Promoter Seltzer invented Roller Derbies- entrance to which can be attained only by winning elimination races in the Seltzer Roller Derby Association, with 3,000 members at $2 each-a year ago, to replace his Walkathons which he said were beginning to grow vulgar. By last winter he had selected a group of teams who competed successively in Chicago (TIME...
