The contest brought forth some beautiful tennis. Miss McDonald displaying beau tiful forehand strokes and dashing net play and Mrs. Cushing uncovering some of the prettiest backhand strokes seen in Portland since Mary Browning and .Hazel Hotchkiss were players here several years ago. Mrs. Bills played a great defensive game but her partner, Mrs. Newell, had apparently been weak ened by her hard match with, Stella Fording earlier in the afternoon. This match, too, marked the elim ination of a strong California, contender for the title, Miss Fording winning, 6-4, 6-4, by a pretty exhibition of ten nis. Miss Fording will meet Miss Irene Campbell today in another of the fea ture matches, both being ex-champions of Oregon. Miss Campbell, by the way, had a fine day yesterday, first defeat ing Miss Lucille Bronaugh in the sin gles, 6-2, 6-1, and then eliminating Mrs. Mulder, one of the best Irvington Club players, 6-2, 6-3. Later, paired with Mr. Gray, of Lewiston. she defeated Lieutenant and Mrs. Wittner. Califor nians of no mean ability, 6-1, 6-0, in the mixed doubles. The veterans, A. S. McAIpin and S. B. Cooke distinguished themselves by playing nearly all the afternoon on a single match. McAIpin tried hard to dispose of Bingham but could not quite accomplish it. S. B. Cooke fared better and won in a record match against Ray Froh man. A good men's doubles resulted in the defeat of Goss and Munger by Wood and Morris. The players will report for today's play back on Mr. Elwin s famous clay courts at Irvington.

Olson, who is working in an Olym pia shipyard, is said to be a wizard at the mat game and the 'employes of the concern which Olson works for in the Washington city are staking their bot torn dollar that he beats Gesek. Gesek has appeared in Portland at various times and always has given a capable- exhibition, and followers of the mat game are awaiting with inter' est the outcome of the match. . Golf Balls Rest In Queer Spots. Golf balls in transit often find rest ing places in queer spots. A player not so long ago found bis rubber core rest ing snugly in the harness on the back of a donkey. Going on the philoso phy that they have got to come to rest somewhere, a donkey's harness o the pocket of a flapping coat offers itself as good a hiding place as an other. Nearly every golfer could tell tales of queer places into which balls have dropped themselves or in which they have stopped.

According to Miller Huggins, Frank Baker should be a .400 hitter. Baker has one batting fault which Huggins would like to correct. The latter stakes his reputation as a judge of baseball ability on his prediction that Baker would be a .400 hitter if he will make the change. Baker's fault is overanxiety to hit. with the consequent tendency to take a swing at the first pitched ball. Op posing pitchers realize this and con tinually feed Baker the kind of a ball that he is not likely to hit very far. During, his recent spurt, when he was finishing up his first century of base hits, the Yankee slugger took his time, and he did bat over .400 for quite a long session. But he loves to hit and cannot stand to see & ball go by that is within his reach. Tuthlll In the Service. Harry Tuthlll, once trainer of Young Corbett, the Detroit Tigers and the football elevens at University of Mich igan and West Point, is in Uncle Sam's service. Tuthlll is a First Lieutenant in the National Army Sanitary Corps and is performing the duties of a phy sical director at aviation fields. He is at present stationed at Hazelh'urst Field Mineola, and hopes to be sent to France in the near future. Tuthill has been trainer of boxers, athletes, football and baseball players for 30 years and is highly regarded in the sporting world. Bronson Goes to OWork. TOLEDO, O., July 24. (Special.) Ray Bronson, who several years ago claimed the welterweight champion ship of the world, has qu4t the boxing game and now is working at one of the local shipyards. Bronson is not yet 31, and when the "work or fight" order was promulgated the former pugilist went to work. He recently has been engaged in promoting boxing contests here. Decision Reached to Stay With 'Big Game" to Finish Giving Services In 1 M. C. A. Work Benefiting Many Thousands. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Joe Pipal, the gray-haired football coach of the Oregon Aggies for the past two seasons, will not return to Oregon State Agricultural College this season or the duration of the war. but will continue his work with the physi cal training division of the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Kearney, San Diego, where it is said he will also handle football. Pipal originally signed up to give one Summer of instruction at Camp Kearney, but in a letter to a friend states that the type of work which he is engaged in is so useful that it is his plain duty to throw up his Job with Oregon State Agricultural College. I have decided to stay with the 'big game' to the finish," Pipal said in his letter. I would feel like a slacker to hie myself back to Corvallls and draw a good salary for handling about B0 men when in the Y work directly or indirectly I have a chance to serve 25,000 or 30,000 men." Training- Is Effective. Pipal was appointed football coach at the Oregon Aggie