tirandt Wickersham, Olin Lewis and
Miss Fording Only 1917 Win-
ners Likely to Compete
, This Season.
The Oregon state championship ten
nis tournament, which will open next
Monday, will have an entry list fully
as large as any of the past. There
arc 45 names on the long list at pres
ent and, as the entries will not close
until this evening. 20 or 25 additional
names will undoubtedly be added to
the long string.
Brandt Wickersham, who, with Cat
lin Wolfard as his partner, won the
men's doubles championship last year,
will be in Portland at the opening of
the tournament. It looks as if Mr.
"VVickersham, Olin Lewis and Miss
Stella Fording are the only winners
of last year who will be on hand Mon
day to defend their titles. Mrs. W. I.
Northup is in Chicago and Catlin "Wol
fard is also away from the city.
Glancing down the lists we find a
host of names of well-known , local
players. Although war has hit most
of the sports hard, there are no be
girjiers entered in the stats champion
ship tournament, every player being
an experienced man.
The entry ' list of .the fair sex is not
nearly as large as that of the men,
but, with the exception of Mrs. North
up, all of the winners of last year are
back.
Olin Lewis and Miss Stella Fording
are going to defend their title in the
mixed doubles event. This is the only
combination that has been left intact,
as the departure of Mrs. Northupq and
Catlin Wolfard broke up the combina
tion of winners in the women's dou
bles and men's doubles.
Following is the list of entries re
ceived up to date:

After careful deliberation and fore
thought three judges were finally chos
en last night by Instructor Jack Cody
to officiate in the A. A. TJ. Women's
National Diving Championships, which
will be staged at Multnomah Club Sat
urday night. The picking of judges to
decide practically a world's champion
ship is no joke, and it has caused
Swimming Instructor Jack Cody sev-
ral weeks of work and worry.
The men decided upon to render de
cisions are Frank Harmer, Harry
Fischer and T. Morris Dunne. These
three men are well known throughout
the Northwest as athletic authorities,
and have been prominent at Multnomah
Club for a number of years.
Other names were brought up for
judges, but some were opposed by the
divers themselves. Messrs. Harmer,
Fischer and Dunne are agreeable to all
of the contestants, and are thoroughly
capable of handling the championship
event. The officials for the rest of the
meet scheduled for Saturday night
were also named last night as follows:
Starter, Frank E. Watkins; judges,
Frank Harmer, Harry Fischer, T. Mor
ris Dunne; timers. Earl Dickinson,
George Parker. George Philbrooke; ref
eree, A. D. Wakeman; clerk of the
course, Harry Eddas; announcer,
George F. Holman.
The swimming meet, which is being
staged Saturday night along with the
women's national diving champion
ships, to determine the men that will
represent Multnomah Club at the P. N.
A. championships in Victoria, B. C, is
attracting a good deal of attention and
the entries-are coming in rapidly to In
structor Jack Cody. Up to date the
following men have entered the list of
events:
50-yard dash Ed Leslie. Myron Wllsey.
Albert Enegrene and Louis Balbach.

The P. N. A. championship swim

cording to a telegram received by
Frank E. Watkins, until August 24.
The annual M. A. A. C. marathon

24 this year, thereby conflicting with
the meet up north. As several of the

CAMP LEWIS, Wash., July 17. (Spe
cial.) After watching his players ca
vort about the diamond in practice
for a week Manager William Truckee,
of the newly organized Camp Military
Police Baseball team, announces that
he is now ready to arrange for games
with fast semi-professional teams In
the neighboring cities.
Several former professional ball play
ers are now on the Military Police
team and it is predicted that the ag
gregation will make a most creditable
showing when it stacks up against its
first opponent. Manager Truckee was
stopping high and wide ones around
the initial sack on a Western league
team when Uncle Sam summoned blm
to the colors. Another player belonged
to the Spokane Indians last season
while others have been swatting the
pill in all sorts of company, from sand
lot skirmishes to the National League.
However, an effort is being made to
obtain the services of one or two for-

