reluctant bearer caught up with him.
My lord is determined to go on?'
asked Len Ho after they had passed
through the gate and plunged into the
! darkness OF the rutty road beyond
Yes. I prefer the sky for roof If
cannot find a more cleanly place than

severely.
Better the open sky than the fallen

/ What do you mean:"
Spirits lurk In the ruins of the TEN
( pie of the Thousand Eyes and Ten
} Thousand Ears"
I'm not afraid of spirits, Len Ho!
l am more wary Of merciless Chinese
pirate than of a dozen ghosts"
This is a fearsome one. My lord
has never heard of the WEREWOLF"
whispered Len Ho. afraid that some
evil spirit might hear his slandering
words.
"Of course. One can't travel in
China for eighteen months without be-
ing introduced to the werewolf and all
the dragons that infast land and sea-"
returned Thornton.
This is worse than dragons, worse
than the fox faced woman, IT'S the
wolf man. He devours humans" shud-
dered Len Ho.
Il am not afraid" repeated Thorn
ton YEARLY. "All 1 ask is clearly
bed and a nights rest"
IF my lord looks on the face of the
werewolf he will rest forever" pre-
dicted Len Ho gloomily-
I'll take chance on it," said the
traveller grimly. as they turned into the
grass grown path that led up to the
ruined temple on the hilltop.
A full moon was climbing the heavens
and the ruins were plainly visible in
the white light At the foot OF the
rocky gorges, and it's passing sent us
duh, reverberating roar that was
very soothing.
az can fancy I am sleeping down on
the Quanxtet shore" unused Thornton
who was from New England and loved /
the rugged Atlantic coast.
As the two Cinnamon climbed the !
hill in advance OF him Thornton I
thought rather grimly that II might be .
difficult to imagine oneself listening (
TO the Atlantic's roar amid these in
tensely Asiatic surroundings. He was
glad that his journeying was nearly
over and that within three months at
the latest he would be back in New
York relating his adventures to the
members OF the Travellers
club
Len Ho and the bearer disappeared
n broken archway and Thorn
ton found himself climbing crumbling
steps to follow after them. On either
side OF the steps were large stone
figures or dead ana gone priests OF tie 4
temple. and as they stood in various
menacing attitudes the American i'm II
ag!ned that they looked at him with II
ylaring eyes.
Len Ho had made faint light. and
as he swung the paper lantern In the
TO light his master through
the darkness Thornton felt strange
OF impending evil.
1t seemed that he was surrounded by
unseen enemies. He almost felt the
impact of their crowded forms as he
moved forward.
Il will sleep in the courtyard" said
Thornton decisiyely. as Len Ho would
have entered another dark archway
through which the bearer had disnp-
peared.
The spirits viii be dispieased."

He met her in the cleaning and walked
with her awhile;
She straightway struck his fancy and
swayed him with her smile;
She pierced him with her glances, he
hung upon her speech,
And, finding them together, Love elevated
each.
He magnihed her graces and thereby
made her glad.
She sweetly placed within him the girl
ish trust she had;
She grfpped his heart and held him a will
ing captive there,
He drew a promise from her before she
was aware.
He met her in the cleaning and also IN
the street:
with pretty pouts she swayed him and
brought him to her feet:
They rose at midnight, sadly from where
they long had sat:
He kissed her on the doorstep and let II
go at that.

the Keio University Of Tokyo to the
effect that the Japanese universities
want twelve cardinal tossers and their
managers to make the trip, sailing
from San Francisco on the Nippon

will make the return voyage via Homo

university players who administered
a 80 defeat to the cardinals last Mon

to go will probably be che nine regu-

The Stanford undergraduates are ex-
ceedingly proud of the record made b.
the 1913 intercollegiate champions.
Not single series with outside teams
has been lost by this years team.
Goth the University Of Santa Clara
and st. Mary's College, which always
put out teams that play inside ball,
lost their series with Stanford, assdid
Fressley's "All Star" team and the
Olympic club. Stanford made an even
break with Cliff Ireland's big brush
tossers. each team winning two games.
Stanford lost last Monday to the
Chinese players Of Hawaii, but as the
varsity battery did not participate and
as but one game was played, this can
not be considered a series.

