By SID KATZNELL

Everything is in readiness for
the opening Of the 1884 Inter High
Baseball Series today at Eastern
Stadium. The contestants viii be
Eastern and Western, two Of the
strongest teams In the series and
with that in mind q large throng
is expected to be on hand.
Both Western and Eastern per-
formed excellently during exhibit
ton games. Western captured
four contests and lost one, while
Eastern only played two, but
emerged victorious in both. The
Lincoln Parkers hold this seasons
record for scoring the most runs.
They scored "a against Mt. st. Jo-
seph's Of Baltimore.
big Chief" Guyon, Eastern'S
coach, has nominated Joe Sullivan,
sensational southpaw, to hurl,
while Cliff Moore, Westerns men
tor, doesn't know whether to pitch
Ed LoveleSs or Red" Mullock.
Joe Keegin, who starred in the
outer garden last spring, will start
behind the bat for the light Blue
and White nine, while "Huck"
Wynn, who was kept on the side
lines last season because Of
scholastic deficiencies, will don
the mask for western.
Guyon has made several other
important changes in his line-up.
He shifted Joe Mills, leading hit
ter Of the series last year and ail-
high Shortstop, to third base.
Charlie CuozZo. q recruit, has been
given the ShortStop job. Harry
"Seuthpaw" BaSsin, who held
down the initial sack last cam
paign, has been converted into an
outfielder, where he is making
good. He has been fielding like a
veteran and hitting the ball on
the nose with regularity. John
Mccarthy, of football fame, will
take care of the first base job
and bat in the cleanup position.
Capt. Francis "Chee Chez" De
Stephan has been soaking the ball
hard during the exhibition games
and Western expects much of its
captain tomorrow.
Pitcher Sullivan of Eastern will
also have to pitch carefully to
Huck Wynn and Jimmy Corcoran,
catcher and second baSeman Of

Here We Go, Gang

This One Goes For John

NEW YORK, April 17.-Faces
that are gone and memories
Of other days will shadow the
picture for some of us at the
Polo Grounds this afternoon
for this will be the first Ma
tional League opening in 80
years at which John McGraw
was not among those present
and accounted for. True, he
did not lead the Giants to
battle last season, but he was
there when the curtain rose.
And always from then until
his death, his commanding,
familiar figure was somewhere
in the backgrounds part Of
the Giants to the end.
People still write to ask me
If even last year he was not
the power behind the Giant
throne. He was not. That
startling upset of baseball
form was 100 per cent a Bill
Terry triumph. But tradition
and legend die hard and so
long as he lived, the fans
were bound to trace a connec-
ton between the Giants and
McGraW.
That was natural and. to
me, proper. What a man
builds that is good should al
ways be associated with his
name. And none will deny
that it was John McGraw who
built baseball in New York to
unprecedented heights. The
Giants would not have a park
that will seat 50-odd thousand
for their opener, if it hadn't
been for him.
Sincere Tribute
So have a hunch that
the simple ceremony to his
memory just before the start
Of today's game will be one
of the most sincere and dra.
matte tributes ever accorded a
sports figure in this country.

Developed into just the right
handed hitter President Clark
Griffith had been looking for
all these years, and made most
every fan forget Samy West,
who, before Fred's appearance.
was supposed to have been the
best center fielder the club had
possessed since iris Speaker.
Played a whale of a game all
year, despite the fact that his
hitting fell off somewhat in the
fading days of the season, and
starred in the world series. Hit
q home run with two men on

