16 TITE 3IORXIXG OKEGOXIAN. THURSDAY. J"CIT 4, 1918. SPORT FANS HAVE BIG DAY IN STORE Baseball, Golf, Athletic Car nivals and Motorboat Cruises Scheduled. MANY TO SEE AUTO RACES Huge Military Field Meet and Box ing Bouts at Vancouver Will At tract Thousands Several Golf Tournaments Are on Tapis. This Independence Day will not be devoid of sport attractions as a large number of athletic events are sched uled for today, including baseball games, golf tournaments, motorboat cruises, athletic meets and boxing bouts. Even auto races are within the reach of those who can afford to make the trip. In the baseball line there is a double header scheduled for the .Vaughn street park. Cornfoot and Columbia Eiver of the Shipbuilders' League will meet in the first affair while Judge McCredle's Buckaroos will tangle with the winner in the "main event." Corn foot should not have much trouble de feating Columbia River, but when it comes to the Bucks it may be a differ ent story, in fact if Cornfoot does win and then manages to trim Portland, it will be the first defeat to be registered against the Bucks for some time and, incidentally, the second time defeat at the hands of a shipbuilders' team. The first game will start at 1:30. Three Fast Games Billed. There are three other games sched uled in the Columbia-Willamette Ship builders' circuit today. Grant Smith Porter will play Supple-Ballin at St .Tohns; E'oundation will meet Standifer at Vancouver, and McCormick will tan gle with Peninsula at St. Helens. The Foundation-Standifer game bids fair to attract the largest number of fol lowers of the Shipbuilders League, and should be a classy game. Both teams are right near the top in the league., and it is a toss-up as to which of the two teams is the fastest in the league. The Peninsula team has struck a fast stride and should make things interest ing for Grant Smith-Porter at St. Johns. In the golf line there will be plenty doing at every local club. The Waver ley Country Club will be the scene of the second Liberty tournament of the season, the qualifying rounds of the directors' cup tournament will be played at the Portland Golf Club and a Red Cross tournament will feature the day at the Tualatin Country Club. Soldiers to Hold Carnival. Vancouver Barracks will be the mec ca of thousands of Portlanders, who will go there to witness the monster athletic carnival, which will hold the boards all day from 9:30 o'clock this morning until late at night. Every branch of troops stationed at the Van couver PoBt will take part in the list of events programmed for the day. It is estimated that more than 400 sol diers will compete in the various races - and stunts. A massive grandstand, which will hold 5000 people, has been erected on one side of the big athletic field. As a grand climax to the day's cele bration at the Barracks an all-star boxing show, featuring the best talent available, will be staged in the open air arena, beginning promptly at 8:30 o'clock. Lieutenant Sheehy, who has arranged the bouts, reports that all of the mittmen are in good condition and prepared to fight their best tonight. The bout which is attracting the most attention is between Joe Gorman, featherweight champion of the North west, and Weldon "Toughey" Wing. The mill between Claire "Kid" Bromeo and Eddie Hagerty is also coming in for its share of speculation, and might develop to be the best contest on the varied bill. Karrell Will Go Into Action. The post championships at every weight will be decided in the prelimi naries. Marty Karrell, middleweight champion of the Pacific Coast and the cleverest boxer that has ever fought in Portland, will box either Larry Madden or Val Sontag in a special bout. Son tag is former amateur middle and heavyweight champion of the Pacific Coast and either he or Madden should put up a good bout against Farrell, even though they might not expect to beat the shifty New Yorker. Seven other bouts are on the card. Motorboat enthusiasts will make the Portland Motorboat Club cruise to Ma gone's landing their objective today, and as the Motorboat Club always does things up right, they should have soma time. A regular programme has been arranged for the day featuring surf board riding and other aquatic feats. Those who are fortunate enough to own an automobile or have plenty of "kale" will spend today or the after noon in Tacoma, Wash., and look over the automobile races. Six of the best drivers in the United States have entered the big races and have made . Their motto 110 miles an hour or bust. Some of them will likely bust a tire at - least.

