SKATING NOTES. (Continued from page 21.) and champion athletes of every description ia the country, is a visitor in Chicago for some time. Tom acted as timer at the last big ice meet held last week, and you can just gamble that Tom bad the time correct. He visited with many of his old-time friends and some of his charges who he had under his care many years ago. Nestor Johnson, the former ice champion, and now manufacturer of the famous North Star speed skates; Julian ‘TT. Fitzgerald, f«rmer bicycle rider, who was under the care of Tom Eck some nineteen years ago, when he was out with the famous Morgan & Wright team, and many of the officials of the Ww. 8. A. and prominent skate s entertained Mr. Eck after the races. Eck, who was the greatest judge of athletes in the world, brought out such great men as John 8. Johnson, Jolnny Nilsson, Norval Baptie, Harley Davidson and Olaf Rudd as ice skaters, while any number of atiletes im other branches of sport can lay their future ang past reputation to the hand of Tom Eck. He was one of the widest knows men in the world in the roller game when he was handling skaters quite a few years back. Eck will visit the six-day races being held ia Chicago, in which he knows many of the riders, then will take out a team of four lady bicycle riders, one of whom he claims is as fast as any man rider in the world, and will prove it to the public before the season is over for winter indoor sports. Allen I. Blanchard is just starting to pry into the amateur standing of some of the amateur skaters, after knowing of their doiugs for several years past. We might say that if he sifts his leads down to a fine point that he will find there are few amateur skaters in the United States. It may be well for the skaters to know that Mr. Blanchard was the man to draft up the present amateur status. Roller skaters, don’t feel jealous over the ice skaters, for remember the ice skating season is a short and sweet one. The boys with the steel blades are lucky if they get six weeks skating out of a season, while the rollers are sure of twelve months in the year. Since the proposed new N. 8. A. announced its intentions of entering the field to conduet roller speed contests and mingle in other roller amusements the membership of the W. 8. A. has raised about fifty per eent in the percentage table. What manager wants to dish out several hundreds of dollars to tackle something uncertain with a new organization when cap prosper with a great deal less money under the wing of an old and tried organization? Watch the W. S. A. grow. The fifteen-minute endurance race at Musie Hall Rink {in Cincinnati on January 22 was wor by four amateurs, skating against Joe Altman and Joe Sefferino. The odds were too great for the two professionals, and after the first ten minutes the grind began to tell. The one-half mile race between Miss Mabel Portwood and Miss Hilda Bisphing at the Music Hall Rink on January 20 proved a big surprise to the wise ones. Almost to a person Miss Portwood was touted as a winner. She took the lead for three and one-half laps, setting a hot pace, but had to give way to her rival, who breezed into the finish about eight feet in advance. Miss Portwood collapsed and Manager Mooar learned for the first time that she had been ill for several days. Rather than disappoint the large crowd she had skated. She has been matched to race against Miss Katherine Sharp, of Ironton, 0. The old Airdome Theater in Zanesville, O., has been remodeled and converted into a roller skating rink. It was opened on January 26, with a capacity attendance. As the city has been without this form of amusement for some time, it is expected to prove very successful. W. E. Genno ie the general manager, with A. A. Ackerman as resident manager, acting for the Interstate Rink Company. The Casino Roller Rink at Thater Park in Syracuse, N. Y., was opened as a roller skating rink on January 24, and large crowds were in attendance at every session. Frank Lawler, a well-known exhibition skater, formerly with the Garden Troupe, is manager of the rink. Arthur Thater & Brothers are the proprietors.
