WASHINGTON TEAM
 TO START SEASON
Paper Goods Town Ball Club InYades New London Sunday

Final decision on the makeup of the All-kensington baseball lineup for the first game in New London Sunday afternoon. will be made at the practice session which will be held at the Percival avenue grounds tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Manager Eddie Moore Is unable to mention any players as being mem- bers of the team due to the decision reached earlier in the week that only those players who report for the practice tomorrow will be se- locted as members of the team.
 The Paper Goods Town club opens the season Sunday against the Fort don in the Whaling City. Manager Moore plans to bring the strongest array of candidates possible and it is possible that several combinations will be used in the game.
 The Fort Trumbull team is al- ready in fine trim after several weeks of steady practice. Word from New London has come to the effect that the club this year has Q stronger offensive machine than ever before and this spells trouble for the south End team.
 Close watch will be kept on the candidates who turn out for prac- tice tomorrow afternoon and each man will be judged according to the ability he shows during the work out. Kensington is anxious to win the first game of the year but no more so than the New London out it which is also prying the lid off the season Sunday.
 Manager Moore is busily engaged in arranging schedule for the com ing season. Since the Falcons of ! New Britain have decided to with draw from the Connecticut State Baseball league, 1t is likely that { kensington will now enter the Gen. tral Connecticut circuit because of the fact that the Corbin Red sox, natural rivals of the Paper Goods team. will also be entered. Had the Falcons remained In the Connecticut loop, Kensington would probably have also remained as 6 member. Definite action on the plans of the club for the season will be made within the next few days. 1t is un- derstood, and an announcement as to the route to be followed during the season will probably be made.

TROUBLES IN THE OLD DAYS
William ]. Bingham Unearths
 Rules Of Years Gone by


 Cambridge. Mass. April 27 Pl- Intercollegiate sports in the era pre- ceding the Gay Nineties" had their troubles, according 10 information unearthed by William J. Bingham, director of athletics at Harvard
 Describing the history of athletic control at Harvard in the current is sue of the Harvard A. A. News. Bingham calls attention to the fact that Harvard freshman baseball team was instructed to throw a game to Yale and that football , 1884 style-permitted q player three chances to slug before he was ban ished.
 Among the early athletic commit tee reports which Bingham discov- cred was "one which disqualified a freshman captain from further com- petition because in the Yale fresh i man game he had given orders 10 , his men to play as poorly as pos sible, and the pitcher had hidden i under the grandstand'.'
 l "I have tried to find something 1 more about this game" Bingham writes, but unfortunately the above note was all the light thrown on it." Overemphasis of football seems to go somewhat back of the discussion or the last few years in the light Of records which show that in 1883, 1884, 1899 and in 1903 the faculty asked the athletic committee to inn prove the sport. and in four of the requests urged the abolition of the game. In lSS4 the athletic com mittee took i'll the YaIe-Princcton game at New York and on the next day sent the following letter 10 the faculty;
 According to the rules Of foot ball. player can hack. throttle, butt, trip up, tackle below the knees or strike an opponent with his closed fist three times before he Is sent from the field. The athletic committee have seen nearly all the large intercollegiate contests this fall. In every game there has been brutal fighting with the fists where men had to be separated by other players, or by the officials, or by i bystanders or the police"
 That report killed football at Har- ward for 1895. but the following year. over the protest of the faculty, the sport was resumed.
 Early rules laid down by the first athletic committees were very sim pie. All students were required to take a strength test, no member Of a team was allowed to bet and no student was allowed to play with professionals. The records Of 1884 reveal that one athlete was forced to resign because in the heat of a disputed contest he appealed to the
