Two Books in Two Days
Two books in two days! Whaaat?
That's right.
That's right.
The Winter Garden began as an ice skating rink, home to various Los Angeles area hockey teams, hosted speed and figure skating competitions, a six-day walking marathon, featured in Hollywood films, transformed into a tennis court for "Big" Bill Tilden's farewell tour and, infamously was the scene of a Chicago gangster shooting.
This short volume (32 pages), No 8 in the CLR Effect Occasional Series, will take you on a tour of one of the most important, but least known venues in Los Angeles bicycle racing history. Starting with the laying of the cornerstone (ceremonially using ice cream as mortar), the story moves through the early days of amateur, professional and collegiate hockey in the city, before moving on to the three six-day bicycle races that took place (1932, 1933, 1934), along with sprint and distance races in 1933 and 1934.
Get your copy now. Al Grenda, if he wasn't so busy fueling up for the January 1933 Six-Day race would have read through it. And remember, this volume, inexpensive as it already is, is even better priced right now - 20% off when you order it through Blurb.
