= SKATING KINGS

Joe Moore of New York and Francis
Allen of Chicago stand out as the shin
ing lights in the championship speed
skating races of 1925. Moore reigned
supreme indoors, but Allen, who has
since become a professional, was in
vincible on the outdoor fee surfaces.
The Chicago skater won the interna-
tional outdoor as well as the national
outdoor crowns. OF slight build, he
took the Winter sports enthusiasts of
Lake Placid and other Northern re-
sorts completely by surprise, and his
surprising strength could not be
matched by the best. men on the Adj
rondack circuit despite the great
natural advantages for training which
they enjoy.
From the standpoint of a plurality
of titles, Joe Moore is in class by
himself He captured four crowns,
which include the international in
door for the sixth straight year, the
Middle Atlantic outdoor, the New York
State outdoor and the Metropolitan
outdoor.

that has not been accomplished since
1916. when Chick Evans succeeded

came close. for he tied Willie Mac

it by single stroke after the most
sensational play-off in the history of
golf. and he won the amateur cham.
