    BA MSS 17 NY Yankees Financial Records

    Collection Number BA MSS 17 Title American League Base Ball Club of New York Records Inclusive Dates 1913-1950 Abstract Records of the American League Base Ball Club of New York and its minor league affiliates, consists almost exclusively of business and financial records, some of which date back to the earliest days of the Yankees organization. This unique collection provides information about the business and financial practices of a highly successful professional sports organization over a period of almost forty years. The collection consists of bound volumes including ledgers, cash books, trial balances, insurance policies, contract record books, contract record file cards, vouchers and invoices, journals, and other business records. The teams with the strongest coverage in the collection are the New York Yankees, Newark Bears, and Norfolk Tars. The collection also includes Yankee Stadium diaries from 1936, 1938, and 1940, which document fan injuries, ejections, and arrests at the stadium. Among the topics covered in the collection are: player salaries, including major players such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio; player transactions, including payments on the purchase of Babe Ruth’s contract from the Boston Red Sox in 1919; gate receipts, both home and away; general business practices; advertising and promotions; concessions; scouting expenses; and travel expenses. Also of interest in the collection is a small amount of material on the Negro Leagues. The Kansas City, Newark, New York, and Norfolk series have documentation on the use of ballparks for the play of Negro Leagues games, including dates, team names, and rent paid. Provenance Donated by the American League Base Ball Club of New York in 1955 and 1970.

    Dean *Anthony Vidler to receive ACSA Centennial Award The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) announced today that Anthony Vidler will receive a special Centennial Award at next week’s 100th ACSA Annual Meeting in Boston. Anthony Vidler is Dean and Professor at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union, where he has served since 2001. The Centennial Award was created by the ACSA Board of Directors in recognition of Dean Vidler’s wide ranging contributions to architectural education. Says Judith Kinnard, FAIA, ACSA president: “Anthony Vidler’s teaching and scholarship have had a major impact on architectural education. We invited him to receive this special award during our 100th anniversary and give the keynote lecture because of his extraordinary ability to link current issues in architecture and urbanism to a broad historic trajectory. His work forces us to question our assumptions as we engage contemporary conditions as designers.” Anthony Vidler received his professional degree in architecture from Cambridge University in England, and his doctorate in History and Theory from the University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. Dean Vidler was a member of the Princeton University School of Architecture faculty from 1965 to 1993, serving as the William R. Kenan Jr. Chair of Architecture, the Chair of the Ph.D. Committee, and Director of the Program in European Cultural Studies. In 1993 he took up a position as professor and Chair of the Department of Art History at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a joint appointment in the School of Architecture from 1997.

    Durable Lollar found niche as White Sox anchor, run-producer By John McMurray Soft spoken and self-effacing, Sherman Lollar provided a strong defensive presence be-hind the plate during his 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox. An All-Star catcher in seven seasons of his 18-year major-league career, Lollar won the first three American League Gold Glove awards from 1957 through 1959. Although he was not known as a power hitter, Lollar hit 155 career home runs and collected 1,415 hits. He also produced one of the White Sox’ few bright moments in the 1959 World Series apart from their Game One victory, a two-out, three-run homer that tied Game Four in the seventh inning. (Unfortunately the Sox lost that game, 5-4.) Even though Lollar played well and received awards during the 1950s, he did not receive as much national recognition as fellow catcher Yogi Berra, who won three Most Valuable Player awards. As Red Gleason wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957, “It is the fate of some illustrious men to spend a career in the shadow of a contemporary. Adlai Stevenson had his Dwight Eisenhower. Lou Gehrig had his Babe Ruth. Bob Hope had his Bing Crosby. And Sherman Lollar has his Yogi Berra.” John Sherman Lollar Jr. was born on August 23, 1924, in Durham, Arkansas. His father, John Sherman Lollar Sr., had been a semipro baseball player and was a veteran of World War I. When Lollar Jr. was three years old, he moved with his family to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where his parents opened a grocery store.

Of Love/Glove, part of his ‘rhyme paintings’ series, Craig- Martin noted, “The conjunction of ‘Love’ and ‘Glove’ has very strange implications... one doesn’t quite know what they are, there’s room for some interpretative manoeuvres. And that speculative manoeuvring is one of the best things about any work of art.” The print is signed and dated by the artist.

As part of the settlement, the hotel owner, GPH MANAGEMENT, LLC, and operator, RFR HOTEL GROUP, LLC, agreed to remove barriers that impeded the accessibility of the hotel, to change hotel policies to benefit persons with disabilities, and to pay penalties. The settlement agreement, in the form of a consent decree, was approved late yesterday by U.S. District Judge ROBERT W. SWEET. Manhattan U.S. Attorney PREET BHARARA stated: "New York City hosts millions of visitors each year, and it is essential that our hotels are open and accessible to all. This agreement helps ensure that individuals with disabilities will have the same access to hotel accommodations that are enjoyed by others." According to the Complaint filed September 7, 2011, in Manhattan federal court: The GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL, located at 2 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, repeatedly violated the ADA and discriminated against persons with disabilities by refusing to accommodate the needs of a guest with a hearing impairment, failing to remove barriers to access, and renovating the hotel in violation of the ADA.
  • Chinatown: a Taste of China in New York City

    Chinatown: a Taste of China in New York City

    Chinatown: A Taste of China in New York City Historical Overview Chinatown in New York City was the second Chinatown created after the one made in San Francisco, California. Similar to the first one, Chinatown was originally a place for Chinese immigrants to come to after getting off their long journey on the ships. Originally the Chinese immigrants came to the West in hopes of getting a quick fortune from the Gold Rush or earning money from working on the Transcontinental Railroad. However, they soon realized that there was no potential to obtain wealth or to gain a job since the railroad was completed. They began to work for low wages at textile or cigarette making factories. However, since these immigrants were working at drastically lower prices, Americans were unable to get a job. This caused tension to grow and the Chinese faced increasing discrimination and violence (Waxman par.2-4). To escape these hardships, a majority of Chinese immigrants began to move towards the East Coast. These immigrants typically lived in the slums of the Five Points and the boundary of New York. By staying together, they would be able to support each other and separate themselves from the rest of society to live their own lives. As a result of not assimilating and stealing jobs, the U.S. government enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This diminished the number of Chinese immigrants who could come to the United States unless they had a special permit to enter. This caused the Chinese immigrants to become devastated because they could not bring their family relatives or friends to join them in the United States.
