Is Held Baseless. PROFESSIONALISM HINTED Sum of $950 for 12-Day Tour by Kahanamoku and Two Other Hawaiian Swimmers Is Too Much, Organization Says. The story that came out of Chicago the other day, and which hints darkly of "professionalism" n the tour of Duke Kahanamoku. Harold Kruger and Clarence Lane, ought to serve to revive any waning Interest In the East ern Invasion of the Hawaiian swim mers. , The A. A. U., or the central branch of that organization, which operates around the Great Lakes, has discov ered that the sum of $950 was turned In for the expenses of the trio, coach and manager during- a 12-day swing through five cities of the Middle West. Naturally, never having ventured far ther west than Kansas City, these ama teur parents of sport feel this charge exhorbltant. ' One might wish that the A. A. TJ. put up against the problem of footing the bills in the dining car these days or of meeting the every-day charges that grow out of a tour of champions. The august body would then have a better conception of whether $950 Is too much or too little for four or five persons in the territory thus indicated, it is argued. It is possible that the Central A. A. U. expects the Hawaiian stars to swim between the cities, but this Is hardly tha season for long-distance aquatics In the Middle West. The charge that tne Duke refused to pose for newspaper photographers Is not likely to hold. While in Portland the Duke not only posed -for every newspaper photographer in the city at any time but also posed for several hundred admiring swimming fans who Journeyed out to Windemuths to watch him swim." The report drifted Into Portland last week that Perry McGUlivray, who scored a victory over the Duke In 220-yard dash, breaking his own rec ord, walked off of the mark, the follow ing day when a 100-yard swhn against the Duke was scheduled.

I sure would like to be in Portland again and would like to meet Muff Bronson or some other good lightweight. Give Frank Kendall and Jack Allen my best re gards when yon see them. I think I will soon get a furlough, as I have been going steady for 14 months and am going to try and make a trip home. I have made four trips over to France and back."

The Cornfoot shipyard team hung a 4-to-l defeat on Harry Cason's Foun dation nine . yesterday " at Vaughn- etreet park. Rube" Evans, for Foundation, and Frank Rapp, for Cornfoot, staged a pretty pitching duel after the second Inning. Although Evans whiffed 13 Cornfoot batters and let them down with three blngles, two "A them of the two-swat variety, he failed to emerge from the fracas on the long end of the score. Rapp kept his eight blngles scattered and only In the first inning did Foundation manage to cross the plate -with a tally. Lee Gets Two-Bagger. Although Evans retired five Corn foot batsmen in the first two Innings via the strikeout route, Perle Casey's warriors chased their foiir runs across during these two frames. Lee's two base hit was the only bingle recorded in the scoring of Cornfoot's tallies. With two gone In the first inning and French on first, Lee pasted the pellet to right center for a double, scoring French. The second Inning proved Evan's nn doing. Rube seemed unable to -locate the emory in his trouser's pocket when he needed it. Fitchner, first Cornfoot batter up in the second Inning, walked. Sutherland grounded to Stumpf, who tossed wide to Casey in an effort to force Fitchner at second. Fitchner con tinued on to third and Sutherland reached second before the ball was re covered. Casey grounded to Sigsby, who "Dooted," tilling the bags. Rapp walk ed, forcing Fitchner across with a run. McKenna struck out. Williams was is sued transportation to first and Suth erland was forced across the plate. Evans uncorked a wild heave, Casey scoring from third. French fanned. Lee walked, filling the bags. With the bases populated Kennedy struck out, ending Cornfoot's scoring for the'day. Foundation Outfielders Rest. Foundation chalked up its lone tally in the first inning when, with one gone, Stumpf singled through short, took sec ond on Peterson's single to center, reached third on McKenna's bobble of Sigsby's-. grounder, which filled the bases, and Rapp forced Foundation's lone tally across when he walked Groce. Not a Foundation outfielder had a putout or an assist. Bill Gleason, catching for Foundation, was credited with 12 putouts and three assists. Gleason was the heavy swatter for th day, getting three bingles out of four times at bat. Score YlIi i-wwn-iv W(fi iff nrnr-lffiii Jbimer Oliphant. The graduation of Elmer Oliphant from the United States Military Acad emy into the ranks of Uncle Sam's war fighters last month marked the passing from further inter collegiate competi tion of one of the greatest athletic stars of all time. No' branch of sports sports held any dark secrets unknown to this blond-haired athletic genius. He proved his right to be listed as master of all on occasions too numerous to bear mentioning. His daring exploits on the ofceckered football field will no doubt remain longer In the memory of present-day sporting fans than any of his other athletic conquests. His midshipman ri vals can bear testimony to the grade of gridiron performance he was capa ble of putting up. The last two victo ries scored by the Army over its old- time Annapolis rival were due almost entirely to the phenomenal playing of this future general. In these games he earned for himself a foremost place among the greatest gridiron stars of our American game. Besides being a star" half back, the WestT Point lad earned for himself the praise of all baseball critics for his good all-around playing on the dia mond. As the battery mate of Bob Neyland, the greatest twirler ever de veloped at West Point. Oliphant earned a reputation for himself that was sec ond to no man in college baseball an nals. Big Offer Refused. Many tempting offers from big-league baseball managers .were made for his services without results. -He turned them all down to finish his task of qualifying himself for a commission un der Uncle Sam. As a member of West Point s un beaten basketball quintet of three sea sons ago he was classed by many court game authorities as among the tastest and most expert forwards developed In the East.

