COMMISSION URGED
FOR FAIRGROUNDS

That they. endeavor 70 obtain from
Congress legislation providing for the
appointment Of playground commits
sion. consisting Of five or seven persons,
similar to commissions now in charge Of
playground work IN most of the large
cities. is the recommendation made 10
the Commissioners by the washington
Fairgrounds Association.
THE conditions in Washington are
such as to make very desirable the crea-
ton of such a commission says Arthur
Q. Moses, vice president of the assO-
citation in letter 10 the Commissioners.
Under authority Of Congress the en-
gineer in CHARGE of public buildings and
grounds has for some years allotted the
use Of certain Government reservations
upon which some OF the most profitable
and successful Fairgrounds have been
operated The Board Of Education has
always heartily co-Operated IN arrang-
Ing for the use Of school property to the
end that more children NAV be given
the advantage Of the Fairgrounds.
THE Fairgrounds Association is made
up OF those who give their time and
means voluntarily. 1t has worked with
the other two agencies in bringing about
the extensive playground system now

Mr.. Tawney's objection. which was
50 readily snapped up by those in
charge Of the Fairgrounds fight, and the
adoption of which seemed to please
both sides. was caused by an inci-
dental remark in MT. Fosters speech.
Mr.. Foster said that the citizens OF the
District had raised 5000 by private
subscription last year and were willing
TO do the same thing again. but would
prefer to do il by taxation and without
the trouble OF private solicitation. M.
Tawney then proposed that the District

so great an interest has been aroused

COLLEGES IN DISPUTE
Columbia and N. Y. u. Nag Not
Meet for Basketball Title.

From Developments in a misunderstanding be-
tween the managers OF the Columbia and New York
University basketball teams yesterday there seems
TO be a strong probability that Columbia and New
York University will not meet In the basketball
contest scheduled for February 2e The basketball
wrangle is caused by the fact that R s. Van
Houten. manager of the New York University team,
says that his is entitled to play two games
with Columbia, while the Blue and White manage
ment he added IS willing TO play only game.
and that the Morningside Heights court To this
G. E. Hutchinson the Columbia manager, replied
yesterday that the New York University manager
had made a contract with him for game to be
played at Columbia. and there was nc idea on
either side of holding second game at New York
University
AS the matter stands now It looks as II no game
will be played at ell, since the New York Univer-
sity manager would rather not play a. Columbia
If no return match is to be scheduled Columbia
men say that in a game played on their home court
the University Heights men would have the Column
bia team at a disadvantage. because II has played
on nothing but regulation sized courts during the
season. r. Wiley, the assistant manager OF the
New York University team, said yesterday after
noon that even although Columbia had signed the
contract for one game the thought OF a second
game being Il idea. should receive considera-
ton by the Morningside players. and that they
should make concession in favor OF the second
game. Otherwise. he intimated. as his manager
had already done, the present contract would not
be lived up TO.
New York University man interested in the
ness and good sportsman ship suggested that home
and home games afforded the only proper test be
tween the two teams. neither of which has been
beaten this year 4 good solution OF the problem,
he said would be a single game neutral court,
~ which several are available here
