NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE DAY IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
COLUhBIA'S TOURNEY
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW
Golf Experiences Boom at Popu-
lar Club.

Tomorrow will mark the opening of
the spring tournament Of the Columbia
Golf Club
This event should attract wide atten-
ton, following as it does so closely on
that of the Chevy Chase Club, in which
Dr. Lee Harlan, who captains the Co
lumha team, won the championship cup
from such good performers as z. NJ.
Beyers, of the Allegheny Club, who de-
feated Walter Travis at Chicago last
fall for the championship of the United
States. and w. c. Carnegie, one of the
cracks of the West Mr. Carnegie will
compete in the tournament on the open
ing daY.
More interest is manifested in this
tournament than in any previous one
held under the auspices of the club. The
enthusiasm was doubtless created by
the success of the clubs members in the
Chevy Chase tournament. Ever since
that event many have applied for ad-
mission to the Columbia Golf Club, and
its membership has largely increased
the past week
Everything is in readiness for the
play. The greens have been rolled and
are IN excellent condition, and 1t would
not be surprising if several of the com
petitors covered the course under boyle.
The entries close this evening.

PENN DECLINES TO ROW
THREE-CORNERED RACE
Asked to Join Middies in Race With
Georgetown at Annapolis.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13-Manager
Frank Topper, of the University Of
Pennsylvania crew, has received On ir-
vitation from Annapolis to row George
town May % on the Govern, making 4
triangular race between Pennsylvania,
Georgetown, and Annapolis. The invi-
tation will be declined. as the Quakers
are scheduled to meet Cornell on May
80 at Ithaca y. Y. and the boats could
not be put in condition by that time.
Pennsylvania will meet Georgetown n
the intercollegiate regatta. There is
still some doubt about the race between
the "Middies" and the Red and Blue
oarsmen next Saturday. This was q
postponed race from May 2. when the
Pennsylvania shell was swamped.
If the contest cannot be decided next
Saturday. there is little chance of it be-
ing held this season 1t is said that the
Annapolis authorities would like TO have
a fortnight instead OF one week in which
to whip their crew together. after the
defeat al the hands of the Yale eight
last Saturday.

MARRIED MEN DOWN
SINGLE BROTHERS
Win Out in Baseball Conflict on Chew
Chase Golf Links.

The married men and the single mem
bers of the Chevy Chase Club lined up
in baseball conflict on the clubs golf
links yesterday afternoon.
Smarting under a previous defeat at
the hands Of their more unfortunate fell
lowclubmen, the married men went 1T
the bachelors for all they were worth
and pounded out defeat to them by the
score of 16 to II.
The portly bankers and brokers, how
ever, were unable to stand the strain Of
a nine-inning contest, so they called it
quits after five and half sessions had
been played.
Each team has now won a game, and
it is probable that another will be ar
ranged 10 decide who are the better ball
players. The score by innings:
r. H. E.
Married Men, 2 x-16 II I
Single Men-...1 0 0 2 PIP II 8
Batteries-Reber, Dennison and Hibbs;

ST. LOUIS 49, NaSnihSlonr Z.
The rain tried to butt in" and save
the Senators from their customary de-
feat yesterday, but the downpour came
too late 1t waited until the eighth in
ming when the Cardinals were eleven
runs to the good.
The st. Louisians pounded out the
most puzzling of Lees and Wilson's
benders almost at will, while Red
Donahue made monkeys of the States
men, Six hits were the best they could
cop off his delivery. while each st.
Louis player hit the bali for one or
more bingles.
The same loose fielding which has
marked Washingtons playing on the
trip was again in evidence. The Solons
piled I'D five errors.
Martin was the only Senator who
could solve Donahue's delivery. This lad
made a single and a three-bagger. He
also f1elded his position well.

UMPIRE CONNOLLY
TALKS OF HIS WORK
Has Been Baseball Official
for Ten Years.
MANY RADICAL CHANGES
No Appeal Now From a Decision.
Ban JohnsOn's staff Run
the Game.
MANY RADICAL CHANGES

That the umpire is the car of the
game this year is amply attested by the
! following chat with Tom Connolly. AZ
TER a recent game newspaper man said
to him:
Seems as If the umpire today has
little bigger swing than he used to
have
Its a new game altogether" said
Connolly. Say. it's a pastime now;
but when I began the business a man
took his life in his hands when he went
on the. field"
And Tom Connolly ought to know
something about 1t, for he has been an
umpire for ten years. He started in
with the New England League, where he
remained for four years. Then he was
with the National League for three
years, and for the last three has been
with the American.
Old Days Gone.
''Those days have gone,'' he contin-
ued. And I guess there's not an UNI
'pire in the country that wants to see
them back again. You see, when Ban
johnson got hold of the American
League. and became factor in baseball,
there were good many radical changes.
One of the first was in regard to the
power of the umpire He held that If
an umpire was to be Of any use at all
he ought TO be upheld. So he told all
the men on his staff to go ahead and
give their decisions to the best of their
ability. I'll back you up he said, and
he has done so in every instance.
When Mr.. Johnson first took hold
there sometimes was a tendency on the
part of owners or others with influence
to interfere with the discipline of the
umpire, but the president always stood
right by US, and never budged an inch.
Our word is all that is necessary. Why,
1t was not long ago that an umpire who
got into a dispute with player had to
furnish an affidavit signed by players
and spectators to prove that he was
right. They would not take the UNI
pire's word for it. But we don't need
any af1davits now. Our word is law
Umpire's Word Is Law.
rs there no appeal from an umpire's
decision?"
None whatever. OF course, if an UNI
PM Lid TANK UeCl5IOGS udy
day, and should prove himself unfit for
the position, he would soon be removed
but as long as he was umpire he would
be respected"
Don't the players ever make trou-
,ble?"
well. once in while they try to,
but they know it will do no good, for
the umpire is bound to be upheld. Some
times I have to call player down, and
he usually submits. Once in a while,
though, I am compelled TO use harsh
measures"
