The Invention of Spinning.

The invention of the art of spinning
was ascrlbed by the ancients to Miner
va, the goddess of wisdom. The date
1900 B. G. is given as that of the be-
ginning of the art in Greece, under
the direction of the king Of Arcadia,
but pictured inscriptions on Egyptian
monuments show that the use of the
spindle and distaff was known In that
country much earlier. The first distaff
was simply a stick, around which the
fiber to be spun was loosely coiled.
held In the left hand; the spindle was
a sort Of top set In motion by a twirl
of the hand, the fiber passing between
the finger and thumb of the right hand.
This invention was improved upon in
the course of time by placing the spin
die in a frame and making it revolve
by mechanical action of the hand or
foot in connection with a wheel Dr.
treadle, thus giving the true spinning
wheel. The first recorded S of this
was in the early years of the sixteenth
century, but 1t was probably made and
used long before this. The first spin
ming jenny, a machine working eight
spindles, was invented in 1857.

CAL EWING MUST
BE A MISOGYNIST

Marry widow hats are chic, and
there is nothing the matter with the
directoire gowns, but twenty-three with
female baseball players. This is the
cruel stand President Cal Ewing took
yesterday when the manager of the
Chicago Pink Stockings approached
him to rent the grounds for a game.
"There are two things 1 am opposed
to, and they are women in politics, and
women in baseball" said Cal, with
some feeling. "They can wear their
merry widows, and their directories,
and their peek-aboo stockings, but let
them keep out of our game. The Chi
eago girls wanted to play at Recreation
Park next week, but Ie-politely told
them nothing doing Baseball is a
man IS sport, like football and boxing.
The dear girls can play tennis, eroquet
and bridge whist.

not take advantage and played much
too cautious a game.
With all their eautiousness, their bat
ting was good and Fiddes soon return
ed TO the field and Brown took his
place. Fiddes was more lucky in this
position for he caught Jerome just af-
ter he had scored two boundaries and
an easy one that should have been at
least two.
Shortly after this Sanford, the crack
player of the team, was caught by
Buehly and Hillyard and Marshall were
at bat together and proceeded to make
the locals look up, buck up and play up.
Twenty-six for Hillyard and twenty
FIVE for Marshall before they were out.
They certainly made the Honolulu
felders show their sprinting powers

cruise and return to the moorings in

These short cruises are an excellent
thing for boat as they obviate the

prevent blocks and metal parts from
rusting tight and keep all gear and
ropes in working order.

the bat and both Of these played a

that he is when bowling, and he lobbed

struck the bottom of his bat, then

or not.

playing and timely swats Buchly piled
up a pip score and enabled his part

ALAMEDA BOYS BAT WELL,
BUT LOSE BY SIX INNINGS
The Honolulu Cricket Players Even AIameda's
Eighty-Nine With Only Four
Wickets Down.

There really was quite crowd OF
spectators out to see the cricket game
yesterday afternoon at Makiki park. 1t
is true that the Alameda boys went
down to defeat, but by no means a
bad defeat and the SO runs to six wick
cts looks whole lot worse than it
really was.
Now, who do you think was there
to root for the Alamedas7 None but
Al. Thurlow, who was chief steward
aboard that ship for many years. He
occupied a chair at one side of the of
fetal scorer and encouraged the sailor
bat wielders to such effect that they
invariably scored run when he let
loose the fog horn.
When the Honolulu team went in to
bat there was some joshing between Al.
Thurlow and Mr.. Buehly, batter of
well-known steadiness and ability. Fin
ally Al. laid a small wager of some
kind that Buchly would not score
twelve runs. elf he gets twelve, :"
said Mr.. Thurlow, 'Im quit Mr..
Buehly played careful game for sew
eral overs until he had found the bowl
ers and then he proceeded to lambaste
them all over the field. Every ball
that was sent down to his wicket
brought a cheer from the energetic AL,
in the hopes that his friend would be
bowled. But the batter was too wise
and waited until he had made eleven
runs then he shouted to Al. to look
out for the next one. Al. looked out
and he looked long way, for Buchly
swatted that ball across the road into
a hedge and made a boundary four.
Buehly went into a spasm of laughter
and Al. went home.
This was only one incident of very
lively and jolly game. Everybody was
enjoying himself and the cricket play
ed was infinitely superior to that of
three weeks ago when the steamer
players Gould score only twenty-nine in
a full inning.
Alamedas in First.
The Alamedas went in first and
Fiddes and Gait took their stations to
see what they could do in the line OF
bowling. Apparently they coula not
find the sailors very well for Jerome
and Sanford began to do things. The
third ball pitched was swatted by Sand
ford for boundary and the scorer put
down a big f. Then Jerome doubled
and for several overs the two were
kept busy making heel marks on the
mat.
Early in the game the Alameda weak
ness was shown. They were too slow
to run and let go innumerable chances
when they might have made more runs.
The Honolulu fielding was not by any
means perfect and every hit to off field
was good for one more run thar it
looked like, but the ocean batters would

and they both played really clever
and scientific game for many overs.
Hillyard was the first to go out after
long string of boundaries. He ran
up to a no-bal on chance and few
trife too high. Buchly had his
palms upwards and the ball fell neatly
and sweetly into them and the umpire
said, "Out.''
Jordan's Fine Bowling.
Gait had given place to that grand
old player X. A. Jordan by this time
and the veteran was making them take
notice with his slow underhand twist
ers. Time and time again the ball
slowed round the bat and it seemed
that the balls would fall, but each
time it was only a coat of paint lack
ing and the batter still stayed in.
Then Mr.. Jordan took an extra long
run and sent in swift one. Tt did
no damage, but had the effect of max
ing Marshall look for more of the
same variety. That was where he was
fooled. for the next one was a slow
twister that wound round his bat and
wandered against the wickets with
lust sufficient force TO douse the balls.
1t was a beautiful piece of bowling,
and the spectators in the shade of the
Waikiki-end trees jumped into three
compton fits.
That little stunt put the kibosh on
the sea dogs. Maclean and Beardmore
both took a turn at the short run and
a swing, and between them and Mr..
Jordan there was nothing to it. The
other batters went out with one seven,
a few twos, two ones and the big,
round ducks egg, and the side was
out for Just eighty nine runs.
Buchly's Half Century.
The local team had made enough to
win the game before five wickets were
down. Buchly, who started to make
twelve, was near to his half century
when the winning run was made. 1t
was well before half-past six at the
time, however, and so the side stayed
in and the inning was very nearly
concluded before stumps were drawn.
Buchly played on until he had made
his half century and then retired in
favor of the next batter. Jordan and
Beardmore had been his partners at
