Young's 2O1 game and the Young
Preble mixed doubles total Of 319 were

George Isemann, who does or does
not recognize new marks, said Young's
game and the mixed doubles game un-
doubleday would be recognized, as a
foul line judge was on hand when the
sensational games were rolled.
Young's game. should it be recognized,

never with q Judge on the foul line.

old RIVALS CLASH
IN. SCHOOL OPENER
Neither Central Nor Tech,
to Meet Friday, Likely
to Capture Title.

Because Central ana Tech meet IN
the opening game Friday. the 1881 high
school base ball championship series
Will put on at the very start It's biggest
attraction. Though neither Central nor
Tech may win the fiag.-in fact neither
is given the chance conceded by most
unbiased observers to Eastern, the de-
Tending champion--there Is no gainSay-
ing that the struggle between the Blue
and Gray, regardless Of the sport, al
ways Is the big noise. This, despite
that there are several older rivalries n
the public high whirl.
In recent years several other rivalries,
notably that between Eastern and Tech.
have attained considerable prestige. but
1t has not yet even approached the In
terest which ever marks the Tcch-Cen-
trail struggles. Perhaps the reason for
the intense rivalry between the Blue
and the Gray springs from the fact
that Tech Is the outgrowth Of Central.
It Is q sort Of tnternecine struggle,
wnlcn mas gained IN importance with
the years.
It does seem that the schedule makers
would please many fans should they
always put Central-Tech matches in q
spot near the end of the various series,
but, OF course, there would be objection
TO this. Such an arrangement unques-
tionably would sustain interest longer,
even though either or both teams might
be out Of the pennant running % the
end approached. but the other schools
doubtless would, and naturally, too, feel
somewhat resentful at what might ap-
pear to be discrimination.
However, with Eastern coming along
the way it has the last few years and
Business and Western almost sure to
prove stouter opponents soon a. the re-
suit Of having new athletic layouts, IL
perhaps win not be very long before
every clash viii rival In drama the
Tech-Central battles.

0ENTRAL and Tech mines, which

their final tests before that battle to-

Gonzaga and the latter will engage
Hyattsville High on the Monument

o'clock.
Central Highs annual interclass meet,
sponsored by the parent-teacher asso-
citation OF that school, also viii be held
tomorrow in the Central Stadium at
3:15 O'Clock.
Westerns base ball and Eastern's
tennis team are down for engagements
with Episcopal High combinations at
Alexandria.
TONzAGA and Hyattsville are fig-
~ ured capable of furnishing Gen.
trail and Tech plenty of argument.
Gonzaga in its latest start proved
rather easy for Business, but It has
shown to better advantage at other
times this season and Is apt to display
Improvement against Central. Gonzaga
and Central long have been rivals. The
game may give some indication or the
relative strength of Central and Bust
ness.
Central has been rather impressive
thus far. despite that it has lost both
the games in which 1t has appeared.
The Blue fell before the freshman teams
Of Washington and Lee and Virginia,
but put up great struggle in each
game.
Against Hyattsville Tech will be max

~HICAGo, April II. Mo-
many OF the old Grove
~ that saw base ball in Its
younger and more robust
days are left, but Tommy Connol-
~, the American League umpire, Il
one of the survivors. When Con-
molly walks on to the diamond In
New York today to officiate in the
opening game between the Yankees
and Boston Red Sox he will be
starting his thirty-eighth season
as an umpire.
He is the sole survivor OF the hardy
band Of umpires Ban johnson selected
when he was building the American
League into major organization.
Connolly, who was born in Manches-
ter, England, never saw q base ball
game until he was Is years Of age.
Cricket had been his game in the old
country. Soon after his father settled
in Natick, Mass, young Thomas became
attracted to the American game, and it
was not long before he appointed him
self bat boy for the town team.
Never Played Game.
Although he never played the game
he developed o keen knowledge Of its
finer points and later became manager
of the Natick team. He was so success
full that he was offered the leadership Of
the Netick Y. M. G. A. team, q stronger
organization than the town nine, but
declined the position. He wanted to be
an umpire.
Connolly was umpiring independent
ball when Tim Hurst, the famous Ma
tiona League arbiter, saw him In action
and recommended him to the New Eng
land League. He became so eflcient In
that small minor league that In 1898 he
was given . position In the National
League. and remained there until 1901,
when Ban johnson coaxed him to come
with the American. SO now, ut 90, he Is
starting his thifty-fir campaign In the
American League.
Connolly again win be teamed up with
Roy Van GRAHAM and Bill MCGOWAN,
who he refers 70 as his kids" Con-
molly no longer works behind the plate
but spends his afternoons ON the base
lines while the two younger men share
the more ttresone duty Of wearing the
mask and protector. Tommy still can
travel fast pace getting around the
bases and his eyesight Is as keen as
ever.
Has Players Confidence.
Connolly Is held In such respect by
American League players that seldom
do they protest his decisions. For the
players say he very seldom misses one
Umpifing seems to run in the Con-
molly family. Tommy has brother who
has been umpiring In the larger minors
for many years and his son Francis Is
starting TO follow In his dads footsteps
down In the Piedmont League.
However, Connolly as not the oldest
man IN the American League. Willie
(the Kid Gleason. coach Of the
Philadelphi9 Athletics tops him by six
years. Gleason sim can hit grounders
and fi1ngoes with the best Of them and
always bats TO the Athletic tnfleld
before games.
Connie Mack, Of course, Is the daddy
Of them AL, for the Philadelphia leader
is in his sixty-ninth year and stiu going
strong It takes young arms and legs
to play the game, but there stiIl are a
few places left for the old-timers who
knew the game when It was b survival
Of the fittest.
