ARMSTRONG AND
TILDEN TO MEET in
WILMINGTON FINAL
Each Wins Two Matches and
Play for Right to Meet
Church
THE DOUBLES STARTED
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd

Joseph j. Armstrong and William T.
Tilden. I'd. will meet in the finals of the
Delaware State Tennis meet at Whining
ton Country Club today at 2:30, to decide
who will challenge George NJ Church for
the State tile on Saturday.
Armstrong advanced by a double win
yesterday. He first defeated Ed Hall, of
Moorestown, in straight sets, 6-2, Sc, and
then put 1t to Stanley w. Pearson in a
hard three set battle, 46, 6-2, g. Arm
strong was playing very we'll and is the
favorte to meet Church in the challenge
round. His voleying today was superb,
while his famous backhand chop stroke
was working unusually well. Pearson
played well and forced his more noted op-
ponent hard, often having a real lead.
Tldar met Sid Thayer in the fourth
round and only won by a rs, Sc score
Thayer played well and led In both sets
Mt 5-3. However, in the pinch he did not
have the punch. Craig Bddle easily de-
feated t'ndicott and met Tilden in the
semi-fnal. The result was a long, hard
match, which was only won by Tilden after
33 games had been played, 6-S Ga, So
Biddle had the match in hand at 5-6 and
love-30 in the last set, but unfortunately
for him could not quite pull the two points
The doubles were started and these will
be pushed hard today and Saturday. The
challenge round between Church and the
winner of the Armstrong-Tilden match will
be played Saturday afternoon.

settled down to 33 beat in this last half
mile and not only fought off every effort
of the big Yale men to gain on it, but
moved ahead gradually, although Yale con-
tinually raised its strike to save off impend-
ing defeat, In the last 200 yards Harvard
raised it's beat to SO to the minute and then
came a drive to the oars which fairly made
the shell leap. In this short distance it
gained another half length and passed the
line a good length in the lead, with the
observation train somewhat back of the
crews and the crowds wondering what had
happened.
Last year Yale swept the river in all
three events and 1t was the confident be-
lief of all Harvard men that they would
run away with the varsity race late this
afternoon and thus reverse matters. Nick
alls the Yale coach, let 1t be known last
night that his varsity had come along won
dcrfully in the last two weeks and would
be in to win this afternoon Yale Will go
to the line determined to get the jump on
Harvard and win in the first half mile.
Harvard's eight this morning rowed in
much better style than Yaes, got as much
speed out of its lower strokes as did the
Ellis and by reason Of its style of rowing
had more reserve to sprint with at the nm
ish In fact Harvard got its lead In both
races at the start and finish when the
strokes were highest. Unless Yale has a
much superior varsity the same thing Is
bound to happen late this afternoon when
this race is rowed, and Harvard believes it
has a better eight. 1t should be a clean
sweep for the Crimson.

EVENING LEDGER TRACK AND
FIELD MEET TO BE HELD AT
WOODSIDE PARK TOMORROW

THE first of the schoolboy athletic meets
i to be held weekly at Woodside Park un-
der the auspices of the EVENING LEDGER
will take place tomorrow. The first event
will be called promptly at l p. m. and the
program carried to a completion without
break. Many of the youngsters have been
RnXiously waiting for the opening of the
EVENING LEDGER games and good entry
list Is assured

boys to compete, as no entry fee is charged.
All that is required is for youngster to
satisfy the management that he is bona
tde student, and he can engage in any event
for which he is qualified. Entries will be
received up to noon of the day of the event,
and those boys who are anxious to keep in
good physical condition during tire summer
now will have an opportunity to do so.
In arranging the games the EVENING
LEDGER and Woodside Park management
have been actuated by desire TO help the
schoolboys indulge in their faVorite pas
times under the most favorable conditions
possible. 1t now remains with the boys to
make the meets the success they deserve by
sending in their entries in generous num-
ber.
An effort will be made to secure j. II.
tTed) Meredith, the famous Olympic inter
national and intercollegiate champion as
referee of the games. Meredith is very
much Interested in the welfare of school
boys, and If he can arrange his affairs he
will be found at the finish line at Woodside
Park every Saturday.
All track events will be limited to 44O
yards. This will enable the youngsters to
compete without any possibility of over
taxation Of their physical powers. Field
events will be included in the program after
the hrst two meets have been decided, and

events will be added according to the in
terest taken in the meets,
For the past week the cinder track has
been thoroughly rolled and put into excel
lent shape and fast time is expected from
the boys. This will help the success of the
meet, while the width of the track, 20 feet,
assures the young athletes of plenty of
room without any crowdlng,
Herman Meyer, chairman Amateur Ath-
letiG Union Registration Committee is en-
thusiastie over the outlook for the success
of the games and urges all the boys to go
to Woodside Park tomorrow and take part
in the events. He has promised to canvass
the recreation centres and bring many
youngsters into the EVENING LEDGER ath-
letic fold.
The games already have been indorsed
by the Municipal Athletic League and
Board of Education physical department,
so there is little left to do but for the boys
to get together and make the games the
success they deserve.
Ten events are scheduled for the opening
program tomorrow. Two dashes are set
apart for the midget and junior classes,
while four are set apart for youngsters in
the senior classes,
Boys again are reminded to be on hand

