THREE TOURNEYS COMING "Wlekersliam, Gorrill, Miss Leadbet ter and Mrs. Northrup Are Ore eon Experts to Compete In Northern Contests. BT RALPH H. MITCHELL. Portland's tennis world will be ably represented at the play for the Pacific Northwest championship honors at Ta coma beginning tomorrow, where Miss Lessle Leadbetter, probably Mrs. W. I. Northrup, Brandt Wlckersham and Ralph Oorrill will be seen in play with the hopes of bringing back at least one or two championships. Miss Hazel Hotchkiss. the National. Oregon state and Pacific Northwest champion, who recently defended her titje here at the state tourney, will de fend her title this week at Tacoma, and her play will be watched with interest by her many Portland admirers and friends. Women Will Play. Miss leadbetter and Mrs. Northrup, both of the Irvlngton Club of this city, and two of the best of the fair sex play ers here, will enter in the singles play, and Miss Leadbetter In the women's doubles with Miss Hotchkiss. There seems little doubt but that the latter two young women will win the honors with ease. Messrs. Wlckrrsham and Gorrill will enter the doubles as well as the singles. Both men have good chances. The latter showed up especially strong in the same tournament last year, reaching the semi finals, where he was defeated by Russell, of Seattle. Joe Tyler, of Spokane, then defeated Russell, winning the champion ship. Tyler will be on hand to defend his title. Gorrill and Breese were run-ners-up in the men's doubles last year, and It Is probable from the game that Wlckersham and Gorrill have been play ing, they will be runners-up this year, if not winners of the tournament. Fits and RusHU. of Seattle, are the present holders of the title. Irvlngton Planning Tourney. Chairman F. H. V. Andrews, of the Irvlngton Club tennis committee, will call a meeting this week of his com mittee to settle upon the date for the Irvlngton Club's annual Fall handicap tournament. As this Is an open event, unusual In terest will be manifested by old and young alike, and the Irvlngton courts every day now are crowded by the en thusiast who hopes to enter this tourna ment, which has become more popular each year through the efforts of those members of the Irvlngton Club who have put their shoulders to the wheel and made the latter move with considerable momentum. It is probable that the tour nament will open August 27, Saturday, and run Into September, skipping Sun day, August 28, or. If weather conditions will permit, it is possible that the open ing day may be set a week later, Labor day, September 5. Kverett Kvent Attractive. Play In the annual Western Washing ton tennis tournament at Everett will open on Thursday of this week, and it Is expected that Gorrill and Wlcker sham may be seen there. Unfortunately, the Everett date Interferes with two days of the Tacoma tournament, but it Is believed by the former club that the play will not be greatlj- hindered during the first two or three days- As the Seattle tournament opens August 9, and there are many Pacific Northwest players who ex pect to enter, these three tennis events in the Puget Sound country for the next couple weeks will be the talk of true sport circles. Clay Court Honors Due This Week. Also this week, a tennis tournament of particular Interest to the West is that for the clay court championship of the United States at Omaha, which will open at the courts of the Omaha Field Club tomorrow, with several Western men entered. Despite the fact that they have not been playing sensational tennis, by en tering every tournament in the East. Hackett and Alexander, the champion double team, still are playing a fast game. Recently In the Westchester, N. Y.. tournament these two veteran players carried off the honors with young N. W. Niles, of Boston, and A. S. tabney, the Harvard expert, runners-up. Speaking of Nlles and Dabney, the play In singles which these clever ten nis cracks put up in the Seabrlght, N. J., tournament a week ago yesterday was one of the best seen for many a moon. Nlles won from his doubles' partner, by a beautiful smashing net game, taking the victory by the scores of 6-8. 6-3. 7-B. On the same day G. F. Touchard. of New York, met and de- feated Theodore Roosevelt Pell, a scion of the house of Roosevelt, In straight sets 6-3. 6-2. Then followed the play for the Acheles cup in singles between Larned. National champion, and Niles, the former suffering a strained muscle in his left leg. But Larned won. following it last week with a victory at Longwood Cricket Club courts, at Brookllne. Mass.. where he defeated Maurice E. Loughlln, the California expert. Bund)' Showing Form. Of Interest to Portland tennis players and the West particularly is the work of T. C. Bundy, the California boy, who yesterday won the West ern championship at Lake Forest, 111., where he had waded through some of the best players of the Middle West. In a smashing exhibition of hard fought, clever play on Tuesday, Bundv defeated Walter Hayes. the Illinois state champion. Hayes taking the first set. the score being, for the match. 3-6. 6-4. 6-2. Then the Pacific Coast star kept pushing right along until he met Harry Waldner, fresh from his laurels of winning the Northwestern cham pionship, on the Deephaven courts at Minneapolis. handily defeating the well-known Chicago southpaw racket wlelder in straight sets, after a hard fight, by the scores 6-2, 6-2, 6-1. Frederick C. Inman.' of New" York City, last week won the New York State championship, when he defeated Lawrence Woodbury, of Orange N J 6-2. 6-2. 6-2. " Many Portland and out-of-town play ers have already been invited to the Breakers tournament, which will open August 22. A. B. McAlptn Is chairman of the committee In charge.

