FAMILY GATHERING.- V ie Bank of Calif MAN UNIQUE EDITORS -ROYALLY THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1917. SPORTS V George Wright, Here to See Tennis Play, Recalls inter esting History. SHORTSTOP PLAYED IN '69 Father of Deals C. Wright Was In Etrnmental in Starting Profes sional Baseball Golf and Tennis Held Best. Portland had" the honor of having Seals C Wright and his father, George C. Wright, attend the boys" and Junior singles tennis tournament at the Irvington Club last week. Beals C. Wright acted as referee and needed no Introductions, as he la ranked as one of the greatest tennis players in the world. His father took in all the matches with great interest. He thinks that tennis and golf are the best games out. This may sound strange from Mr. Wright, who, with the late A. J. Spalding, started prof ereional baseball In this country and played with the Cincinnati Red Sox in 1869. American Sport Recalled Listening" to the talk of Mr. Wright is like hearing the voice of the his tory of American sport. In 1890 Mr. Wright and half a dozen enthusiasts astonished the city fathers of Boston by asking their permission to golf on Franklin Park. The mu nicipal authorities were completely mystified as to what It was all about, hut grudgingly granted the request, with the result that a year later the neighboring Brooklyn Country Club adopted the game. In 1869 the Cincinnati Red Sox in vaded California to astonish the local teams with their wizardry. They were not only the first team to visit the Pacific Coast, but were the first base ball players to sign a contract and asknowledge their professionalism to the world. The golfer of today was the shortstop of " '69" and remem bers everything as If It were yesterday. The team that represented San Fran cisco were "the Kaglee" they were birds in those days but if Mr. Wright's memory is not playing tricks with him, they were not brilliant. He says that the second-rate player had a poor chance of escaping notice in that ex acting period, as there were no mitts. "You grabbed 'em out of the sky bare handed." The hitting, he thinks, was Juet as hard as it is today, because the pitching was less swift and not half so subtle. Ilafieball Played Ten Years. The Cincinnati" were not defeated for two seasons, a record that the old shortstop believes has not been equaled eince. They were eventually van quished by a New York team, the "At lantics." The spoiled record was taken so seriously to heart that the team broke up at the end of the season, and Mr. Wright and several other players migrated to the Boston Red Sox. They at once assisted in winning another championship. Mr. Wright played firft-class base ball ten years, until 1879, when he waved an adieu to the diamond as playing manager of she pennant-winning Providence team. "It is always well to leave off on a top note," he puts it now. Tennis began to grow popular In the early '80s and about that time the Na tional organization was founded. Mr. Wright enjoyed playing, but could not repeat the success that had been his at baseball. He, however, determined that his sons ehould be champions, and had a court laid out near his home at Boston. Beals, the elder son, was good, even in his knickerbocker days, and helped Harvard to beat Yale. In 1905 he won the National championship, and later, as all the world recognizes, proved himself one of the greatest players as a representative of his country in the Davis cup games. Tennis Interests Mr. Wright Wright, Sr., has seen the principal tournaments of recent years. He thinks the best dieplay of tennis he has witnessed was' Beals Wright's de feat of Anthony Wilding and Norman Brookes in the Davis cup games in Australia. His son does not depend upon drastic kill shots like the Cali fornia champions, but maneuvers his opponents out of position by accurate placement strokes, and reached his l.ighest pinnacle of excellence in those contests. Asked to name the greatest player of all time, the father of two of the best replied that he regarded Maurice McLoughlin, William Johnston, An thony Wilding, Norman Brookes, the Doherty brothers and Norrls Williams as all on a par. He considers that tennis is the greatest of all games because it 'de mands such all-round qualities of body, heart and mind. It will astonish many to hear that this head of a great sporting goods house thinks that more people are now playing golf than any other game. He Justifies this statement by pointing out that thousands of elderly men who frequent the links do not indulge ia any other sport. Tennis he deems far more difficult than golf. There are many golf cham pions, and Ouimet climbed to the top of the ladder in three years. No tennis champion was ever made in less than eight to ten years, and they may be numbered on the fingers on one hand. After a delightful drive over the Co lumbia River Highway yesterday, George Wright left for the East and Beals C. Wright went back to his ap ple farm at North Yakima. TEAMS ABSORB SOME PLAYERS Shipbuilding Baseball League to Call Men From Defunct Clubs. SEATTLE, July 15.

