Charles ("Chick") Evans and hie
squad of grolf "missionaries" arrived in
Portland last nig-ht and for three 3ays
the Waverly Country Club links will
be the scene of the most impotrant golf
struggle ever seen in Oregon.

play, with the eight Middle "Western
cracks paired off against the North
western team in 36-hole medal play,
four-ball competition, and. Portland en
thusiasts participating in the play or
witnessing the initial clash of the link
knights on the Waverly turf. Tomor

together in the final two matches of a
series of five, 36 holes each. Then the
Northwestedn team of amateurs will
disband and the Middle Westerners
leave Sunday night for Salt Lake City
on the final lap of the tour.
Western Entries Wanted.
"We are out here to spread the gospel
of golf, acting as missionaries of the
game." says "Chick" Evans, Western
champion, runner-up for the National
championship, and leader of the team
on the longest golf tour ever made in
the United States. "Our trip has been
a magnificent success, with wonderful
interest shown in golf at every place
we have played. We wish to interest
people in our tournaments of the East
and Middle West, so that the North
west will be in closer touch with other
golfing sections of the country."
The team of eight Middle Western
amateurs comprises the pick of the
talent of that section. In addition to
Evans, the most notable figure in the
party, who has thrice won Qualifying
' medals in the National championships,
are Warren K. Wood, of Chicago, who
finished second to Evans in the West
ern championships last year: Ned
Sawyer, of Chicago. Western champion
In 1909; Howard Lee, of Detroit, who
won the Intercollegiate title for Yale
last year; Frazler Hale, the inter
scholastic champion and a boy wonder;
Harry Legg. of Minneapolis. many
times winner of the Trans-Mississippf
championship; Phil Stanton, of Grand
Rapids, Michigan state title holder, and
C. B. DeVol. of Chicago, a stellar per
former on the links.

Sawyer turned in cards of 69 at Seat-
. cu,ua IDr tne course, while Legg

Interim Injunction.
LONDON, June 18. C. Bower Ismay.
owner of Craganour, the disqualified
winner of the Derby, today obtained an
Interim injunction until Friday re
straining the stewards of the Jockey
Club and the stakeholders from parting
with the funds in their hands. He
maintains that Craganour was the win
ner of the race and that the action of
the defendants in dlsquallf ylng the
horse was invalid.
Mr. Ismay, it later became known,
has decided to discontinue the proceed
ings to obtain a permanent Injunction,
which were to have been heard on Friday.

ABERDEEN, Wash., June 18. (Spe
cial.) Since the new law making it a
misdemeanor to fish without a license
has gone into effect, about 200 licenses
have been taken out at the Auditor's of
fice. There is an unusually large num
ber of sportsmen on Grays Harbor, due,
no doubt, to the plentitude of game and
fish.

AUTO RECORD PROMISED
BOB BCRMAX TO TRY FOR MILE
IX 5 0 SECONDS HERE.
Race Driver andi World's Fastest
Machine Arrive to Perform
on Portland Track.
BI WALTER GIFFARD.
A mile around the Country Club dirt
track in 50 seconds or better, is the
promise of Bob Burman, world's fa-
mous automobile driver, who reached
Portland yesterday In preparation for
his death-defying races tomorrow and
Saturday.
"Barney Oldfleld circled the track in
B2 seconds flat last Summer, I under
stand," said .Burman, as he carefully
Inspected his white, torpedo-bodied
"Blitzen Bens" at the showrooms of the
H. L. Keats Automobile Company yes
terday afternoon. "I will beat that by
two seconds," added Bob. ,

hllator bears this Inscription across the
back:
"Bob Hnrm;tTi 1 m(fe or: oc -
World s record."
In connection with the recent 500
mile race at Indianapolis, Burman had
two things of especial interest to
relate. The first dealt with the ex
traordinary accident which put him out
of the race.
Burman was passing the English
Sunbeam, and was just a trifle to the
rear when the Sunbeam's rear tire flew
off and the lug- struck his gas tank,
boring a hole in it. Burman heard a
sharp, hissing sound, and thinking It
was his own tires, pulled up. Finding
nothing wrong, as he thought, he re
sumed, but failure to get the right mix.

