NORTHWEST MEET IS IN DOriiT No Definite Action Yet Taken for Holding Championships. . Nothing definite has been done re garding the annual Pacific Northwest Association of the Amateur Athletic Union track and field championships since the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club failed to stage the events. T. Morris Dunne, secretary-treasurer of the Pacific Northwest Association turned the matter over to- Colonel Inglis, of the Seattle Athletic Club. Efforts were made to have the chant pionships played in the huge stadium at Tacoma. Wash., during the annual Montemara celebration July 3, 4 and 5 but as yet T. Morris Dunne has not received word to that effect. The local club handled the events last year, but not enough time was given this season to make the necessary arrangements.

OF THE PORTLAND INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE TODAY. t' A f . v h Vy i ' VZl J I v - v? A ' ytJJ JEFFS ENTRY Brown Beats Steffen, Lincoln, for Boys' Championship. GIRLS' TITLE IS UP TODAY Miss Johnson, of Washington, and Miss McKenzle, of Franklin, Are Schednled for Finals in In terseholastic Tourney. Mortimer Brown, of Jefferson High School, had too much tournament ex perience for Paul Steffen, of Lincoln Higrh and, as a result, the Bast Sider won the 1916 boys' tennis singles cham pionship of the Portland Interscholastic League on the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club courts yesterday after noon. The final match for the girls' ingles title of the Interscholastic League tennis tourney will be played this afternon between . Miss Harriette ohnsont of Washington High, and Miss McKenzie, of Franklin High. Brown made many double faults, but superior placing won from Steffen, who lacked aggressiveness. The Lincolnite erved well, but he could not win the decisive point in the various games. His weak point was on overhead balls. Brown continually sending the balls high and gradually getting the better of Steffen. 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. A. B. Mc- Alpin, chairman of the tennis commit tee of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, who has charge of the Portland Interscholastic tennis tournament, pre dicts that Steffen has the makings of a great player and his future is excep tionally bright as a racquet weilder. Miss Harriete Johnson, of Washing ton High, won her right to the finals in the girls' singles by trimming Miss K. Richardson, of Lincoln High, in two straight sets, 6-2, 6-0. Miss Johnson held- the upper hand at all times and played a steady game throughout. She will have strong opposition in Miss Mc Kenzie, of Franklin High, at 3 o'clock thjs afternoon on the Winged "M" courts. The result of the boys' singles yes terday makes the score for matches a tie. Washington High won the boys' doubles through the playing of Howard Werschkul and Wilbur Hood last Sat urday. Misses Dorothy Stlne and Na.ncy Holt won the "girls' doubles for Lin coln High, and Mortimer Brown - took the boys' singles to Jefferson High. If Miss Johnson can win today Washing ton High will win the meet, otherwise Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Franklin will be tied with one cham pionship each.

Today's Games. Vernon at Portland. Salt Lake at Oakland. San Francisco at Los Angeles. BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. This afternoon at 3 o'clock Portland fans will get another peep at the Ver non Tigers same Tigers which have been leading the. Coast League proces sion for some few fortnights. A couple of weeks ago these same Bengal kit- ens won something like five games out or six from the Beavers down south. and for this reason there will be no love lost between the teams this series. Eight games will be played before the Vernons return home granting that the rain clouds hold back. The two extra games are those postponed by rain during the Tigers' last visit here. Allen Sothoron will twirl for Port land. Tiger Defense la Landed. What do I think of Vernon?" said Walter McCredie yesterday, as ho sat in the back of Judge McCredie's big car and watched the scenery along the Columbia Highway swirl by in dazzling panorama. The judge, by the way, was host to party consisting of his strapping nephew and the local baseball writers. "What do I think of 'em?" . "Well, Manager Patterson has one of the finest defensive teams I have ever een. His pitching is very good and the way that infield performs is a cau tlon. Risberg at second base is a big leaguer if there ever was one. Bates is going very strong and has been a valuable factor to date." 'Don't you wish you had Bates back on your ball club?" was asked. There came a slight pause. Results Expected from Stumpf. "We all boot 'em occasionally " re marked the big manager, flecking the ashes from his fantail cigar. "Bates is a good ball player, but not quite my type. If Bill Stumpf were hitting up to snuff. Bates wouldn't be missed at all. Stumpf should get going after a while and then watch us. Rodgers is not hitting Just now because of his sprained hand and that also cripples us to some extent. "My mistake was not in selling Bates to Vernon but in not accepting Art Korea when St. Louis offered to return him to Portland. Kores is with Nash ville in the Southern Association now and is hitting the ball just as he did when he was here in 1914. "However, my ball club appears to be in good shape for the real campaign and I am not worrying. With good catching and airtight work by Stumpf don t believe we would have lost more than one game to Vernon on our recent visit to Los Angeles. Lowdermilk'a Record Viewed, 'If Lowdermilk comes to us, as seems certain, he should bolster the pitching staff. Detroit paid St. Louis something like $12,000 for this big twirler last year, I understand. He is wild, but so was Bill James when he came West. I have a hunch he will be a winner in the Coast League because of his tre mendous speed. 'Lowdermilk won 18 and lost 16 at Louisville in 1914, and won 2Q and lost 14 in 1913. This shows that he has enough stuff to win a majority of his games in the AA leagues. And surely he must have improved since then. IllKK Sold to Blake Room. 