the team in a huff.
Brenton is a peculiar fellow. "When
he pitched for Portland a few seasons

Mile. Lenglen's sudd-en capitulation
to a renewal of her attack of bron
chitis and the powerful and aggres
eive play of Mrs. Mallory left a gal
lery of some 8000 spectators stunned
into absolute silence.
The girl from Paris was undoubt

jority of the spectators to the Forest

followers of tennis the world over
have been enthralled by news of the
play of the French woman.

at the time as $10,000 cash. But
Brenton never had any luck at all in
the big league He was returned to
Seattle a few weeks ago in the deal
that sent Bob Geary to Cincinnati.
His experience up above and the
talk about the big' price paid for him
must have given Brenton an exalted
opinion of himself, for he has been
yelling about his salary ever since he
returned. According to the Seattle
management, Brenton demanded 1300
a month more than he received, and
this the club declined to pay. So
Brenton ran out on the boys a week
ago and got suspended for hris pains.
His absence had considerable to do
with at least two of the games Seattle
dropped to Salt Lake.
The Suds at this writing are in
third place, only a game and a half
behind Sacramemto, which climbed
from fourth to second last week,
thanks to the help of seven out of
eight games with the Beavers. The
Suds are seven full games behind San
Francisco.
Their present road trip, the last of
the season for them, will last four
weeks and will be a tough test of

Terrific Battle Expected.
Today she fell from the pedestal
of her particular game In a far more
dramatic and decisive manner, per
haps than did Carpentier on July 2.
Notwithstanding the known lack
of practice due to her arrival in this
country as late as last Saturday,
Suzanne was generally expected to
give Mrs. Mallory a terrific battle,
with the odds in favor of victory, due
to her tournament record at Wimble
don earlier in the summer.
A great round of hand-clapping
greeted her appearance in company
with Mrs. Mallory when the pair came
on to the turf a few minutes before
E o'clock. Few minutes were wasted
in practice and shortly the match
was under way.
Cough la Noticed
Mrs. Mallory won. the first two
games at point scores of four and
two in a most convincing fashion.
She stroked the ball from deep court
with a brawny arm that sent the
white sphere down the sidelines or
bounding high from her opponent's
court. Mile. Lenglen appeared to
open her play in a slow and hesitat

upon by those who had been fortunate

Hand Shaken Perfunctorily.
The French woman opened the sec

out after a short rally and then

or six weeks ago. The Tigers have
come suddenly to life, as they showed,
by taking five out of seven from San
Frajicsisco a couple of weeks ago.
xne third week of their trio the
suos piay the Seals at San Francisco.
That, indeed, will be the final test for
them. If they can't beat the Seals,
then they have no chance at all for
the flag, for only two clubs this year
have won a series from San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles did it twice, but
couldn't repeat last week. Vernon
did it once.
The fourth week of their trir will
give the Rainiers some easy picking,
for they play the Beavers that week
in Portland, As if that wern't enough
of a good thing, they repeat against
tire same club the following week on
their own home lot. We'll bet a hat

