Gorrill, former Oregon champion; Wallace McBurney, former holder of nearly all Northwest titles in tennis; Joe Tyler, winner of the singles in 1011 and British Colum bia champion; Sam Russell, holder of the singles title twice and the Wash ington state title; Miss Sarah Living ston, Oregon women's champion, and Miss Stella Fording, former Oregon champion. The absence of Brandt lckersham, Oregon men's champion, is deplored here. He was counted on to be in the running for the finals. Tacoma has a girl entrant, Irma Frazer, aged 18, who is said to be a phenom, and friends are predicting a brilliant tennis future for her. She plays a strong, smashing style, much similar to the former champion, May Sutton YOUNGSTER MAY BE CHAMPION It. A. lloldcn, Jr., Most Promising of Coining Tennis Players. As the oli order in lawn tennis the Riants, who came inti prominence a. iecaie or more ao passes, slowly but surely, interest in the younger players who will take their places increases. It takes years to develop a champion, and it may be that some of the men just past their first youth may achieve titular honors, or at least occupy the positions so long held by such men as learned, Wripht, Clothier, Little, Alex ander, Behr and Hackett. But that is problematical, and for the present at least it is the youngsters those who have either been in the pa me long- enough to reach a certain eminence or those younger still who are regarded as comers who are re ceiving the lion's share of attention. One prominent man, whose name is withheld for obvious reasons,' says he thinks R. A. Holden, Jr., is the young ster most likely to go farthest in the road to championship honors, provided he can acquire greater speed. He con tinues: Of those mentioned, I think that, given an equal opportunity for development, R. A. Holden, J r., is the most promising and will go the furthest because both temper amentally and In mechanical execution his ftame seems the best grounded. He can piny practically every stroke, has no ap parent weaknesses, is cool and steady at critical times, uses good generalship and never becomes discouraged or quits. The one criticism of his game, which to me has no foundation. Is that he lacks the necessary sped, but that can be developed; in fact, he nan shown considerable Im provement In that respect, and he has said that he believes in getting style of stroke and accuracy first and then going In for peed a belief In which I heartily concur. Dean Matheys game deserves approval as containing many qualities above re ferred to In regard to Holden. A H of his strokes are made in proper form, his nerve is good and he displays sound judgment. His net game, however, appears to have been somewhat neglected for the develop ment of his ground strokes, and his physique does not seem well able to stand the strain of long, hard matches. George Ohurch. on the other hand, ap pears to suffer from over-attention to his net game. Very aggressive and fast, he has persistently rushed to the net to the detri ment of the proper development of his ground strokes, and while that policy has rewarded him with considerable success. In the long run he will be much handicapped unless he is able to materially Improve off the ground. This will be hard for him to Ao, as his strokes are now pretty well settled, and, once started In a wrong way, a change is very difficult to make. W. M. Washburn's game possesses many admirable characteristics, beautiful ground strokes from the back of the court being a particularly striking feature of his game. All his racket work is well finished and executed, and promises excellent develop ment. He apparently does not know wnat nervousness is; in fact, his calmness Is, such as to almost be a fault at times, as lie seems to lack the necessary push and fight. j Hts net game can be somewhat Im proved upon with practi -e. but a weakness ! more vital is his inability to adapt his ! ground strokes to handle various opposing! attacks, short balls inside the service line. for instance, appearing very difficult for i him to play with any speed. ; VNITKD STATES LAUNDRY WINS. Pacific Beaten S to 2 in AVell-Played 11-lmiing Game. In one of the longest and best-played games in the Laundry league the United States representatives won from the Palace nine yesterday, 3 to 2, in an ll-inning battle. Lund of the winners struck out IS, while Davis of the Palace whiffed 15. A decision by ll-c umpire allowed the United States to tie the score in the ninth inning and caused a protest to be filed by the losers. x Hut one game remains to be played before the championship of the league will be decided. The Troy nine will meet the winner of yesterday's game next Sunday in the deciding battle. Answer to Query. Phil: If the umpire said the catcher did not touch the runner with the ball and that the runner was forced out, he was wron. If he called the run ner out on the assumption that the catcher had tasked him. his decision is final. The runner. could have stayed on third instead of trying to score after the catch and still there would have been no chance for the catcher t make a force-out ait the plate.

