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. With the official
demise of, the Seattle and Vancouver
baseball teams of the Northwestern
League, the four eastern teams of the
circuit which have decided to continue
play will claim a number of their play
ers. Clink. Hood, Hamilton, Stokke
and Barham, of the Vancouver team,
and Bill Cunningham, Seattle, will go
with the Tacoma te.m to Billings.
Acosta, Vancouver, and Murphy, Seat
tle, will go to Butte.
Of the other members of these teams,
several will probably enter the ship
building game and play with the Ship
building League, a four-team local or
ganization, which has already claimed
numerous former Northwestern
Leaguers.

ST. LOUIS, July 15. Armando Mar
sans has been traded by the St. Louis

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."

COOS BAY, July 13. (Special.) 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. The

following her having been repaired at this
port. The steamer was hauled off the
Guatemala shores by a salvage company or
ganized l-y I. E. Skinner, of the Skinner &
Eddy Shipbuilding Corporation, or this city,
and brought to this port last April. She
had been on the sands near Ocos for nearly
10 years and today about 100 friends of the
owners participated in the trial trip, which
partook of the nature of an excursion. The
vessel left port at 11 A. M. and returned
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The demonstra
tion was pronounced entirely satisfactory, as
she maintained a minimum speed of 11
knots during the five hours. She will com
mence loading tor her first outward voyage
since her reconstruction in the next few
days. She has been chartered by H. F.
Ostrander &. Cb. for a round trip to the

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
