Lawn Tennis
Club Secures
Anew Home
New York Organization
Takes Old Grounds of
West Side Club

Through arrangements completed yes
torday the New York Lawn Tennis
Club, now located at Columbia Oval,
The Bronx. will become the most inn
portant club Of its kind, next to the
West Side Tennis Club, Of Forest Hills,
Long Island, in the metropolitan dis
trict next season.
Christopher b. Wynne, president OF
the club. announced last night that at
a meeting held at the Republican Club,
in West Fortieth Street, yesterday af-
ternoon the board Of governors, con
sisting Of himself, Theodore c. Young,
J.. +. Sisson, r. j. Cohklin, Frank
Oliver and Samuel l.. Martin had com
pleted negotiations for the taking over
OF the property at 23Sth Street and
broadway formerly occupied by the
West Side Tennis Club.
Hospital on Old Site
According to Mr. Wynne the New
York Lawn Tennis Club will take for
NAL possession Of the Broadway
grounds before the first Of the year
and will begin the necessary improve
ments as soon as practicable. The
New York club, which has occupied its
present grounds for a number of years
under a lease from Columbia UniveT-
sity, was notified some weeks ago that
IT would have TO move, as the Columbia
War Base Hospital, now building, will
require the space at present occupied
by the courts.
Three prospective sites we're in
Spectcd by the board Of governors and
the old West Side grounds finally Sc
lected as best fitted for the purposes.
Il is estimated that about $1,000 will
put the courts and the clubhouse in
good repair for the season Of 1918.
This means that the New York club
will be able 10 bid for some of the
most important OF the local tourna-
ments next season and in the years to
come. such as the metropolitan cham
pionships, New York State and Eastern
New York State Journeys and The
Bronx and Manhattan championships.
$4,000 Spent on Grounds
The West Side Tennis Club spent
about $4,000 in equipping the grounds
at 23Sth Street, including an up-to-date
clubhouse and a number of excellent
clay courts, besides several of turf,
upon which the famous Davis Cup
matches of 1911 were played, with
Larned and Mclaughlin defeating the
British Isles team.
When the West Side Club moved TO
its present home at Forest Hills, the
turf was removed from the champion
shin court and relaid on the Long Isl
and courts, but the clay courts are still
intact, having been used for the last
three or four years as public courts.

Boxing News and Notes
.Bv FRED HAWTHORNE.

We who are en- rapport with the
sporting gossip know that Jess VIZ
lard has been attacked with a sud
den rush of patriotism to the head. In
fact. Big Jess has been so virulently
bitten" that he wants to fight any
man in the world, meaning Fred Full
ton, for nothing. The only proviso
the heavyweight champion makes is
that every cent from the proceeds OF
such a battle 60 to the Red Cross
fund.
A noble sentiment, truly, and, as
such. one 20 be commended, even II
il does come a bit late. Out Of the
hazy past, however, comes hazy
recollection Of Wizards attitude
toward charity in days gone by. We
can remember, about year ago, wheh
Jess was showing" with his circus
in Brooklyn. that he was asked to box
an exhibition bout at Madison SQUARE
Garden for the benefit Of visiting
sailors from the French men-ot-war
then at anchor in the Hudson.
By hopping into Mr.. Shonts's TUBE
less could have reached the Garden
i'm about twenty minutes, and if the
ticket chopper had happened to have
his back turned at the moment the
heavyweight champion of all tie world
might have straddled the ticket box
and escaped paying the jitney toll. Or
less might even have ridden his pet
broneho over the Bridge and got q
lot Of publicity for his circus by rid
ing through the streets of Manhattan
to the Garden.
But Jack Johnson's conqueror didn't
do any such thing. There were many
ether boxers, champions, near eham-
rions and mere preliminary boys, who
appeared in the Garden ring that night
md gave their services gladly for the
cause. Willard didn't even take the
trouble 10 send his regrets at not being
present. lie WAS busy with his circus
In Brooklyn. Business is business;

But now, IL seems, the loftlest oil
patriotic sentiments sway our Jess
heart Having decided that he IS too

that he will help Americas cause IN
the next best way-by turning over q
large sum Of money to the Red Cross,

training without a cent Of financial

Willard has received the publicity
he hoped for, and business has proba-
bly, picked up appreeiably among the
tank towns, but there is something else
that perhaps the champion did not