WOMEN IN PARTY CARRIED Keat Possible Only Once Each Year and Cannon Beach Visitors See Breakers Roll Over Route as Return Is Made. CANNON BEACH. Or., Aug. 3. (Spe eia.1. ) An automobile was piloted around the fringe of Arch Cape, at daybreak today during: the extreme low tide. The machine reached False Tillamook head in time to negotiate the return Journey before fast en croaching: waters barred retreat. Only twice before has the feat been accomplished in automobile, today's be ing the first and probably the lasL in 1913. On all three occasions machines owned and driven by Morris C. Martin of Seaside have gained the glory of the most southerly exploration along the North Oregon beaches. Three other automobile parties passed last night at Elk Creek in an ticipation of attempting the dash to day, but the ominous waves curling at the base of the Aroh Cape Cliffs sent thera scurrying back in trepidation. Women passengers of the Martin party were carried across the most dangerous shoals, only the big, power ful car being risked in the waters and shifting sands. The machine took to the water like a duck, a 60-mile gait sending it across without miring. Cape Falcon, or False Tillamook head, as it is known to mariners, be cause of its similarity to the Columbia River beacon, juts far out in the breakers several miles south of its flank protector, the cave-eaten Arch Cape. Further progress south of False Til lamook was out of the question, so, after reaching the base of the tower ing cliffs, and posing for photographs, the party turned about with many qualms, for the lurking ripples of the minus tide, which pays its annual visit about this time of the year, w.ere even then licking at the wheels. Fifteen minutes after the Chalmers was again anchored on safe ground big combers were roaring and barking over the cape rocks, tolling farewell to sim ilar expeditions for another' year. Had the party been unable to re trace its course around Arch Capes, abandonment of the big automobile to the barnacles would have been nec essary. No roads have penetrated the forests that far south, and, anyway, the precipitous cliffs cut off all chance of rescue from the land side. "It was a dangerous procedure." said C. H. Callender, of Astoria, one of those who turned back at Arch Cape. "I wish now we had risked our machine, although perhaps we might not have been as fortunate as the suc cessful ones." The members of the Martin party were: Mark "Warren, proprietor of the Warren hotel at Elk Creek; Frank Woodfield, of Astoria: Miss Mabel Baker, Miss Virginia Peterson, Miss tansy Mahan. Miss Leah Cohen. Rich ard R. Sleight. Roscoe Fawcett. of 1-ortland, and Morris C. Martin, of Sea side. Several machines have been lost along the beaches In "the past few years, but only once was Driver Mar tin forced to battle with the quick sands today. Then hts power saved him.

Baseball is not confined to the uni versities of Japan. There is no pro fessional league, but athletic organi zations in various parts of the Empire have formed nines and the public Is enthusiastic in support. The Stanford players were greatly Impressed with the skill of the Japan ese players and declared that baseball, although peculiarly an American game, is admirably adapted to the Japanese, who are quick in their movements and quick thinkers on the diamond. Player Hears Himself Laud ed by Stranger Chance Acquaintance Tells Williams How Well Williams Can Play, and Insists He Knows. A man is usually sure of his own per sonality, but occasions sometimes arise when a doubt may exist. Such an occa. sion befell Richard Norris Williams, second, last year, and he relates the story with no small amount of gusto In an Eastern publication. When Williams went to Pittsburgh to compete in the Clay Court Champion ship, he was, quite naturally, much in demand. On the Sunday preceding the challenge match with Walter Hayes the young Philadelphian was one of a party that motored to the beautiful Allegheny Country Club at Sewickley Heights. When he reached there he learned that an exhibition match had been arranged in which he was to be one of four play ers. As he was scheduled to play three matches the next day, he excused him self and another player was substitut ed. After the match h,e was chatted with by a chance acquaintance. "That young Williams is a fine play, er, isn't he?" Inquired the sociable gen tleman. Williams , assented, somewhat reti cently. "He played quite a match just now," went on the other. This was news to Williams, and he ventured to remark that another player had been substituted for the Philadelphian. "Oh. no; it was Williams that played," said the other very emphatically. "I have seen him play before, and I am sure that it was he." And nothing that Williams could bo.v availed to shake the chance acquain tance's belief. Fitzgerald Released I7ncondltlonally As announced yesterday. Judge Mc- Credie released Justin Fitzgerald, out fielder of the Colts, last night. The fielder is allowed to go unconditionally. Fitzgerald has nothing in mind just now, but will probably return to Cali fornia.

