14 TIIE MORNING OltEG ONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 2G, 1918. J. PLUVIUS AGAIN HALTS TENNIS PLAY Matches Are Started on Mult nomah Club Course, but 1 Few Are Finished. WICKERSHAM BEATS NEER Frohman. Is Eliminated by Goss in Two Straight Sets Women Fail . to Finish Tournament Xot to End Until Monday. BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Jupe Pluvlus threw a monkey-wrench Into Walter Goes' and Andy Manger's well-oiled plans yesterday to unload a heavy schedule of matches in the Ore gon state tennis tourney. These two overseers of all that pertains to stag ing the 1918 slate championships were sanguine that the weather man's fore cast fair and warmer was all that was needed to guarantee the racquet wielders a big day of lobs, love, foot faults and well, wins and losses, but they had not reckoned with Aquarius. The first match was scheduled for 11 o'clock on the Multnomah Club courts. Rain set in a few minutes before but the net exponents braved the elements and started play only to seek shelter a few moments later. Two Matches Completed. The showers quit about noon and sub sided long enough to allow Brandt Wickersham to defeat J. Neer, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. Of course, Phil Neer failed to be electrified at the idea of his brother be ing trimmed and administered a defeat to Olin Lewis in two straight sets, 6-4, 8-6. Then came the one big match of the afternoon Walter Goss and Milton "Caramel" Frohman. Far be it from Jupiter Pluvius to put a dent into Milt Frohman's chances of attaining fame on the tennis courts. But Goss spiked Milton's dreams of winning the cham pionship in two straight sets, 6-1 and 6-3. Frohman is at a loss to under stand his being defeated even by a manipulator of the racquet such aa Goss is. 'Twas soft music and green lights for Milt every second of the time he was on the courts with Goss. Frohman must have wished the rest of the day's schedule a world of bad luck, because rain saturated the courts immediately at the conclusion of the Goss-Frohman match, but it failed to deter Irene Campbell and Stella Ford ing from starting their match. Miss Fording won the first set, 6-4, and It was two-all in the second set when a heavy shower drenched both partici pants and they sought shelter in the clubhouse. Slop Brigade Kept Busy. Mayme McDonald, of Seattle, won the first set from Mrs. Cushing, 6-4, and they, too, were forced to retire. A heavy rain invaded the courts un til 3 o'clock, when it temporarily sub sided, and Walter Goss marshalled the mop and broom brigade and they went over the top into the courts and sub marined all the water puddles in sight. Phil Neer, Ted Steffen, S. A. Bingham and the writer proceeded to drain the courts of copious quantities of water. Horace E. Thomas disliked the Idea of being a slacker and did his "bit" by borrowing my mop, for which I was most thankful. Brandt Wickersham and A. B. Mc Alpin were noted as among those pres ent, but "missing in action." When the boys went to work, Wickersham suddenly decided he had a sick friend in the hospital who needed his pres ence more than did the courts. Brandt is a wise bird. Northwest Entrants Disappointed. After two hours spent In swishing the water around the courts and get ting "tootsies" damp, Walter Goss an nounced that the courts would be ready for play in 10 minutes. Then Jupiter Pluvius gummed up the afternoon again by saturating the courts, and the two hours' labor was gone for naught. The tournament will not end until. Monday. This will make it inconven ient for those entered in the state tour ney who contemplated playing in the Pacific Northwest tournament at Ta coma, starting Monday. It may be the Tacoma officials will postpone their tournament until Wednesday. Phil Neer, who is entered in three events here, will have to default his matches unless the Tacoma tourney is regu lated so as to permit of his finishing in the Oregon etate tourney. Weather permitting. all. matches scheduled today will be played on the Irvington courts. In case of unsettled weather conditions the entrants are requested to call up the Irvington Club Xor instructions. Today's schedule: 11 A. M. G. A. Ganahl versus H. S. Gray, J.

California and Nevada Will Be Terri tory Covered by Sacramento Manager. Bill Rodgers, former populan Port land player and of late - manager of the Sacramento ball club of the Pacific Coast League, is to blossom out as a full-fledged' sales manager. The man ager of the Senators, now that base' ball is over in the P. C. L. for the duration of the war at least, has signed, sealed and delivered the little piece of paper that attaches him for a number ol years to the Cleveland Tractor Company in the capacity of general sales manager. Bill did not seek the position, but rather the position sought him. He established quite a reputation for him self as an automobile salesman when he traveled for the Dodge people. His ability was so marked that he hes itated to return to baseball. When baseball was shut down this year he was approached by several au tomobile concerns which made him flattering offers. But the Cleveland outfit outbid the rest and Rodgers af fixed his John Hancock to the con tract. His new job means that he will travel most of the time in Cal ifornia and part of the time in Nevada.

