. 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.

"WIMBLEDON. England. July 4. A. T.
Wilding won the all-England lawn
tennis Championship today, defeating
Maurice E. McLoughlin In straight sets,
8-6, 8-3., 10-8.
Never has more interest been taken
in a match than in that between Mau
rice E. McLoughlin, of San Francisco,
the National champion of the United
States, and A. F. Wilding, of New Zea
land, the title holder since 1910. Thia
championship Is generally recognised
as the grass court championship of the
world.
The doubles championship was won
by H. Roper Barrett and C. P. Dixon,
of Great Britain, the title holders, who
beat Frederich. Wilhelm Rape and Hetn
rlch Kleinschroth, of Germany, the
challengers, by three sets to one, 6-2,
6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
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.
