14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1920 CLUBS DEADLOCKED FOR LEADING PLAGE Ysrnon Climbs Steadily Up ward in Race. TIGERS' PITCHERS BEST Beavers Facing Oakland Series Weakened by Two Catchers on Casualty 1.1st. BY ROSCOK FAWCETT. While Bryan and his accomplices re trampling the bar towel under foot at San Francisco the Pacific Coast league ball fans are turning their drought-spangled eyes toward the 1920 coast league percentage column. Aforesaid column this morn ing shows a deadlock between the Salt Lake club and the Vernons for the leadership of the league. Slowly but Inexorably the Vernon champions of last year have been climbing toward the top rung. San Francisco held tenaciously to the premiership for several weeks but the Bees started Grahams crew downward three weeks ago by drub bing them five times in seven games and the Seals have not been able to recover. In the last 20 games the erstwhile leaders have won only six. . Seals ,ln Fourth Position. The Seals now are in fourth posi tion and may slip even further if the Portland club is able to land a good rece'ver to fill in while Koehler and Baker are out. Vernon has done the most consis tent work during the past month and reallv looks like a better ball club than Salt Lake. Salt Lake leads the league in team batting, with an average of .300. Verncn ranks second with .2S0 or thereabouts. San Fran cisco and Portland following close behind. Vernon tops the league in club" fielding, however, with Sacra mento. Portland and the Angels showing- stronger in the figures than the Salt Lake Bees. It is admitted by all the baseball Fliarps that the Tigers have the best pitching corps in the circuit, with the Angels not far to the rear. Los An geles gave Salt Lake a terrible drubbing two weeks ago when these teams met in the Utah metropolis, winning four of the six games by large scores. Unless Ernie Johnson is a miracle man the Bees are going to find it rather difficult to retain the league leadership with the present Bee corps of chuckcrs. Both Playing Consistently. Vernon and Los Angeles both have played consistently during the past few weeks. Vernon has triumphed over Seattle, Portland and the Seals during June, taking five in seven from Seattle; four in seven from Portland and six in seven from San Francisco. Portland made the best showing of the three. This record of 15 wins and six defeats is closely seconded by the Angels. Wade Kille fer's crew begun the merry month by winning five in seven from Sacra mento; won four out of six from the Bees, and last week defeated the Oaks four games in seven. Salt Lake came back last series by winning the odd game at Sacra mento. This week's schedule shows the following lineup; Oakland in Portland. Vernon in Seattle. Salt Lake in San Francisco. Sacramento at Los Angeles. With Catchers Baker and Koehler of the Beavers on the casualty list, the Portland club will be consider ably weakened for the series with Oakland commencing this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Southpaw Ross probably will be Manager McCredie's pitching choice for this afternoon. Baseball Summary. National Lengue Standings. V. L. IMM w. L. P C. Cincinnati.

Rain, however, which set in soon after the craft began her workout, brought the trip to an abrupt end. ATHLETICS TAKE HUME STREAK OF 18 LOSSES ENDS AT WASHINGTON.

His last appear ance in northwest golf occurred in 11-15. tvheh he defeated Paul Ford of Seattle in the finals at Tacoma. C. H. Davis Jr.. cap'ain of the Waverley teams, enticed the former national champion out of his retirement this summer and his arrival in Portland yesterday was timed so as to give him a few days of practice before the tournament. In the forenoon yesterday he played a round with Ellis J. Bragg, and in the afternoon with Dr. O. F. Willing, J. R. Straight and Ellis Bragg. Mr. Egan Is house guest of Wirt Minor, vice-president of the Waverley club.

The dedicatory exercises will take place July 3. at 1 o'clock. In razing the old pole and erecting the new one the committee in charge faced many nroblems and vicissitudes. Various methods of felling the obso lete pole were discussed by the com mittee. Ned Ayer finally volunteered to attend to that feature of the pro gramme. And his method proved quite novel. Backing his Oldsmobile against the foot of th pole Mr. Ayer "stepped on "er" and the big pole slowly tot tered over and came to earth without even so much as marring the green sward. L. H. Hoffman had charge of erecting the new pole. Crane Gartz, -ne of the best known Los Angeles amateurs, has begun tour of the golf courses of the, world.

