BOY TENNIS STABS
PRAISED BY GOSS
Portland Expert Analyses
Main Features of Junior
Tournament.
J SPEED, HEADWORK NOTED
Ilajlng of Paul Stiffen and Deo
Mallett Full of "Pep" Shining
Light in Doubles Event
Is Phil Xeer.
BT WALTER A. GOSS.
In all of my 20 years of tennis in
Oregon I had the greatest fun of all
in seeing- the finals of the Junior Tour
nament played on the Irvington Club
courts Saturday afternoon.
There was plenty of speed, plenty of
bead work and, best of all, plenty of
good, clean sportsmanship. The serv
ing was marvelous. How have these
boys learned to serve so well? Just
think! Not a single foot fault in five
sets of singles and only two foot faults
in five long sets of doubles.
Each one of these boys delivers a
perfectly fair service and there is lots
of sting and "pep" in it, too.
Then I had the fun of seeing Paul
Steffen grit his teeth and pull his
match out by the hardest kind of bull
dog fighting.
We was behind two sets to one when
he started some real fireworks. In
stead of laying back and falling into
more or less defensive play ne car
ried the fight right home to his plucky
opponent and when he was hardest
pressed he fought harder than ever.
Driving Almost Perfect.
The driving was beautiful. Deo Mal
lett pinned his faith to a good, strong
service and a hard passing shot which
he bit well from his forehand. He did
nt get the full benefit of hi3 service
because he failed to place it.
His backhand was weak, but his fore
hand drive was unbeatable. His one
great error was to volley when he was
back of the service line. These shots
he might as well have taken off the
ground and he would have won many
points which he needlessly threw away,.
His game weakened toward- the end.
but it was beautiful tennis and the
hitting was so clean and full of fire
that one fancied he was watching some
of our famous Californian neighbors.
Paul Steffen's game was a marvel
to me. I have never seen better -volleying,
and he was particularly good
with his backhand.
He sometimes failed to take the net
quite as often as opportunity offered,
but when once there ho stuck tight ex
cept when Mallett got a good chance
with his deadly forehand drive.
'. Bor Are Steady.
With such wonderful serving I
looked to see a good many aces, but
there was but one scored in the en
tire match, which shows that the boys
were pretty steady in returning the
balls.
A detailed account of the score re
sults as follows:
Klrst set Places. Nets. Outs. oub. Gms.
Paul titer fenA 7 4 4 0 6

Fifth set
Paul Steffen 6 10 14 3 8
Ijco Mallett 10 17 l'J - 8
The double event which followed was
no less exciting but not so well played.
Paul Steften's game lacked the finish
which was shown in the singles and
the bright and shining light in the
whole quartet was little Phil Neer.
Xeer'N Lobbing; Clever.
Tie scored three aces on his service
and time after time he passed his man
with his beautiful backhand.
He used rare judgment in his lob
bing and the final point was won only
after he had lobbed the ball back at
least a dozen times. The only reason
he missed the last one was because of
the ball bouncing into the back net.
The team work was rather poor and
each side erred in trying to cross the
court and help one another out in run
ning around the lobs. It would have
been better for each one to handle his
own side of the court, for the boys are
all fast enough and hit well overhead.
The last and deciding set seemed
to be all iced away for Neer and Sjtef
fin. for they led at 6-2.
Then came a mighty rush from both
.Stevens and Brown. They hit every
thing offered, and hit hard.
Teaina Are Nearly Equal.
It was a pretty match all the way
through and there was almost noth
ing to choose between the teams.
The final scores resulted aa follows:
8-6, 6-3, 8-10, 4-6. 8-6.
There were many double faults made
throughout the match which showed
the fire the boys were attempting to
put into their service. Harry Stevens
made seven; Mortimer Brown, seven;
Paul Steffen, four, and Phil Neer.
three.
On the whole, Phil Neer played the
most consistent game of the crowd,
but it was hard to pick a favorite.
To say that it was a pleasure to
watch such good, consistent work and
such beautiful strokes is putting it
mildly.
I am under the impression that when
Paul Steffen meets Marshall Allen, of
Seattle, it will be a match well worth
going a long ways to see.