Dan O'Leary, the famous pedestrian who has been showing Portland people how to keep young, being 70 years of age himself, has some interesting rem iniscences of his fast walking days. Here is a little tale of his greatest race with Weston, the man who Is now finishing a long walk. It savored of politics. "It was In Agricultural Hall, In Lon don, in 1877. At that time Sir John Astley was prominent in Parliament. A little incident had occurred shortly be fore, in which the Irish Home Rule Party, which was just starting, blocked Sir John on soine appropriations he wanted for his constituents. There were 40 in the party, and he called them the 'Forty Thieves.' They had it in for' him, so when he proposed a walking race between Weston and me and backed Weston, the 'Forty Thieves' backed me. With them was Charles Parnell, who took a keen per sonal interest in my success. Weston Lends at Start. "The race was for six days, from Monday morning to Saturday night. On Monday I walked 115 miles, but Wes ton be.t me by two miles, for I was feeling a little indisposed. On Tuesday I was feeling better and getting warmed up to the work, and that night I was 2S miles ahead of Weston. We kept at it pretty steadily, and the gap shortened down to20 miles. The Par liament crowd got excited, and the last three days of the race no one went near Parliament. Of course, when I got ahead Sir John came In for an awful lot of chaffing. "Well, Saturday night at 8 o'clock I was 20 miles ahead, with only four hours to go. The track was hard and my heels were sore. Weston would skip along, striking on the ball of his feet, and he was much lighter than I was. I walked straight with a pretty strong pounding on my heels, and after going 520 miles I began to feel it. The 'Forty Thieves' took It pretty seri ously, and when 8 o'clock came Satur day night, and It seemed certain that Weston couldn't make it up, they came down and carried me off the track. I did not want to quit, but Sir John Ast ley himself said I had won the race and had better quit. "But by 10 o'clock Weston had short ened the gap to ten miles, and was go ing strong. I Insisted on going back. Mr. Parnell, who was in my tent Inside the track, said: 'If you are going back you have got to have the right kind of socks. You take mine." With that he pulled off his own fine lamb's wool socks and made me put them on. I hobbled out to the track, and was all right as soon as I warmed up. But Weston quit when he saw me return and gave up the race. Prince Attends Dinner. "Sam Hage was my manager, and after the race he gave me a check for $14,200, which was my share of the gate receipts. The 'Forty Thieves' gave me a banquet in the Westminster Palace Hotel, and the Prince of Wales attended. They also presented me with a solid silver tea service with the names of 87 members of Parliament en graved on the server." DAN O'LEARY LEADS WALKERS Farty Makes Round Trip to Oregon City in 6 1-2 Hours. Again Dan O'Leary walked himself into the limelight when he and his party yesterday negotiated the distance to Oregon City and return in less than six hours and a half. No record was tried for, as two members of the party developed blisters on their feet and were unable to walk fast. The party left The Oregonian build ing, at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, arrived at Oregon City at 7:30, laid over an hour before making the return walk, and hauled up at their starting point at 11:30. Those who made the trip were: Charles Smith, of Oregon City; James Reardon, of Portland: Gus Wintler, Forest Grove; George Davis, Vancouver, Wash., and Dan O'Leary. The outgoing trip was made by way of the East Side with the return on the West Side. PUBLIC CHALLEN GE AXXOtTVCED Dan O'Leary, Riled by Aspersion, Seeks 1000-Mile Match. Someone told Dan O'Leary that he was a thing of the past. Here is what Dan has to say. "I hereby challenge any man of any age, weight or color, to walk 1000 straightaway miles in any city on the Pacific Coast, Portland preferred. (Signed) "DAN O'LEARY."