mer major league pitchers who are
now in the Depot Brigade.
The Camp Military Police is com
posed of picked men from the Depot
Brigade and many well-known ath
letes are doing police duty. In view
of this fact it is expected that they
will acquit themselves with honors In
all branches of sport.
Captain R. A. Carter, commanding
officer of the- Camp Military Police, is
a firm believer in athletics as a rapid
means of physical development for his
men. It is largely due to his interest
and efforts that the necessary baseball
equipment was secured for the team.
An effort will shortly be made to
secure games with the police depart
ment teams of Seattle and Tacoma.
ATHLETES EYE 'DEVILS'
PIGSKIN STARS TO FOLLOW LEAD
OF BILL STEERS.
Famous Mare Island Eleven
Likely to Be Duplicated Is
- Football Season.
of 1917
1918
The enlistment of Bill Steers, Univer
sity of Oregon's star quarterback, in
the Marine Corps and his being sent
to Mare Island are but forerunners of
the enlistment of many other notables
In the football world who will join
Uncle Sam's soldiers of the sea and try
to make the famous Mare Island Marine
eleven for the coming season.
The Mare Island Marines were eas
ily the most formidable aggregation
in the West last season and it is doubt
ful if any other eleven in the country
could have taken their measure. They
easily defeated all the big teams on the
Pacific Coast both collegiate and in
dependent.
Football is coming in for consider
able discussion at the Mare Island Ma
rine barracks, according to word re
celved here from some of the boys
stationed on the island opposite Val-
lejo.
The impression is going the rounds
that Mare Island will be represented by
another fast eleven during the coming
Winter. It is announced that many
pigskin stars from the Middle West
and North are due to arrive within the
next two months and that some sen
sational performers will be uncovered
when the season opens.
But few of last season's champion
eleven will be on hand when the boys
turn out for practice, as Johnny Beck
ett, Elmer Hall and "Brick" Mitchell
are gone and are now located at the
marine officers' training camp at
Quantico, Va., and Brown and Sander
son are to depart for the East this
week.
Among the members of last season's
team still at the barracks, are Teberg,
Huntington, Bailey, Purdy and a few
of lesser light. How long these play
ers will be stationed at the island is
not known.

Tacoma to answer Uncle Sam's call. He
has been with the St. Louis Cardinals
since finishing with Little Rock in the
Southern League. He will be. called In

Brottem likes Mitchell's baseball ma
chine. "Young Charley Hollocher, of
Portland, is a wonder," he said. Every
body in Chicago says he is the best
shortstop who ever came to the majors.

Fastest Heat.
The returns for the first grand cir

best average stable of his career.
During the week he started 14 horses
and won with Miss Harris M, in 2:0214

TROCT ARE DODGING SPOONS
Hot Weather Makes Coast Streams
Valueless for Fishing.
The Coast streams are now practi
cally valueless, as far as trout fishing
is concerned, due mostly to the hot
weather. There are great quantities of
chinook salmon at the bar of the Nes-
tucca River, but net fishermen are al
ready preparing for the opening of the
net season next Monday night.
For some uncertain reason the sal
mon at Nestucca will not strike j
spoon and it looks as if the fishermen
are going to get all the "gravy." In
another week or two there ought to be
good fishing on the Nestucca, provid
ing it rains, for after a shower the
fish flock up to the surface by the
thousands.

BUILDERS MAY-NOT
PLAY ADDED GAME
Standifer Company's Plan to
Work Saturday Afternoons
Is Hitch in Programme.
DECISION NOT MADE YET
Rule Barring Players From Leagues
Rating Higher Than Class B
May Be Rescinded to
Strengthen Teams.
The prospect of an added ball rama
each week in the Columbia-Willamette
Shipbuilders' League, to be played on
Saturday afternoons, received a set
back yesterday, when President Fred
N. Bay, of the shipbuilders' circuit, got
a long-distance can from Vancouver,
Wash., to the effect that there was
possibility of the Standifer Construc
tion corporation chopping off the Sat
urday half-holiday, which, if it should,
would slightly upset the dope.
The Standifer team, managed by Ed
die Peterson, is one of the fastest in
the league, and is a great drawing card
all over the circuit. Standifer is tied
with Corofoot for second position, and
s going strong, if they were unable
to play Saturdays the plan would have
to be done away with altogether, or
arrangements made for a twilight
game. It has not yet been decided at
the Standifer plant as to whether the
shipbuilders will do awav with the
Saturday half-holiday for the Summer,
and plans of Prexy Bay and the man
agers of the teams in the league may
'et go through intact. All of the
managers ane in favor of the added
game now and they will know within
a day or so if everything is O. K. for
tne baturaay game. ,
Bars May Be Let Don.
Another important Question is belnr
thoroughly gone over bv the officials
and directors of the Columbia-Willam
ette League and that is as to whether
they will let the bars down to players
wno have been or are plavintr in
leagues of over class B rating. A rule
as passed over a month ago at a
meeting that after July 7 players from
leagues of over class B rating would
bo uarrea irom tne shipbuilders teams.
Since July 7 a number of Coast
Leaguers have signified their willing
ness to come to Portland and Join
some of the teams, but they have had
to Da tunned down by the managers
because of tbe ruling. The reason for
passing the rule was to prevent some
of the more powerful teams adding
star players to their roster the last
part of the pennant drive and snow
ing the weaker teams under. If ar
rangements could be made to have the
weaker teams in the league strength
ened as well as the leaders the rule
might be rescinded and the bars let
down to "big league" players. At
present there are several well-known
balltossers who are ready to Junto to
Portland at the beck of the managers
and their presence would speed up the
play of the teams.
Daabert Left la I.nrrh.
Jake Paubert. former Buckaroo
shortstop, is one of the classy players
In a lurch. Daubert recently decided
to cast his lot with Salt Lake, and Is
now suffering the consequences. If
the bars are let down it Is a possibllity
inat ne win sign with either the Corn
foot or Foundation teams.