uuiua nwiuuui,
and an examination at the pits showed
.we uuiq niaue oy tne . xug.
The other interesting item he had
was his account of the way Goux, the
driver of the winning Peugeot, side
stepped his offer to race against each
other for anvthlnir f rnm tqnnn ,,
"Keeton offered the wager, knowing
i.iia. we naa done the fastest time and
that it was nothing more or less than
a freak accident which had stopped the
car. We went to see Goux and his
manager on the Sunday afternoon, and
the Frenchman raIh ia rr. i
- -.w u ' i ' . r 1 1 TJli
he saw the real money, but It must be
euuwii mm Dy ill a. 31. Monday. Well,
the banks don't open till then, so we
thought he was backing out, and
trailed him to New Tork.
"I had a- check with me for $10,000
when we met in his rooms, but said
nothing about it. At first Goux said
he'd meet us with pleasure, but in
sisted that the money be on the table.
With that I just showed him my check
and he went away up in the air and
sailed the next day. Now he says that
it would cost him too much money to
bring him over again, in spite of the
fact that we have offered to bet $100,
000 if necessary. That shows Keeton's
belief in the car." .
Burman probably will not try the
Ll o--xv uuni tomorrow morning, so as
not to spoil the surface which is in
fine condition.

OIT HULL WILL BE USED AT
ASTORIA REGATTA.
Johnny Wolff Not Taking Chances
With Xew Craft Which Has) Ifot
Realized His Expectations.
The Oregon Wolf, champion speed
boat of the West, will defend its title
et the Astoria regatta of July 3, 4
and 5, competing in the 80-mlle free-for-all.
Johnny Wolff, designer and pi
lot of the motorboat king, has decided
temporarily to abandon his new craft
the Oregon Wolf II., and will Install his
engines In the rejuvenated Oregon
Wolf hull early next week, send the
craft through one tryout and then leave
for Astoria.
Not only has Wolff decided to trust
the title to the old reliable, but Dixon
Bros, have abandoned the new Swas
tika hull In favor of the old one. The
new Swastiska came to grief in the
first tryout and refused to perform
to expectations thereafter.
However, the Vamoose, owned by
Captain Milton Smith of Rainier, will
be a new boat in the Astoria race ac
cording to reports from Rainier. A new
hull. a 20-footer, Is practically com
plete, and a switch in the engines will
be made from one hull to the other
for the July meet. Captain W. E.
Spencer's new 16-foot hydroplane, the
Baby Bell, promises to be a factor In
the races, for it has traveled at the
rate of 35 miles an hour.
"I have the speed in the Oregon
Wolf II. If I can happen to tumble onto
it." says Johnny Wolff, "but it has
not been produced yet and I will not
take any chances. The old Oregon
Wolf is 100 ner cent hit.. i u
water, and I am going down to Astoria
eruemnj ou-mue race In rough
water. When I get back from Astoria
I will try out the new hi t nr .
Wolff says that he will have money
lv on tne c nances of his boat
at Astoria, and Is looking for a side
bet from other optimistic owners. The
Oregon Wolf aver acred saii
hour over the Astoria course, but went
42.6 miles an hour in the Willamette last
Winter, and at a 43.5 clip for the first
five miles. Johnny Is confident that the
uoai. coum nave made 45 miles at the
time, but there was no need for the
utilllzlng of the full power of the en
gines. A new deck has been built on
the Oregon Wolf and a few other re
pairs made; the engine is In perfect
trim, and Wolff expects to average
better than 43 miles at Astoria.

before them in the principal tourna
ments on this Coast since last Summer,
reached the semi-final round in the
men's singles of the Pacific Coast ten

tomorrow In this order.
The Davis-Fottrell match was hard
fought from start to finish. Fottrell
had an early lead In the first set but
soon lost command and Davis took the
set. Fottrell extended himself to the
limit In the second and won with con
siderable to spare. The third was
close, and to Davis' wlldness on sev
eral easy kills at the net in the last
few games Fottrell owes his victory.
The score was 6-8, 6-2, 8-6. Fottrell
was runner-up last year in the Oregon
