N. Y. i. Plans
Up-to-Date Gym
For Next Fall

The executive council of the New
York University Athletic Association
has announced that it has planned to
open general discussion among the
students and alumni of tho institution
concerning the plans for the new gym
naslum that is to be built this spring.
SO far only a general sketch of the
future building has been made and the
council feels that many new and valu
able ideas as to the final arrangement
of the interior could be obtained from
this source.
1t is planned to break ground for the
gymnasium building in the late spring
and have it in readiness Tor the open
ing of college next fall. The structure
is to be a memorial to the four score
students of the Violet College who died
on the field Of battle during the recent
war, and is one of many new buildings
that will be provided Tor by the r2"
eral endowment fund of S6,45O 900.
which will be raised during February
next.
When completed the new gymnasium
will be one'of the most modern of it's
type. and will embrace several novel
features besides the regular standard
equipment

Rumor Says Germantown
Cricket Club and Long

BY Fred Hawthorne

Indications point to the fact that
the national singles lawn tennis cham
plonship tournament for 1920 will be
heid on the turf courts of the West
side Tennis Club of Forest Hills next
August. | know that there are rumors
abroad to the effect that this or that
club or section is coming to the meet

Waldorf Astoria Hotel on February G.
prepared to contest bitterly the bid Of
the local club for this event.
The Germantown Cricket Club Of
thliadeiphia is most prominently and
frequently mentioned in connection
WIN these rumors, and the Lonpwood

singles tourney. AS plain matter Of

only two cities in the country, outside
OF New York, that could stage the tour

Chicago, which might geographical1v
nave Just clam to holding of the
national, has no turf courts ADEQUATE
for such big undertaking, and it is
the same with other cities that mipht
otherwise be considered.
But think can safely say, in spite
or al! the reports nying around. that
the West Side Tennis Cluo will be the
scene OF the meeting. From sources
tnat must be considered most reliable
learn that the Germantown Cricket
Club. while desirous of holding the ma

New York organization for a stretch

they not?
Newport staged the "all-comers'"

and Newport handled it extremely

Personally, l believe either Newport
or Philadelphia could maintain the
high average set by the West Side

inert, with two o. three minor ex-
ceptions. Neither city is lacking in
accommc dations for the players would

There is reason TO believe that The

the fact that his players are display
ing little haste to sign the 1920 con

Mays Case Up Again

The Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court of New York yesterday re-
served decision in the appeal of Byron
bancroft Johnson, president of the
American League, and the St. Louis
md Cleveland American League clubs
rom the injunction of Supreme Court
Justice Robert F. Wagner, which re-
strains them from Interfering with
Pitcher Carl w. Mays's associations
with the Yankees, pending the final out
ccme of the suit of the New York
Americans against them.
The proceedings in Appellate Court
proved simply repetition of argu-
ments on evidence submitted in affi-
davit form at earlier hearings. Neither
side was permitted to introduce new
evidence. Marvin W. Wynne, attorney
tie, of counsel for the New York club,
repeated every pass and counter that
had developed earlier with a few fam
fares and fanfanades on the side.
Judge John Clark presided at yes
terday's hearing, and sitting with him
we're Judges Albert Page. William
Lloyd Smith. Eugene A. Philbin and
Victor f. Bowling.
Irrespective of the ultimate decision
OF the Appellate Court, the public has
not heard the end of the Mays case
If Justice Wagner's opinion is SUBJ
stantiated the case will go to trial be-
fore jury as early as possible. If
that opinion is reversed the New York
club will appeal to the Court of Ap-
peals
In the meantime it is expected that
the order for the examination of the
Cleveland officials as to Johnson's
alleged financial interests in that club
will be signed within a very few days
