TACOMA. Aug-. 7. Piny in the Pa cific Northwestern tennis tournament has reached the semi-finals in some of the classes. In the men's singles there is still a field that will demand an other preliminary round. Although several old favorites of the local tour nament are still in the race and are to be reckoned upon, H. C. Evans, of Van couver, B. C, is regarded as a favorite in the competition lor the Thorne trophy. The easy manner in which he dis posed of Robert Breeze, the Tacoma veteran. In their match this afternoon save him additional prestige. Joe Tyler, of Spokane, a former holder of the Thorne cup. was not put to the test today, disposing of his op ponents easily.

J COAST ATHLETES ROILED MULVEY'S APPOINTMENT' SULLIVAN IS CAUSE. Pacific Association of American Ath letic Union Threatens to Keep Members Out of 1915 Gaines. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7. The ap pointment by James K. Sullivan, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Ath letic Union and director-general ol amateur athletics at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, of "Tom" Mulvey to be assistant director-general, has been followed by such resentment here that the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Union, in an open letter signed by President John Klliott, refuses to allow Ralph Rose, George Horine or any other of Its members to compete in 1915 if the appointment stands. At a meet ing the association's officers today se cession of the Pacific Coast from the parent body was urged. "I have no- doubt," writes President Elliott, "that Mr. Mulvey is a most es timable gentlemen, but he has no knowledge nor affiliations with ama teur sport whatsover. The only claim. it is - reported, to recognition that ne has is hi3 connection with professional puerilism. "Under the existing conditions the Pacific Association of the Amateur Ath letic Union of the United States will have to withdraw its activities toward making the games of 1915 the success that they should be. Final action will be taken by the Pacific Association at a special meeting to be held next Tues day night." At the offices of the exposition it was si.Id that Aiuivey s appointment had ben made by Mr. Sullivan person ally, without the knowledge of the di rectors, who knew nothing about it. M: Sullivan was abroad. It was un derstood, and immediate efforts to get into touch with mm at liernn Dy came would be made. Mulvey is well known here as a fight promoter. He Is a friend or cnarne Harvey, secretary of the New York State Boxing Commission, who Is a friend of Sullivan. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Boston 9, St. Louis 8. BOSTON, Aug. 7.

Not until the home stretch was reached was there an In dication of which might win, Leata J. pressing under the wire only half a length ahead. Stetbrlno Lad, the fa vorite, never was better than second. The second fastest time of the year was made in the third heat, when Leata J. stepped a mile in 2:03. This heat was one of the best of the meet, the entire field being bunched until well into the home stretch. The 2:22 trot was a walkaway for Eleanor G. In all three heats she raced ahead of the field and won as bhe pleased, eased up. Breaks in the second heat put Grace Flagler and Major Russell behind the flag and in the remaining heat Eleanor G. and Dublin Lady were alone. One of the finest contests of the year developed in the 2:05 pace. Flower Di rect and Junior Dan Patch raced neck and neck in the first heat, th'e latter winning. In the second heat these two were noses apart all down the stretch, the mare getting the decision by the closest of margins.

If Social Organization Is Forced to Paj-, W. F. Woodward Declares Churches Must Contribute. "There Is no doubt that the Irvington Club will take the Initiative in testing In the courts the legality of Mr. Reed's ruling assessing the clubs." said "Wil liam F. Woodward,- president of the Irvington Club, last night. "We have a lot of bright lawyers be longing to our organization and should be able to put up a pretty good scrap," he continued. "Furthermore, If Mr. Reed's ruling Is to prevail, then churches will have to stand for assessments on unoccupied real estate and educational institutions where fees are charged which leave a margin of profit, or where there is no free tuition, will have to come in, too. I assure you that this thing is not going to be one-sided. . "I told Mr. Reed that the Irvington Club is an educational institution in the truest sense of the term. It Is not a profit-making organization. We have 600 members and our income is suf ficient with Just a little over to take care of running expenses. It is not enough to take up our street assess ments for which we are bonded. to the extent of $i3,000 pay taxes and main tain the playground to which all chil dren of the city are admitted free. "We are paying a woman $50 to $75 a month, depending on the season, to superintend our playground. All this is done -at the expense of our members. We do not receive a cent from the state, city or county. It is my idea that any child who uses this playground is bene fited morally as much as he would be by going to church, yet churches are exempt. It has been suggested that the playground might be-eliminated if we paid taxes on the rest, yet it is the club proper which supports the playground. "The Irvington Club is the pioneer of the social center clubs of this city. It is the demonstration of an idea which should be encouraged, not dis couraged. To destroy it would be a great mistake. Taxation would stop the formation of more such organizations, a. thing to be deplored." Mr. Woodward said that the trustees of the club had authorized him to take b Co. up with the City Commissioners the question of the city taking over and operating - the club's playground. Irvington and Holladay additions, have not been given a park or playground, but they have been established in all other parts of the city, he said. If the Irvington Club is to be taxed he be lieves the city should maintain the playground. Mr. Woodward estimated the value of the Irvington Club's holdings at J75.000, which, on a basis of 60 per cent, would make it assessable for $50,000.' Reports From Vessels. (By Marconi Wireless.)