DIVER'S AMATEUR ':, STATUS PROTESTED Position of Aileen Allen Again in Question. Is OLYMPIC MEET INVOLVED Infraction of Strict Rule as Professionalism Means Whole Team Thrown Out. lo BY RUTH STACKER. (World's Swimming Champion.) The amateur status of Aileen Allen, southern California's diving cham pion and at one time holder of the national title, is before the Amateur Athlectlc Union board again. Com plaints against Mrs. Allen's status are nertndical. and have been for three years. She has worked on the Pantages circuit and It has been learned that at present she Is em ployed as a fancy diver in -the Uni versal City moving picture studios at southern California. The latest protest was filed by Frank E. Watkins, chairman of the Multnomah club swimming commit tee, with T. M. Dunne, of the Pacific Northwest association and chairman of the Olympic games committee. Mr. Dunne filed the protest with Fred erick Rubien, secretary of the Ama teur Athletic Union, in New York. In that Mrs. Allen won the high diving over Mrs. Constance Dressier and will be picked by Los Angeles to represent the southern association at the Olympic games, it is important that her amateur standing be thor oughly Investigated, before she leaves for Europe. The Olympic games com mittee have the most stringent rules regarding amateurs and their stand ing as such, and should any competi tor of any sport be proved profession al according to their rules, the whole team of that sport will be thrown out. Should Mrs. Allen be proved professional it will throw the whole American water sport contingent out of competition. Constance Dressier. Thelma Payne nd Happy Keuhn, all of the Portland association, will journey east to the final Olympic games tryouts in New York In July. Due to the fact that the far western championships and the Olympic games tryouts were held at the same time, there has been much questioning and some misunderstand ing. Dorothy Becker of San Francisco, who defeated Miss Payne in the fancy diving, was competing in the far western competition. Miss Becker did not try out in the Olympic dives, al though she is well versed in the Bel gian rules. In all probability the Portland en tries will have no trouble making the final Olympiad team. m m m Both Duke Kahanamoku and Ludy Langer. world's champs and members of the Hawaiian aggregation, headed by Dad Center, have joined the come backs. Neither of the boys did any competing last year and were dubbed 'has beens. Kahanamoka repre sented America in water sports at the last Olympiad .n 1912 at Stockholm, and is 33 years old. Langer, who has held distance records for some four years, is a civil engineer and nearing the 30 mark. Both swimmers will place on the Olympic team. The Pacific northwest amateur championships, to be held at Van couver, B. C, sometime in August, will see a crew of eight swimmers and divers from the Multnomah club. Miss Mille Schloth, swimming di rector of the public schools, leaves on July 1 for Gearhart, where she will take charge of the natatorium for the summer.' She will take with her Bertha Grover, her protege, who is an up-and-coming aquatic artist. Alice Lidgate, former instructor at Y. W. C. A., will have charge of the schools for the summer. Norman Ross, formerly of Portland will probably meet his old friends In the Olympic tryout in New York in July. Norman's keenest competitor over the distances has been Ludy Langer, who has not been in the game for a little over a year. The outcome of their final competition over the 400-meter course will be of interest to the sporting world. It Is possible that Perry McGillvray of the Illinois Athletic club will be Kahanamoku's Waterloo. McGillvray has outdis tanced the Hawaiian . In the furlong event on two occasions. Teddy Cann of the New York association, will also afford competition for the Hawaiian. HARVARD ENTRY IS POSSIBLE Crew Champions Likely to Try for , Olympic Honors. BOSTON, June 28. The Harvard varsity eight-oared crew, which de feated . Yale at New London Friday, may - be reassembled and entered for the honor of representing the United States at the Olympic regatta, it was learned today. ' The proposal that they row again for national championship honors and Olympic selection at the title regatta at Worcester July 23 and 24 has been madjB to the crimson oarsmen, and they -will decide In a week whether they shall go into training again. The Crimson oarsmen will not row as a Harvard crew, but will carry the I colors gi enner me xewen vr boat clubs. Harvard organizations, or I the Union Boat club. TILDEN TENNIS FAVORITE . S. DUO WIN WAY INTO SEMI FINALS OF BRITISH PLAY. Williams Put Out Of Running and Shmldzu Continues WIMBLEDON. Enc. June 28. The British lawn tennis singles cham-Jwith pionship has narrowed down to four men and of these two are Ameri cans. William T. Tilden of Philadel phia and Charles' S. Garland of Pitts burg. These two American players won their matches handily, while R. Nor- ris Williams II was put out of the playing by Theodore Mavrogordato, member of the English team for the Davis cup. Mavrogordato beat- Wil liams 6-3,' 4-6. 9-7. 7-5. Tilden won today from Randolph Lycett of Australia in the best con test of the day. although he did not have to extend himself to the degree that was necessary when he de feated Klngscote on Saturday. Ly- ett played a remarkably fast game nd won the second set; then Tilden called upon some of his reserve strength and won out with something spare. The score was 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5. Garland, whose work throughout as been steady, with flashes of bru- ancy, defeated the young South Af rican player. C. R. Blackbeard, after he latter had got the start on him the Ikast set at 6-4. Garland took he remaining three 6-1, 6-3, 6-1. The Japanese expert, Zense Shim- idzu, won his way into the semi- kfinals with an easy victory over the English player Willord. 6-0. 6-1, 6-2. Tilden will meet Garland in the emi-finals tomorrow and Shimidzu will have Mavrogordato as his oppo- ent. On past performances Tilden and Shimidzu are favored to meet in the tnals, and popular opinion is picking Tilden as the challenger of Gerald Patterson of Australia, who holds the championship and who is playing remarkably good game- In the doubles Johnston and Tilden were much superior to the South Af ricans. Raymond and Winslow. who declared they were the best they had ver seen, let alone having opp4sed. i ne Americans won tnis match b-: 6-4. 6-2. The South Africans were especially keen about Tilden s playing, which they considered the brainiest mlxed- up game they could imagine. They are returning home to urge by all means in their power a tour of South Africa by the Americans. Johnston and Tilden will probably meet Garland and Williams in the semi-final round.