37 OF 1. W. W. RELEASED
SEATTLE POLICE FIXD NO IXCRIM
l.VAXING EVIDENCE.
Dozen of Men Arrested Saturday Fol
lowing: Riot Are Held For War'
Census Investigation.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 17. Thirty
seven Industrial Workers of the World,
arrested in their hall last night follow
ing a riot in which a soldier was shot
in the leg, were released by Seattle po
lice tonight, and 12 were ordered held
for Federal investigation as to their
registration for conscription.
Chief of Police Beckingham, who or
dered the release of the men, said no
evidence had been found indicating the
identity of the man who fired an auto
matic pistil from the hall's fire escape.
Police searched the Industrial Workers
hall thoroughly this afternoon but
found nothing of an incriminating na
ture. An automatic pistol was found
in the hall after the riot.
A patrol of 21 men was brought from
the Puget Sound iSavy-yard at Bremer
ton this afternoon to patrol the streets
and prevent congestion near tr-s nail.
Private W. E. Miller, the Coast Artil
lery man shot, was not seriously hurt.
The three soldiers and two sailors ar
rested were released after the riot.
The disturbance began when a crowd
of soldiers and sailors attempted to
enter the hall. The only shooting was
done by the man on the fire escape.
Vegetables for Hens Suggested.
PETALL1IA. Cal.. May 81. The feed
ing of vegetables to chickens as a so
lution of the high cost of chicken feed,
is suggested by a poultry fancier of
this city. Chicken feed has now be
come so costly that many poultrymen
are dressing their hens for the market
instead of keeping them for egg rats
ing purposes. The vegetables can be
raised by the poultrymen themselves.
The diet of vegetables a-nd green stuffs
In addition to grains will keep the hens
healthy, says the poultrymnn.
FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS
STREETS YESTERDAY.
QUEEN BEE ARRIVES
Busy Theater Corner Chosen
for Holding Court.
"SWARM" SETTLES IN CITY
Crowds on Alder Street, Near
Broadway, Witness Bit of Ru
ral Lite Country Boy Hives
Visitors in His Hat.
A little queen bee wanted to see the
Rose Festival, s she started for Port
land, from where no one seems to
know. She arrived too late to witness
the festivities, but 'she was located yes
terday rfternoon on a lamp post on the
north side of Alder street, Just a little
bit west of Broadway.
If she had .been alone 99 out of every
100 passersby would never have given
her a second thought, but the mere fact
that she Drought along about 369,482 of
her followers was responsible for hvr
being the center of much comment
and action.
Just why she should pick out a lamp
post located at one of the busy the
ater corners is a problem that perhaps
only a Maeterlinck could solve, but the
main thing is that she landed, and that
was the extent of her worrying. She
was two days late for the annual Rose
Festival, so she held a festival all her
own yesterday, and her audience was
large and varied.
As is the custom at such an affair,
everyone who saw her with her boost
ers vri i to offer some suggestion as
to the method of procedure to pry her
from the post. Everything from pour
ing sugar over them to burning a match
was tried to no avail. Someone sug
gested that they be scraped off, but
who would do the deed was the next
Question.
Around the corner hove a patrolman
in his leisurely manner. Whether or
not Miss Queen Bee recognized him is
not known, but at any rate her follow
ers immediately became antagonistic
and right away wanted to battle. There
were not enough opponents when Gen
eral Getaway took hold, for the army
of watchers began scattering, with the
result that- the attack had to be post
poned.
At last A. P. Rowe, of 170 St. Clair
street, with a little more courage
than any of the rest, put his Panama
over what he thought was Miss
Queenle, and it was not long until the
darkness caused her to close her
woolly eyes, and she fell in a heap. This
act was the' signal for the other bees
to take part in the ceremony and, after
the hat had become full, all were put
in a box and the last seon of them
they were having a merry after-dinner
ride in 4 one of the fleet."
FERRY IS BEING REBUILT
Old "Tacoma" Will Carry Cars for
Milwaukee Railway.
TACOMA, Wash.. June 17. (Special.)
It is a matter of only a few weeks
now until the Milwaukee Railway will
place a new car barge in service be
tween its terminals at Port Angeles and
Seattle. The barge Is rebuilding at Ta
coma, and when completed will be one
of the biggest car ferries in the North
west, with a capacity of 24 cars.
Prosaic enough is the announcement
but to many Tacomans, Milwaukee
Terminal Railway No. 6, as tbe vessel
will be named, can bring back many
memories of Journeys between Tacoma
and Portland in the old day's when
the Northern Pacific transported its
trains by ferry from Kalama, Wash.,
to Goble, Or. She was known as ..the
Tacoma. The ferry was built 33 years
ago at Portland by the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth Corporation, of Wilmington,
Del.
TACOMA TO BUILD 5 SHIPS
Half of Number Contracted by
William II. Todd Assigned.
TACOMA. Wash., Junj 17. (Spe
cial.) Five of the ten 7500-ton steel
steamers contracted for in Washing
ton, 1. C, with the Federal Shipping
Board by William H. Todd, president of
the Todd Shipbuilding: Corporation and
the Seattle Construction & Drydock
Company, will be built in Tacoma. The
contracts coming- to Tacoma aggregate
$7,000,000.
The Tacoma and Seattle companies
are sister subsidiaries of the Todd
Shipyards Corporation of New York.
The steamers will be of the Golden Gate
type and will be 39S feet lonar, S3 feet
wide and 29 feet 3 Inches deep. Triple
expansion engines of 2400 horsepower
will motor eah ship.