LIST MAY CLOSE MONDAY " With Success of Issne Almost Cer tain, Architects Begin Plans of Xew Clubhouse Tmporary Quarters Xearly Ready. Or-lng to the short business day yesterday not much progress was made with the subscription list for the Mult nomah Club bonds. TDesptte this, the total amount of the subscriptions was brought up to about J150.090, a good showing for only three days' work. Monday morning the bond committee will again take up the task of can vassing, with the end in view of bring ing the list to a close that day. As many Portland business men who are expected to take some of the securities are absent from the city on their vaca tions, an effort will be made to com municate with them by letter. Now that it seems certain that all the bonds will i.e disposed of, active work upon the plans for the new club house is being done by Whltehouse & Fouilhoux, architects. A meeting of the board of trustees of the club has been called for Monday night. Among other important matters for considera tion will be the appointment of a building committee. This committee will immediately confer with the arch itects, that the plans and specifications for the new building may be ready, and .that active work on it may be be gun within a few months. At Monday night's meeting the site for the new building will probably be chosen and arrangements made for leasing the old site.. It is thought a handsome revenue can be obtained by leasing that part of the club property. Though the temporary quarters in the Macleay residence will not be ready for the club officers until to morrow, workmen have been engaged to put the building into shape. Plumb ers and carpenters will begin work the first of the week on shower-baths and lockers in the basement. Most of the club furniture saved from the con flagration will be used to good advan tage.

SPARROW NOT YET BEATEN Sail Area of Swallow Has Been Re duced, and Dancing Sal, Bephyr, Corsair and Others Put In Shape to Race Their Best. What promises to be one of the best yacht races of the season will be held this afternoon by the Oregon Yacht Club over the regular course from the Oaks to Madison bridge and return. The race will be one of a series of five for the championship of the club and a handsome silver trophy cup. It will be gin at 3 o ciocR. So far this year Max Meyer's cham pion yacht Sparrow has had an easy time taking all honors and has never been beaten In a class scratch contest. Last year the trim boat won the chara pionship and wasn't defeated once. Art Sholln s Swallow, which has hereto fore had trouble because of too much sail, has had its canvas area cut to BOO square feet. Formerly the boat carried over 600 feet, too mucd for a craft of Its dimensions. Francis D'Arcy's Dancing Sal has been put In good shape and bids fair to make a valiant try for honors in to day's race. The Zephyr has been going well, too. The Corsair I and II will probably compete In this afternoon's race, and Captain Todd will also enter his fleet Fore-'N" Aft. Following the race between the larger craft, members of the Oregon Dinghy Club will hold a race over the course from the foot of .Ellsworth street to Madison bridge and return. Several new dinghies are now In com mission and will race today. C. V. Cooper's new dinghy won th race on Thursday nigHt after a game struggle with four other craft. After this race the owners of the dinsrhie.s shifted about to different boats and a new race was begun. This developed into a keen struggle in which Commo dore Todd brought His little vessel across the finish line first, but only by a few feet. nbis is the first year of dinghy sail ing on me Willamette River and al ready It has become popular, as in vi denced by the many aquatic devotee now building these boats. The cost of tue little crait fully rigged is less than 50. There are now about six dinghies In commission In Portland. SUICIDE ENDS TROUBLE HIIjLSBORO max, dkspoxdest OVER DIVORCE, ENDS LIFE. Thomas Caudle Brinks Carbolic Acid Under Window of ex-Wife. Deed Carefully Planned. HI LLSBORO, Or., July 30. (Special.) Thomas B. Caudle, aged 46 years, committed suicide about 5 o'clock this morning by taking several ounces of carbolic acid. The tragedy was en acted underneath the window of the Caudle cottage, where Caudle had car ried a cot. About 10 days ago Mrs. Caudle was granted a divorce by Judge J. U. Campbell, her plea being uncontrolable temper and drunkenness. Caudle went to Portland on July 21 and bought a ticket to St. Louis. He went as far as Seattle and returned to this city within a day or so. Since his return he has said repeat edly that he would commit suicide, and the other day tried to purchase a re volver of a local dealer, but was re fused. He then went to the Delta drugstore and asked for carbolic acid, saying he wished to put some of the chemical in bath water. He was re fused, b.ut later succeeded in getting an eight-ounce bottle of the acid. Ever since the divorce was granted Caudle has been despondent, and his friends thought that he was mentally unbalanced. Yesterday forenoon he spent "several hours prostrate on the grave of his late son, Willis, who died several years ago from an accident. Caudle was a member of the Wood men of the World, and carried flOOO insurance, which he recently trans ferred from-the divorced wife to the son. Several notes were left, some unin telligible and some plainly written. The last missives bear out what he had frequently told his friends that he was still deeply attached to the di vorced wife. Caudle was In the habit of going on protracted sprees, but prior to the di vorce he was on the blacklist and was unable to get liquor in any - of the saloons.

