GRILL. JOHNSON AS MAYS CASE
 IS APPEALED

New Yo>&, Jan. 24-Ban Johnson, se1f-styled Czar of Baseball, took a fine banning in the Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court yesterday. At torneys for the Yankees stung him with verbal jabs, uppercuts and swings. Ban wasn't present, but when his local watchdogs send in their reports he FFoba6ly wish more than ever that he hadn't ever butted into the transfer of Carl Mays from Boston to New York
 It all happened at a hearing of an appeal from Justice Robert wagner's ruling in issuing a permanent injunc- ton restraining Johnson and the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs from in- terfering with Mays pitching for the Yankees. Justices John B. Clarke Victor B. Bowling, Albert Page, Will jam Lloyd Smith and Eugene A. Phil bin heard 15-ninute speeches by at- torneys for each side, and accepted briefs, and then reserved decision. It probably will be about two weeks be fore they announce their findings.
 Charles H. Futile, who led the lega; attack for Colonels Ruppert and Illus ton declared, after the hearing, that the only kick he had was: 'eFifteen minutes is not enough time to pan Johns1n-" We'll say that Attorney Tuttla did very well in that short time, however.
 Futile, after explaining the justice of the injunction, reviewed the his tory of the case. He spoke Of John. sons alleged financial interest in the Cleveland club, of the close competi ton of the clubs at the time of Mays transfer, and quoted Manager Ed Barrow of the Red Sox, as statin. that the Chicago, Cleveland, St. Loui, and Detroit clubs had negotiated witt him for the services of the pitcher.
 MT. Johnson issued no order O suspension" said Futile, "until tn, Cleveland club failed to secure Mays and then did so as a punishment t the successful bidder"

CLAIM CIRCUS
 QUARTERS WILL
 BE SPORT CLUB

The New York Mail last night re- vived the story that the circus win ter quarters might be used as a place to stage boxing bouts. The story says:
 'HThe growth of- boxing since the signing of the armistice has been at tested by the great crowds that at tend bouts wherever held. Many sporting men are of the opinion that the peak has been reached, but the promoters in Connecticut and New Jersey are not so sure of that
 With the proposed bill legalizing boxiqg in this state fairly sure of passage, the plans of those outside the state now in infancy may come to head before long.
 In Bridgeport, one club has prac- ticaIly completed a lease for the old Barnum and Bailey winter quarters for their erection of a stadium for sports particularly for boxing bouts. It is possible to hold bouts of from twelve to twenty rounds duration in this thriving Nutmeg city. E~~ Over in New Jersey on a site easily ] accessible to New York plans have al- ready been discussed for the erection 1 of a large structure to be devoted to al kinds of sports, especially boxing. As soon as it is definitely known how the 1 Jersey boxing law is amended, and 1 it is determined that bouts there car compete with those in New York, the movement will probably come to { l head.
 If there be no cut-throat compe i tition the game should be in for { i great boom with bouts in New Yorl New Jersey and Connecticut, ant
 there will be enough places demand | ing bouts so as to give the young fe1 | lows a chance to show what is il
 them instead of a. lot of them goins
 to waste because they or their man
 agers are in right with the promo

Napoleon of Chain Stores

In an article on Decoration in Busi- ness Offices" in Arts and Decoration John Walker Harrington writes:
 Recently there died in New York a man who won millions by dealing in what had been before his day uncon- sidered trifles.
 What chance had he to dream dreams 1t the bargain counter? Might he not have remained, to quote DeFoe, "a dealer in small wares in Threadneedls street?' How came the world to have . vendor of small wares on so colossal a scale?
 From his boyhood he had been an ad- mirer of the Man of Destiny. He had prints of Bonaparte at all ages. So when he started in business with scant capital, his own office had the atmos- phere of the First Empire. His plans developed more and more and he built a towering cathedral of commerce and extended his trade into chains of stores across the continent. He contracted for the entire output of factories here and in Europe, and carried on his enter prises with a sense of prescience and wonderful intiative- which made him the Napolean of his calling.
 The office in which F. w. Woolworth evolved his plans of conquest for many year, situats on the twenty fourth floor of the mighty structure which he built, is furnished like throne room of the great Emporer of the French.

continue to go begging as they have
in the past, according to information
received from Washington by Serge
