The postponed meeting of the Chi

ment elise tomorrow at E. o. Hall &
The pretty backhand work of C. c.
krumbhaar was one of the features of
the polo game.
Dave Fleming was not as spectacu-
lar as some of the players but when
he missed a stroke it was noticeable
from the fact that he played the steadi-
est game of all the players on the
field.
Harold Castle was greatly disappoint-
ed at not getting a chance to play.
1t looked as if he would have to at
one time, when Fleming was really in
shape for a doctor s care.
Charlie Rice made perfect referee
and was very satisfactory to both
teams.
The number of machines at the game
showed that the automobiles have not
by any means given up their love of
horse flesh.
Bob Shingle did well, but at times
ran away from his position in his
eagerness to follow the ball.
That brace in the last period, was
one which stirred the spectators to
cheers and the autos to honks.
If the goal judges should have lost
their hats no one would have known
when either team scored.

TENNIS FINALS
PLAYED TODAY
L0wrey Meets McKeeVer for
Right to Challenge
Roth.

This afternoon and tomorrow will
complete the mems championship sin
giles on the local tennis courts. The
final match in the tournament will take
place this afternoon at 4:30 at the
courts Of the Pacific Tennis Club and
fine play should be seen. A. NJ. Keever
of Eva will meet A. j. Lowrey of this
city in the trial to see who will play in
the challenge match against Champion
Roth. While McKeever is a strong IA
vorite in the opinion Of the local tennis
experts, Lowrey is playing a much
stronger game than usual, as was
shown by his defeat of H. S. Grey, in
the semi-final round. It was supposed
that Grey would prove an easy winner,
but the opposite turned out to be the
case.
The challenge match will take place
on the same courts and at the same
time on Friday. There will be a big
crowd Of tennis lovers on hand to see
the play, which is sure to be fast and
interesting. Roth is in good shape and
the man who takes the championship
away from him will have to play
strong tennis.

FINE WORK AT
KAKAAKO TRAPS

Though few members of the Hawai-
ian Gun Club took part in the weekly
shoot Cor the challenge cup at the
Kakaako traps yesterday afternoon, the
shooting was of the highest class that
has been seen there for many a day.
Two of the members, K. B. Porter and
J. w. Harvey, tied for first place, both
with perfect scores. In the shoot off
Porter won, taking the next four birds
without a miss, while Harvey fell down
on his fourth bird. The other members
of the club who shot, all made scores
high enough to win in the usual week
1y competitions, but against the clean
work of Harvey and Porter they had
little show.
The scores made were as follows:
X B. Porter, 20 out of 90.
]. w. Harvey, 20 out of 20.
J. A. Robb, Is out of 20.
H. NJ. Whitney, 10 out of rs.
]. Conner, 10 out of %.

HOW THEY JOSH
OUR BARNEY JOY
Hawaiian Already Drafted by
the St. Louis National
League Team.

Barney Joy is so good natured that
he has been chosen as the receiving
end of most of the practical Jokes
sprung in the Pacific Coast League
Here are the details of the very latest
one:
If you are one of the dyed-in-the-
wool boys you have probably noticed,
If you are not too busy talking over
the way Bill Devereaux stood on his
head during the fourth inning, a very
nice fruit stand that is located near
the entrance to the grounds. In fact
this stand is strictly class A in every
particular. Well, after the game last
Wednesday Truck Eagan's eye was
attracted by pile of lucious water
melons that the trusting fruitier had
left piled near the back door of his
stand. These melons looked so good
to Truck that he commenced a flank
movement on the unsuspecting fruit
merchant and succeeded in getting
away with one of the largest in the
pile. Slivers Henley and Nick Will
iams aided and abetted him in this
undertaking. Tucking the melon un-
der enc arm Truck and his partners
in crime started up the street. They
were somewhere near Fourteenth
street, when they met Barney. AS soon
as the big boy spied the melon he
commenced to drool at the mouth
Here" said Williams, carry this;
it is getting too heavy for me-
Barney, always obliging, tucked the
''coons' delight under his arm. AS
soon as he saw this move Truck ex-
cused himself and beat it back to the
fruit stand. Eagan reached the place
out of breath and informed the green
goods man of the theft.
The merchant counted up the melons
and sure enough one was missing.
Truck, Johnny on the spot, volunteer
ed to lead him to the guilty party.
With a policeman they reached the un-
suspecting Barney and the popular
pitcher felt the stern arm of the law
grasping his shoulder and the slack
of his pants, while the fruit merchant
shrilly accused him of the theft OF
course, Barney denied this, and having
been a policeman himself gave the sign
of distress. Nothing stirring. Ding
a-ling went the call for the wagon and
Barney shivered. By this time Slivers
Henley began to get alarmed at the
serious turn that their joke had taken
and attempted to explain matters to
the minion OF the law. The cop. being
a new one on the beat and anxious to
make a record, refused to listen to his
explanations. So Williams posted off
TO headquarters and it took the COM
bined efforts of Danny Long and Jack
Gleason to release the now thoroughly
frightened trio of practical jokers.-S.
F. Bulletin, August s.
Danny Long will lose Barney Joy to
one of the major league clubs beyond
any doubt. Already President Cal Ew-
ing has received communications from
managers asking him to name terms,
but there is no disposition on the part
of the local club to sell Joy. though it
may be compelled to. The Honolulu
star is 8 warm favorite with San Fran
cisco fans. and Manager Long would
be pleased to hold him another season,
and really Barney ought to play an

