Capt. (Jridley Dead.
The sad news of the death of Cap
tain Girdley, late commander of the
U. S. S. Olympia, which did su:h fine
work in the fight at Manila, was re
ceived on the Peru yesterday morn-
mg. captain uiraiey was in v.nen r.e
was in Hong Kong before departure
to Manila and Admiral Dewey advisf-d
him to stay off the ship but he would
not remain from the fight. When this
was over he began to ail again and
it was finally prevailed upon him to
leave the ship and to go to his home
in the States. He arrived as far as
Kobe, Japan, where he died on Sun
day, June oth. His complaint was
dysentery. The body of the late Cap
tain Gridley will pass through here
on the Coptic.
Commander Lamberton has been
placed in command of the-Olympia.
Captain Coffin, who passed through
on the Peru, was a class mate of the
ate Captain Gridley at Annapolis.
SEMI-FINALS TODAY.
Fennis Tournament in Singles
Narrowed Down.
The semi-finals in the tournament in
singles will be played on the courts
of the Pacific Tennis Club at 4 p. m.
this afternoon. These courts have
)een chosen on account of the fact
that the contestants are all men be-
onging to that organization. The re
mainder of the contestants from the
other clubs were all bowded out yes-
erday afternoon by the wearers of the
scarlet and navy blue. Undoubtedly
this detracts from the interest to the
outsiders as there is never so much
commotion over players of one club
pitted against one another as there
is over players from various organi
zations. It has been a disappointment
all around that the Valley club did
not place more men on the field for
then there would have been some
chance for a representation of at least
,one other club ,in the semi-finals.
Yesterday's play was up to the stand
ard of playing that has been going on
during the matches of singles so far.
The resume of the play is as follows:
Beretania courts Clarence Cooke, P.
T. C, vs. E. A. Mott-Smith, B. T. C,
won by Cooke with a score of G-4, 6-0;
Willie Roth, P. T. C. Junior, vs. Donald
Ross, B. T. C, won by Roth with a
score of 6-1, 6-1.
Pacific courts E. R. Adams, P. T.
C, vs. D. Shanks, B. T. C, won by
Adams with a score of 6-2, 6-3; J.
Cooke, P. T. C, vs. S. G. Wilder, P.
T. C, won by Wilder with a score of
6-1, 6-4.
The play in singles for today is ns
follows:
E. R. Adams vs. C. Cooke and Willie
Roth vs. S. G. Wilder. As was stated
above all these contests will be played
on the courts of the Pacific Tennis
club. ' '
Labor From Here.
Frank Wilburton, who since the
wreck of the S. S. Kaala on the other
side of this Island, has been doing odd
jobs along the wrater front, left for
San Francisco on the Peru yesterday
with SO Japanese laborers. His objec
tive point is Clipperton Island off the