Institution in 1916 when Dr. E. J. Stewart resigned from the Corvallis school to accept the posi tion of athletic director at the Univer sity of Nebraska. In his two years of tutoring the gridiron game at the Cof vallis institution Pipal met with good success. In 1916 the Aggie eleven won five of nine games played. Among the tams boasting a victory over the Ag gies was the University of Nebraska. Washington and Oregon both plastered gooseeggs on the Aggies in 1916 and the Multnomah Club and Aggie Alumni were the others to trample on the black and orange eleven. Idaho, Washington State, Whitman and the University of Southern Cali fornia were on the short end of scores in games played with the Aggies dur ing Pipal's first year at Corvallis. Victory Over Oregon Big Feat. Winning from Oregon was the big gest feat the Aggies performed in 1917. And putting the skids under the State University was indeed a big feather in the caps of the Aggie warriors. Supporters of the lemon-yellow insti tution were quick to arise with the argument that since all of Oregon's gridiron stars enlisted in the Marines the Aggies' victory was a hollow one, but whether such was the case or not it was a victory nevertheless and a great deal of credit was .given Pipa!. The Aggies' game against Washington State, In which the Cor vallis warriors gave "Indian" Dietz's gladiators a big scare even though Washington State won, was taken to man that Pipal had won a home at the Corvallis Institution and among its followers. Old Rumors Recalled. In December last gridiron followers were shocked when rumors began to percolate from the Corvallis Institution that the board of athletic control, con sisting of three faculty and five stu dent representatives, had sent a letter to Coach Pipal representing the senti ments of the "Varsity C'.club which practically demanded the resignation of Pipal. Meier Newman, president of the "Varsity O" club, was captain of the 1917 eleven.. When the rumor broke into' print consternation reigned at Corvallis. Sup porters of Pipal rushed into the lime light with the announcement that It was a disgruntled' lot of athletes that wanted Pipal's scalp. On the other hand, those who were behind the move ment to oust Pipal stated that while ho was well versed in the rudiments of the gridiron game he lacked the ability to Instill punch and fight to the men, which, if true, was unobserved from the sidelines. The authorities at Corvallis evident ly put a strict censorship on all news from within the sacred confines of the Aggie institution because the squabble failed to again break into print, al though there was plenty of bickering last semester. When Pipal left for his new field of endeavor it was rumored he would not return to Corvalllls. Comiskey Will Not Trade Felsch. Owner Comiskey, of the White Sox. vigorously denies a report that Hap Felsch, who deserted the world's cham pions recently, will be traded to the Yankees. Comiskey says that Felsch has been suspended indefinitely ana that he will not be allowed to play with the Sox or any other club in or ganized baseball. Felsch is said to have secured employment in a Pitts- bursr steel milL where he can play ball twice a week. Comiskey is exceeding ly bitter in his feeling toward the players who have left his once invin cible team, presumably to avoid mili tary Bervice. Trotting; Gossip. Oro Fino won at Kalamazoo in 2:03. Sybil Jay, 2:11, one of the winners is a sister of Ruth at Youngstown, O., McGregor, 2:07. The Christian defeated June Bug and The Assessor in 2:09 over the half- mile track at Warren, Pa. John W. Davis Is making another effort to get Lizzie Brown, 2:05. by The Bondsman, in form to go to the races. The Hal B. pacer, Hal Regent, won in 2:14 over the half-mile track at Kearney, Neb. He Is rated as a high class pacer. Tommy Berry Is busy gathering in the money on the Ohio and Pennsyl vania tracks with Worthy Peter and Sam Hurst. Guy Lee had the mount behind Wilkes Brewer when she won at Kala mazoo and reduced her winrace to 2:05, Murphy forcing her out with Chilcoot. With Holyrood Bob out of the way It was an easy matter for Chestnut Peter to win the 3-year-old trot at Kalamazoo In 2:ll. ' On the opening day of the meeting at Northampton, W. Flemming won with Rosa Watts and finished second with Bobby C. and Lord Lockabar. Fred Hyde won three races last Thursday at Northampton, Mass., with Oscar Watts, Patrick Duluth and the 3-year-old filly, Miriam Guy. i The Michigan driver Sturgeon has jjurona, UK la., last month. The Guy Axworthy horse, Joseph Guy. has so such action forward that a spectator at the Springfield. Mass., meeting remarked that he acted as though he had the stringhalt In his front legs. The Real Lady, 2:03, has been retired from racing. Murphy shipped her from Cleveland to Poughkeepsle. She has been turned out and will be bred to Peter Volo, 2:02, next year. The pacing mare. South Bend Girl, by Great Heart, was beaten less than a length in 2:03 in the Edwards Purse at North Randall. She paced the first quarter of the heat in 29 seconds. . W. Crozier took the 2:08 pacers Into camp at Northampton. Mass., with Judge Ormonde. The black horse was right on edge and reduced the track record to 2:07. Edward P. and Baronatta forcing him out.

