DEAN OF UMPIRES WAS
NEVER A BALL PLAYER
Tom Connolly, Oldest on John

in Factory.

Tom Connolly. dean OF the AmerI-
can league STAFF, TX one of the ablesr
arbitors In America, yet he is vio-
latior OF every qualification that goes
10 make a capable official.
In the first place. Connolly never
played a game ~ han. Not only that.
hut ho was almost an adult before he
ever knew there was such a game as
baseball. Yet, by dllligent study and
close application. he succeeded where
scores OF men born In baseball and
bonstins of iluslrious careers as fast
set players failed.
Connolly was born In Manchester,
England and came to America mass,
Just about the time Grover Cleveland
was elected president for the first
umo. Tom settled in Natick, Mass
where he stu has home, and went
to work in inAh0e factory
Hurst Discovers Him. E
Eight years after his arrival he was
umpiring semi -profettd onal games IN
Natick. Tom tells how he was drawn
into baseball
III was Tim Hurst who rescued me
can remember II very well. II wa.
on June II, 1898, at Nntick. um.
pred game between two semi-pro.
iessional teams. Hurst happened IL
be In the crowd. After the game he
came around and said.
Say, you ought to be in better
company than this. II get you job
IN the New England league will you
accept"
My c3SNwer-~was hasty yes.
"liut1ont to Tim Murnane, presi-
dent OF the New England league, and
m 1884 | was umpring In the New
England league. and In 1898 Presi.
dent Nick Young gave me a chance
on the National staff"
After that Connolly's success was
assured lie was ON Youne's staff
Tor two years, but In 1900 became All
and was not available for the open
ing OF the season. As "A result he
was crowded out and when he re.
covered later In the season he joined
the New York State league.
Thence To American.
About this time Ban Johnson was
rcady for his thrust against the Ma
honai league He launched the Am
erlcan league IN 1901 as "A full fiedged
major circuit. and one of hts first
acts was to appoint the man from
Manchester 10 his umpire staff.
Connolly has adorned the lob He
Ia about as near perfect as a human
can he. There Is not a pitcher In the
American league who isn't happy
when he sees Connolly strap on a
chest protector lie knowS that he
will get all that he IL entitled to. Tom
