A big surprise and a crushing defeat was the fate of the Tigers when they met the Open, House team at basket- ball Saturday night at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium and were snowed under by the score of 41 to 3. The scoring activities of the losers were confined to one goal from the foul line in the first half and one goal from the field in_the second period. Both teams had out a good follow- ing of rooters, filling the galleries with the best crowd of the season, and plenty_of enthusiasm prevailed. Close guardig by the Open House five broke up the passing game of the Tigers and they played much below their usual form when they found the Open House scoring almost at will. Frisbie of Open House found a way of slipping his man and getting open shots for the basket, registering ten in the game. Galli- van popped in eight, and the fast foot- work and deadly shooting of the Open House five had the Tigers beaten to a frazzle, For the first few minutes of play after the whistle blew, play was fast and furious, with neither team getting much chance at the basket, although Frisble missed a number of shots, which he redeemed later. The first score of the game came on & goal from the foul line by Frisbie for Open House. Drake then registered the first | fleld goal from right under the bas- Ket and a serios of shots by Gallivan and Frisble in quick succession ran the Open House score up to 15, before the Tigers counted one_point on a goal from the foul line by Reed. The half ended with the score standing Open House 21, Tigers 1. In the second half Open House kept on piling up the points, Frisbie shoot- ing six baskets, Gallivan three and Christman looped one in from the side that showed he had the old eye with him. _Caron got the only field goal for the Tigers on a quick pass from out- side, ‘The lineups: Open) House—Frisble rf, Galllvan 1f, Drake, ¢, Christman lg, Brown rg.

Westerly Eleven Too Fast for Norwich Association Football Club—Mayor Lippitt Kicks Off. ~ The assoclation football team of the Norwich A. F. C. tackled a stiff jorb at Sachem park Saturday afternoon, and were defeatod by the stronger Lor- raines of Westerly, $ goals to 1. A cold wind blew across the fleld, mak- ing it unpleasant for spectators, but there wag a good number present and considerable enthusiasm shown. His honor, Mayor Lippitt, was on hand by invitation, and officiated in faultless style at the kickoff, then watching the game through and expressing strong approval of the sport. hortly after 3 p. m., Mr. McClue- gage of Jewett City lined out the fol- lowing teams: Norwich—Goal, Mori arty; backs, J. Andrews, J. Moriarty halves, Wharon, Critchley, McComb; forwards, Finlayson, EHilton, Brown, Ferguson, Buckley. Westerl~—Goal, Gordon; _ backs, Ward, Whewell; halves, Fife, Jones, Tetlow; forwards, Tattersall, Keuyon, Whewell, Kenyon, Arnott, When the teams had taken their laces, Manager R. McIntyre of the Vorwich team escorted Mayor Lippitt to the center mark, where McCluggage, the referee, Captain Ward of the Westerlys and Captain Hilton of the loacls were in turn presented to his honor. The Norwich men having the kickoff, the mayor then started the gande by kicking the ball in the di- Tection of the Westerly goal, after which he retired and proceeded to watch the game from an automobil From the start the Lorraines show- ed a fine bit of team work and the Norwich backs and goal Moriarty were hard put to it to keep the ball away. Ward of Westerly was playing a strong game and Ferguson got a bad kick while dodging him, causing the game to stop a few minutes until he was able to resume, limping badly. From a bye-klok, the Norwich right wing gained possession and bore down on Gorder, Whewell, was bowled over by Finlayson and a free awarded to Westeriy Again the da rlues put on the pressure and broushc the ball | by clever combination into dangerous | proximity to Moriarty, where Whew- ell, gaining possession, sent in an ele- gant shot which struck the upright and went through, scoring the first goal for the Lorraines. A short in- cursion by the whites was checked and fast team work on the Westerlys' part again broke down the Norwich defence and Kenyon added the finishing touch | from cloge in. From the center the whites got busy and following a neat bit of individust work on the part of Finlayson, Brown booked one for goal, which Gordon ran eut to clear, but was prevented by Fergusen, the ball going through. No further scoring took piace and at half time the table read, Westerly 2 coals, Norwich 1 goal From the re-start the whites played a rather more determined game, but cre still too slow, their opponents playing with a clockwork regularity | wn they possessed the ball that through the halves' opposition and 1 for good work by Andrews and orarty would have numerous occasions, A shot by Kenyon added one to Westerly's gcore\ and was the only tally in this half. Throughout the haif although the ball was mainly in the Wosterly territory, the whites’ fo wards were seldom’ dangerous, Finlay- son on the right wing did a lot of work which might have been turned to useful account, but he seemed to for get that there were others there to help him and his efforts for the most part ended near the corner flag. A ittle less seifishness and more work given to BrownaFerguson & Co. du ing this half would probs'’- have had Detter results, Final result—Westerly 3 goals, Norwich 1 goal. After the match the visitors, under Manager Taylor, were hospitably en- tertained, Manager R.

