7 D NJ CONNOLLY
DEAN Of ALL
UMP|RES

Tommy Connolly, who umpired
around third base in the opening
contest of the season at Georgia
avenue. is entering upon his thir-
tieth season as an arbiter. This is
his twenty-sixth season in the ma
iors and his twenty-third with the
American League. Yes, and ball
players are pretty generally agreed
that Tommy is one of the best
umpires in the business.
Connolly for years has been
known as a bug on the rules. He
knows the rule book inside out,
backards and forwards. Some folks
believe he's the guy who invented
the rules governing the game.
Handling q game from behind
the plate, the veteran arbiter AL
most never has any fuss with the
players. He has a witty tongue
which he uses to bring laughs TO
the most earnest player in tight
places. He uses excellent judgment
in contro ling unruly players, cap
tains and managers and ball games
in which he performs are smooth
affairs.
Working with Connolly in this
series between the Gr1ffmen nd
the AS are Billy Evans and Ducky
Holmes. Evans needs no introduc
ton. He is the Beau Brummel of
the umpires in both majors.
Ducky Holmes is a former player
now starting upon his first season
as q major league umpire. The
Grjffs had some trouble with him in
New York, especially when he
called them behind the plate. but

President Harding enjoyed his
afternoon much more than he did
that spent at the Yankee Stadium
in New York on Tuesday. He did
not see Babe Ruth crash a truly
Ruthian home run, but he did see
his favorite team win a game
marked by excellent playing all
down the line. Now it is to be
hoped that the Chief Executive will

in spite of that afternoon in New

Zachary was in HIS usual form,
seemingly easy to hit, but really
very hard to fathon when a hit
might mean run. Perkins doubled
in the first only to be left on third.
Slim Harris rolled to Peck in the
second, leaving two runners on the
paths. WEIGH famed with the bases
loaded in the seventh. Zach was a
tough guy at the right time.

With two gone In the fifth, Sam
Rice scratched a hit to Dykes,
moving up when Evans took a

over came Rice. Goslin walked,
but Bucky Harris could only put up
"a little fly for Joe Hauser.
The victory came in the seventh
which opened with powerful three.

Sam Rice was hit on the funny

at Dykes, who got Zach at the
plate.
With Evans on second and Judge
on first, Goose Goslin looked over
the assortment of stuff Slim Har-
ris was using and hammered a
clean single to center. Joey Evans
scampered over the plate and the
Griffs were ahead, to 1, the score

He served formal notice to this ef-

taken this stand unofficially, refusing

Asked his reasons for this stand, Mr..

"My reasons are based on tho teach

that out OF 100 marriages there arc

Convenience in Having Fixed Date
Appeals to Some Of Those in

Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE, March 10.--Ministers
OF various creeds in Baltimore dfffer
as to whether definite SUNDAY
should be set for Easter, instead of
having 1t change each year, as 1t does
at present.
Those who favor having a definite
day set do so on the ground that 1t
would be moro convenient in arrang-
ing church calendars and financial
affairs. and that If It were always in
April a larger attendance on the day
would be assured. The clergymen OBJ
jeoting to change did so on the
the difioulty OF bringing about a
change
Archbishop Michael J. curley OF the
Catholic Archdiocese OF Baltimore.

ting a definite Sunday. He admitted
ways. but said he saw no harm in
