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

The great Roman arena, authorities
say, seated nearly 300,000 persons,

Engineer Feeds Doe.
Pendleton, Ore., Jan. 18. (Special)
A little doe owes its life to a kind rnil-
Iroad engineer. George, Hillnvan, a
railroad engineer who runs over the
Blue mountains, recently discovered a
doe half way between Meacham and
Kamela. The snow is so deep thnt the
animal can make no progress and is
making its home near the track. Mr.
Hillman is taking food to it daily.
The deep snow has driven many ani
mals out of the mountains. Several
bands of elk have wandered into tho
midst of civilization. Mr. Hillman re-
ports seeing a lynx last week three
miles from Meacham.

MATEUR BASEBALL HEADS
TO MEET IN TOLEDO, OHIO
Toledo, O., Jan. 18. (United Press)
Tho question of how long a profes
sional ball player should have been
retired from the professional rank
before he is eligible to join any of
the clubs under the supervision of the
National Baseball Federation will be
one of the most important matters to
come up at the second annual meeting
cf the Federation Friday at the ilotel

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
