wielder and national title holder, is
rated as the leading lawn tennis
player in the United States. r. Norris
Williams, End, of Philadelphia, cham
pion of 1914. is second on the list on
the leading ten. Maurice z. Nc
Loughlin, former champion, occupies
third place and Karl H. Behr of New ,

The rating of the leading men and

was the subject of a long discussion
yesterday at the annual meeting of
the executive committee of the United
States National Lawn Tennis associa-
ton, at the Waldorf hotel
There was considerable difference of
opinion as to the relative merits of
Johnston, Williams. and Mclaughlin
as the members of the executive com
mittee were divided in their views,
and it required a deal of persuasion
to secure majority report on the
adoption of the findings of the rank
ing committee. While Mclaughlin
was supported for No. 1 position the
only other real candidates were John
ston and Williams.
Champion Johnston's record showed
four days of play in championship

comers'' at Forest Hills, Behr, Griffin,
Williams and Mclaughlin were van
pushed by him, a remarkable record.

SHOULD USE YALE BOWL
MORE Than ONCE EACH YEAR
Graduates Think Track Meets and Other Sports
Could Be Played There

New York. Dec. 4-Why is the Yale
Bowl only used once a year? Why
should such an expensive fixture be
practically nothing but a big toy to
delight the eyes OF adfniring tourists
and returning graduates? These are
questions which have puzzled many
thinking New Haveners. There is no
reason on earth why the great struct-
ure should suffer- such an appalling
lack of use. But for the big football
game it lies empty the year around,
except for a little lacrosse in the
spring and an occasional Greek play
or something of the, sort.
This difficulty could easily be RENE

of some of the men in charge of the

A cinder track Guild be built inside
besides facilttiss for field events, and
thus the track team would have the
use of the Bowl all spring. The
COMMITTEE of FL" decided that such
a scheme was i1npracticab1e, because
there is not room for the 220 yard
straightaway. The writer in convinc-
ed that this objection could readily be
met by building the straightaWay just
outside where it would be a very easy
matter for spectators to go through
the tunnels close at hand.
During the football season the track
team would use it's present quarters,
but in the spring the practice and the
big meets could proftably be held in
the Bowl Thus ample facilities would
be at hand for Yale to invite the other
colleges to old the annual intercolle-
giate meet in New Haven.

WHITE SOX WILL
PAY HIGHER FOR
BAKER THAN YANKS

New York, Dec. 4-The Yankees,
right now, are not trying to buy Home
Run Baker. The reason they do not
hope to get him is that Charles Com
iskey, owner of tn Wehite Sox, is will
ing to pay nearly twice as much for
the former Athletic star as Col. Rup-
pert, Capt. Huston and Bill Donovan
think he is worth.
According to them the. White Sox
would pay $35, 900 for Baker if Con-
ME Mack was willing. The Yankees
do not think Baker worth over $780,
900, and even that they regard as a
very high figure. A lot of baseball
men are inclined to agree with them.
eve may have to buy a couple of
stars to get our team in the shape
we want it, admitted the Captain.
But that is easier said than done.
Any team that's got star. wants to
keep him, and when one is put on
the market the various managers i'm

DECLARE SINCLAIR
IS NOT OWNER OF
NY. FEDERAL CLUB

New York Dec. 1T was denied
yesterday at the Federal league offices
in this city that Harry T. Sinclair,
owner of the Newark club, was also
the owner of the New York club,
which is to have a, park on Manhattan
Island. James A. Gilmore, president
of the league, said that Sinclair was
not the owner of the New York Fed
erals at, the present time, but he in
timated that there was nothing in the
way of Sinclair purchasing the New
York club.
A telegram was received from Sin
clair, who is still in Chicago, but Gil
more would not say that it was a de
NAL by Sinclair of the story which is
alleged to have fbeen given out re-
garding his being the hacker of the
New York Feds He gave only a
glimpse of the telegram, showing the
name Baker, but whether this had
reference to the Home Run King he
he did not say.
The Federal league adheres to the
position which it has assumed that
there must be no syndicate baseball,
still there is the belief that Sinclair
will own the New York club, partly
due to the fact that he has always
wanted a club in this city.
It is pointed out that while he may
not vet to be the actual owner of the
club, he may hold minority interest
in the club which would approximate
ownership through the fact that he
would be the largest individual stock
holder This no doubt violates the
spirit of the rule that there shall be
no syndicate baseball, but it will not
be of vital consequence as long as Sin
clair is able to dispose of his Newark
holdings before another playing sea-
son begins. I.
The Federa1s assert that the league
owns the New York club. This was
said at the time of the announcement
of the location of the proposed park.
When asked for particulars regarding
the sale of the property, the answer
was that it was controlled by the Fed
eral league.
