Enters Weak Protest
as TO BdrbdridnS
Golden Gate Team Would Hdpe
Victory Annulled on Tho
Flimsy Pretexts
By William Unmack

A special meeting OF the California
cricket association will be called for
next week TO consider a protest lodged
by the Golden Gate team against the
Barbarians. The protest is TO the eff
feet. first. that the Barbarians were not
ready 10 start the game at the time set
by the association Oil o'clock; sec
ondly, that the Barbarlans played a.
man named Spencer, who was a mem
Der OF another club. On these grounds
they ask that the game be awarded to
them
AS to the first allegation, II is a fact
that the game did not start on time. but
no game ever scheduled by the Cali
fornia or any other cricket association
for that matter. started on time To
me this part of the protest seems child
ish in the extreme. Even If the game
had started on time, II would have made
no difference in the result
As for the second allegation the Gold
en- Gate team has not a leg TO stand
on, as Spencer never was a member OF
the Wanderers club. but is fully paid
up member of the Barbarians. He was
not registered as a member Of the
Wanderers until after the game in
question was played, and even now he
is not member OF the Wanderers. as
ne mas PAID no dues 10 that club, nor
has he requested membership therein.
As matter OF fact. Spencer could be
a member OF every club In the associa-
ton if he so desired. though he could
only play with one OF them
II the protest about the time Is al
lowed by the association. then every
losing team in the future will be at
liberty to appeal and quote the Golden
Gate-Barbarian protest as a precedent.
The Spencer incident will be easily
and quickly disposed OF as soon as the
secretary Of the association places the
registration papers before the meeting.

 Miss May Crawford, who assists Mir. Crane, Is placed in the sarcophagus, which is raised from the stage and hung on chains. This sarcophagus is elevated from the stage about three feet, giving the audience a clear view underneath A large trunk Is then wheeled forward to the footlights, The trunk Is built on legs that arc about eighteen inches long and allow the audience to also see under It.

John Drew Rcnews His Youth In
 "Jacls Straw"

'hih FNitbNs
 John Drew has been appearing for several seasons in somewhat elderly parts not exactly old mon, you know, but middle aged. Tn Jack Straw" the comedy by w. Somerset Vaughan, which he will present at the Hyperion tonight, he will lmpersonate young man again not a youth precisely but Il man stjIl in all the vIgor of his early manhood and quite young enough to fall In love with a pretty girl and to woo her in true lover fashion Tt Is true his method of love making Is rather original and not one that can he commented for general adoption, but still it is a method that young man, in similar circumstances, would employ And after all, an actor, like woman, is only as old as he looks and in this piece Mir Drew looks quite youns enough to suit anybody. MT Vaughan has given him some very clever and witty lines to speak and MT, Drew speaks them in a way to bring out all their point In fact, if you like John Drew you must not fall to see him in this play He hasn't done any thing better since he became a star