A new constitution was adopted and a schedule for next season also at a meeting Saturday moraing * of - the Eastern Connecticut football associa- tion, held at the Y. M. C A. building. President Joseph C. Worth, Jr., of this city presided, and reyresented the Academy, John Hogg of Nesterly, sec- Tetary and treasurer, represented the Westerly high school, John Manley, Windham high school.of Willimantic and Manual Training school of New London was represented by one of the teachers. Bulkeley schooliof New Lon- don had been expected to come into the league this year, but they have now decided not to do se. The new constitution adopted was one prepared at a principals’ meeting a_ short time ago. The principal change it makes is the eligibility rule, by which no post graduates will in fu- ture be permitted to play on a school team and no player over 21 years of age. The articles covering eligibility now read as follows: Section 1. Any bona fide student, matriculated for the then current school year, in any sehool in the asso- ation,” is eligible to membership for five years from the date of his first entrance into such school, subject to the following restrictions: 1—No graduate of any high school or academy of standard grade shall play in any association game. 2—No student whose course of study consists of less than 15 prepared reci- tations a week shall play in any as- sociation game; two unprepared reci- tations peing counted as one prepared recitation. —No student shall play in asso- clation games in more than four sea- sons, 4—No man over 21 years shall play in_any association game. 5—A student who transfers from one school to another shall be eligible to membership ag though he had con- tinued in one school, but his playing time shal] not exceed five years from the date of his first matriculation in any high school or academ: 4 S —The penalty for violation of any section of Artile IX. shall be the loss of the game by the offending team and may be imposed at any time prior to_the awarding of the championship. e The manager of each team 1l present the manager of the op- | sing team, one week before eacl game_ a list of all eligible candidates for his team, signed by the principal of the school. Another point covered was regard- ing individual pemnants. This has been done away with and only one pennant will be awarded, that to the victorious team. President Worth brought up the matter about returning the pennant money to the teams in the league. As the previous Mtreasurer under a mis apprebension had done this there was no money to purchase a_pennant for | the winning team. The meeting straightened this difficulty out, _the money will be returned and the pen- nant bought for the Academy eleven, winners last season, The following schedule was drawn up and adopted: Oct. 2—Norwich at Winaham Oct. 2—Westerly at Ngg London, Oct. am at Westerly Oct. Jew -London at Norwich. Oct. 16—Windham at New London. Oct. 20—Norwich at Westerly.

In the Eastern Connfecticut duckpin league, the final regularly scheduled games will be rolled tonight, but the league is to continue till May 3 to roll off the postponed games. To- night's schedule: Norwich No. 1 vs, New London No. 1 at Norwich; New London No. 2 vs, Westerly No. 2 New London; Norwich Warriors vs. Westerly No.'1 at Westerly. If the Warriors beat out their rivals, Westerly No, 1, tonight, it will go a long way towards driving a spike in the chances of the Westerly team win- ning the pennant, and put the Nor- wich duckpin five comfortably in the ead. Captain Harris of the Warriors was in winning form Saturday night at the Rose alleys and took the daily prize for high single with a string of 118. He also won the high three string total for the week, Young Amateurs on Diamond. The Little Lemons Hard to Squeeze beat the Bean Hill Giants, 9 to 0, be- cause they would not show up. The two managers met them on Franklin &treet. We told them to come down to the Battlegrounds and they sald they would, but they did not show up. The Lincoln Avenues played the Young Lafayettes Saturday safternoon with a score of 25 t0.25. The Lincoln Avenues’ team consisted of Thorne P irer ¢, T. Sayles 1b, Fanning 2b. R, avles 3b, Alling 1f, Eastwood tf. Tie Young Lafayeites were much larger than the Lincoln Avenues. Their bat- tery was Grady p and Branche c. Hanover Wins Here. The Hanover team won an exciting game of baseball Saturday aftermoon from the Independents, 9 to 7. The | weather was poor for baseball, but the players did good work for their first time out this season, Manager Ryan making this a try-out game for those who are candidates for positions on the, Independents.

