OPENED WITH
REGAL POMP
Especial from United Press.y

Especial from United Press.)
London, Feb. 6-King George OPEN
ed the first parliament Of his reign,
this afternoon, in full state.
Accompanied by Queen Mary, the
King drove from Buckir gham Palace
to Westminster in the famous eight
horse, glass panelled state coach and
was cheered by hundreds Of thousands
along the line. AS it was the drst
time the new and as yet uncrownedl
King had performed this function the
occasion was made q gala affair.
Arriving at the main entrance to
parliament, Their Majesties were re-
ceiyed, by State officials and escorted
to the robing room where they donned
the scarlet and ermine. A brilliant pro-
cession was then started to the House
of Lords, where, in contrast to the
sombre colors outside, there was a
phantasy Of colorS, embroideries and
jewels and the Duke Of Norfolk, az
Earl Marshal Of England, headed tfG
procession.
A fanfire from the trumpetery
brought the brilliant assemblage OF
Peers and Peeresses to their feet and
the King and Queen entered and took
their throne seats on the dias. The
Gentleman Usher OF the Black Rod
was then commissioned to summon
the faithful Commons" Headed by
Speaker Lowther and Premier Asquith
the Common appeared in few min
utes and took up their position at the
bar of the House.
Lord Chancellor Lord Loburn, kneel-
ing on the steps Of the throne. handed
to the King the parchment roll on
which was inscribed the first speech
of George the Fifth, to his parliament.
In clear, ringing tones, in marked con-
trast to the indtstinct speech of his
late father, George read his address.
At the conclusion of the speech the
assemblage, led by the Earl Marshal.
shouted, "God Save the King Willis
Their Majesties took their departure.
with another enthusiastic demonstra-
ton.
The Kings address was brief. Among
the questions to come before this ses-
sion he mentioned the veto bill,> work
mems Insurance. payment Of members
an amendment to the aliens act.
He complimented the Duke of Con-
naught on the successful inauguration
of the parliament Of the Union of
South Africa.
Concerning the fight between the
Lords and Commons over the veto
question, the King said:
Proposals will be submitted with
out delay for settling the relations
between the two houses of parliament
with the OBJECT OF securing an enec-
tive working constitution"
The King began his address with
a touching eulogy Of his father, the
late King Edward.
Measures were promised in the adj
dres3 broadening the old age pension
and providing work for the unem-
p1oyed.
The opposition will probably move
a resolution regretting that the King
made no mention of fiscal problems
and alleging that the administrations
unsympathetic attitude toward Eng
lands colonies was responsible for
Canada's reciprocity dealings with
the United States.

GOTCH WILL WITNESS .
HACK and The POLE
Hack Must Gain Two Falls and
ZbySzkO One to Get a Match
With the Champion

Frank Gotch. the champion wrestler
of the world. is to be present at the
ringside when Hackenschm1dt the
Russian Lion. and Zbyszko. the Polish
giant meet at Madison Square Garden
Thursday night This probably means
the making of match for the worlds
title between the winner of the COM
ing contest and the Iowa farmer. Ac-
cording to the articles of agreement
between Hackenschmfdt and the Pole,
the former must throw ZbysZko twice
within an hour and a half to win the
contest.
Should Zbyszko go on the defensive
and not be thrown. he would be de-
clared the victor. but that would not
show him up as the best man and
would hardly justify Gotch. under such
conditions, in side-traclxing the Lion.
However, should he take the agrees
sive and succeed in pinning Curley's
champion to the mat once he will be
awarded decision and possibly get a
match with Gotch. Hackenschmidt
must gain two falls. while Zbyszko
need get only one for chance with
the champion.
UP to now Gotch has not shown any
great inclination to give Hacken-
schmidt a return engagement. but the
fact that he is coming to New York
to see the clash between the Russian
and the Pole shows that he appre-
ciates the fact that the public will
not stand for champion" who has
not retired from the game. as the
minor matches he has engaged in late
ly prove. yet will not show an inclina-
ton to hook up with the top-notch-
erS.
Not a few Bridgeporters will take
in the bout Prof. Jim Atlas has sent
down word to the big city to hold a
block of seats for a bunch of epthu-
siasts whom he is to chaperon.

credit.
The Special machinery boys will
find it rough going for the next few

SUNDAY BASEBALL
ALMOST CERTAIN
Countryside Sentiment Growing
Very Strongly-Bills Pending
in the Legislatures of Many
States

Sentiment in favor Of Sunday base
ball seems to be growing very strong
ly all lover the country. Clergymen of
all determinations have been speaking
out in favor of a liberal policy in the
observance of the Sabbath. The bat
tie for the establishment of the ma
tional game on Sunday is being fought
out in all directions. Bills to that eff
feet are pending in this State, New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and other Eastern States where there
are Sunday laws against the playing
of the game by amateurs.
In this State there a number of the
members Of the Legislature who favor
the game on the Sabbath. Local OPP
ton is their cry. Most of them would
have the question submitted to the
people of each town for decision. One
of the ardent supporters of the Sun
this city
In discussing the merits of the bill
recently, Senator Paddock said:
IF We are to overcome the cam
paign of misreprese that has
been constantly waged against Sun
day baseball we must put the facts
squarely before the voters of the State.
We must show up the absurdity OF the
claim that the movement in favor of
Sunday baseball is an attempt to
break down the American Sabbath.
IL think the working people ought
to have an opportunity to play base
ball Sunday afternoon and do it le-
gally They do it now and 1t can't
be stopped, but they have to steal off
to the country to be safe. Baseball is
the most harmless sport, and it is
good for the boys and enjoyable to
watch. Our parks ought to be used
Sundays as well as week days. The
bill is not intended to legalize profess
sional baseball on Sundays
II believe such a question should be
submitted to the people so that the
majority may rule. In some commune
ties. they may vote against Sunday
baseball and any place where the ma
jorfty favors it they may have it if
the bill passes

SCRUB GAME PLAYED.
Only Remarkable Feature Was the
Enormous Score

Because Judge Oliver was suffer-
ing from the gout and was unable
to attend or secure a substitute. and
Mayor Davis. and Trustees Allen and
Roberts were discharging their du-
ties as officials, and for the further
reason that the little fellows can
play the game, the longs got an aw-
ia beating at the indoor baseball
game played last night The score
at the end of the first inning was 10
10 l in favcr of the little fellows. an
after that the count was lost It
is only fair to say however. that on
ly four of the Commercial club boys
took part in the game. owing to the
fact that prior engagements detain-
ed them. There was the usual di-
versions in the way of falls. how
ever, and the spectators got their
moneys worth. The rules were bet
ter observed than in any previous
game.