Walter Fovargue, known to almost every golfer on the Pacific Coast and open champion of the Pacific Northwest last year. Is giving up active Interest In the game to become a shipbuilder. Fovargue has made his headquarters at San Francisco since coming to the Coast. He will leave the Bear State metropolis August 1 to accept an im portant position in the wooden ship yards of Aberdeen. Wash. Fovargue's decision is caused not only by the business prospect, but from the conviction that he will thus be do ing his bit" In war work. Fovargue's golfing business in San Francisco will be taken care of by Hal Sampson, for several years professional at Del Monte and himself ineligible for military serv ice on account of physical disability. L. Before coming to the Pacific Coast several years ago Fovargue was one of the best-known professionals in the Middle West and for ten years had been In charge of the Skokie Golf Club, near Chicago. He has been In the game for 20 years, having first taken to It as a youngster on account of poor health, which rendered outdoor life advisable. Early he developed into one of the best players In the country and was selected as one of the professional team to visit Great Britain five years ago. Fovargue visited Portland last year and played over the Waverley Club course. He came unheralded and left the same way. He made a 73 on the Waverley course. - FINE BOUT PROMISED McAllister and King on Edge for Ten-Round Match. BIG ATTENDANCE EXPECTED Winner Will Be Undisputed Middle- weight Champion of Northwest and There Is Little ' to Choose Between Them. Bob McAllister, middleweight boxer. who is billed to fight Mick King for the middleweight championship of the Pacific Coast in Seattle tomorrow night, as the grand finale to the Seat tle Girls' Victory Carnival, left Port land last night for the Puget Sound metropolis. The former Olympic Club champion boxer has been putting in eight hours each day at the Foundation Shipyard plant and In the evenings has been doing gymnasium and road work in preparation for his fight with King. McAllister has never boxed better or shown more real pep in his workouts than at present. The big Olympian finds It hard to secure capable sparring partners. A big lad named Anderson who showed wonderful prospects for developing into a heavyweight boxer and who was warming up to his gymnasium work outs with McAllister was killed by a falling timber at the shipyards last week. McAllister is taking on all the little fellows and is as fast as chain lighting. Bis; Crowd Probable. The bout between King and Mc Allister will be held on the naval training station grounds on the Uni versity of Washington campus. Seats have been selling for a week and rcnge in price from $1 to $5. King is said to be in his usual ex cellent condition and the Australian will find McAllister at his best when they enter the ring Saturday night. Mc Allister was originally carded to meet the winner of the King-Farmer bout, but when Farmer was prevented by sickness from entering the ring with King the Seattle promoters promptly secured McAllister. King and McAllister are regarded as being among the topnotch middle- weights of the country. Jimmy Uarcy, a local boy, is another contender for the honors. Marty Farrell, of New York who has been in the Northwest for some months, also lays claim to any honors that might be distributed in the middleweight division. McAllister la Confident. McAllister Is bent on taking King down the line for the decision. If he can retire th- lanky and clever boxer from Kangarooland via the "kayo" route he will have the big show all to himself, but McAllister, a- well as his supporters, realize this to be a huge task and something that no other boxer In the country has been able to get away with. King has wended his way into the good graces of Seattle fight fans, who think him unbeatable. He has taken most of his opponents into camp via the decision route. In McAllister King is meeting one of the cleverest big men in the country, bar none. The fight fans of Seattle are in for a real fistic treat Saturday night when these two big fellews climb through the ropes for their ten-round clash. MAIN EVENT HOLDS INTEREST Crowd Expected to Watch McAllister Tomorrow Night. SEATTLE, Wash., July 25. (Special.) The greatest crowd that has ever seen a boxing contest in the Northwest is expected to be on hand when Mickey King boxes 10 rounds with Bob McAllis ter In the feature event of the big Vic tory Carnival Saturday night. Already tickets have been sold to more people than have attended a boxing show here in the history of the game. The sports programme for the big carnival Is chock full of Interesting features, but the fans are laying back and waiting for one big event the 10- round bout. Down in a Portland shipyard the for mer middleweight sensation is harden ing his muscles and putting the finish ing touches on his training for th long-distance go. Here in Seattle the clever Australian is winding up a stren uous two weeks' session of work. And all over the Northwest boxing fans are holding their breath and waiting for the start of the big scrap-. When McAllister steps into the ring against King Saturday one of the cleverest boxers in the land will make his first appearance here. From a box ing standpoint, the mill ought to be a good one. McAllister Is a tall, rangy boxer, who is both clever and a hard hitter. He uses a short punch to good advantage, as does King. Both men are aggres sive, and the 10-round go ought to be a lively affair all the way. Reports from Portland say that Mc Allister will arrive in Seattle Friday morning. He will finish his training down south today and take the train for this city, where he will rest until the big go scheduled for Saturday even ing.