Patsy P., won a matinee event at Goshen, N. Y.. in 2:12. She is by J. Malcolm Forbes out of Bessie Hughes by Stammont and will be started in the Orange County Circuit next month. Hank Stout. William Patch and Worthy Peter, the three winners on the opening day of the Youngstown meet ing, are 4-year olds. The first two also showed well at the North Randall meeting where Selah Balrd and Red Top, both foals of the same age, were In the money. Baseball on the Inside. By Billy Evans, It Is surprising the great number of players, rated as stars at their position, who would prefer to hold down some berth other than the one at which they gained their fame. In preliminary practice if you look the athletes over you will often find a half dozen of them or more working out at some po sition other than that occupied by them In the regular game. Despite this, it is seldom, that a star at one po sition is converted and becomes equally successful at some other spot. I make mention of that fact because during the last few weeks there has been considerable written as to where the brilliant Stuffy Mclnnls would play with the Boston club. The Red Sox have lost Second Baseman Jack Barry and his able substitute. Harold Janvrln That means some other infielder must be dug up to hold down the keystone sack for Boston. It has been stated that Mclnnls might be shifted to sec ond base, since the Boston club has in Hoblitzel a capable guardian of first base. It is possible that Mclnnis might be a star at second base, but I doubt it. Manager Mack, who knows' Stuffy better than any one else, made an in teresting remark when a New York writer asked him as to what he thought of the suggestion that Mc lnnls be used at second base for Bos ton. "John is a wonderful first base man," was Mack's reply. There is also some talk that Schang may be used at third base for Boston. That would be shifting another star to a position almost foreign to him. In reply to such a thought Mack might possibly reply: "Schang is some catch er." The Idea of shifting Schang to third base Is not entirely a new one. When Frank Baker refused to Join the Athletics several years ago because of a difference over salary Mack w hard put for a third baseman. His re cruits, on whom he had banked to fill the position at least acceptably, had failed him. Now Schang Is a fine hit ter, fast on his feet and has a won derful throwing arm. It occurred to Mack that possibly Schang might prove to be as good if not a better third base man than he was a catcher. Third base was such a weak spot on his team that Mack figured he could spare him from the catching staff If he delivered at third. I happened to be one of the officials In a number of the first games which Schang appeared in the role of a third baseman. Opposing teams be lleve there is no way to put the acid test to a intra baseman than to bunt. Many a recruit has been actually bunt- ea out. oi tne Dig league. Clubs meet ing the Athletics at once began to plan a bunting campaign directed against Schang. I have never seen third baseman play more brilliant ball than did Schang for a couple of weeks after his debut as a third sacker. He took care of perfect bunts in the ap proved manner of a veteran. Aided by his wonderful throwing arm. he made a number of plays that few regular third Backers could have nut over. really thought Mack had at last found the man for the Job. That Connie also thought that way was proven bv a con versation I had with him on the bench one day following a contest in which the work of Schang had been a feature. "Looks as If he would make me forget all about Baker," was the way Connie ummea up tne situation. Cobb likes to pitch better than play the outfield. Hal Chase always was partial to- second base, so much so that he tried to play the bag. but gave It up and returned to his first love. It is the same with a great many of the stars, iney lute to play other positions. but seldom meet with the success that has been their share. I doubt if Mc Innls plays second or Schang third both are satisfied to stick to first and back of the bat. Bandit Gang Executed. EAGLE PASS. Tex.. July 24. Mexican troops pursuing the bandits holding fo ransom Nat Malone and Sam Barksdale. taken from the Pedra de Blanca ranch Monday, have captured and executed Felipe Muequiz and six other members of the bandit gang, according to Gen eral Peraldi, commanding the Mexican federal troop forces at Piedras Kegras. Fastest Six-Heat Race and Fastest Sixth Heat Are Run The Problem Wins 2:11 Pace With - Murphy Driving. TOLEDO, O., July 24.

Favorite Rated Out. Wilkes Brewer, a heavy favorite in the Fort Miami, driven by Pop Geers, was ruled out after the third heat. It was the only race of the day that Driver Murphy was unable to win. Rid ing behind Ante Guy in the 2:11 trot he won after losing the first heat to Heir Reaper with Geers In the sulky Geers in the first and Murphy in the second heat each drove a mile in 2:05. iiurpny also drove The Problem, a winner in the 2:11 pace, against a field of seven.
