THE 3HORNTN-G OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JTTLT 18. 1919. Kiraiojois CHICAGO, July IT. William T. Til dennnn Jr., Philadelphia, 131S cham pion; William M. Johnston, San Fran cisco, former champion; Robert G. Kin eeyfl, San Francisco, and "Waiter T. Hayes', Chicago, emerged victors from the sixth round play in the men's singles of the ninth annual claycourt tennis tournament today and will fight it out tomorrow in the finals. v One of the most interesting matches was that of Johnston and T. Harry "Waidner of 'Winnetka, Ills., the latter a veteran now in his 22d year in the sport, who forced the former cham pion to play to his limit. Waidner could not withstand Johnston's crashing fore hand play, though frequently loosing fancy drives that kept his opponent on the run. The score was 6-3, 7-5. Richards lost to Hayes. 6-4, 6-1, and had small opportunity to display his dashing style of play. Hayes kept the back court covered with fine shots and kept the boy on the defense during most of their sets. Tilden had little difficulty disposing of Axel Craven, Berkeley, Cal.. 6-3, 6-3, while the other California star, Kinsey, won easily from Walter K. Westbrook, Detroit, western collegiate champion, 6-3. 6-0. Keen matches were played in the women's sets, with play in the doubles opening today. Summaries: Man's doubles, fourth round Robert G. Kinsey, San Francisco, and Axel Graven, Berkeley, Cal., defeated J. B I Adoue, Jr., and Evmn Rees, Dallas, 6-3. 6-1. Fifth round William T.

GOSS LOSES IN SINSLES VETERAN OP 20 YEARS CTTMBS TO YOUTH. sec Gertrude Schreiner ot Seattle Wins Over Stella Fording McVeagh, and Taylor Cop Doubles. Oregon's 1917 tennis champion met Oregon'a 1918 champion In tle. feature singles match of Wednesday's play in the Oregon state tournament now raging on the clay courts of the Laurelhurst club. The 1917 king, in the person of Catlln Wolfard, defeated the 1918 champion, Walter A. Goss, who has been playing championship tennis for over 20 years. Wolfard won, 9-7, 4-6, 6-4. It was a strenuous affair and Wol fard deserves much credit for pulling a hard match out of the fire. Goss led in the first eet, 5-2, only to lose the eet after a long, hard seesaw, 9-7. The second set brought forth the best ten nis of the match. Goss had demon strated that he could give Wolfard a hard game and Catlin knew that he could not afford to let go his attack even for a moment. The eet went to Goss, 6-4. In the last and deciding set Wolfard waged a remarkable uphill battle. Goss took the first four games, due largely to Wolfard'a errors, for Catlin was serving poorly and made no less than a dozen double faults, and hit the ball many times far out of court. With four games to overcome he started, in with the most consistent and hard hitting tennis Portland has seen in many a day. It was better tennis than Goss could put up with and, while he died hard, he was beaten by a better man. Many Matches Played. Nine matches in the gentlemen's Ingles, four in the ladies' singles, five in the men's doubles, seven in the mixed doubles and one in the ladies' doubles were run off Wednesday. Play was not concluded until 8:05 P. M. Good-sized galleries cheered, the play ers all day. Phil Neer very handily disposed of A. D. Wakeman 6-3, 6-0 and A. D. Nor ris won from Herbert Swett, who is one of the strong players at Reed College, 6-1, 6-8, 6-4. Swett, one of the younger players of the city, gave the older and more experienced man a hard fight. Much interest was shown in the match between Marshall Allen of Seattle and Klmer Griffin, younger brother of the famous "Peck" Griffin. Young Griffin, who hails frora San Franciscoi lost, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Allen, a hard hitter, who was taught to swing his racquet by Sam Russell of Seattle, found that he could not drive the beautiful chop shots served up to him by young Griffin and he had to resort to Griffin's tactics and beat Elmer at his ow l game. Alien was the 1917 Washington state cham pion. A big surprise came out in the ladles' singles when Miss Gertrude Schreiner of Seattle beat Miss Stella Fording of the Irvington club 7-5. 6-4. It was a long-drawn-out and hard-fought match. Miss Schreiner practically let Miss Fording beat herself, although the Irv ington exponent is a masterful player. The Seattle girl served steadily and is expected to give Mrs. W. I. Northup, also of Irvington, a stiff match. McVeagh. and Taylor Win. Rogers McVeagh and "Bill" Taylor, the latter of Seattle, continued their progress in the men's doubles by suc cessfully completing their match against Goss and Neer, which had been railed the day before on account ot darkness. James Shives, who was the tcorekeeper Tuesday night, protested Bgainst further play by moonlight, since, he said, it was so dark he could not see to write on the scorecard. Mc Veagh and Taylor won 7-9, 6-3, 6-4. McVeagh and Taylor also won a very pretty match from Jack Wright and Robert Harper, the Spokane jun iors, S-7. S-6. "Bill" Taylor's serving was a big factor in the success of this team and it is looked upon as one of the tough prospects for the Oregon doubles championship. Harry Gray and T. Green, the latter from Seattle, won from the Tacoma boys. Guy Flye and Charles Grimes, 7-5. 3-6. 6-1, in a very pretty and close match.- Mixed Doubles Good Match. Miss Stella Fording and Kenneth fimtth beat Marshall Allen of Seattle and Miss Mariam Sinclair. 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, in the feature match of the mixed doubles. Smith's drives, many - of which went through Alien, were veil Wolfard and Henry Stevens. This match ought to furnish enough fire works to satisfy the rabid ones. From the present outlook it appears as It Oregon's 1919 championship lies among Catlin Wolfard of Portland and "Bill" Taylor and Marshall Allen of Seattle.