WOMAN GOLF STAR TO COMPETE HERE Waverley Club Will Select Representative to Meet Mrs. William A. Gavin. PLAY IS SET FOR JULY 9 Metropolitan Woman's Champion Touring Country at Own Expense in Interests of War Work. Fleager Today's Opponent. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Mrs. William A. Gavin, regarded as the foremost woman golfer of the British Isles and Metropolitan wom an's champion, will play an exhibition match at the Waverley Country Club Tuesday, July 9. the entire proceeds go ing to the Drake Section Sanitaire, an ambulance unit operated under the French military laws. Mrs. Gavin's opponent has not yet been selected, but the directors of the Waverley Country Club will meet to day with Mrs. Gavin's private secre tary, Mr. Parker, who left Seattle last night to make final arrangements for the famous woman golfer's appearance in this city. President Graham Glass, of the Waverley Country Club, has been try ing to get in touch with Mrs. Gavin or her representative for the past few days in order that everything possible might be done to assist in the worthy cause which Mrs. Gavin is so gloriously exploiting, but was unable to locate her. Seattle Match to Be Played Today. The writer talked with Mrs. Gavin over long-dietance prions at Seattle last niht, where Mrs. Gavin is pro grammed to meet Dixie Fleager in an exhibition match today at the Seattle Country Club. Mrs. Gavin said that she was scheduled to play in Portland July 9, but outside of the Western Golf As sociation scheduling her to appear here on the above date she had heard noth ing whatever from any of the local clubs. When advised that the Waver ley Country Club would be pleased to stage an exhibition match between her and one of the Waverley golfers she was elated. At the present writing it appears that Forrest Watson, the Waverley Coun try Club's young golfer, will be se lected as Mrs. Gavin's opponent. While this arrangement is only tentative the matter will be definitely decided today when the directors and Mr. Parker have a conference. Watson won the 1916 Potlatch championship at Seattle and also the qualifying rounds in the 1916 Pacific Northwest tournament, and was second in the open event. He is 20 years of age. Mrs. Gavin is typical of the woman golfer of today. She is out doing her "bit" for the allies and is traveling around the country paying all her own expenses Either an admission fee will be charged for those attending the ex hibition or a collection will be taken up. Not since Harry Vardon and Ted Ray visited Portland has there been a golfer of Mrs. Gavin's reputation scheduled to visit this city. Her mission is of an entirely different nature from that of the two British professionals. Travers Beaten Handily. Two years ago Mrs. Gavin met Je rome Travers, former National amateur champion. He gave her nine strokes and he was beaten by a comfortable margin. Since that time Mrs. Gavin has been meeting the most prominent amateur and professional golfers all over the country. The average handi cap her opponents of the opposite sex give her is nine strokes the 18-hole round. She has won a big majority of her matches. Mrs. Gavin is said to be a very in teresting woman. She is famous in England as an all-around sportswoman. She was one of the first women to be come interested in flying, and piloted her own machine as early as 1911. Her versatility as a sportswoman is shown In her well-earned reputation as a big game shot. She hunted with Fauk Rainey's lion hounds in East Africa, with the renowned hunter. Shelly. Driven Average 200 Yards. It is in golf that Mrs. Gavin shows her skill to the best advantage. She is recognized by the golf public as probably the greatest stylist, and has been christened the female Vardon. She is said to be a living refutation of the popular belief that brute force is necessary to the attainment of distance in driving a ball, and while her physi cal attributes are disinctly feminine delicate wrists and delicate ankles yet 200 yards is the average length of her drive. Miss Ethel Langdon Drake, after after whom the Drake Section Sani taire was named, will be a Portland visitor next Tuesday, in company with Lieutenant Virginia K. Chandler. A number of social events will be planned for the entertainment of Mrs. Gavin. Miss Drake and Lieutenant Chandler during their stay in this city. MEXICANS SEE GAME "LARGE GAME OF BASEBALL" IS ENJOYED BY VISITORS. Fditor Describes Sensations Coincident With Hla Views of Ameri can Pastime. A few of the visiting Mexican Jour nalists for the first time in their lives went to a baseball game in New Tork when they were in the big city. Base ball is known in Mexico even less than in most other Spanish-American coun tries. The only national sport Is pe lota, a type of handball, but that is not generally popular. Witnessing the drama of a bullfight enacted by pro fessionals is the only great pastime. Jose Campos, the news editor of the Excelsior, a large Mexico City daily, saw his first game in New York. Upon his return to his hotel he wrote for one of the cities leading papers this description of the contest: A large game of baseball was celebrated this afternoon in the polo arena In the city of the Bronx, a long ride by train from New York City. As is the custom in the United States of North America, many of tbe busi ness houses closed for the afternoon so em ployes might attend the spectacle. At least 3.UO0.OO0 civilians, soldiers and many women and children were present. Tbe pitcher for the New Torlc City troupe was very valiant and charming. Tbe base ball clothing is not as pretty as) that worn by the torrero. but the players carry them selves welL