HARD 'WORK WINS'
FANCY DIVING TITLE
Constant Practice Is Large
Factor in Success of Miss
Thelma Payne.
ACK CODY GIVEN CREDIT
Two Soldiers at Vancouver "With
Good Amateur Records Perform
Up to Reputation in Water
Competition at M. A. A. C.
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
The winning of the women's national
fancy diving championship by Thelma
Payne, of the Multnomah Club, last Sat
urday night, in the national title meet
held in the Wlnged-M tank occasioned
no great surprise to those who have
loseiy followed the doings of the fair
mermaids of the cardinal and white
institution.
For the last two years the title of
queen of women divers has rested in
lie Northwest. In 117 Constance
Meyers won the honors by default
when Miss Aileen Allen, of the Los
Angeles Club, failed to put in an ap
pearance at the national meet which
was held in this city. Mrs. Meyer was
defeated by Miss Allen in Los Angeles
In the 1916 title meet, but protested on
the grounds that Miss Allen was a
professional. The Multnomah Club
star's contention was never sustained
by the Amateur Athletio Union and
Miss Allen retained her title.
Portland was awarded the 1917 meet
and Miss Allen was invited to partici
pate but failed to 'come north, and Con
stance Meyer won the title from a field
of six entrants, Misa Payne being
second.
Since the 1917 meet - Thelma Payne
has been practicing continually with
tpe one big idea of taking Constance
Meyers crown in the 1918 nation
al competition which was originally
awarded the Los Angeles Athletic Club
but which organization was unable to
stage the meet, and asked the Multno
mah Club to handle the diving competl
lion on account of most of the entrants
being from the Winged-M club.
Swimming Instructor Jack Cody, to
whom the local mermaids in a large
measure owe their success, has been
working hard tutoring the local fancy
divers in the fine points of the aquatic
sport and by strict attention to his in
structions and sacrificing every min
ute of spare time to practice the many
difficult dives. Miss Payne has rapidly
risen to the rank of foremost woman
fancy diver in the United States.
In Saturday night's national meet
she displayed wonderful form and ex
ecuted her most difficult dives with
great precision. The most difficult
dives were Miss Payne's big point get
ters. She performed nobly and the unan
imouii decision of the three judges
In declaring her the champion was a
popular verdict.
The taking of second place by Helen
Hicks was the surprise of the night.
Miss Hicks, had the championship been
awarded on applause, would easily have
been returned victor. She waded into
the good graces of the big crowd by
her neat execution of her dives, but
they were not of the difficult sort
which are known as high point getters.
She showed wonderful improvement and
rext year may prove a strong contender
for the national title.
Constance Meyer, who has helped
bring fame to -the Multnomah Club by
her past performances in diving corape
tion. is not daunted by her losing the
championship to Miss Payne, and wlln
be right on the Job at the 1919 meet
providing nothing unforeseen occurs in
the interim. Mrs. Meyer has no ex
cuses to offer and took her defeat
good-naturedly.
The Pembroke sisters Irene and Vir
ginia are to be congratulated on their
attempts to master the fine art of the
fancy diving game and have performed
at every meet and exhibition staged by
the club and on each occasion have
shown marked improvement.
Walter Mills. Pacific Coast Junior
diving champion, took part In the men's
fancy diving exhibition Saturday night
and- gave the crowd a few thrills by
his wonderful work. Mills is entered
in the P. A. A. springboard diving
championship for men at Idora Park,
Oakland, Cal., August 4.
Buckland, the elongated soldier swim
mer from Vancouver Barracks, who
finished third in the 200-yard swim, is
the Intercollegiate backstroke cham
pion of the Paclfio Coast and repre
sented Stanford University in all the
1917 and 1918 swimming meets. He is
stationed at Vancouver with the 457th
Squadron of the Spruce Production Di
vision. Eddie Hart, the diminutive soldier
who won the 60-yard dash at the Mult
nomah Club meet Saturday night, was
formerly a member of the Olympic
Club swimming team at San Francisco
and has shown a clear pair of heels to
all competitors in the few races he has
participated in since being stationed
at Vancouver.

U. S. TITLE OBJECT
Kumagae, Japanese Tennis
Expert, Seeks Matches."
EASTERN INVASION IS PLAN
Murray Only Ranking Player Avail'
able, as Other Top Xotchers Are
in Service Second-string:
Men Still Numerous.
Ichlya Kumagae, the famous Japan
ese tennis player, will make another
effort to win the National lawn tennis
championship this year, with better
chances than on his last attempt in
1918. Kumagae recently arrived in Se
attle from the Orient and is scheduled
to reach New York today. He has
been transferred from the Tokio to the
New York offices of the Mitsubishi
banking firm, and will have ample time
after his arrival In New York to get
into condition. His friends say that he
has kept up his tennis since he left
the United States in 1916.
Kumagae made a sensation In the
tournaments of 1916, winning the New
York State. Newport and Central
States championships, and during the
year he beat William M. Johnston,
Griffin twice, and lost to Church, Mur
ray twice, Washburn, and Armstrong,
among the ranking playevs, and at the
end of the season was ranked fifth by
the committee.
This year the .only ranking player
he can meet is R. Lindley Murray, and
if that brilliant player had his way,
his meeting with Kumagae would be
impossible, too, for he is the only rank
ing player not wearing a service uni
form, and for very good reasons. In
the first place. Murray has a wife and
child, and in the second place, he is
chemical engineer who cannot be
spared from his work, which Is dis
tinctly of war character. He has a cer
tain amount of time for tennis practice
and efforts will be made to Induce him
to get into condition for the champlon-
ShiD.
Of the other ranking players. Rich
ard Norris Williams, William M.
Johnston. Clarence J. Griffin. Watson
fti. wasnourn, ana Dean Mathey are
abroad in the service; George M.
Church is a lieutenant in the aviation
corps at Houston. Texas, and Willis E.
Davis and Joseph J. Armstrong are in
the service with no opportunities for
tennis. To meet Kumagae, besides the
possibility of Murray, there are players
of second rank, and the youngsters
who have been cutting such a wide
swath in tournaments this season.
