Y. NJ. C.. A. tennis tournament, and
will contest the semi-finals. The
Guard Baldwin match will be played
at o'clock this afternoon, and should
result in a victory for the former,
while Cyril Hoogs will likely accoun;
for Marshall on Saturday at 1:30. Ow-
ing to the polo match the finals will
be postponed until next week.
The tournament has been a rather
one-Sided affair, with Guard a stron
favorite from the first. Hoogs has a
chance, but he will have to play bet
ter tennis than he did yesterday to
accept it. The unknown quantity was

ability, but who is badly out of prac-

Arthur Rice at No. is windfall
for Oahu this year Had he not moved
to this island some months ago and
started to play with the locals, they
would have been up against it for a
good back this season. Rice hits the
ball hard, and hn has improved lot
on his backhanders since the spring
Cavalry series. He is good defensive
player, but when he gets started with
the ball he isn't afraid to carry it
right through, as he and Walter Dill

without any confusion or shouting.
Maui Offensive Team.
1t is unfair to judge the Maui team
on the game which three members put
up the other day. with volunteer No
2 from thu local ranks, but. just the
same. the game gave some line on in
dividual ability, and a glimpse of the
general scheme of team play 1t may
be guess, but / am inclined to be-
lieve that Maui is a better offensive
than defensive combination. This,
judged not so much on the play of
the team as on the styles of the in
dividual players. Maui may score, but
l don't think it can keep the other fell
loUS from scoring also
The Maui ponies are generally con-
ceded to be the best string of the three,
but they seemed the other day to be
as was very natural after their jour-
ney, too much up in the air. Road
work will take some of the foolishness
out of them, but polo is the very best
medicine that can be given them, and
this, unfortunately, is barred as there
will be no practise on the. field for the
two days preceding the match. Tn

Ruling
League Meeting Called for To-
night to Consider Barney
Joys Delivery

The j. A. G.s don't like that hall
balk motion of Barney joys, which
caught several of them mapping of
the initial sack in the first game OF
the play-of series last Sunday, and
they have asked for league meeting
TO have the rule construed and the
umpires properly instructed. In fact,
they consider that Barney's gyrations
in the box constituted sure-enough
balk, and they don't intend to let him
get away with II in the next game. If
there is any way Of stopping him.
Joy did great work in nabbing rum
ners at the first corner, and they
weren't all sleepers by any means.
Some of them we're on the lookout
for him, but couldn't. get back in
time, and were nightly disguised in
consequence.
Section of rule "a says: "That
a balk shall be-Making any motion
OF the arm. shoulder, hip or body the
pitcher habitually makes In his
method of delivery, without immedi-
ately delivering the ball to the bat"
IL this is interpreted literally, Bar
ney's motions Sunday were surely a
balk. but. as a matter of fact, calling
balks Is largely left to the umpire 8
discretion, for were the above rule
followedN to the letter, 1t would be
impossible for a pitcher to throw to
first at all, while standing in his box
In last Sundays game Medeiros
caught couple of men on throws that
were identical with joys, only the
latter got away with 1t oftener. It
might be that this latest move on the
J. A. C.'s- part is another attempt at
goat-getting. and that the protest is
aimed more to make Barney nervous
in the box and to blum him out OF
throwing to first. than In any real
hope OF having q ruling given.

CLUB SWINGER
IN HONOLULU

&c swing Indian clubs at all is
quite trick, but To whlrl them con
tinvously for SO hours and so min
utes is a feat that only one man in
the world can. pcrforni. That man
Is Tom Burrows. who calls himself
Tile King of Gu os " anc he has just
arrived in Honolulu from Australia.
Few athletes have had so interest
ing a career as Tom Burrows, and
during a call at this Office yesterday,
he gave some particulars regarding
his connection with athletics. An en-.
thusiast in athletics from early years,
the "King of Clubs" first started on
his career as professional IN 1891
when i'm Melbourne he won the. big
open championship for fancy club
swinging against Is competitors.
Since then his career has been one
of uninterrupted success, eliminating
in his brilliant achievement in Tam
worth On. s. W., lately when he
swung clubs continuously for SO hours
so minutes.
Much Travelled.
Burrows, whose careful mode of
living is largely responsible for his
athletic performances, has a magnifi-
cent collection of trophies and medals
won in different parts of the world.
In 1892 he journeyed to England as
the lightweight champion boxer of
Australia, who was invited to London
by the National Sporting Club. He
had not been long in England before
/. oil
became known, and in March, 1893, at
the Royal Military Gymnasium, Alder
shot, he put up the first endurance
record attempted, namely, s hours Is
minutes.
From that time on he began raising
the record for endurance club swing
ing, giving exhibitions and breaking
his own records in Egypt, Germany
and England. When the South Afri-
can war broke out Burrows dropped
athletics, and went in fof
strenuous active service, as a ser
geant in the Imperial Yeomanry He
couldn't keep away from the whirling
clubs entirely, though, and put up a
SO hour record at Capetown to occupy
bis time between battles.
Appearance Before Royalty.
During his career, Burrows has APP
reared before the late Queen Victoria
and the late King Edward VII, while
he gave special exhibition of boxing
for the German Emperor He has
also given fencing and club swinging
displays before King George and
Queen Mary. On one occasion whilst
in boxing bout before
the King and Queen a rather dis
tressing incident occurred. Every
precaution had been taken to make
the bout a refined display of boxing,
but unfortunately Burrows head dur
ing a clinch came into contact with
his opponents forehead, the result be-
ing that before the end of the round
both men presented a very blood
stained appearance. The Queen, how
ever, quickly took in the situation,
and placed the contestants more at
ease by remaining until the finish
CT the bout.

TALKS AT COLLEGE.

Makes Suffrage Speech.

Mrs Maud Wood Park of Boston
spoke before a meeting of college
girls Wednesday afternoon at Wash
burn college chapel on the subject of
equal suffrage. Mrs. Park has trav-
eled over the world and spoke
briefly of conditions in other countries.
She also abs been doing settlement
work in Boston and touched on the
situation of the women in the poor
districts of her city. THE objections
urged against normal feet for women
in China are identical with those given
by Americans against equal rights FOR
women and men, The Chlnese say
that women with normal feet would
be masculine, for men have big feet;
that woman VINO was not nahulcdp-
ped with defornled feet would go CAD
ding all the while and neglect her
houSehol
THE women themselves do not demand
it. 1t is a poor argument against SUI
frage that not all the women want IT,
1t is true that some women are 50
fortunate as not to need it. but the
exceptional happiness of one woman
should not be the standard of another
womans needs, and it is selfish Tor
any woman to oppose the ballot for her
sex because she herself would not e%-
ercise the right of suffrage if she hac
it In Boston I work among the poor
of the city, the so-called low and ig-
norant. but those women, who are
obliged to be away from their families
all day working for living, would al

the side of good government, had they
any voice in it, for the sake OF pro-
tecting their little ones from the temp
