|SPENN|LESS

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Business
circles were buzzing with gossip
today over the embarrassment that
faces none other than the dignified
New York Athletic Club, host TO
notabies for % years. The admis-
sion by, its president, Major William
Kennedy. that the club Is virtually
on the verge Of bankruptcy created
a tremendous sensation.
Kennedy told the board of gov
eTnors that as result of the pur-
chase Of q tract of land for a new
clubhouse, the organization had
obligated itself to the extent OF
$3.50 900. due TO be paid on
October l. fhis year, while only
$4,000 is available.
But this little predicament did
not discourage Kennedy.
Il don't think Wen ever go into
bankruptcy" he said. I'VE are
going TO get out of this dilemma
Somehow. and we are not losing
courage by any means.

HOCKEY BUCKS

Hockey. and even wrestling, ~
threatening to cut into the boxing
game in New York.
This is partly the fault OF the
athletic commission, which appears
to make as few concessions as pos
sible. either to the desires or com
fort o. the fans, but still more due
to the boxers themselves.
The men at the top OF their pro-
fession are showing the usual re.
luctance TO meet dangerous con
tenders who might topple them
from their perch
No matchmaker can be blamed
for putting on second-rate, UNEQUAL
or nninteresting matches when they
are all that he can obtain, but the
customers are growing tired Of
supporting such bouts.
And those who support the game
are a good deal more concerned
with seeing good matches IN a
pleasurable manner than they are
with either the dignity OF views or
charity and health of the Commits
sioners And that applies to am
boxing commission in the country.

NEW YORK, Jan, 27,-Willie
RitolA and Verne Booth, both
famous distance runners. are the
latest stars to accept invitations
to compete in special two-mile
race at the Crescent Athletic Club
games in the Thirteenth Regiment
Armory on February II. The ac-
ceptances were received yesterday
by w. Rossiter Redmond, chairman
of the Crescent Clubs track and
field committee.
Ritola is running two miles better
than ever this season and is point
ing himself for an attempt on the
worlds record established by Paavo
Nurmi at Madison Square Garden
last February. This record break
ing race was Nurmis outstanding
performance during his tour of this
country last winter. and II was said
at that time that it would probably
never be broken. "

ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, Jan.
27.-CIas Thunberg's most depres-
sing failure since coming TO Amer
lea was the talk of the meeting
today as the field of amateur
skaters prepared to compete in the
second days events in the inter-
national championships here.
The highly-touted Olympic cham
pion from Finland was out.classed
in the 220.yard race yesterday, fin
ishing fifth. and after leading the
way for four laps of the mile event,
faitered badly and every man in
the race passed him.
At the start of the second day,
Charley German. the Canadian, was
far in the lead with fifty points
and there was a possibility that
his total might be increased by a
protest of the victory of Richard
Donovan, Endicott, n. Y, in the
220.yard race. 1t has been claimed
that Donovan failed to qualify for
the finals of this event. AS mat
tiers stood today, Donovan had
80 points; Eddie Murphy, Chicago,
90 points, and William Logan. ST.
John, and O'Neill Farrell, Chicago
10 points each.