WANTS TO FIGHT
TOMMY BURNS

Billy Delaney still has unbounded
faith in the ability of his husky pro
tege, Al Kaufman. So much faith
has the veteran trainer in his man that
he is after Tommy Burns hand and foot
for match, bringing forth arguments
that are very hard for the agile Burns
to hurdle Delaney declares that his
man has now had good long rest and
that he has improved in his boxing.
Furthermore, he hit Burns squarely be-
tween the eyes with the argument that
he, Burns, has not conclusively proved
to the public that he is a drawing card.
According to the reasoning of Delaney,
Burns had sneaked upon the heavy
weight title from behind and that he
viii have to do a lot of fighting be-
fore he will convince the general pub
lie that he is entitled to pose as the
champion heavyweight of the world.
Delaney mentioned what a poor draw
ing card Burns had proven himself in
the theatrical line and declared that If
Tommy did not win from more men in
a decisive fashion that this lucrative
branch of the pugilistic field would al
ways be closed door to him. In an
swer to Delaney's impassioned argu-
ments Burns stated that he did not con-
slider Kaufman a drawing card and
that furthermore, he was looking to-
ward match with Jeffries; that he
had a bunch that he was the big fell
low s. master and that he intended to |
challenge the alfalfa MINI in the near
future. Whether or not Ehis is ruse
on the part of Burns to BOOST his theat |
rical stock or whether the size of his |
hat band has increased so much of late |
that he has persuaded himself that he |
really has chance with jeff, it is hard |
10 say. One thing is certain, this as
sertion on the part of Burns is very |
different from his stand directly after

BEST COACH IN
MIDDLE WEST

CHICAGO, July 25.-There is prob
known athletic coach in the coun-
try today than Coach A. A. Stage of
the University of Chicago. He is the
man who has full charge of all the
athletic teams at the Midway institu-
ton, and has developed a great many
remarkable athletes, as well as placing
the University of Chicago among the
four or five leading universities of the
Middle West from an athletic point of
view. Stage is a member of the
faculty, being the head of the depart
ment of physical culture, and receives
a liberal salary from the university.
Coach Stage was a famous Yale ath-
lete in his day, and was well known as
a football player and a varsity pitcher
in the eighties. He graduated from
Yale in 1888, but took a two-years'
post graduate course and then became
physical u4rector in an Eastern school.
In 1892 he came to the University OF
Chicago, and has become the most
prominent and influential figure in
Middle Western athletics. He person
ally has charge of the football and
track teams and all the other teams
are closely supervised by him, although
other men may 90 some of the coaching
on the field When the new football
rules were introduced last season,
Stage was as much at sea as everyone
else in the country in regard to how
the changes would affect the game.
However, he saw the possibilities 1or
speed and scoring power in the more
open style of play, and the result was
that he turned out one of the fastest
teams that has ever been seen IN the
Middle West, and one with tremendous
scoring power. This team defeated the
University of Illinois. which was
good team, by the score of Go to o. III

going up into the fast set. Though he
has done splendidly, he has much to
learn, and besides he needs to have
better control of the ball. But the
writer supposes that Joy will be lost
to the Seals, for if Long fails to sell
him there will be any number of drafts
put in. AS matter of fact, the st.
Louis National League club has al
ready stuck a draft in for Barney.
