And Darcy is right. Here is the largest city in the world, there are ery few fight clubs where big bouts can be held, and they look worse than Darcy described them. In two of the biggest clubs only one entrance is provided and it becomes jammed it is difficult to get through the door. Exits are almost as bad. The floois are bad, the light bad and the ventilation is bad. Smoke gathers in great rings and blankets. It fills the spectators' eyes with tears and the boxers with agony and resentment. The condition is al most intolerable. Madison Square Garden is np- n use as a boxing arena, it is better than the other enclosures. In the west, where they have big arenas and plenty of good bouts, there are clean arenas, where smoking is forbidden and the edict enforced, and where entrances and exists are so pre valent that an army could pass in and out without and discipline, in half the time it takes to fill and empty one of the New York fight clubs.

Only one stadium in history, the Circus Maximus, which flourished in Rome, exceeds the seating capacity of the stadium planned for Philadelphia. The great Roman arena, authorities say, seated nearly 300,000 persons, some going so far as to place the figure at more than 400,000.

The National Baseball Federation dees not insist upon the rulings, "once a professional, always a professional. The Federation takes tho view tnat the younger players are better off for having experienced veterans to coach them. But the Federation does not wish to have a loophole for profession al players to get into the amateur and semi-professional ranks by tho allure- USE A FAN TO KEEP WARM! Sounds Odd Doesn't It?
