Yesterday to Discuss Mat
ter--Three Sites Available

The Yankees will have their oWn
baseball park in 1922. This an
nouncement was made at q special
meeting of the American League
club owners held at the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia
yesterday. When Colonel JACOB
Rupert was asked why the Yankees
wanted to leave the Polo Grounds ne
said tersely: 1--WE are being thrown
out"
The Yankees have been operating
at the Polo Grounds on q lease that
was renewed from year to year, with
an option for another year. The
Yankees will finish out this season
and use their option to play through
1921, but on the following year they
will be playing in their W al
park. The site Is not being re-
Ivealed by the owners of the Yankees.
but they claim that there are thres
sites available, and all Of them c
cessible.

and the Polo Grounds to Charles
Stoneham, John J. McGraw and
Magistrate Francis X. Mcouade
there was no written record of this.
The new owners declined to give the
Yankees a long time lease and limited
strongly that they wanted the Polo
Grounds exclusively for the use OF
the Giants.
1t is known that the owner OF the
Yankees have been preparing for
this move for some time. Colonel
T. i. Huston. the vice president. who
is an engineer and contractor, has
been studying the ground situation
carefully, and has been figuring
upon the cost Of construction OF a
new stadium. The new Yankee base
ball park will be constructed 90 that
other athletic events may be held
there, and the Yankees in their new
home will be rivals with the Giants
for the various football games,
boxing matches aud Other attrac-
lions. The site will be announ led and
the work begun on the new park in
the neal future.
TIE magrates voted unanimously
to send a set of engrossed resolutions

"FEDS" PREDOMINANT IN
FATHER AND SON GAMES

Like father. like son." seems to
hold true in tennis, to judge from
the number OF entries being receiv-
ed by the United States Lawn Tennis
Association for the father and son
championship which Is played the
week of August so at Forest Hills.
1t is natural enough to expect that
a boy like his dads. game. and the
entry shows that many of the young
sters do follow their parents course.
This is a queer thing too, that a lot
of the fathers entered this year., run
to Fred" as a first name.
Fred c. Anderson for instance,
has been playing tennis for twenty
years or less, and now he has two
likely boys who can give a good &C
count of themselves in any tennis
match. Anderson, senior, a some
thing of an advantage over the other
competitors for the title in that he
has two sons who are so nearly equal
In skill that he may have to make
them play a match to determine
which will be his partner.
Fred II. Hovey who won the ma
tional championship back in the
nineties. has a son who has been
after him to take another crack at
a national title, so this rear the
&AQNEro Will ~ ~ kAAb bA1 CAOWn INV
possessed by the Andersons.
Fred seems to be a popular name
in the father-and-son competition
for one of the most recent entries Is
that of Frederick B. Alexander, the
famous internationalist and his boy.
The younger Alexander is not very
big, but neither is his famous dad,
and those who have cen them to-
gether on the court are>ready to tell
the world that they make a good
team.
Still another Fred has appeared,
in the entry of Fred NJ. Letson who
has teamed up with his son. Ben,
the former junior who has played
lots of good tennis in the metropoh-
tan district. They have played 30
many matches together that they
make a good team and some of
their friends argue that they nave
a very good chance for the title.
The Freds IRE not all done yet, for
Fred H. Norton and son Hammatt
Norton of the M~ontclair Athletic
Club, are in the contest. With DR..
Linn Emerson. of Orange, Craig Bid
die OF Philadelphia, ]. ID. Jones OF
Providence, Arthur Ingraham, Oak
land, b. M. Grant of Atlanta and a
number of other famous players
hooked up with their sons in quest
of this title, 1t promises to be one
of the most interesting events of the
week.
