you
would never guess that he was once
a rough gold digger in Alaska ana
the Yukon. He can wear a tuxedo
as gracefully as Reggie Vanderbilt
Get into conversation with Rick
ard and you at once find out how
the once humble miner became the
biggest fight promoter in history.
. He has the spirit of adventure
tempered with quiet self-possession
couldn't get Tex to talk of Will
lard, Dempsey or the worlds heavy
weight championship, but he was
willing to yarn about his Yukon
days
Il crossed the Chilkoot Pass in
~ Sdlu INIChdTu. w men l tilnk
of that journey now% it seems to
me that l must then have been a
giant. 1t was so below zero. and
I dragged a sleigh with a 1OO-pound
pack over snow waist deep.
Il had my ups and downs in
that country. I StakCd out a claim,
sold it for S17,5OO and the next own
crs took $3jO.OOO out of it, Then
! prospectcd on another bum claim
for a year and finally sold out for
$4,000.
But it was easy come, easy go.

PERSH|NG FOR
ARMY SPORTS
Prescribes Universal Ath-

Makes 1t General Order.

Universal athletic training for the
ary Forces during the period Of occu-
patton and rehabilitation has been
prescribed by Gen. Pershing. and a
program worked out to the most
minute detail has been made the sub
ject for a general order just received
in this country and made public by
the Y. NJ. c. a War Work Council,
which is charged with the RESPONSE
bility for the arrangement, manage
ment and general conduct of athletic
activities.
Plans for official A. E. F. champion
ships on track and field, baseball,
football, basketball. lawn tennis, box
ing and wrestling reveal an even more
comprehensive program than frag-
mentary cable dispatches have indi-
Gated
Mention also is made of the pro-
pOsal that there shall be a set of mill
tary Olympic games as an important
part of the international triumphal
ceremonies following the conclusion
of peace
simultaneously with the receipt of
Gen. Pershing's order, the Y. NJ. c. A.
was advised of the arrival in France
of DR.. George ]. Fisher, head of the
''H' physical education department.
DR.. Fisher went overseas in re-
sponse to a cable asking for his as
sistance in setting up the program
requested by Gen. Pershing He at
once called a conference of more than
100 of the best known "Y' athletic
leaders in France and Germany, and
from this group one will be attached
to the staff of each division and sep
arate unit and will be designated in
orders as divisional Cor unit ath-
letic directors.

Purses Increased by Di-

Racing Association.

New Orleans, La. Feb. 16.-Direc-
tors of the Business Mems Racing
yesterday voted TO in
crease the daily purse offering at the
fair grounds 500. This decision was
reached after a conference with Rae
ing Manager JOSEPH A Murphy.
Higher cost of feed, of stable help
and equipmsnt, together with the in
creased entrance fees have worked a
hardship on the horse owners and II
was the general sense OF the Bust

ing yesterday that the association
should meet the horsemen half way.
The increased purses will go into
effect next Monday. From that day
until the close OF the meeting there
will be four $500 purses, two 500 ones
and one 1900. This will aggregate
81. 800 a day, whereas the present dis

OLYMPICS MAY
co TO HAVANA
Cuban Town and Stock
holm After Big Games.
American Walkover.

More candidates for the honor of
holding and managing the 1920
Olympic games crop up here and
there. The two latest are Stock
holm and Havana. And as time
goes on the probability of the games
being held in the United States
grows less. while the chances of the
European cities improve.
1t is evident that Sweden intends
to do something more than an
nounce its willingness to stage the
next big meet. The Swedes want
them for Stockholm again and they
may be expected to come forward
with a definite invitation when the
Olympic Council meets again. The
games are still wanted in the United
States, and IL the council votes to
award them here there will be at
least half a dozen cities which will
Immediately guarantee the neces-
sary arrangements and funds. New
York. Boston. Philadelphia and
Cleveland are all standing by wait
ing for the council to act.
In some respects Stockholm would
be an ideal place for the meet. The
Swedes managed them perfectly in
1912. They have a splendid stadium
equipment is perhaps superior to
anything we have in this country.
So il the meet must go to Europe
perhaps no city could attend to the
management with so little trouble
as Stockholm.
As the conclusion of peace is being
more and more delayed there is less
and less likelihood of many European
athletes coming to the United States.
assuming that the meet could be OBJ
tained for this country. 1t will be
some time before athletics can be or
ganiZed on anything like Il normal ba-
sis in the European countries. Ger
tainly it can't be done successfully by
next summer. The United States has
always had such decisive superiority
over the athletes of other countries
that il the games were held on this
side Americas superiority would be
overwhelming. Furthermore, it IS to
be doubted if the European countries
would be very largely represented.
The result is likely 10 te that the
games will be held in some European
capital.
Havana is and has been for a nLm-
Der of years a candidate for the honor
of entertaining the olympic hosts. Our
Cuban neighbors have been taking a
very great interest in all forms of
sport. Not only have they n standing
invitation before the Olympic Council
for these quadrennial games. but the
Cubans are trying to popularize other
sports. The latest move is sponsored
by the University of Havana, which
proposes to send a baseball team north
in April and May to play the Eastern
and Middle Western universities.
Another proposal of the Cubans is
that the American colleges should
make Southern trips during the
Christmas holidays to their islands.
This, of course. is completely out of
the question, for the reason that
American universities are unable to
play baseball at this time of the year.

richer and richer and will reach the

Meeting at Havana Is Most

Havana. Cuba, Feb. 16.-With the

half over. it is assured that in spite
OF early difficulties the Cuba-Ameri
can Jockey Club will have the most
successful race meet since it estab-

that two of the locally owned stables

Is probable that many more new
marks will be on the books before

There has been a great improve
ment in the sport owing TO the strict
discipline imposed by Presiding Stew
ard Christopher J. Fitzgerald, who
has ruled over the jockeys with an
iron hand. There are a lot of good
boys here, but early in the meeting
many of them took chances in cut
ting across and humping opponents.
Punishment was swift and sure, and
every one OF the really good riders
took a long sojourn on the ground
and in addition many OF them were
fined. They learned their lesson
quickly, and in consequence square
and straight riding is now the order
of the day