SPORTSMEN PROVIDE AID Heavy Bounty on Cougar, Coyotes and Other Beasts of Prey Urged. Immense Grazing Ground for Deer and Elk " Wanted.. BY W. B. SHERMAN. (Corresponding Secretary Game and Fish Protective Association o Josephine County.) GRANTS PASS, Or., Aug. 9. (Spe cial.) This article deals with the pro posed creation of a National, park, game refuge and playground, covering about 200,000 acres of land In Josephine Counts'. Oregon, and Del Norte and Sis kiyou Counties, California, embracing the Marble Caves of Oregon and Preston- Peak, California. This will not only be an interstate but a National movement, and we believe that It should especially have the attention and sup port of the people of the Pacific Coast. The Game and Fish Protective Asso ciation of Josephine County, which was organized in 1912 with the object of making this the best combination of fishing and hunting grounds in the world, has now taken up that work. We feel that this section has the nat ural facilities for furthering the project. We have succeeded in getting Will iam L. Finley, State Game Warden of Oregon, to furnish us with a carload of fry of speckled and rainbow trout, which will be planted In the heads of the mountain streams throughout Jo sephine County. We are also nego tiating with him for elk, -.hina pheas ants and bob white quail to be liberated in our district Hunters Pay to Protect Elk. The County Court of Josephine County has signified its willingness to enter into this enterprise to the extent of an investment of several hundred dollars toward liberating elk in the district. More than 100 local sportsmen of the county have already subscribed $5 each toward a fund to protect the elk after they are liberated, and the people in general of the district are much in earnest in their efforts to bring about the purposes for which this organization was created. We believe that each cougar destroys from 50 to 100 deer annually, and as a rule these are does and small deer. Therefore we are starting a movement towards Increasing the bounty mate rially on cougars, bob cats and coyotes, so as to exterminate the varmints which prey on our game. An effort is also to be made to have bear protected, for they do no Injury to stock or to the set tler and are wantonly killed during the season that the meat or fur is of no good. ' We have taken the matter up of cre ating a National park, game refuge and playground in- the mountain dis trict In the southern part of the county, taking in the Oregon Caves and reach ing from there along the mountain range into California, an area of about SO miles long and from 12 to 20 miles in width, this park, however, not to interfere with the operations of the miners nor stockgrowers. Big Range Available. H. S. -Graves, chief forester of the Forest Service, Department of Agricul ture, came here July 25 for the purpose of going over the proposition with us. While here he gave us the greatest en couragement and advised us relative to our procedure. Mr. Graves also recog nized the fact that since we have about 16.000,000 acres of land in the mountain districts through Southwestern Oregon and Northwestern California, which are too rough ever to be cultivated, that this would be an ideal locality for a home for elk and deer. He pointed out that the elk of the United States have practically been exterminated' except In the Jackson Kola country in Wyoming, Odd Lines $6.50 to $25 Corsets, Special Today, $2.85 Mme.