He seemed possessed of the in stinct which told-him Just what play a rival was about to spring on him. He was one of the quickest thinkers in the athletic game. One would . imagine that honors on the gridiron, diamond and basketball court would prove sufficient for any athlete to rest upon his laurels, but not so with this blond-haired athletic wiz ard. He did not stop in his endeavors until he had captured the major honors of the academy at track and field snorts, boxing, wrestling and on the Ice, He won varsity letters in every branch of sDorts at the academy, feeing the first athlete In the history of the mill In 44 Tears of Racing Total of $3,. 332,280 Paid Out in Prizes, and About $90,000 Will Be Added at the October Programme.

He also stood high in his studies at the expiration or nis aca demic course. Rise Is Rapid. The rise of this athlete from the ob scure ranks of a novice to that of one of Wilkes boom was bringing thousands of dollars to Kentucky every week.

The McCormicks started scoring in the very first Inning, making three markers. Barbara, pitching for the losers, had something on the ball, but an error by Wood, the new third baseman,- and one by Danny Shea, coupled ith two blngles, were responsible for the first scores.

Clubs belonging to the United States National Lawn Tennis Association have received from the secretary, Edwin Fuller Torrey. announcement of the national Binglas championship which will begin at Forest Hills, L. I., Au gust 26. This is the first time the title will have been playeYi for since 1916, when Richard M. Williams, II. took the championship away from William M. Johnston. Williams is now an ar tillery officer in France and Johnston is an ensign In foreign service. As a matter of fact, five of the first ten ranking players are "over there" and of the remaining five, George M. Church, R. Lindley Murray and Ichyla Kuraape are the only ones at all like ly to be able to play. Church is an aviation officer In Texas and Murray is running a munitions plant, but an effort will be made to obtain both their entries. The arrival from Japan of Kumagae in time to defend success fully at Utica the New York state cham pionship, puts an interesting angle on the event, for he seems to be playing as well as in 1916, when he was the surprise of the season. Kumagae is number five in the present ranking list and there are comparatively few men in this country who can beat him. The qualifications for entry, adopted in 1917 prevail this year. The re quirements cannot possibly exclude anyone of ability, although they do prevent the tournament being swamped with entries from players who merely like to enter the national. Entries are limited to players who have been ranked during the past five years or have at any time ranked in the first 20 players who during the past three years have been semif Inallsts or better in any two ssanctioned tournaments; players who during 1918 have made a reasonably good record in three sanc tioned tournaments; and players "who do not qualify in any of the above classes but whose entry is acceptable by reason of residence in foreign coun tries, promise of skill or other circum stances deemed sufficient to cause ex ceptions in their cases." The tournament is being played for the benefit of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activi ties, through which the National Asso cation has provided equipment for hundreds of tennis courts in camps. All information concerning the cham pionship can be had, and entries must be made, at the office of the Associa tion, 20 Broad street. New York City. Boulder Schools Drop German.
