Till? MORNING OREGONIAX. SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1P1S- OREGON KID IKES HONORS OF PACIFIC Captain Smith's Fast Craft Captures Second Heat of Free-for-AII. HOODOO FOLLOWS RACERS Driftwood, Washed Down Stream Ty Freshet, Interferes With. Con tests at Astoria Volger Boy Gets Second. . ASTORIA. Or.. July 4. (Special.) The speedboat Oregon Kid is the Cham pion racer of the Pacific Coast. That was decided today when Captain Smith's craft won the second heat in the free-for-all race, making her 10 points to the good, and the best that her only real contestant, the Oregon Wolf, can get, even should she win first place in tomorrow's heat, will be eight points. The Oregon Wolf had engine difficulty soon after finirTiing the sec ond lap in today's big race and was forced to head for the clubhouse for repairs. Despite the rain, which started early in the morning and continued until noon, today was the most successful of the Regatta, so far as the number of x-lsitors was concerneO. The crowd was one of the largest ever seen in the city. The speedboat hoodoo, apparently on a layoff yesterday, was working over time this morning; and the only one of the racers that did not havo engine trouble or meet with some mishap was the little Vogrler Boy, which kept plug ging along and as a result of the acci dents was able to take Becond place in one of the contests. The lage amount of drift that is coming down stream with the freshet was responsible for several accidents, as well as for the much slower time made today, the speeders Being com pelled to run on a wild course to avoid the numerous obstructions. The first race of the day was the second heat of the 16-foot class and tie only contestants were the Baby Sell and Gray Porter and it was won by the former. The result of this heat gives the Bell 10 points in this race, while the Gray Porter has six. The next race was the second heat la the contest between 20-footers, a distance of 10 miles. Entries were the Oregon Kid, Baby Bell, Vogler Boy and Gray Porter. On the first lap the lat ter boat stripped her pumping gear and had to be towed ashore. Baby Bell won, Vogler Boy second, Oregon Kid third. The next race called was the second heat of the free-for-all contest, dis tance SO miles. This was expected to be a real try-out between the two crack racers, in which each would be forced to show the true mettle and develop highest speed. After the second heat it was simply a swing around the course by a single boat, the Oregon Kid. The average speed was 35.2 miles an hour. The last race of the day was the sec ond heat in the 26-foot class, a dis tance of 10 miles. The entries were the Oregon Kid, Baby Bell and Vogler Boy. It was an easy victory for the Kid. with the Baby Bell second and Vogler Boy third. The points In this race thus far are: Oregon Kid 10, Baby Bell 6, Vogler Boy 2.

OFFICERS KNOWN HERE Captain Ellicott and Lieutenant Scranton to Leave Service. In the list of Naval officers selected by the 191S "plucking" board for re tirement are the names of Captain John M. Elliott, commanding the ar mored cruiser Maryland, which is now in Alaskan -waters, and Lieutenant D. E. Scranton, executive officer of the battleship Oregon, both of whom are known here. The work of the "pluck ing" board is regarded by Naval of ficers In the light of routine these days and as the Navy Department must make room for officers of lower grades who are advancing, the fact an officer is selected for retirement is no reflection on him either as to physical condition or his record in the service. Captain Ellicott was stationed here for two years as inspector of the light house district and returned in 1912 as commander of the Maryland to attend the Rose Festival. Lieutenant Scran ton came here in July, 1912, on the Oregon, during the Elks' convention. Retired officers receive three-quarters of their pay for the same, rank. r.rLQUGHLIN LOSES TO NEWZEALANDER A. F. Wilding, by Magnificent Play, Retains All-English Tennis Championship.

The Women's doubles championship was won by Mrs. McNair and Miss D. P. Boothby, who beat Mfs. Sterry and Mrs. Lambert Chambers. ' Wilding Shows Form. Wilding played the greatest game of his life. The match from start to fin ish was of the heroic order, but while the American made many brilliant re coveries, he proved hardly a match for his more experienced opponent. In the first set McLoughlin estab lished a lead of two games to love by splendid base-line shots, Wildmgr drew level at two all. McLoughlin gained a lead of five to three, but he netted a number of balls then allowing wilding, who was driving and placing well, to equalize at five all. The New Zealander took the next game and passed the American frequently and despite a mag nlficent spurt by McLoughlin won, 8-6. Pace Tells on American. McLoughlin appeared a little tired when the second set was called, while Wilding, who has the reputation of being able to play all day without turn ing a hair, was as fresh as ever. Wild ing serving stringly, forged to the lead, 4 to 1. The American then won his service, but he could not maintain the spurt and after losing two games. Wilding with some fine-passing drives won out, 6-3. The third set opened with a pro tracted game which McLoughlin won on his service. McLoughlin Was now lobbing and feeding his adversary s backhand. ' By these tactics he suc ceeded In winning the second game. He lost the third. The next few games were full of in terest. After a tremendous struggle deuce was called thrice. A heroic effort by the American saved him the fourteenth game and he got a lead of 8 to 7, but Wilding show ing no sign of fatigue," drew level and then won two games in succession and the set. Throughout the match the crowd. which numbered 7000, was, according to McLoughlin, sportsmanlike and Impar tial in its conduct.
