 The directors of the organization meeting last Monday night went into detail on the matter relative to gymnasium activities, following reports of the athletic committee, with the result that the City Anna teur Basketball League and prob ably the Industrial League will have to seek a new playing surface for the 1935-36 season, if they con- tinue operation for the reason that the gym will be in use by "" classes and members, in an effort to make the local organization more attractive to members and possibly attract new members. The Sunday afternoon gymnasium ses- sion will be drastic departure from the established policy of the Y. M. c. A. since its organization in this city.
 Leader Talks
 Confirmation was received this morning by the writer from Physi-' cal Director Charles R. Leader in regard to the anticipated changes. In regard to the Industrial League, some play may be allowed for the purpose of allowing local teams to qualify for play in the state tour nament, but the competition will be very brief, possibly of a weeks duration. That the City League is positively out at the "Y" was con- firmed by Director Leader as fol- lows: "The directors of the Y. M. c. A. have ordered the use of the gymnasium on Sunday afternoons throughout the coming - fall and winter season for members of the "Y" any of whom ma yuse the gym from 1880 to p. m. That, of course, precluded the possibility of the City Amateur Basketball League play on Sunday at the Y as has ben the custom for the past two seasons. We may have some Industrial League games, but they will be few in number"
 What the reaction of City Anna teur League managers and officers of last season will be is difficult to determine at this time, as plans for next season are necessarily lim- ited. With a new playing court needed. if the league does become a reality, and that is in doubt in some quarters due to the poor financial returns of last season, the situation in temporarily stymied, while report on the Industrial League anngle from the standpoint of the teams could not be had at this time.
 One Year Rest
 William J. Derwin, president Of tha City Amateur Basketball League for the past two seasons, had the following to say when in- formed of the situation and de- cision of the YMCA directors: Perhaps that would really help the City League, which really needs a seasons layoff to give hoop interest a chance to awaken in league teams, which was sadly lacking during the past season. Personally, think the returns would be more marked if the games were played on weekday evining, with dancing to follow the game. A hook-up with the National Guard companise at the state armory would be the ideal solution to the situation when and if the league operates again."

LAWSON LITTLE
 EASILY GAINED
 SEMI-FINAL ROUND
Henriques 6 and 4 Victim of American in British
 Amateur

St. Anne e's-on-the-Sea, England, May 24.-(UP)-Lawson Little of California, the title-hoider, scored a runaway victory in the quarter final round of the British amateur golf championship to-day, beating G. l.. Q. Henriques of England, 6 and 4.
 Little took three butts on the sth and halved the hole in 5's when Henriques needed three blows to get home. Henriques went three down when his tee. shot was trapped at the short ninth.
 Nearing Finish
 The weather was slightly cool with an occasional northeast wind blowing across the course. The sun shone internationally. Quarter finals and semi-finals were listed for to-day's play.
 First quarter final match in- volved Eric Fiddian, Walker cup per and Dr. Will Twedell. They are close friends. pr Twedell was one up at the turn. Next came the veteran Tony Torrance and J. Mor- ton Dykes, Jr. They were even at the turn.
 The Little-Henriques match was the third and was followed by the last quarter-finals which involved Alex Walker and Robert Sweeney, Jr. Sweeney was up at the turn. Walker is a son of Sir Alexander Walker, wealthy head of the Johnny Walker whiskey firm. Sweeny is a former New Yorker who now lives in London.
 Little missed a great chance at the third. Herniques put his drive into bunker and was over the green with his second, but Little needed three butts, missing sec- ond one of four feet, to halve the hole in 5's.
 Recovery
 Little saw his iron tee shot trickle into bunker at the 1S6- yard fifth, but he came out beau tifully, the ball, carrying lots of backspin, skidding to stop three feet fro mthe pin. Henriques was short but laid Little stymie which Lawson played safely and they halved in As to leave Little up. The sixth was halved in par As.
 Henriques had horrible at the seventh. He dubbed his sec ond shot from the rough and all most missed q brassie, the ball moving not more than 70 yards on each shot. He was visibly nervous now and raced up to the ball, lam- ming it into a bunker. Little pat ted him on the back consolingly. Henriques conceded the hole after Little missed tyree-foot putt to take a 6. Little was then up.

 Added possibility that the City Amateur Basketball league will be nothing but a memory when De- cember rolls around was recog- nized today with the admission by YMCA officials that the West Main street gym, scenes of Sunday after noon hoop play for the past two seasons will be unavailable next season. No criticism of the league or it's members was made by "" officials as the gym will also be minus the Industrial league weekly games also, the statement coming from Charley Leader simply stat ing that the "" directors have de- cided to have the gym open for members on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings. It the city loop does get going again it will have to choose between the old armory on Phoenix avenue which may be put in shape by then, Buckingham or Eagles hall, with all three of them no bargains as basketball courts.

TO See New
Play First
Charles MiIIhoIIand'S Work
Is to Be Viewed at
Civic Theater.

A home town audience is to pass
first judgment on "Faun,' the new

The script is now in the hands of

interesting glances at the premiere.
Representative of Gotham theatre
cal promoters are to attend opening
night.
The plays plot was suggested by
the life of Nijinsky, though "Faun"
is by no means biographical. 1t is
the story of Valsky, a Russian bal
let dancer who marries against his
managers wishes. The manager,
Sergayeff, breaks his dancers con-
tract and forbids him to dance with
any other ballet.
Valsky tries vaudeville and fails.
The outbreak of the World War
finds him in Salzburg. Austrian Of
ficials discover diagrams that the
dancer has made, and when they &C
cuse him of sending code messages
to Russia, Valsky has to dance for
his life" before a court-martial to
prove the innocence of the drawings.
Later, Sergayeff brings his ballet
to New York and members of the
troupe, finding Valsky there, force
the reluctant manager to take him
back. On opening night, Valsky re-
ceives an accidental injury which
affects his mind
The final scene shows the dancer
in Switzerland, mentally i'll, and in
a final conversation with Sergayeff,
something within him snaps, and
the curtain descends upon a hero
gone insane.

Life Of Prince
in School Told
Romberg 0peretta to Be
Given Three Days.

Sigmund Rombergs The Student
Prince" which comes to English's
Nov. IA, Is and 16 tells the story Of
a young mans life at the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg.
The prince leaves the gloomy
castle, where he was reared, to
study at the university. He forgets
royal dignity and wins the respect
of his classmates because of his
gaiety and spirit.
He meets Kathie, innkeeper's
niece, and they fall in love. But
their happiness is destroyed by
letter from the castle commanding
his return. The prince leaves,
promising he will return.
Becomes King
Two years pass, and the prince
becomes king. At last he escapes
his royal duties and returns to Hell
delberg. Meanwhile Kataie has
realized that they never can marry.
Rather than cause her lover fur
Their unhappiness, she pretends to
love another.
The book of the operetta is Doro-
thy Donnely's skillful adoption of
the play, "Old Heidelberg" and is
worthy Of the lovely music with
which Romberg adorned it. The
work seems destined to a perma-
nent place in the affection of all
music lovers.
