It looks very much as if St. Helens is going to retain its lead for two weeks at least, for not until August 11, will it have to face real competi tion. On that Sunday McCormick will clash with Standlfer for the second time during the second half of the sea son. Of course the new change in the schedule which will have to be made on account of having dropped Supple-Bal- lin and Columbia River may put this game ahead a. week or so, or it may be put off for two or three weeks. What ever is done this contest Is one that will be the most talked-of affair for the next few weeks. Foundation Is playing better ball than at the beginnig of tne present half and should it keep up its present gait St. Helens will find another tough nut to crack. Grant Smith-Porter, the team that made such a wonderful show ing in the first half of the season one that has drawn the largest crowds and almost won the championship of the first half of the league season is now a poor last, Columbia River having dropped out. " The peculiar thing in the Shlpbuild ers' League seems to be the poor show. ins of Grant Smith-Porter as far as the percentage goes. Wayne Barham has been pitching ralr ball while his teammates have been pounding the pill to all corners of the lot. Securing Bill Fisher, former Buckaroo manager, has added considerable strength to the hitting and fielding department; still, St. Johns is last. It manages to put up a good game for the first six Inn Ings but has been blowing up like i balloon in the last few frames. Should It overcome this weakness Smith-Porter will undoubtedly climb the percentage column. TIGERS BLANKED TWICE BUSH OUTPITCHES JAMES IN TEN I.MXO CONTEST.

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.

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. M. G.