The game is played with the hands, but Is not like pelota in any respect. The object is to keep the ball off the ground, and the troupe which does so the longest wins tbe game. In place of a bull baseball has an umpire, a man who does not play the gram?, but who is authority of the game. Unlike the Judge of the bullfight, he atands on the field. He Is not goaded with pikes, banderillas and finally the sword, as is the bull, but is the recipient of abuse from both the players and the multitude seated In the has tnaa. In stead of "another bull" the crouds when displeased yell. "Get the hook!" That la a figure of speech which means that another umpire Is desired. The umpire Is also called a "robber" and a "big- fathead." The baseball crowds yell even more than the bullfigbt crowds, which Is extraordi nary because nobody Is maimed or killed. The Interest largely i ja the rivalry between tbe cities whose troupes are represented. Cincinnati, a large city in the East, and New York are deadly rivals. The people at a baseball same are con tinually eating- or chewing; gum or smoking. But these occupations of the mouth do not prevent a perpetual yelling. It Is difficult for one knowing little English to understand the things cried at the players or the umpire. But J assume from the manner of expression that words common to the lower classes are used. On a large board at the back of the field Is enumerated tbe number of times that each troupe drops the ball. The troupe drop ping tbe ball the fewest times wins the game. Unlike the bullfight. It Is difficult to predict which will win. In that respect tbe American game of baseball is typical of all things American It is more spectacular than scientific I think If I understood English perfectly and had played baseball all my life and had not been born a Mexican I should like to see a baseball game every year on my birthday anniversary. COAST TITLE AT STAKE BR0S05 AND IXGLE LOCK HORS9 TONIGHT AT ABERDEEN, Record Crowd Will See Portland Boy Try Comeback Stoat Direr to Tangle with Mick King at Everett. Muff Bronson. Portland's lightweight Idol, will battle George Ingle, light weight champion of the Pacific Coast, for 10 rounds tonight at Aberdeen, Wash., for the title. Muff left for the Grays Harbor city yesterday. Bronson has been training like a demon for his tilt with the rugged Seattle mixer and will make the try of his life to regain his lightweight crown. The bout has stirred the Aberdeen fistic fans to white heat and Match maker Harry Druxman. of the Moose Club, who is staging tbe contest, can not figure out where he Is going to put all the fans that want to see the match. Druxman states in a letter received yesterday that he looked for the entire SPORTING EVENTS BILLED FOR TODAY. Baseball Vaughn-street park, double-header.

Bronson Is a great favorite In Aber deen, but Ingle also has his admirers, and the fans are about evenly divided. They are wagering even money on the match, with plenty of "long green" on each boy. There are several good preliminaries on the bill, every one of which looks to be a real bout. A party of local boxing followers will make the trip to Aber deen today to take in the match and back Bronson to the limit over the champion. Muff certainly has been going in sensational stye the past few months and should give Ingle the en gagement of his career. Jimmy Darcy (Valley Trambltas), the aggrassive Portland middleweight. Is another well-known local boxer who will nil an out-of-town engagement to day. Darcy Is scheduled to travel four rounds against Mick King in Everett, Wash., tonight. It will be Darcy's sec ond bout with the Australian, he hav ing met him in Seattle several months ago, losing the decision. In the Se attle bout Darcy had all tbe best of It In the first round and a half of milling, but blew up and proved an easy victim for King. Darcy has been training hard for the return match and hopes to even matters up today. e Silent Rector, a deaf- and dumb boxer who started in the game here several years ago, is now in New York and is doing well. Rector had several 10 round bouts In New York before boxing was banned and made good. Since the lid has been closed in New York he has been boxing every once in a while In New Jersey. He is In the tire busi ness and has not had much time for boxing of late, but In a letter to a friend here says that with tbe opening of the game in New Jersey he is think ing of returning to the ring. Rector fought several times here at the old Rose City Athletic Club and will be remembered by many of the fight fans. SCHOOL ATHLETE JOINS NAVY "Tex" Willlford, of Jefferson High, Goes to Bremerton. Bert ("Tex") Willlford. well-known Jefferson High School athlete and ac tive In all school affairs fop the past four years, will leave this week for the naval training school at Brem erton, Wash. Willlford will be remembered as the highest point-getter of the recent ln terscholastio track and field meet, out classing his opponents in all of the events that he entered. Williford was also a star football man and in other lines of athletics. Dr. Willing: Called to Colors. Dr. O. F. Willing, one of the lead ing players of the Portland Golf Club, who enlisted In the . United States Army last Fall as a dental surgeon, has received orders to report for duty at Pelham Bay Park, N. Y and will leave Saturday. Dn. Willing was a member of the team that represented the club at the Pacific Northwest golf tournament held last month In Seattle. He is the second member of the club to enlist In the dental surgery division of the Army, Dr. W. I. Northup hav ing preceded him a few weeks ago. Baseball Summary. National Leagoe Standings. W.