'One prime reason why I sold Irve Higginbotham to Oakland was to make room for Lowdermilk. Higg is getting well along in years and I like the younger blood." Manager McCredie thinks tne tjoasi League race from now on will center about four clubs Vernon, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland. "There really isn t a weak outfit in the league," explained Mack. Oak' land, with good pitching would pre. sent a good front. Salt Lake has 1 good club on paper, but some of last year's stars are not coming through as well as they did m lsia. -mis is tne main reason the Bees are not up in the first division." The Sportlight By Grantland Klce. They say the world will reach Its finish In something like ten tnousana years; All sin In ages will diminish. Also all sorrow, pain and tears; I know, with disposition sunny, A bush league bard with bush league pea. Just when I II coin a bale of money But when will r . Welsh Iignt again 7 I know Just when the tariff question Will be considered down and out; And when the subway's raw congestion Will be relieved without a doubt; I know when graft will pass forever. When Bryan will not charge a yen For oratorical endeavor- But will F. Welsh fight, again? mm IN 1914 when Stallings won the pen nant his club was away to one of the worst starts on record. The Braves that year won only thro out of the first 18 games and were still a bad laet in July. In 1915 Stallings expected to get away to a flying start, when Evers' injury and Bill James' defection again threw him by the wayside, so far back that his late season rally fell short. This Spring when we saw Stallings down South he was full of confidence that his Braves at last would get the desired and long delayed flying start. The Miracle Citizen believed that he had met every emergency and that he had the stuff to travel with. We happen to know that the Giants, Phillies and Dodgers all figure the Braves as the one club to beat. " Yet here June is flying along and the Braves are still struggling back in the old rut, unable, for some reason, to hit the clip which they expected to show Stallings is getting good pitching.' but his club Isn't batting.- It is now regis tered only a notch above .230, which isn't husky enough to get very far. Yet the material Is there and it is merely a question once again as to when the Braves will open their flag campaign. . This has been a fairly tough season for the two present kings of the mound. Both Johnson and Alexander have been unable to keep pace with two young sters who are now setting a merry clip, Johnson has been forced to follow be t hind Guy Morton, of Cleveland. HrHUe Alexander has dropped in back of Al I Mamaux. of Pittsburg. I Both Morton anu Mamaux pitcnea 1 well enough last season to prove they -are well beyond the fluke stage. It their ball clubs hold up they have now better than an oven chance to beat the two big stars to the final wire, There was a day in baseball when ! few clubs could win on the road and when it was considered something akin . to a. disgrace to lose many games at 1 home. Apparently that eDOch ir last. The Western clubs in the National League have all been doing better in the East than they eld at home. And the Giants have found it far easier to achieve glory on the road. At preaent Mc Graw'a club has a road percentage around .770. You might figure that a ball club good enough to win 20 out of 26 games on the road would have strength enough to be a dozen lengths to the good. But while playing at a 770 pace abroad, the Giant home rec ord is still below .200. We hope that you don't ask for an answer to this queer, quaint shift, for we don't happen to have it In stock. Tou ask me wanly why It Is The Braves' and White Sox slip away. Why they no longer rise and whlxs Amid the forefront of the fray; I'll let It fly, waist high, old pot. In no sense padded out or stuffed. And If I mlas it will not bo The first soft chance that I have muffed. They have the class and all of that; They have the head and arm and eye; They know best how to wield a bat And how to trap the buzzing fly; They have the stuff to romp along. In endlesa ways they have the call. But other pop-eyed clubs, outclassed. Are merely playing better ball. It has been a good many yeans since thn Giants and Cubs were pennant rivals where each was gnawing at the other's throat. Not since 1911, any way. " Yet such is tradition. From 1905 to 1911 these two clubs were generally neck and neck in the days when Christy Mathewson was accustomed to give battle to Miner Brown. That tra dition haa still held and when the Cubs and Giants meet much of the old pep is still at hand. Early this Spring Tinker looked to have one of the worst clubs in the league. But the once star shortstop has worked long and hard and at last he has a machine that no rival is taking lightly. The fact that Heinle Zimmerman is having one of his best years with the big mace has helped more than a trifle, while Schulte, who fell away last Summer, is back again at a higher plane than he has known for several campaigns. The' Cubs are also getting better pitching than they were able to get for the first month, and the combination has made them Into a flrt-class machine. We have no idea how Hal Chase and Charley Herzog will get along later, but Just at present Hal U entirely too busy annoying opposing pitchers to fool with any one else. CHET FEE IS AT HOME PEXDLETOX ATHLETE PLANS TO ENTER COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. University of Oregoa Graduate la Noted for Endeavora In Field and Track Eventa. PENDLETON. Or., .June 12. (Spe cial.) Chester A. Fee, the Pendleton boy who is heralded as the third greatest all-around athlete in the United States by virtue of his excep tionally strong showing at the annual National track and field championships at San Francisco. CaL. last Fall, re turned to his home here this morning witn n La diploma from the University of Oregon. Chet was captain of the 1916 sauad and during his attempts this Spring he registered points by himself In four meets for Coach Bill Hayward and his Eugene representatives. No athletic equipment of any laind was brought to Pendleton by Fee, but he hopes to keep In condition by chasing sheep and cat tle on his father's 1500 acres and then in September represent the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club at the National all-around championship at Newark.