Third Fir. and at the present rate at which the herds there are diminishing they, like the buffalo, will soon be extinct, unless they can be liberated In a suitable ter ritory where the life of the herds can be perpetuated. We believe that this 16,000,000 acres will furnish ample grazing ground for 50,000 elk, from which number many hundreds with horns could be taken each year. We 41so believe that if the varmints were all exterminated from Southwestern Oregon and Northwestern California there could be several thou sand deer taken from the forests an nually. We do not believe that there Is a homesteader living five miles or more from a wagon road who would not be allowed to kill a certain number of bucks each year, thereby making them the natural protectors of the game. The Government is handling reindeer in Alaska along the same lines, and it is proving successful. The same is true of deer in the Bols Blanc Island in the Straits of Mackinac. Mr. Graves rec ognized the fact that If we were to make a refuge of a few thousand acres of land for the elk and other animals in the locality of the Oregon Caves, that such animals could range from this refuge In all directions through the mountain district of Southwestern Ore gon and Northwestern California, and If protected by proper legislation they would multiply rapidly. - . Pictures Art Wanted. In carrying out Mr. Graves" sugges tions, we feel that it is necessary to have a moving picture machine come to Grants Pass when the carload of fish is planted in the streams throughout the district and take pictures of the same, and also pictures showing the highly cultivated district and the surrounding mountain country on every side. The Interior of the Marble Caves should be thoroughly exploited with the moving picture machines, as no really good pictures of this wonderful work of Nature have ever been taken. The Summer and Winter range for the elk and the Bolen Lake, a miniature Crater Lake, which is a few miles south of the caves, if exploited would become a place of much interest. After going over the Summer range and game refuge with the moving pic ture machine, our idea would be to make a trip through the Winter range, which would be 'on the west of the coast range of mountains in Josephine and Curry Counties, Oregon, and Del Norte County, California. This would cause a trip through the redwood, which as yet has not been exploited 'by moving picture machines, and which should be attractive. The Itinerary would then Include Crescent City, showing the har bor project and the easy accessibility from that direction to this National park and game refuge and also to the hunting grounds throughout the dis trict. Hunting Scenes Available. It would be our plan then to go to the mouth of Rogue River and there take pictures of the fish industry and from there up Rogue River and stop at Bear Camp, and have previous arrange ments made ,for some excellent hunting and camping scenes, showing both the deer and bear having been bagged and In camp. Tljis feature would also be shown all along the route, as the first of thB month there would be hunting camps- everywhere and no doubt an abundance of game, and many valuable pictures along this line could be se cured. This trip would take us through the best hunting and fishing grounds, both the Winter and Summer grazing for the elk and the best scenery in Southwest ern Oregon and Northwestern Califor nia. Moving pictures taken could be used throughout the country. It Is desired that at least 5000 feet of film be used in one continuous feature, which would be taken over the country by a lecturer and shown at places where it would do the most good. When the question of this National park, game refuge and playground is taken up at Washington the moving pictures and slides will be taken there and shown to the Representatives in Con gress. In this section is the Crater Lake Na tional Park and in making the Marble Caves a National park and game refuge both could be seen on one trip. The sentiment of the people upon the sub ject of "Seeing Americp. First" will be stimulated by this movement and an impetus added for Eastern people to make their vacation journeys to the Pacific Coast. The close proximity of two National parks surely would be an attraction. Motorcycles Make Trip to Hood. The first tandem motorcycle tour to Mount Hood was accomplished last Sunday when Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Rus sell, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Ford, Mrs. Jessie Steel and M. E. Kuhns made the trip without mishap despite the rough riding. OREGON BOAT WINS Regatta Honors for Year Re main in Portland. WOLFF CRAFTS SURPRISE Title-Holder Lowers Colors to New Speed Marvel Tan Blerck and Baby Bell Walt In North for Future Races. ' With the Astoria and Puget Sound regattas on the shelf, the active sea son for Pacific Coast speed boats is well passed. A review of the season shows Oregon boats in general and Portland boats in particular are champions. The year has furnished one surprise in the defeat of the Wolff creations. Through year after year John E. Wolff won over all competitors. Then came the Oregon Kid, owned by Cap tain Milton .Smith. The Kid. lowered Wolff's colors in the free-for-all at Astoria, beating the old reliable Ore gon Wolf three heats of 30 miles each. The 16-foot championship, run this year for the first time, was taken without any trouble by" Captain E. W. Spencer's Baby Bell. The 20-fobt class cup changed hands when the Oregon Kid defeated the Swastika, the former holder. At Seattle the Oregon Kid and the Baby Bell captured further honors for the Portland Motor Boat Club. Minor regattas, which may be staged in the next month, will have no bearing on the title holders. The speed, this season was somewhat disappointing. Oregon Wolf II and the Van Blerck were the disappointments of the season. The Van Blerck and the Baby Bell are still In the North awaiting future races. Amateur Athletics. The Lents Giants downed the Colum bia Park nine yesterday on the Lents diamond, 5 to 3. Boland. for the win ners, struck out 11 and allowed but eight scattered hits.