Race is On This Week in the National . Game. The umpire's call of “Play ball and the crack of the bat will resound throughout the majof league circuits this week, and the baseball season of 1909 will be started on its six months® race pennantward. The eastern wing of the American league will be the first clubs to open the ball season. Athletics Open in New Park. On Monday at Washington the New York Americans will engage the home team, and at Philadelphia the Boston American league team and the Athle: ics will clash at the new park of the American league organization. On Wedngsday. April 14, all the clubs in both lagué will march upon the pi ing fleld and the dash to the pennant pole will commence. - In the National league the eastern clubs will play against each other and the western clubs will start the sea- son on their own playing fields. Brooklyn will cross the river and ple; the New York National leasue club at the Polo grounds in Manhattan, while the = Philadelphias will go northward and meet the Boston team at the Massachusetts capital. In the west, Pittsburg_will engage the Cincinnati club at Cincinnati, and the Chicago club, the world’s champions, will have the 'honor of inaugurating the season at home with the St. Louis club as their opponents. The western branch of the Americas league will get into action next Wed- nesday with Chicago at Detroit. and Cleveiand at St. Louis, the New Yorks playing at Washington and Boston at Philadelphia the first four days of the Lweck, iants’ New Outfield. Radical changes in team composi- tion and changes of managers have this_year increased the uncertainti of the pennant race. In the National league the baseball fan finds that the New York club has practically a new outfleld in Murray. O'Hara and Her- 208, while the pitching staff has been strengthened. The Chicagos will be without the zervices of Catcher Kiing and Second Baseman Bvers during the early part of the season at least, and this is a problem that Manager Chance must last year's standard. Pittsburg Littls Changed, Pittsburg remains prdctically un- change@ from last year's club, which made a game fight clear ta the finish, while the Philadelphias will present the same formidable array of players that last year upset the pennant hopes of New York and other contenders. Roger Bresnaham, former catcher of the New Yorks, is now at the hemm of the St. Louls club, made up of young players. Bresnahan believes his club would prove a stumbling block to many championship aspirants. Griffith Hopeful for Concinnati. The Cincinnati club, with Clark Griffith as its new manager, has se- cured a fine pitching staff and claims first division honors for his club, The Boston club will be guided by Frank Bowerman, who is making no claims but hopes to figure up toward the top at the close of the season. Detroit 'Has Eyes on Pennant Ag Many changes will be noted in the American league. Fielder Jones will be missed from center field and as manager of the Chicago club and Catcher Sullivan will probably suc- ceed him. The Chicagos will continue with prastically the same club as last year. " With Moriarty at third, the De. troit elnb agamn has pennant aspira- tions. Lajoie Sthengthened in Pitchers. Manager Lajole of Cleveland braced his pitching department by the ac- quisition of Cy Young from Boston and belleves he has a championship club which will be in the race from the start. St. Louls will make the race with the same team that did so well last year, while the Philadelphia, Washington and Bosten clubs have been strengthened. New York has a new manager, George Stallings, who has developed a team of youngsters with a few seasoned veterans. PENN TWO LENGTHS AHEAD. Quaker 'Varsity Crew Defeats Yale— Biue's Second Eight Wins. In the first boat race between the two universities in 20 years, the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania eight oared crew defeated Yale Saturday afternoon by two lengths over the 11-2 mi course on the Schylkill river at Phila- solve before his team can come up to| delphia. The crews rowed against a three-quarters head wind the entire and under these circum- mlh time of 8 minutes 5 sec- onds was very good. Yale reversed matters in the preliminary race for the second eight, the Elis winning from the Pennsylvania juniors by a quarter of a length in 8.18 2-5. Yale for the first' time used an English shell and English | oars. The race left no doubt about the su- periority of the Pennsyivania eight. Both Julian Curtiss, the chairman of Yale's advisory rowing committee, and Coach John Kennedy declared em- phatically that the better crew had won. Captain Howe of Yale said his crew had rowed its best and had been beaten fairly. Pennsylvania led after the first half mile and finished with a strong spurt. ‘The summar; Pennsylvania ‘varsity, 11-2 miles, won by Pennsylvania.
