‘Bbxing Will Be Only
Side Issue at Philly——
Hockey Main: Sport
NEW YORK. May 9.——A1though
Tex Rickard acting for the new
Madison Square Garden Corporation
as John Itingling andhis pals are
known, is invading Philadelphia
and will spend about 8900.000 for
the purchase and remodelling or the
Arena. Rickard is not likely to fig-
ure very prominently in ring affairs
in the City of Brotherly Love.
The purchase of the Arena. in
Philadelphia. is in line with Ringling
entering the field _of professional
hockey and securing control of sev-
eral rinks on' this side of the border.
Most of the efforts in Philadelphia.
will be devoted to hackey and skat-
ing in winter and. swimming pools
in summer.
If hockey proves as successful as
anticipated it would not be surpris-
ing to see Rickard retire from box-
ing after this summer. Indications
are that the Dempsey-“fills match,

\ery much doubt, will signalizs
llickard's last big fistlc venture.
Despite announcema-n to the con
trary there is no lead pipe cinch of
a Dempsey—“fills match under Rick-
;.ird's auspices. There are many ob-
stacles to be hurdled. Everything is
l not as lovely as appears on the sur-
‘ lace. and many things are liable to
"'break" in‘ between now and next
September, perhaps sonuer than any
one expects.
Regarding the Philadelphia pro-
position, liickard yesterday said:—
"The Philadelphia purchase includes
a plot of land :14 {cc-t by 235. adja-
cent to the arena. proper. “It: pro-
pose to erect a giant open air
swimming pool on that plot. which
undoubtedly will be a big success,
as the beachgrs are too far from
Philadelphia and every one cannot
run down to Atlantic City every
time they wish.
“The Arena Building. which is the
old Ice Palace, will be given over to
hockey winters. W'hatcver boxing
matches may be staged there will be
incidental. The building now seats
about 7,200. \Vhen it is remodelled
we will be able to care for about
11,000. I hope to close ownership of
the Arena and adjacent property at
once. and start work immediately on
the pool, so it can be opened this
summer."

Back in the turbulent days of
1895, when the intervention of Amer
lea brought L'. S. troops to the isl-
and of Cuba. and independence from
Spain to the islanders, one Miguel
Gonzales a lad of scum decided that
when he grew up he wanted to see
the l'mted States.
Growing a little older he heard
that one way to see it “as to be-
come a baseball player and play with
an American team. Miguel became
quite famous on the island diamonds
as a. member of the Havana. Reds
and when the Boston Braves offered
born a tryout in 1912. Miguel left. the
'l’carl of the Antilles" and the nanI:
Miguel behind and became “Mug,
a hopeful young shortstop trying to
make the grade in the majors.
He also took the first step in a
Journey which has given him a
chance to see more of America. than
his loudest llopcs held out to him.

Ho lacked experience when the
Braves looked him over so th|y sent
him to the Long Branch Club of the
South Atlantic Lcngue.
The next year the Braves let him
go' to Cincinnati. “Another sight-
seeing trip." remarked Mike and was
on his “'83.
The next season the Clncl Reds
decided to trade Mike for Ivy \Vin-
go and the Human lad got a. railroad
ticket a' mile long that finally land-
cd him in SI. Louis.
Mike delivered for the Cardinals
to such an extent that they kept
him on the payroll and busy. In1915
he caught 3': games. The following
season he handled the Card pitchers
in 93. The next year he caught 65
games and filled in at first for
tiglitcen games.
in 1918 he caught 100 games and
the following spring was set for
another busy year in the Western
metropolis xvlien the club decided to
part with him. First thing Mike
knew he was on the road again—to
New York. Saw a lot of new country
and got a chance to look over the
Big Town.
\thn the 1921 season rolled a.-
round McGraw decided he wanted
Heinie Groh to bolster his infield.
Jawn looked over his team. halted
his gaze. on Gonzales and said:
"That bird likes to travel. Here‘s
where he gets a free ride to Cincin-
nati. Mike got it. He and George
Burns played Russian bank on the
way west. ‘
Nothing new in Conciville to Mike
so be rather enjoyed the ride to St.
Paul when he finally found a ticket
for that fair city in his hands back
in 1922.
Back in Cincinnati
This spring the Cinci Reds ac-
quired him again with the intention
of sending him to Brooklyn. Mike
hove into Brcloklyn, ,believing he was
about to establish a. permanent rc-
sidence there. only to find Hank Dc
Berry and Hargravcsiroddy to do all
the catching.
Tired at last of traveling. Mike
wanted to settle down and play ball
-—and so Welcomed the recent move
that. sent him to St. Louis in the
deal that made Milton Stock a
Dodger. .
Mike's work is cvut out for him
with the Cards. Vernon Clemens
suffered injuries in -training that
have kept him out of the game.
