HELEN REYNOLDS SEEKING WORLD’S RACING HONORS

Earl Reynolds, known all .over the world as “Skater” Reynolds, is here this week at Proctor’s Grand theatre with his wife and Nellie Donegan, who has held the world’s figure skating championship on rollers for twenty years and his two daughters, Helen and Maudie Reynolds. Helen Reynolds was the premier skater of New York Hippodrome big show last season and has developed a contender now for the world’s skating titles both on ice and rollers. Her father will take her to London in an effort to secure a snatch with the winner of the Olympic ice title at the Princess Ice Rink, London, the party sailing June 16th on the Empress of France. Earle Reynolds was asked regarding the skating game here in America, also a few pointers on the real champs of their day and the present. Mr. Reynolds said if any critic in sport, no matter who he may be, can prove to him that there is one athlete in America that has won more races than Frank Kramer of Evansville, Ind., but later of Newark, N. J., “they can receive one of the handsomest presents that I can buy them here in Albany.” “My business is athletics, a skater, both on ice and rollers,” said Mr. • Reynolds, “and it is claimed that I have made more money in this line than all the others put together. I have listed Frank Kramer as the winner of more races than any man living.”— Troy (N. Y.) Times.