PROMINENT PORTLAND TENNIS PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN TOURNAMENT NOW IN PROGRESS. , I , ! y ZV 'f JjM uf 7 ' Is '4 v a I " - -'-nr'; li . I . NEW YORK, July 17. The retention of the 140-game schedule, announced at the beginning of the season, was decided upon at a meeting of the Na tional league in this city today. Several club owners recently sug gested lengthening the playing season to lo4 games as in past years. Several other subjects of mid-season importance were discussed, and decis ions reached Including a unanimou vote in favor, of the recently revised rules for the division of ths world series proceeds as proposed by the na tional commission. If the American league takes similar action, the division of the players' pool next October will be as follows: Seventy-five per cent of the pool to be divided, 60 per cent to the winners and 40 per cent to the losers, with the remaining 2a per cent ot the pool dl vlded among the players of the second and third teams of the two leagues. A communication from the minor leagues' organization was received and discussed and it was unanimously re solved not to enter into any formal agreement with the minors unless the right of the major leagues to- draw players from the minors was included. Cams Ordered Expunged. At a subsequent meeting of the board of directors of the league it was decided to expunge from the record the second game of July 6 be tween Pittsburg and Cincinnati at Cin cinnati, and the teams were ordered to replay the contest July 27, or in case of postponement July 2b or Aug. ruse SI. Attention was called to this con' test by the New Tork club, which al leged a violation of the league con stitution on the ground that the game was called early in order that Pitta burg might catch a train, when there were later trains which would have carried the team to its next destination after a full nine-Inning contest had been played. Herrmann Enters Protest, CINCINNATI, July 17. August Herr mann, president of ths Cincinnati base ball club, was astounded when Informed today that at a meeting of the board of directors of the National league the second game with Pittsburg on July 8 had been ordered expunged from ths records. "To begin with." said Mr. Herrmann, "the board of directors has nothing to do with the matter. This protest or complaint must be decided solely by tne president of the league, under sec tion 14 of the constitution." FOOD SHORT IN ARMENIA Great Suffering From Hanger Told In ltter From Abroad.

The Vanderlip remarks may or may not form an intimation that the United States must pool its assets with those of Europe. That the United States owns Europe, as it were. Otherwise, as Europe has no assets beyond those which represent its debts, Europe owns the United States. In brief, the United States may have acquired Europe quietly. In his views of European 1813 1920 food needs, Vanderlip is out of step. We can however accord with his fear of the long years that 40 per cent of Europe requires to start up In the real industrial procession. The other 60 per cent will revive quickly. Vanderlip's remarks when digested, simmer down to the necessity of allow ing Europe many billions of credit. The 9IHS. I. W, AOBTHVP AXD l'UlL KEEK.

OKU MA DEFENDS POLICY Ex-Preraler of Japan Says Chinese Protectorate) Never Intended. TOKIO. Defending his policy toward China during his premiership. Marquis Okuma has made a statement that it was never his intention to try to make a protectorate of China. He declared that ths movement of Yuan Sht-Kal to make himself em peror of China owed much to the In stigation of Germany, and if Yuan's ambition had been attained and he had been proclaimed emperor It was more than probable that China would have been brought under the complete sway of Germany. At that time Japan ten dered advice to President Yuan, and France and Great Britain took the same view as Japan did, endeavoring to check the realisation of Germany's de signs. Referring to the famous 21 demands presented to China while he was pre mier, the marquis held it was wrong to attack the Chinese policy of the Okuma government without making a careful study of Chinese affairs and of the diplomatic history that obliged the conclusion of the treaties that fol lowed.

(Correspondence of the As sociated Press.) The prohibition move ment in the United Elates has been fol lowed In Japan by the launching of a project to step the manufacture of sake. Japan's national alcoholic drink which is distilled from rice. The end of the war has brought no check to the steady Increase in the price of the necessities of life and the soaring cost of rice, which Is the staple food of the Japanese people, is becom ing a grave problem for the govern ment. Last year the high price of rice led to serious riots throughout the em pire. The Japan Temperance society has presented a memorial to Xhe govern ment urging the prohibition of making of sake. The organization points out that about IS. 000, 000 bushels of rice are consumed yearly In Its manufacture. With the population of Japan increas ing at the rate of 00,000 yearly and the national rice crop tailing on ac count of the decrease of rce lands through civic and Industrial expansion, the organisation asserts that the enor mous quantity of rice used in distilling sake might be turned to a better use in distributing it as food for the people. Emperor Yoahihito is said to be deeply concerned over the living con ditions amoag his people. Through his lord chamberlain he recently ordered the governors of the different provinces to investigate the changes in the thought of the masses, the cost of food for the middle and labor classes and the general Industrial situation throughout the empire. The discontent of the masses of the people is seriously occu pying the government, which Is trying to devise means of relieving ths situation. The eugenics record office at Cold Springs harbor.