PLAYERS GROOMING FOR STATE TITLES Oregon Tennis Championships to Be Decided in Portland During This Month. SEVERAL CHAMPIONS GONE Mrs. W I. Northup Probably Will Not Be Competitor This Year. Wolfard and Wlckersham Out. Sew Players to Enter. With fine July weather prevailing. tennis players are praying for the state championship tournament which Is to take place some time during the latter part of this month. Although tbe Oregon tournament this year will start rather late, it has noth ing on the Washington State champion ship tournament, which will start on Monday, July 29, or the Pacific North west championship, which will be played In Tacoma the week of August 5. The city championship tournament, which was awarded to the Multnomah Club when It was learned that Laurel hurst would not hold the state cham pionship this year. Is causing a con siderable amount of Interest among the local tennis players, especially the younger set. who believe that they have a good chance this Summer of captur ing some of the events, for the first time since championship tennis tourna ments began to make their appearance la this neck of the woods. Many Star Still Available. While war has taken some of the crack men players of Oregon, there ar enough left to stir up some brisk com petition. From the successes of the Multnomah and Irving ton handicap tournaments there Is no doubt but that the local state tournament will make a great hit. It is very doubtful If Mrs. W. I. Northup, last year's woman's state champion, will be back this year to de fend her title. Miss Fording, who, with Mrs. Northup as her partner, won last year's women's doubles title, will un doubtedly participate this year, but who will be her partner is still a puz zle to most of the fans. Catling Wolfard, last year's men's singles champion, has not been heard of. but rumor has It that he is now In the Army. In that case he will not be able to defend his title this Summer. Wlckersham Ont of It. It is almost certain that Brandt Wlckersham will not be back, as he is at present eapployed in San Francisco. Wlckersham was the 1915 men's singles champion and last Spring, with Catlln Wolfard. held the men's doubles title. Miss Irene Campbell, runner up for the women's singles championship, Is at present in Eugene, but she has not as yet decided whether she will partici pate In the tournament or not. It looks very much as If there will be at least two or three new faces seen In the finals this year and the younger set will have a fine opportunity of springing a surprise. VANCOUVER LOSES, 5-4 BICKAROOS AHEAD WHEN GAME IS CALLED IX SEVENTH. Darkness, According to Vsnplre Rankin. Is Too Stygian to Warrant Playing, but Fans Think Otherwise. Portland added another win to Its long list of victories yesterday when the Buckaroos romped away with their game with Vancouver, score 5 to 4. All doubt that Umpire Rankin enjoys good eyesight was dispelled when, at the conclusion of the first half of the sev enth inning, he stepped on the home plate and announced to the handful of people present that the game had been called on account of darkness. Hos tilities could have been resumed for at least another hour. The fans present sent up an awful howl and they had it coming. But. getting back to the fracas, the Buckaroos, with Clow on the mound, took an early start in the scoring and at the end of the fifth frame had the contest well In hand with the score standing 5 to 0, but "Kewple" Clow weakened in the sixth inning long enough to let Vancouver chase across three runs. French's triple and Mc Kenna'a single In the seventh added another tally to Vancouver's score. Arthur Bourg has always been known hereabouts as a southpaw flrst-sacker until yesterday, when Pearl Casey trotted him out as a portstde twlrler and, while it was Arthur's first attempt at pitching, he did fairly well, but the Buckaroos showed him no mercy, cracking out nine safe hits. Today's double-header starts prompt, ly at 1:30 o'clock.

The Standifer team is still smarting from the s-to-1 defeat handed them by the McCormick team in St. Helens Sun day and are after another game with Eddie Mensor's "dark horses." Inci dentally it is rumored that the Van couver contingent who journeyed down the river Sunday to take In the con test left a good-sized roll of 'filthy lucre" In the City of Destiny. Manager Eddie Peterson, of Standifer. is confident his team can wallop the daylights out of McCormick on a man slsed ball park and would like to en tice them to a game at Vaughn street. If the game Is arranged it will have no bearing on the league games, but will Just be a special contest among them selves. Eddie Mensor does not usually pass anything up In the line of challenges one way or the other, and It would not be surprising If he took Standifer up. ARMY CALLS DR. WILLING Prominent Golfer Commissioned In Military Dental Corps. Dr. O. K. Willing, prominent mem ber of the Portland Golf Club, has been commissioned in the dental department of the United States Navy and will leave Saturday for New York.