Only Five "Regulars" to Return, hut Seasoned "Subs" and Fresh men Brawnles Make Prospects Bright for Victory. CXIVERSTT OF OREGON Eugene, Or.. July 30. (Special.) Although It is early In the season for predictions, local football enthusiasts are already looking forward to the opening of the university next Fall, when the great college game will take its accustomed place in the limelight. The prospects for a winning team here are generally considered good, but not ideal. Of last year's team, five who were classed as regulars are practically cer tain to return. They are Captain "Chuck" Taylor, right halfback: Wil liam Main, right tackle; Dan Mitchell, center, Edward Bailey, left guard; and Earl Latourette. quarter back. Besides these, eight of the subs, who were practically the same as regulars under Coach Forbes two team system, will be found on hand. They are Dean Walker, full back; Graham Michael, end: Llewellyn McKinley, half back; Jack Hlckson, end: Verner Gllles, guard: Ben Chandler, quarter back; Bob Kellogg, guard; and Ben Grout, guard. The team will be much weakened by the loss of ex-Captain Clarke, Pink ham, Dodson, Ktltz and Sullivan, who have been graduated. Elmer Storie and Glen Scott, the two giant line men. will also be assent. Ther have quit college for the ranck. Clarke's will be the hard place to fill, for It leaves Oregon without a punter. Manager Watson and Trainer Hay ward have been scanning the list of applicants in next year's freshman class for the names of prep school stars and announce that the outlock from this source is excellent. Among the new men will be Rupert Edmunds, a husky from La Connor, Wash.; Mc cormick, a back fielder from Rosswell, Idaho, and Fenton, a 200-pounder from Dallas College. Then Noland and Nor. rls, two Portland boys who starred lust year on the Portland Academy team,, are expected to enter the Uni versity In the Fall. They have played back field and end respectively, and are "touted" as comer.-. Oregon's schedule next year will not be as hard as was last year's, but there Is strong possibility that the Northwest championship will remain undecided. For the first time in years, Oregon and Washington will "not meet. It was found impossible to arrange a satisfactory date and the Washington ians had to be left out. For those who follow the game closely, however, there will be some consolation in the fact that Washington and Pullman meet again next year. Aside from this the local schedule is ideal. The hard games come late in the season and are well separated. This was the main fault with .the schedule last year. The hard games LONGWOOD TENNIS PLAY OF NATIONAL INTEREST West Particularly' Attracted to Week's Developments in Massachusetts When McLoughlin of California Proved Runner-TJp Against Larned. v i " - 1 KssMsnaasnsHmiavsHiiiHwsHsvaBnaB'Ksw BROOKLINE, Mass., July 30. (Spo cial.) Probably no tennis tournament outside of the annual National cham pionship play at Newport has ever cre ated so much interest as the play this week for the Longwood trophies here, when William A. Larned, National champion, easily carried off the honors in the singles play, defeating Maurice E. McLoughlin, the California boy, three out of four sets. The West was particularly interested in the Longwood play as the style put up by the Western lad all through the tourney was such as to lead many to believe that he might defeat Larned, who had won the Longwood trophy twice. Winning it three times in suc cession has given him permanent pos session. One of the biggest surprises of the week's play was the easy manner in which young McLoughlin defeated G. F. Touchard, of New -York, one of the cleverest tennis cracks in the county. The match went in three straight sets, 6-4. 6-2. 6-3. Another surprise, and to- many most regretful, was trre defeat of Beals C. Wright, at one time National champion. Since his defeat in Kngland by A. F". Wilding, of Australia, it appears that the American has reached his zenith at the tennis game. To complete the chain of surprises, Wright and Raymond D. Little were put out of the doubles tour ney by the two youngsters from New Tork, G. F. Touchard and C. R. Gard ner. But It was a five-set match and nobody's till the last point had been scored. This result was considered by the gallery all the more remarkable in the light of Wright's and Little's vic tory over Larned and Wrenn the day previous. National Champion Larned was easi ly the most Interesting player of the entire galaxy of stars who took, part here this week. He had just come out victorious from the play at Seabrlght and was determined to win the Long wood trophy for "keeps," and he did so by the defeat of runner-up McLough lin N. W. Nlles, who defeated Toucharl In the semi-finals at Seabrlght a week T. C. Bundy Carries Off Western Tennis Championship at Chicago. CHICAGO, July SO. Thomas C. Bundy, of California, playing perfect tennis, won the Western tennis championship at Lake Forest today, defeating Albrecht Ludke, of .Chicago. In straight sets. 6-2, 6-1. 