GARDEN ICE SHOW
NEEDS PROTECTION
Boss of Arena Fears Heavy
Loss Should Skate Star
Suffer Injury.
By JOHN LARDNER.

n YEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Lloyds Of
nj London-famous for insur-
v ance deals of all varieties. in
L cluding the screwball-has
been approached with couple inter-
esting propositions lately. These, read
ing from left to right, have to do with
the legs of Sonia Henie and the plight
Of the American football fan.
In re the photogenic and lucrative
shafts OF Mile, Henie. Lloyd's has been
asked to insure both Of them for a
total of 100000. I am pretty quick
at figures, and estimate after a rea-
sonable amount of labor with paper
and pencil and quick peek at table
OF logarithms, that this comes to s50.-
600 leg. That is to say, $4,000 for
the right leg df you see what mean)
and $5O,0o0 for the left leg Gf you fol-
low me).
This proposition is the brain child
Of Brig. Gen. John Reed Fitzpatrick.
president of Madison Square Garden,
Yale IL. Mile. Henie is going to skate
IN the generals shooting gallery next
week, before large crowds of paying
customers, and the generals thought
flushing his brow like full-blown rose
as thoughts are likely to dds that if
the ladys stems crumple beneath her,
or wilt, or strike for better hours, or
are rendered hors de combat in any
other fashion, Gen. Fitzpatrick will be
In spot.

otdUeS 1OlI ASSOCIATION and BY other
organizations. Last years annual
meeting committed the Maryland Or
ganization to a poll of its member
clubs on their feeling about the stymie.
Results Of that poll, hitherto undis-
closed. probably will be revealed at the
annual meeting tomorrow.
In recent years the Washington
clubs have taken on more importance
in the affairs Of the Maryland asso-
ciation than ever before Eight clubs
classed as belonging to the Washing
ton group now belong to the Maryland
State Golf Association and WELD tre-
mendous influence in the affairs of
that organization. Up to 1880 the
Maryland State Association centered
chiefly around Baltimore, but expan-
sion brought in many OF the clubs
within few miles Of the Capital. To-
day the washington group has great
influence in association affairs.
The Maryland State team cham
pionship has been won by Washington
clubs for the last seven years, and
Washington amateurs have figured ex-
tensively in the individual champion
ship tournaments of the Old Line
State. The championship now Is held
by Volney G. Burnett Of Washington,
who won 1t as a member Of Indian
Spring.

snake was the creation Of the agent
who sold him the insurance. His
premium payments were running him
financially, and there was no prospect
of cashing in, now that his leg had
been removed from the menu of
wrestlers everywhere. Monsieur de
Glane was shocked by the depravity
Of American business methods.
don't know what he finally did about
it, but the story speaks for itself. It
points a strong moral.
Lloyd's Of London also has been
approached by q man who wants to
insure football tickets for q quarter
apiece, so that If it rains or SHOWS,
the customer will get the price Of the
ticket back. This is interesting, but
not as interesting as Sonia Henie's
legs, and 50 we will drop the matter.

SKIING

~ OWNH1LL racing demands
the utmost skill, Judgment
and coordination. Though
- championship racing Is for
the expert, the zest Of competition,
calling for the best effort the runner
can command, Is not alone for the
top-notch skier.
In practicing during the season
there are . number of points which
should be given particular attention.
A reasonable balance should be main
tanned between too much controlled
skiing and skiing at high speed, for
too much Of the former tends to slow
. racer. There must, Of course, be
periods Of controlled skiing to prac-
tice special points of technique. Al
ways follow such periods with some
1ast runs to build up confidence in
handling speed.
The long radius hish-speed
Christiania is the turn every
should try to develop. The
proper execution of this turn
rs dependent on extreme for
ward lean.
Steady running at speed also re-
quires good vorlage. for any hanging
back will tend to make the skis run
unsteadily, and often result in CATCH
ting IN edge. Hence it Is important
to drill on vorlage until the racer flg-
urattvely can keep his nose out over
hts sli tips no matter what circum.
stance may arise.