In the National League race and judging
by the way the former worlds champions
are going now, they are going to be up

Weak hitting has held the Braves back,
as the pitching staff has performed much
better than was expected. despite tn fact
that Dick Rudolph has been in bad shape
owing to an injured hand. The Braves
are one team which has been playing below
its normal speed, and is a combination
which is likely to improve as the season

Hughes recently startled the baseball
world by pitching no-hit game The fans
and players were at loss to explain the
remarkable effectiveness of Hughes in his

portant than that, gents, SO gather closely
while we slip you an earfull
Here Is the Answer
stuffy McInnis is hitting again. The
youthful fence buster who has swatted out
an average of 300 or better every year he
has been in baseball, has reganed his bat
ting eve and proved 1t in the two games
against Washington yesterday. He ap-
peared at the plate eight times, drew two
bases on balls, one sacrifice, was out when
he hunted the third strike, hit two terrific
liners right into the helders hands which
would have been good for doubles had they
landed couple of feet on either side, and
grabbed two hits. The official scorer gave
him five times at bat, with two hits, which
is pretty good days work.
McInnis batting this year has been a
mystery. He fell into slump at the start
of the season and couldn't get out of 1t.
In a short time he fell below the 200 mark
and has remained there ever since. He
would step up to the plate time and again
and either strike out or hit weakly to one
Of the nfelders. Occasionally he would get
a hit, but they We're as rare as dry day
IN June. Connie was worried the players
wondered what was wrong, and the fans
were mystified. Why was consistent 300
man hitting the toboggan and batting like
a pitcher? There must be an answer, but
no one could find 1t.
Weakness Discovered
One day last week, in Detroit, the hard
working gentlemen in the press stand
watched Stuffy closely when he came to
bat for the first time.
"A wonderful player" said one. AL
though he is batting way below form, he
doesn't seem to worry about 1t, and his
helding is just as brilliant as ever. Some
thing strange about that slump he is in.
He looks just the same as ever, but he just
can't get going"
Stuffy then tried to hit wide out curve
and missed 1t by several feet.
"There's the answer" the scribe con-
tlnued." Stuffy is plate shy this year Did
you see him pull away from that out curve?
II he keeps up that style, the pitchers soon
will get on to him and he will be out
curved out of the league"
Throughout the game this same thing was
Noticeable, and when the combat was over,

HakaIau Church Wrecked, and
Much Damage Done Build
ingS Near KiIauea Crater
/ Special s.ar-BuIletin Correspondence !


HlLO, Hawaii, Jan. 21.-From all
parts of the island come reports of
tIe damage done by the terrific kona
storm that ragged over the county on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday last.
The wind attained a great force at
times and roofs of houses were in
some places torn off and blown for
considerable distances.
At the Volcano House the worst
storm of many years ragged and the
wind tore the roof off the Kilauea OBJ
seryatory house, the hotels garage and
an clubhouse The big windmill that
pumps water from one tank to the 9TH
ers was also wrecked by the storm.
The tennis court fence was lifted up
bodily and thrown for distance Of
several hundred yards where the pick
cts crashed against the stables.
Along the Hamakua coast the wind
blew with great force and telephone
posts were blown down in many
places. Trees were thrown down
across the wires and a gang of repair
men was kept busy from in the
morning until at night on Tuesday
last, saving and removing trees that
had fallen across the telephone wires.
HakaIau Church Ruined.
At Hakalau the Catholic church was
blown down and it presents a very
wrecked appearance at present. At
Honohina seven telephone posts were
snapped off by the wind, and commu-
nication was cut off for many hours.
However, the repair gangs of the
telephone company were kept busy
and they managed to get the lines
working on Tuesday evening. At Ka-
waihae the wireless operator found
himself up against the proposition of
trying to take and send messages
an atmosphere crowded with
The operator did his best,
but could not handle the messages in
any shape at all, for the electric dis
charges in the air make dots and
dashes just the same as the big send
ing plants do, and all sorts of mys-
terious and unintelligible dispatches
which seemed to be a mixture of Chi
nese, Russian, Hindustani and Eng
fish, puzzled the operator so much
that he had to. give up the idea OF
getting any messages at all until the
storm subsidized.
