years leave Of
absence 20 restore his health.
Now comes a trinity of Wash
ington business men, one of
them the operator of a flourish
ing ice business. proposing to
give the District of Columbia it's
long-awaited indoor skating area,
together with an all around
arena adaptable to sports and
civic purposes.
The newest combination COM
posed of Mike Uline, Freddy
Buchholz an d James Colli-
flower, incorporated IN Novem-
ber for this purpose, seems to
me to be the type that would
be alert to the possibilities of
such venture in Washington.
Takes Certain Type
1t takes sportsmen to recog-
nize business opportunities in
the sport field; men like the
Clark Griffiths and the George
Marshalls, with faith in ath-
letics.
Both Buchholz and Colli-
flower are men with sports back
grounds, and hope l am doing
no injustice to Mike Uline in not
including him in this category.
If he happens to be Of the breed,
without my knowledge, all the
better for the new undertaking.
What I mean to imply is that
the issue of a sports arena of
sufficient magnitude fol ice
hockey, big-time basketball, in
door tennis, important fights
and whatever civic uses it might
have, has been put up to bank
erS and professional investors in
this city time upon time, but
these lacked the vision, or pos
sibly confidence, to go forward.
Jim Colliflower hight be
called the last of an old line Of
baSk thall pioneers around this
section, having played at George
town, coached at Georgetown
and la.er at the U. S. Naval
Academy.
Peach Basket Days
That was back in the days
when they were still using peach
baskets, so to speak, in which
to cage the ball. Well, since
then basketball has become a
major sport, almost everywhere
except in Washington, which
has never builded it's edifices
to permit big league schedules.
Why, for the Minnesota
George Washington game here
two weeks ago. more people were
standing on the outside trying
to get in, than actually were in
Tech High gymnasium.
When Uncle Mike Jacob"
goes in for basketball at his
New York Hippodrome, you
know my friends it is no longer
what may be called a chicken
feed sport.
And this man Buchholz is
stepped in the traditions of
sport. He pulled an oar for the
Potomac Boat Club the first time
I ran afoul Of him, back in the
days when his incompatible
father. the late Gus Buchholz,
used to play host to so many
sports gatherings.
Freddy, you will recall, was
one of the original three boxing
commissioners of the District Of
Columbia when our fight board
was formed in 1884.
He served the span of two
years, bowling out because of
business pressure and because he
had promised his friend, Com.
missioner Melvin Hazen, that
he'd help get the ring game
started here. Too, Freddy for
years has backed bowling and
baseball teams hereabouts.
G00d Men and Tr1vD
The Washington times., 1938-01-18

I don't know nearly so much
about Mike Uline, as I do of Fred
and Jim. But I do know that in
business circles here, Uline is
looked upon as one of the solid
thinkers Of our town; conserva-
tive, yet enterprising and imag-
tnation.
Possibly these traits are what
have brought him to throw his
lot with Buchholz and Colli-
flower and if that be true, he
may be assured he is in good
hands in aligning himself with
men quite as successful in their
own affairs as he is in hiS-and
sportsmen with it.
None will dispute the state
ment that Washington is more
than ripe for a sports arena
which will also have utility as
q place for automobile, food,
flower and other shows, as well
as industrial exhibits and con.
VentionS.
I don't believe there is an
other city in the new or old
world, the size Of ours, that
doesn't have such a place under
a single roof. Baltimore, for in.
stance, supports their Fifth Reg
iment Armory as well as two ice
rinks.
Philadelphia, Atlantic City,
New York, Boston, Cleveland,
st. Louis and all the rest are
modern in this respect.
Washington isn't.
Let's have It!

probable If he continues his present
pace and there is no relapse.
Gen. Pershing had a very good

mander started rallying Sunday.
He slept six and one-half hours

conscious. While all danger is not
yet passed, if the improvement of the

no relapse, his recovery seems quite
probable"
DR.. Dawson returned to the sana-

ing at his home in Tucson, miles
away, for the first time since Gen.
Pershings condition became critical.

tanned in recent days, Gen. Pershing's

His sister, Miss May Pershing, slept
all night, relaxed from the anxiety
which she has felt for her brother.
