Turner Is PLANNING
To Enlarge Arena
To Seat 1900
Sees 1t as Way to Get
Better Bouts; Hossett,
Boyd Tune for Bottle

If the boxing business really is as
bad as everybody has been saying
some sympathetic friend should tip
off Joe Turner before it's too late
He is figuring on enlarging his little
flstic factory up on w street in
anticipation of rush of business
next winter and if it's a hopeless
cause. he should be stopped before
another wad of hard-earned dough
is washed down the sewer
Architects looked around the
premises yesterday, squinted at the
roof, rafters. side yard and front
entrance and allowed as how they
thought they could figure ways and
means of jamming 1000 customers
in the place for boxing 1t really
will be a couple of hundred below
that figure, but whatever it is will
double the present seating capacity
of 1900.
Declared Sold on Idea.
Turner is sold on the idea. It
would put his place on a competitive
basis with Riverside Stadium and
definitely put an end to the blatant
squawking about the absence of a
suitable indoor punching parlor in
the city. Such an arena would give
a club comparable with the best on
New York's subway circuit, which
are large enough to attract most of
the fighters who blossom into head
liners on summer programs. With
a 1000 seating capacity 1t would be
possible to gamble on guarantees
and import a better grade of winter
talent.
Whether the arena will be enlarged
depends, however, on the property
owners, but 1t seems reasonably
certain that If Turner is willing to
boost the ante regarding monthly
rent the proprietor will go along
on the matter. If the project is ap-
proved, work will be launched in
mid-July in hopes of having the
place ready by December. The addi-
ton would be planted on the side
yard now used for parking.
With an enlarged Turner's Arena
Riverside and the new armory avail
able for bouts, Washington once
and for all would be lifted out of the
no-suitable-place class regarding
major winter bouts. Whether il
could land any after getting the
necessary facilities for housing then
is conjectural, but it would have ar
excellent chance. Vs.