Marsans' Traded for Magee. ST. LOUIS, July 15. Armando Mar sans has been traded by the St. Louis Americans to the New York Americans for Lee Magee, it was learned tonight from President Johnson, who is in St. Louis to investigate reports that J. Franklin Baker, of the New York Americans, and a number of St. Louis players had been considering offers from clubs in independent leagues in the East. Mr. anJ Mrs. William Wlntermantle celebrated their fiftieth wedding an niversary Monday at a family reunion at the home, 929 Belmont street. Mr. Wlntermantle served as a corporal in the Third Wisconsin Cavalry dur ing the Civil War. The couple married in Ackly, Ia. Later they moved to Oregon and purchased a farm, the location now being known as Alto Park. For the festive gathering the rooms at their home in Portland were decorated with masses of flowers. Handsome presents were received by the couple. Those present were George H. A. M. Stone, Mrs. William Finnlgan and Mrs. Herman Enke, and the follow ing grandchildren: Orr Stone, Viola Stone. Bertha Stone, tCmlly Stone, Rose Stone, Loas Stone, Delbert Finnlgan, Wilma Enke, June Enke and Doris Enke. RIVER BILL CHANGED Erroneous Wording Operates Against Portland. CHANNEL IS 30 FEET DEEP Senator Chamberlain Has Text of Pending Measure Corrected to Prevent Impression as to the Depth at Columbia's Mouth. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 15. Althougn Congress, on July 25, 1912, adopted a project looking to a 30-foot channel in the Willamette and Columbia rivers from Portland to the sea, a Juggling of official records distorted the will of Congress and re sulted, on paper at least. In so changing this project as to provide for a 30-foot channel from Portland to Brookfield and a 26-foot channel from Brookfield to the sea. This change was made without au thority from Congress, its original in tention having been clearly stated in the river and harbor act of 1912, but the confusion existed Just the same, and to clarify the situation Senator Chamberlain procured a change in the wording of the pending river and har bor bill which Insures the maintenance of a 30-foot depth all the way from Portland to the sea. A report sent to the commerce com mittee by the Secretary of War explains how the misunderstanding crept into official records. The 1915 and 1916 re ports repeat this erroneous description, notwithstanding the absurdity of the idea of having a lesser depth at the entrance and through the 'estuary than is maintained in the upper river. A report from Major Jewett, recently sent to the Senate committee seeks to clear up the situation, and on this re port the Chamberlain amendment Is based. The report, in part, says: "The project for the Columbia and Lower Willamette rivers below Port land does not specifically limit dredg ing in the estuary from Brookfield to Fort Stevens to 26 feet, and a reason able construction of the language' in the report of the district officer would indicate, it is believed, that a channel with a depth of 30 feet from Portland to the mouth of the Columbia River was contemplated. "All bars In the main channel from Brookfield to the mouth have been dredged to 30 feet, but this depth has not been continuously maintained. The governing depths on these bars at mean low water, according to the latest sur veys, are as follows: Pillar Rock. 30; Harrington Point, 28; No. 2 Beacon, 30; Tongue Point Crossing, 27; Upper Sands, 28; Flavel Shoal, 27; Desde mona, 30. "All dredging in the estuary is now changed to maintenance. No difficulty is expected in recovering and maintain ing with the existing floating plant the project depth of 30 feet on all the bars."

