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.

Shamrock IV, which will meet the
Resolute for the America's cup off
Standy Hook next month, was eiven
a short spin today with her full crew
of 40 aboard.
It was decided not to match her
against the 23-meter Shamrock, but
to, take some of the crew from the
trial horse and place them aboard
the challenger in order to determine
how the great green sloop would
handle with her full complement.
Rain, however, which set in soon after
the craft began her workout, brought
the trip to an abrupt end.

Three. Former Champions to
Represent Portland.
CHANDLER EGAN ARRIVES
Waverley Club to Unfurl Flag on
Independence Day on Pole
' Recently Erected.
With the arrival in Portland yester
day of H. Chandler Egan, former na
tional champion, it is assured that at
least three Portland golfers, former
champions of the Pacific northwest,
will be entered in the big sectional
goif championship at Vancouver, B. C
July. 5-10. The three ex-titleholders
are: H. Chandler Egan. Waverley
Country club; S. Russel Smith, Waver
ley Country club, and Rudolph Wil
helm, Portland Golf club.
. Roderick Macleay of Waverley won
the northwest championship back in
1910, but it is not thought he will be
entered this season.
Chandler Egan has been ranching
near Med ford for several years and
has not found much time to compete
in golf tournaments. 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.
Mr. Egan has long been a member
of Waverley . and will represent the
club in both the amateur and the
open and also vill play on the four
man team in he Davis cup competi
tion. The donor of this cup, C. H.
Davis Jr., is captain of the Waverley
team and he announced yesterday that
he would not name the Waverley
quartet until -.he day before the tour
nament. Chandler Egan, Russel Smith
and Forest Watson are almost sure to
be named, wifi the fourth choice lying
between J. R. Straight, A. S. Kerry,
Guy M. Standifer and Ellis Bragg.
J. R. Straight has been contemplating
an automobile trip to California on
J his honeymoon but may change his
mind owing to the condition of the
automobile roads.
Previous winners in the Davis cup
are:
1916 Waverley Country club, at
Spokane.
1917 Portland Golf club, at Waver
ley. 19l!s Seattle Golf club, at Seattle.
1919 Jefferson Park Golf club, at
Spokane.
New officers for the Pacific North
west Golf association will be chosen
at Vancouver next month. The pres
ent officers ar-: President. Clyde M.
Graves, Spokane; vice-president. C. S.
Battle. Vancouver, B. C. ; secretary
treasurer. Jonn H. Dreher, Jefferson
Park Golf club. Seattle.
Hon. C. N. McArthur will be the
speaker at an Independence day pro
gramme at the Waverley Country
club. It is planned to unfurl the flag
on the new pole erected north of the
clubhouse. The new stick towers 135
feet above the ninth green and is said
to be the tallest pole at any golf
course in the west. 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.

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

BOSTON, June 28. The Harvard
varsity eight-oared crew, which de
feated . Yale at New London Friday,
may - be reassembled and entered for

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.

as yet no word has been received from

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

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

months ago, while ome time ago
Bronson handed im an awful lacing.

FARMERS SKIP "MEETING
GROWERS' ASSOCIATION DRAWS
SCANTY ATTENDANCE.
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."