6-0. Bundy played a running game, keeping bis opponent on the move so constantly that he soon tired. L. H. Waidner and Paul E. Gardner won in the doubles championship, de feating J. C. Neely and H. H. Whitman, 6-2. 4-6. 9-7. 6-3. The chief surprise of the day was the defeat of Miss Carrie B. Neeley, the Western women's champion, by Miss Gwendolyn Rees. of St. Paul. 5-7, 6-2. 7-5. HIBERNIANS GIVE THANKS Appreciation of Portland's Hospit able Reception Expressed. Since the Rational convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, held in Portland from July 19 to July 24. a num ber of letters have been received from delegates in appreciation of the recep tion tendered them on the part of Port land people. The entertainment committee of the local lodge of Hibernians and the Wo men's Auxiliary feel that the success of the meeting was due largely to the as sistance and co-operation of the citizens. The following note of appreciation ex presses the sentiment of the convention committee: 'To the Citizens of Portland The Ancient Order of Hibernians and Ladleef Auxiliary heby extend their most sin cere thanks to all who aided In any manner in making our convention the un qualified soiccess it proved to be.

RUSH TO EUROPE IMMENSE Agent for Atlantic Steamships Says Pacific Coast Sends Many. - Representative of most of the leading Western ocean steamship lines, T. H. Larke, North Pacific Coast . passenger agent, was in Portland yesterday. Mr. Larke reported that trans-Atlantic pas sengers from the Pacific Coast had broken all records this year and the flood had not ceased yet. "People have been so prosperous that tbey have determined to have that Eu ropean trip this year." said Mr. Larke. "And so they have gone in hundreds, even in thousands from the Northwest alone." Mr. Larke's headquarters are In Seat tle and he spoke a little enviously of the tremendous business apparent in all lines in Oregon. "There seems to be some thing doing in every part of the state." he said. Mr. Larke is' agent for the following lines: American Line. Atlantic Transport, Dominion, Leyland, Red Star and White Star. 1 ago, yesterday was expected to be un-ner-up here, but he was put out of play the last day, after showing some of the prettiest tennis ever played ori the courts here. He is a Boston boy and a "comer," according to the belief of those who know tennis and who watched the young man's pls.y here this week. Outside of Larned and McLoughlin the most interesting player of the week was Touchard, whose game at times was a revelation. Several times during his matches he was the bright, particu lar star against his opponents. He used perfect Judgment and timed his strokes to a nicety. His volleying cross-court left nothing to be desired. Wright was far from being in the form he had shown hitherto in cham pionship contests. Heavyweight Event Is Only Record Broken Martin, Gish and Gjllis Are Stars Meet Develops Some Disputes. VANCOUVER, B. C. Julv 30. fSneeiall The Seattle Athletic Club's team today walked off with overwhelming first honors in the annual Pacific Northwest athletic tournament, hel at Brockton fotnt. winning a total of 65 points, the Vancouver Athletic Club finishing second, with S6 points. v The Police Mutual Benefit Society, of Vancouver, represented wholly by Jack Gillis, Canada's all-around champion. iook tnira, wita la points. Vancouver Y. M. C. A. athletes finished fourth with 11 points. The James Bay Athletic Club, of Victoria, was fifth, with 10 points, and me- victoria West Athletic Club was last, with S points. William Martin, of Seattle, will earrv home the Vancouver Athletic Club's trophy cup awarded for Individual honors, he having scored 18 points to Jack GIllls' 15 points. But one record was lowered in the meet, which was a distinct disappoint ment In many ways. This was in the 66 pound weight event, in which Duncan Gillis, of Vancouver, threw the weight 34 feet 10H inches, beating the record maae by A. Talbot of 33 feet 8V4 inches, at the A. A. U. meet last year, held In eattle. The showing made by Brailey Gish. of Seattle, touted as a comer for a try at the American all-round championship, to be held in Chicago this Fall, was also a disappointment, although he rolled up 11 points. Jack Gillis. however. though getting IB points, was distinctly out of, condition, because of a strained tendon in one leg. The meet developed several disputes. Sweeney, of Victoria, and Rir.don. of Se attle, hi the mile run got mixed up on the track. Sweeney getting spiked and Risdon sustaining a nasty tumble. How ever, the judges gave Risdon second place. In the 120-yard hurdles, by agreement, each team withdrew all but one man In the event to avoid having to run heats, and second and third finishers were then disqualified because they knocked over two hurdles in" the race.