she is disagreeable; if she says them

she says nothing: but, of course, she
never does.
BOND SALE TEACHES
USE OF SECURITIES
Market for Prime Municipals
Will Be Better in Oregon,
It Is Believed.
PREMIUM BIDS EXPECTED
Port Bonds and $1,000,000 High
way Paper Will Soon Be Offered
Investors Paper Sold In
East Heretofore.
Now that the state's full allotment
and more of liberty bonds has been
sold, bond salesmen again will turn
their attention to the regular bond
market, which promises to thrive as a
result of the recent campaign.
One immediate effect of the liberty
bond activities has been to educate the
Portland public on the nature of bonds
as investment media-
Portland people as a whole have
been astonishingly ignorant of bonds
and the proper place of bonds in the
commercial world. Portland is not a
bond-buying community. I
People here have been wont to tin-
vest their money in real estate which
plays higher return when it pays
so investors looking lor 6 and s and 10
per cent heretofore have spurned the
entreaties of the glib bond merchants.
Municipal Rates to Decrease.
Bond men are agreed that the recent
campaign will create an increased de
mand for prime municipal and indus
trial securities, although the compara
tively high net return that has pre
vailed on municipals in the past may
be toned down for the period of the
war.
Heretofore the best municipals, such
as those of the city of Portland, of the
state of Idaho and of the Port of Port
land, for instance, have sold to yield
a net income of 3.75 to 4 per cent.
But with the Government paying
only 8H on what is regarded as the
best security in the world., it is be
lieved that the municipal market can
not be sustained at its former level.
What effect this situation wtll have
on the contemplated sale of the Oretron
road improvement bonds and the Port
of Portland elevator bonds authorised
at the recent election is a subject of
interesting reflection on the part of
all bond dealers.
Money Is Plentiful.
The enormous oversubscription to the
Federal liberty loan indicates that
there is plenty of money in the coun
try awaiting investment.
In view of this fact the State High
way Commission is hopeful that they
can command a substantial premium
on their initial offer of H.OOOTaoO 4 per
cent road Improvement bonds contem
plated for the coming Summer.
Under terms of the measure enacted
by the people at the recent election no
more than $1,000,000 of the $6,000,000
issue can be sold this year, and the
Commission has the right to reject all
bids.
If money continues as plentiful as it
appeared to be last week, when people
figuratively fell over themselves to
buy liberty bonds, it is probable that
the road bonds and other municipals
running for a long period will go to
a high figure.
Some bond men, however, are in
clined to be a little bit akeptical over
the prospect of any municipal 4s get
ting a premium, no matter how good
the security.
Income Tax Possible.
While the Government never has ap
plied the Income tax to holdings of
municipal bonds, and does not contem
plate doing so now, the apprehension
that the Government may be com
pelled to do something of the kind be
fore the war is over always is present.
But the education that the local
public gained through the liberty bond
sales is expected td make Portland and
Oregon a bond buying center in the
future. Heretofore most of the securi
ties issued here have been marketed
elsewhere.
Salsmen last week were surprised at
the number of men who manifested ig
norance over what a bond really is,
how it is Issued, what it represents and
how it is paid.
One successful business man who
bought a large block of liberty bonds
actually believed that the Government
doesn't contemplate paying any inter
est. Scores of'men couldn't understand
why they couldn't get bonds in ii and
J 5 lots.

"Warm Weather.
Rises from one Xoot to ons foot and
a half a day are expected for the next
three days alona- the Willamette River,
cays Assistant Forecaster Drake, as a
result of yesterday's warm spell. The
temperature over the eastern portion
of the North Pacific district yesterday
was, on the average, about four de
grees above normal.
The Snake, Clearwater and Columbia
rivers are risine, but not as rapidly as
several days ago. According to pres
ent indications, the Willamette will
be at the S5-foot stage in Portland by
next Wednesday. The readings yester
day showed that the river can be ex
pected to reach the 22. 4 foot staire to
day, 23.6 feet tomorrow and 25 feet
Wednesday.
Umatilla and Kamiah each showed an
increase of 1.1 feet, while Lewiston,
Idaho, reported a rise of 2.1 feet. Both
Portland and Albany failed to note a
change in the height of the river,
while Eugene had a .02 rise and Ore
gon City was good fora .04 increase.
The warm weather of yesterday
caused the snows to melt a little faster
in the mountains and for that reason
the change for the next three days will
be rather rapid. The official river

and it looked as if most of them
brought their baskets and- had
lunch under the trees but bless
their hearts, there wasn't any
crowding, for twice as many could
be cared for.
And how they do love the music
that McElroy knows how to give
them that's why he and his fa
mous band are back this week for
a special series of popular and pa
triotic programmes every evening
at eighty-thirty.
But you needn't wait all day for
music as the Metropolitan Orches

popular' melodies at three every
afternoon.
Swimming's fine, and the danc
ing in the pavilion every night is
attracting a splendid gathering of
young folks and those who feel
young.
Organizations that have not yet
made their appointments for special
picnlo arrangements should do so