The CAMP SERVICES HELD IN DIN OF SOLDIERS' TARGET PRACTICE Third Oregon Chaplain Delivers Sermdn Under Difficulties Two Dozen Members Absent Without Leave Company L Has Crack Ball Team. WITH THE THIRD REGIMENT, OREGON INFANTRY, July 15. (Special.) Visitors to camp to day enjoyed an opportunity of getting some idea of a religious service under fire. While the chaplain was deliver ing his sermon, and while the band was playing hymns. Major Edmond Z. Daley's student officer engineers were shooting at the targets from the 200 yard range. A curious thing has developed in the Third Oregon regarding what is known in the service as the "A. W. O. L.'s" soldiers of the Third who have not re sponded to the call of the President soldiers absent without leave. There are only 25 of them, and a curious thing in this connection is that not one of them was recruited by company commanders. Every one was enlisted after the Third had been sent to the border in 1916. Another is Private Walter A. Baer. Company D. Private. Baer has been carried on the muster roll of the Third as being absent without leave. It was learned recently that he had be come involved in some trouble with the state officials in Idaho. What ever that trouble was, it was sufficient to prevent him from answering the call, and also of obtaining his discharge from the service. Company L baseball team, by defeat ing the Supply Company, 10 to 5, wind ing up a winning streak of 16 straight games, undoubtedly will become regi mental champions. K.uck and Farley were the winning combination for company L. Private Herbert R. Welshons, Com pany A, has received his discharge from the Western Department for de pendency. Of the seven applications made on the ground of dependency, his was the only one accepted.

AL FRESCO MEALS WIN ALL Citizens of Joseph, Men and "Women, Entertain In Princely Fashion on Banks of Beautiful Wallowa River. BY ADDISON BENNETT. LA GRANDE, Or., July "15. (Spe cial.) The rounding out of a perfect day and approaching the last lap of a wonderful trip, I find myself lost In admiration for the splendid people we have met and the unparalleled recep tions and treatment given us by the communities we have visited and, as this is written, we still have the La Grande people to meet tonight, as O. C. Lelter has been receiving wires and telephone messages by the dozen. I opine the good people of his home town will outdo themselves in hospitality. We left Pendleton last night at 10:30 In a really truly train De Luxe consist- ng of five Pullmans, one observation car, a day coach and at La Grande took on the private car- of President J. D. Farrell. occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Farrell and several other members of his family. Thus we had a train that not only did credit to the O. W. R. & N. Company, but would be considered a fine train on any one of 'the best roads in the United States. After enjoying a fine night's rest in the invigorating air of Eastern Oregon, we find ourselves at 6 o'clock this morning winding up the beautiful Wallowa River, having passed through the famous Grand Ronde Valley and up the tortuous chasms of the Grand Ronde River. A perfect morning, presaging a glo rious day, the limpid waters of the has tening river by our side, the purple glow In the snow-capped mountains on every side, the waving fields of grain and forage surrounding us, we passed through the thriving cities of Wallowa and Enterprise and as the clocks struck 7 we stopped at Joseph, the end of the road, and 7 was the hour set down in the schedule. There were nearly 60 automobiles to meet us and a couple of hundred citi zens to greet us. Soon we were seated n the vehicles and away for the head of Wallowa Lake, 10 miles distant, over seven miles of which was along the eastern shores of the Minamlike waters of one of Oregon's most famous lakes. At the head of the lake, where the waters of the Wallowa River com rushing down from the mountains, we found a splendid grove, and in it were spread the tables and here was being prepared our breakfast. This meal, as well as our lunch, was the result of combined efforts of the 100 members of the Joseph Commercial Club, led by its president. J. Ross Les lie. A number of us were taken in autos through the valley and caught the train at Enterprise and here we are In La Grande. May the La Grande people do their best, as we know they will. but they cannot obliterate from our memories the great hospitality of the people of Pendleton, or the glorious day FA3IOIJS TENNIS VISITORS AND PORTLAND ENTHUSIAST. 5 y . .x-xz , !- .; . 1 t J At Top Benin C.
