YANKEES SCORE IN
CARL MAYS CASE
Appellate Division of Supreme Court
Declines to Nacate Injunction
Against Ban Johnson.

An attempt BY the Ban Johnson faction
TO have the Court vacate the preliminary
injunction in the Carl Mays case whereby
the league president and rival clubs are
prevented from interfering with Mays
pitching for the Yankees, fell flat yester-
day when the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court declined the motion. Tho
injunction was granted several months
ago by Justice Robert r. Wagner pend
ing the outcome OF the trial OF the
Yankee clubs suit for a permanent in
junction. The Justices who yesterday
concurred in the opinion fayoring the
Yankees were John Proctor Clark Presid-
ing Justice, and Associate Justices Victor
. DowiinS. Walter Lloyd Smith. Alfred r.
Page and Eugene a. Philbiu.
The Court in brief opinion set forth
it's views of the case as follows:-
There is a sharp conflict in the state
ments of fact in the affidavits which were
presented upon the motion for the injunc-
tion. The case is in a position to be tried.
the witnesses may be examined and cross
examined and evidence adduced which will
enable the Court to definitely determine
the facts and finally dispose of the ques-
tion of the propriety of an injunction in
this action.
THE continuance OF the injunction until
the trial at this season of the year cannot
pre- iudicc any Of the parties. Therefore,
without expressing opinion on the
merits we have decided to affirm this
order--the order of Supreme Court Justice
Robert r. Wagner granting preliminary
i'm junction without cost--but leave to the
defendants to move to vacatc the tempo
rary injunction if the plaintiff Shall not
promptly move the case for trial
Certain it is that the Yankee club is not
putting any obstacle in the way OF a
speedy trial. At hearing before the APP
pellate Court last week Charles II. Tuttle.
counsel for the Yankees, requested that
the case be tried and disposed of before
the baseball season opened. The failure
to have the matter settled to date has not
only left the club in doubt as TO Carl
Mays services but has tied up the worlds
series third place money. Upon the ulti-
mate decision i'm the case will depend
whether the Yankees or Tigers are to be
placed third in the 1919 club standing.
Marvin ". Wynne represented Ban
Johnson in court and again attempted to
prove that Mays was under no mental
strain when he deserted the Red SoX last
July. as the plaintiff alleges. and that he
violated his contract with the Boston club
beca usehe was disEruntled over the lack
OF support by his teammates.
Colonel r. l.. Huston. Of the Yankees
declared yesterday that the case would
undoubtedly come to trial before tho sea-
son opened. probably early in March.

HARVARD PLAYERS
ON TOP IN SQUASH
Crimson Racquet Experts Win Three
Three Brackets in Last
Eight.

Harvard had the edge on the matches
which were decided Yesterday in the con-
tinuation OF the Class p Metropolitan
squash championship on the courts of the
Yale Club. The draw brought out eight
men who are surveying the original list
OF entries One of the most interesting
eatures Of the days dongs was the defeat
OF III. Il. Stern. one of the best players in
the Yale Club team. by ]. A. Richards. OF
the Harvard Club. No one had igured
Stern to 90 down to defeat as easily as
he did at the hands of the Crimson player
Richards had been playing q. strong game
throughout the draw and was figured to
give tSern hard fight. Stern was ex-
pected at least to draw out the atch to
an extra game but Richards played such
sprightly game that he won in straight
games by a score of l5-6 l5-12 In the
opinion OF many who have been watching
tho tournament Richards is picked as the
probable winner OF the championship.
The Harvard man had lot OF good
hands in which he ran up three or four.
Stern. however. nicked Off half q dozen
points in the second game in one Of his
innings toward the end and looked like a
winner but he could ont hold the pace
and was beaten at i5-l2.
The victory of l. IT, Cornell. OF Columbia.
over r. c. OIds. OF Princeton. came as
another surprise party. Cornell was in
the best form that he has shown in q
long time and won in straight games by
a score OF l5-10. 10.
Among tho eight who are left three come
from tho Harvard Club. two rom Yale,
with one each from the Crescent A.C..
Montclair A.C. and Columbia.

AUTOPSY TO BE HELD

William J. Flynn, chief of the bureau
of investigation OF the Department OF
Justice. and Frank Stone. head of the
NewarF office. joined In an effort yes
terday to determine whether John f..
McGuinness. the prohibition agent who
was found dead on the mud flats of
Newark Bay, at Bayonne, late Friday
afternoon, was murdered The Federal
officers were assigned to the task after
a request was made of Attorney General
Palmer by Joseph p. Tumulty, who is a
cousin OF Mrs. McGuinness.
Chief Flynn and his men worked with
the New Jersey police upon the case un-
III late last night, but he declined to
make any statement until thorough
investigation had been made. Acting
Chief Cady ana Detective Donovan OF
the Bhyonne police still stick to the be-
lief that McGuinness shot himself. His
friends and relatives are equally insist
ent that the dead man had no possible
motive for committing suicide and are
certain that he was the victim of boot
leggers whose enmity he had drawn.
IL was announced last night. however,
by Bert DAILY. county physician. that an
autopsy would be held this morning.
An inquest will be held also by Coroner
lntroeasco. Il was said
Two prohibition agents on the staff

have fallen from his grasp.

night that he hoped 10 find out this