Eva, April IL, 1913.
The Sporting Editor, Honolulu Star
Bulletin"
Dear Sir: should be very CRATE
full to you if you would kindly insert
this letter in the column of your Page
of Sports" in vindication of the Eva
representative now playing in the
Castle Cup Handicap Tennis Tourna-
ment" MIR. William EkIund.
You state in tonight's issue that
the idea was that Eklund should play
O'Dowda early in the DAY so that his
match with Henoch could be played
later in the same day, and you was
sarcastic over his apparent unwill-
ingness to meet the later for fear of
being tired.
AS matter of fact, Eklund, before
leaving the courts on Wednesday af-
ternoon, arranged with the proper au-
thorities, and with his opponent, to
play his match early the following
day-not because he desired to play
the semifinals afteFwards-but be-
cause he wanted, what any other ath-
lete would need under the circum-
stances nights rest.
Eklund, owing to the fact that his
tennis matches kept him later than
ELS p. m, had to wait in town on the
two previous nights for the late train,
which carried him to his bed at 1890
8. m. He has to be at his work at
$50 a. m, and has completed a good
third of q city mans days work by
the time your scribe is rubbing his
sleepy eyes at the breakfast table.
AS far as endurance is concerned,
we who have watched the lad develop
ing, and have seen him play on our
home court for hours at a time. know
he lacks it not, nor the sportsmanlike
spirit to meet his: opponent on any
handicap basis at any time. -...~
/ think you will confess, however,
that no athlete can do himself justice
when losing his nights rest, and agree
with me that he would have been
foolish to play his semi-final match
the samea day as his match with
0,Dowda, thereby losing a third
nights rest, for fear that he should
awful sin!-delay- the tournament,
which is six months behind time. a
full day" s+ i:
And now, nay dear Mr.. Editor,
trust that you will prove yourself suf-
ficient of a sportsman to find space
for these few lines, and for few
more over your own signature re.

sarcastic. and, by innuendo, unjust
criticism you have passed on one of

A Classy Start
The game was a splendid one to
start the season with and it is only
to be hoped that the rest of the
games in the series will be as good.
Both teams showed up strong Neither
team displayed any serious weakness
or otherwise the game would have
ended differently. The batteries for
both teams were good. Jnman, of the
juniors, has splendid speed and con-
troll, but as this was the first game
of the season and he pitched the
whole nine innings, it is no wonder
that the seniors scored more hits off
him towards the last,
The next game of the series is to
be played on Wednesday afternoon at
.3:45 D. m. For this game the Fresh
man-Sophomores will mix with the
Juniors. The game will probably go
to the juniors but without doubt il
will be good one. All the games OF

Hawaii's foremost tennis players.
/ am yours truly, .<s .
F. E. GREENFIELD,
Pres. Eva Tennis Club

When William A. Larned, then ma.
tional tennis champion, was in Homo
lulu last year, on the return trip OF
the Davis cup challengers, he spoke
regarding some criticisms in the Aus.
tralian newspapers on the American
style of play, to which his attention
was called by. the writer.
Il have been playing in more or less
important tournaments for the past
nineteen seasons" said Mr.. Larned
land ! have come to the conclusion
that no player is above criticism at
one time or another. In fact, close
observer on the side lines can often
see things that, escape player en-
tirely in the excitement of match.
There are lot of men who could inn
prove their games and their conduct
by paying more attention to what is
said and written about them. The
American team has no complaints to
make on that score" y
Evidently Mr.. Greenfield does not
agree with Mr. Larned on this ques-
ton of tennis methods. which, OF
course, is Mr.. Greenfield's privilege.
Sporting Editor. ..:.'......
To throw more light on Mr. Green
fields communication, the story in
the Star-Bulletin of April IL, to which
he takes exception, is reprinted here
with: -. 49,. -"
'tEklund and his former team-mate
played early in the afternoon, the idea
being that the winner, was to play off
the semi-final with Henoch later.
O'Dowda was willing to do this had he
won, but Eklund feared that he would
be too tiredeto do himself justice. The
cne-match-a-day limit set by some OF
the local players is rather amusing,
when one considers the way players
, are worked in mainland tournaments.
| Where singles, doubles and possibly
mixed doubles are run off at the same
time, it is not unusual for q player to
lie called on for three or even four
hard matches in a single day. and to
come our feeling fresh. Tennis is a
game of endurance as well as strokes
and the eighteen games which Eklund
played with O'Dowda should have
served merely as a warm-up for an.
other match, with an hours rest in
between. By not running off the
match the tournament is delayed a
full day, it having been the intention
to complete it this afternoon.