) When Zee Yah" Man
SGLU His Last Game
Johns Last Game

Mrs. McGraw will be present,
seated, at her request, in some
inconspicuous place in the
park.
They can be moving, these
ceremonies, especially If you
chance to have been an inti-
mate Of the one they honor.
Like it was yesterday I recall
the day Hughie Jennings came
down from his last sick-bed
at Scranton, Pa, to attend
an old timers game at the
Polo Grounds.
Also q member Of that now
almost vanished clan, the old
Orioles, the freckled-face, grin.
ming Hughie was as lovable
a guy as you'd want to meet.
During the last years Of his
active career as q Giant coach,
he had been a beer-drinking
companion of Bozeman Bulger's
and mine. That is, when beer
was all we could get.
The "Eee-Yah" Man
Sometimes McGraw would be
along, too.
But, as I was saying, Hughie
dragged himself all the way
down for this game-the last
ball game he ever saw, Incl
dentally-although he could
scarcely walk for muscular
rheumatism. Naturally, it was
out Of the question for him to
be on the field, so he sat
back Of the old press box.
Well, they introduced one old
timer after another until it was
almost time for the league game
and still no mention Of Hugie.
When it began to look as though
they were going to overlook our
partner altogether, Boze and I
could stand it no longer. We
sneaked out of the press box and
up behind the crowd and set up
q loud cry of I'VE want Jen.
nings. We want Jennings"
Crowd Takes It Up
The rest of the crowd took it
up, Of course and finally some
body pointed him out. He stood
and took Q bow. But by this
time that was not enough. Moth.
ing would do but that he show
himself on the field, where we
all could see. So he hobbled out
near the plate, and, as he turned
and DOTTED his hat, he leaned
over to pluck a couple of blades
Of invisible grass, as always, and
then lifted his voice in his base
ball cry-a cracked, "Eee-yah."
They all but tore down the
stands for him then and it
looked for q time as though
they'd never get the real ball
game started. And some Of us
will not forget the day.
Johns Last Look
I sat three or four seats from
McGraw-in that aerial press
coop at Washington-at his last
game, too. That was the final
game Of the worlds series last
fall. The Giants won a thriller,
4 to 3, and as John watched
them race off the field for the
last time they were champions
again. Nothing could have been
more fitting, could it?
And that is one Of the reasons
I'll be roofing doubly hard for
Terry, Hubbell and Co. to come
through with a victory today.
In a way this will be game for
McGraw, and he hated like
poison to see the Giants lose. So
let's hope the boys will come up
with this one for him.

and recommending that the ruling be
made permanent after expiration of
the 60-day trial period was adopted
last night by the Lincoln Park Cit

The action followed a report from a

discuss street car service and traffic
conditions in the city. The confer

Citizens Association last night adopted

The Forest Hills Association also
condemned" the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board for its attitude in Ii
censing two establishments at Con-
necticut avenue and Albemarle street
for the sale of hard liquor.
The question Of equitable tax was
introduced by L. A. Carruthers of the
association, who proposed the resolu-
ton which was adopted after discus
sion. During the discussion it was
brought out that the present low tax
rate on a high assessed value of prop
erty results in misunderstanding Of
the Districts tax situation. Persons
from elsewhere, it was shown, see the
$l.50 per $l00 tax rate and, conscious
of their own $2.25 rate, assume that
Washington has it very easy" The
difference, however, members declared.

E. ]. Murphy, former president Of
the Board of Trade, was the speaker
OF the evening. Discussing the prob
lem OF getting employment on local
projects for District residents only,
he said the city of Washington is re-

that reason it is difficult at times to
protect its interests as a municipality
and the interests of its citizens.
He asserted that in 1918 about $12.-
QUO out OF the annual municipal ap-
preparation of $4,000, 900 went outside
Washington. Today, he said, more
than 100000 of the money leaves

any health restrictions or examina-

advantage.

demnation Of the A. B. g. Board was
the result of the licensing Of two es-
tablishments within its jurisdiction to
sell hard liquors over the protests of
residents of the community. The res
olution pointed out that the associa-
ton members frequently had to appeal
to the police because Of excessive
noise at the places prior to repeal
and that by granting hard liquor IL
censes the A. B. c. Board had aggra-
waited an already bad situation. The
association also criticized tie police
for permitting It's members to testify
before the A. B. c. Board on behalf
Of the license applicants.