Report From South la That Pro mot era Are "Stand-Off Uh." Declaring Marty la Unreliable. SAN FRANCISCO, July 25. (Special.) "Marty" Farrell has sent word through a friend, William Bernstein that he would like to fight Spud Murphy or Battling Ortega or some body else' In San Francisco. Also, adds Marty, he Is willing to start any time the transportation is shipped north to him. But in these days of high-priced transportation the matchmakers are not doing much in the way of furnish ing tickets for fighters. Also they realize that In Portland the fight game Is somewhat at a standstill and the chances are if Farrell wants to scrap in this vicinity he must dig up the price of a ticket or hoof it from the Northwest. The great trouble with Farrell has been his unreliability. Not more than three weeks ago Tommy Simpson, of Emeryville, wanted Farrell for an Ortega match. He spent a lot of coin sending dispatches to Portland but never got a peep out of Marty. Other promoters have experienced the same difficulty. When Marty is really wanted, he either Isn't around or he haggles over the terms. All of which will make the matchmakers "stand offish" now that Marty has experi enced a desire to come back to Call fornia. DECISION IS DELAYED SECRETARY BAKER IS TOO BUSY ON OTHER MATTERS. No Indication Available When Iro nouneenient Affecting Baseball Playera Will Be Made. WASHINGTON, July 25. Pressure of other matters, it was said tonight, has prevented Secretary of War Baker from formulating his decision as to the ex tension of the effective time of apply Ing the work-or-f lght regulations to professional baseball players. No lndl cation of when the decision will be an nounced was available tonight. The report of Provost Marshal-Gen eral Crowder on the question and the brief submitted yesterday by represen tatives of the baseball industry were understood to have been considered by Secretary Baker during the day. Both at the War Department and among baseball men here there was a feeling that the recent order applying the work-or-f lght regulations to baseball players would be revised, but to what extent was not shown. , Aen of America: At no time could a man better afford to insist upon getting the genuine PARIS GARTER than today.

Duke Kahanamoku. the famous Ha waiian swimmer and Olympic cham pion, who recently swam In Portland, will swim In New York the first week In August under the auspices of the American Red Cross at the Winter Pool. Brighton Beach. The Duke, along with Harold "Stubby" Kruger, champion backstroke swimmer of the world, and Clarence Lane, will swim against the strongest competition that can be of fered them in the metropolitan district. Kahanamoku and his party made a great showing In Portland and set up several new world's records out at Wlndemuth Baths. Of course Duke did not get any competition here, but he made the time Just the same. Owen Merrick, former Portland newspaper man. is managing the tour of Kahana moku. Kruger and Lane.

Several weeks ago In Chicago the Duke agreed to race Perry McGil llvary. the American speed champion. In a 100 and 220-yard race. McGillivary beat Duke Kahanamoku In the 200 yard dash, his pet distance, and fhen failed to show up to splash with the Duke in the 100-yard race, which is the Cuke's best pace. The Duke's New York engagement is the greatest of his country-wide tour. It has been several years since Ka hanamoku has visited America's largest city and his appearance at the Brighton Beach salt water tank will be certain to' stimulate interest In competitive swimming, which has been on the wane In New York. aval laatrnetor May Be Opponent.

"Stubby" Kruger, who swam the 100 meter backstroke in 1:17 1-5 in Chicago last week, lowering Harry Hebner's mark of 1:20 3-5, has offered to com pete against any New York natator with a record not faster than 1:10. free-style swimming.

John Zimloch. of the New York Athletic Club, Is one of the men already chosen to meet the Hawallans.

A great cham pionship will be at stake and that means something different from the war fund benefits of a year ago. Every official of the National Tennis Asso ciation is on the alert for competitors of the top flight as they perform in the tournaments that lead up to the battles for the American honors. Some years ago It was plainly dem onstrated that without the spicing of some spectacular and sensational play ers probably from the Pacific Coast. Interest In the competitions at New port. Forest Hills or wherever the Na tional tournament was held was likely to be more spasmodic than concen trated. The time appears to have passed In lawn tennis when a limited number of players of the East, no matter how good they may be, can really excite the followers of the game because a Na tional title is at stake. Names appear to be empty things without the reality of combatants from the various sec tions of the country. Unfortunately the lawn tennis following has become finicky about the sort of matches it goes to witness. Mauric E. MrLoughlin, R. Norris Williams II. William M.