DATE SET FOR JULY 9 Bill Brennan on Coast and Likely to Appear Locally While Far ren Gets Boomed. BY DICK SHARP. Matchmaker Frank Kendall of the Milwaukee boxing commission an nounced yesterday that he has signed Mike O'Dowd. the St. Paul, middle weight championship claimant, to meet the best boxer available in the main nvpnt nt (,. x i l ir ( a . - .-,1 July 9. Everv effort is still betna- nZ?.ZZlVf."v?es5'l" Ivnnianu I U lilt 1. 1 1'U V. U, UUfc as yet no word has been received from is manager, uommy jsimpson. it seems that Tommy did not like It a bit that O'Dowd was credited a wide shade over hia boy and he made the remark before he left that he was off of Portland for life. However it might be said that the Battler and Tommy should consider themselves two very lucky individuals as that draw decision and the big glove incident were two gifts that Ortega will not receive very often. Also Tommy carted back a nice wad of Oregon money, which of course is nothing in his young life. i O'Dowd's List Open. O'Dowd agreed to box again for the Milwaukie commission without much parley- and particularly wanted Matchmaker Kendall to get Battling Ortega again, although he will meet any other man in the world at 15S pounds if the Oakland boxer decides to retire with a draw to his credit. Mike's next bout will be in l'oca tello, Idaho, next Monday, when he will meet Gordon McKay. McKay is a fair sort of a boy and has been go ing exceptionally good of late. So well, in fact, that the Idaho fans are picking him to give O'Dowd a tovrgh battle. The remainder of the July 9 Mil waukie card is in the making and will be announced as soon as the op ponent for O'Dowd is set. K. O. Bill Brennan, the hard-hit ting Chicago heavyweight, who has been bowling over his opponents with regularity of late, is slated to box in San Francisco within the next few weeks and may also appear here be fore returning east. Brennan has fought all of the good men in the game and recently handed Willie Meehan.the worst lacing of his career in an eight-round bout in Philadel phia. Anderson Hlta Roogs Gang His most recent victory, was an eight-round knockout scored over Ole Anderson in Cleveland Monday- night. The road is getting sort of rough for the Tacoma heavyweight who invaded the big time, and he i getting bumped off every once in a while. Martin Burke put Anderson away In New Orleans and some other boy made him kiss the mat in New Jersey not many sets of 24 hours ago. m Down in San Francisco they are now booming Frankie Farren as the best lightweight on the Pacific coast as the result of his latest victory over Willie Hunefeld of Los Angeles. If Farren is the best on the coast, Muff Bronson and Puggy Morton rank with the best in the country, as both beat Farren in Portland rings. Mor ton won a call over Frankie several months ago, while ome time ago Bronson handed im an awful lacing.

Men Will Be Stationed at Moscow, Idaho, to Obtain Recruits for Organization. MOSCOW. Idaho. June 28. (Spe cial.) Farmers were too busy to at tend in large numbers the meeting of . the WaslsTngton-Idaho-Oregon Wheat- growers' association, which met here yesterday, and the attendance was much below what was expected. This was due, in part, to the fact that the speakers, A. A. Elmore of Spokane. Wash., president of the Washington Idaho farmers' union; Miss Hester Hosford of Cleveland, O., and W. R, Walrath, president of the United Farmers of Montana, were late in reaching Moscow and many who had visited the hall and learned the meet in? was postponed from 1:30 to 3 o'clock left town before that time. But there were several leading farm ers present and a number of these joined the organization. Mr. Elmore said: "We are going to station a man at Moscow to secure the membership of farmers and have them signed up for the delivery of their wheat to the association. We already have between 4.000,000 and 5.000,000 bushels signed up and will have many million more before har vest begins. The organization is a success and we expect many Latah county farmers to join us soon. The local committeeman, Messrs. Thomp son and Gano, have secured a number of members, but have been too busy to give the work of organizing the time and attention necessary, so we have decided to station a man at Moscow to take it up. He will look after the shipments of farmers' grain to our organization and see that there are no delays." SUGAR OFFICERS IN COURT Defendants In Profiteering Case Make Voluntary Appearance.
