ET er TE “WHAT LUCK! You're just the man I wanted to see!” AtThe ROOSEVELT, meetings like this are an every- day occurrence—you do meet the men you “wanted to see.” It isn’t luck—it’s simply that the men and women of your world naturally stop at the Roosevelt. They appreciate value, in hotel service as in everything else. And the Roosevelt is New York's best value—the least expensive finer hotel, ROOSEVELT Edward C. Foqq ging Director 45 St. NEW YORK D HOTEL SPORTS (Continued from page 15) contact with the sure thing gamblers and fixers. The Abe Attels and the Rothsteins can find easy _ pickings amongst a bunch of ball players and history shows that on one or two oc- | 2 ions they did. From now on, if Max Carey wants his pitching staff for spe- cial drill, Tam sure most of them will be close at hand. There is a mighty snug little beer garden right behind the bull pen at Ebbet’s Field. And then we come to Boxing. Here sport that was always redolent of the saloon, the red faced political boss and the big time sport and gambler. But the old order were a crowd of big time spenders and for the most part | outspoken, flashy men about town. Men like Jimmy Coffroth, William Brady and Charlie Harvey. They were, are, respected by the sporting fra ternity and the outside world alike. They talked big and spent big. They were out in the open and the fighters they controlled and fostered, actually fought. The list of old time champs who operated saloons is well nigh endless. Even the cleanest and most beloved of them all, Gentleman Jim, had a place right on Broadway. It didn’t seem to hurt them much as to character and it certainly didn’t affect them as fighters. They gave you more in ten rounds than Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnero will in a lifetime of pugilistic futility. From the day Prohibition came into force the boys softened up. Fixe double crossers and all the other hood- lums of the New Era appeared like parasites. The tang, the zest and the knockdown red blooded atmosphere of the old time sporting clubs were ef- faced from the scene. business, too, My hope is that now the Irish will get back into the fight game. They have traditions to keep up. Too long have we suffered from the Yussels, the Boo-Hoo Soansos and all the other “sure thing guys” who took over boxing. I am not preaching or wishing for the return of the old time back room. I am merely hoping that with repeal the aracters now control- of our sports will be driv- en out. Also, I sincerely hope that every | college will institute a course in wine tasting and appreciation of good liquors. Perhaps next year the road to New Haven will be paved with Good Inten- tions instead of broken gin bottles. Or am I too optimistic? —Rex Deane. &SE Here's How to mix a smoother drink— add Abbott's Bi' s! 50c bottle 25c.