either.
Looks as if Gavvy Cravath will lose
his managerial head next season at
Salt Lake if there Is any Salt Lake
club. And there will not be one if
the Coast league can find another
town that will buy the franchise.
Cravath hasn't made a shining suc
cess as manager. No manager of a
losing team can be a shining success,
but the only thing that has kept the
Saints out of the cellar has been the
impossibility of falling as low as the
Beavers. The fact that his club has
been behind all the way isn't entirely
Cravath's fault, for his entire infield
was sold to the Chicago White Sox
before he ever joined the team, and
afterwards the Sox had nobody to
send out to replace Sheely, Johnson
and Mulligan.
But a losing manager is always the
goat, so in all probability Cravath
will retire at the end of the year. It
looks a good deal as If Duffy Lewis
would succeed him-, although Lewis -is
wild- to buy the Portland franchise.
He can't swing the deal himself, how
ever, and unless he can interest some
financial angel, he will remain at
Salt Lake.
Lord Northcliffe, the British pub-
be won against Pat Fraser, well
known Vancouver, B. C, amateur at
the Shaughnessy Heights Golf club on
his recent visit to Vancouver, experts
there said he would be classed among
the "ten" men in the northwest.
Northcliffe took the match by mak
ing a 15-foot putt on the last green.
He doesn't attempt to get length with
his wooden shots, but concentrates on
the short game. His approaching
iron strokes, mashie shots and putt
ing are said to be worthy of the
strongest devotees of the game.
Relative to the dispute as to which
is the middleweight hampion of the
world, Johnny Wilson or Bryan Dow
ney, and that "long count" by Wil
son's imported referee, listen to what
Ed Bang of the Cleveland isews.
sports writer of long experience, has
n aav about it. Bang was at the
ringside and describes what hap
pened as follows:
"The first time Wilson was floored
it was -on the east side of the ring,
his head striking the floor with great
force and augmenting Downey's
punch. He was lying prone on his
back with his head outside the ropes
and the referee was directly in front
of the timekeeper when be did his
counting. The second and third
times that he hit the canvas he was
in the northeast corner. On the third
knockdown Wilson's manager climbed
up on the outside of the ring and
hurried around to where Johnny, was
huddled in, a heap, and patting him on
the shoulder, begged of him to pull
himself together and get up.
"This in itself was a deliberate
foul - and then and there Downey
should have been declared the win
ner. Jimmy Dunn (Downey's man
ager) made for Killilea (Wilson's
manager) and pushed him away from
the- badly beaten Wilson. As this
was going on, Wilson still out to all
intents and purposes, his knees sag
ging beneath him, was sinking slow
ly to the floor when Downey hit him
a glancing blow on the head. His
knees were not on the floor and
Downey was within his rights in hit
ting him as he was going down again,
but this was the 'out' the referee
took to disqualify Downey and de
clare Wilson the winner on a foul."
Louis Balbach? the diver, takes ex
ception to a recent paragraph in The
Oregonian saying that at the Pacific
coast championships at Coronado tent
city, "a youth named Walter Krissell
created a sensation and genuine sur
prise by defeating- Clarance Pinkston
and Louis Balbach. both of whom
won diving titles at the Olympic
games at Antwerp." And apparently
Balbach has a legitimate kick com
ing, for the item was based on a
misapprehension of the facts.
Says Balbach: "Walter Krissell did
not defeat me, but on the contrary
was defeated by me in the Pacific
coast spring-board championships at
Coronado, August 7. Due to the fact
that I have been representing the
isew York Athletic club, I was de
clared ineligible to enter a Pacific
coast meet and, as a consequence, the
coast title passed to the man who ac
tually received second and whom you
have credited with defeating both
Pinkston and myself,
is correct, however,
that he is a comer."

CLOSED SEASON IS OPPOSED
State Warden Cites Authorty to

SHERIDAN, Or.. Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) A petition instigated here by
E. O. Huddleson and signed by a num
ber of local citizens, urging the state
game commission at Portland to set
aside a closed season for Bob White
quail, will not cause that body to in
corporate the request in the state
game laws, according to a communi
cation received by Huddleson from
A. E. Burghduff, state game warden.
While the latter favors in every way
the conservation of Bob Whites, he
does not believe, as stated in his
letter, that a closed season would be
necessarily effective in increasing
the number of quail.
Ray P. Holland, vice-president of
the American Game and Protective
and Propagation association, in a let
ter to the chairman of the senate
game and fish commission sent the
Minnesota quail bill. The letter reads:
"This association is thoroughly con
vinced that seasons extending for
over two years on Bob White quail
do not produce the results expected."

deputy state game warden, returned
yesterday from Lost Lake, where
with a crew of men he has been re
moving snags and debris from the in

spawning of eastern brook trout.
"We have made an excellent spawn

the main Inlet," says Mr. Hadiey.
"and about a quarter mile each

The bottom of the streams is of san

All Local Stars Who Played In State
Championships Expected
to Participate.
The annual Portland city tennis
championships will be played on the
courts of the Irvington Tennis club.
starting September 3, according to
an announcement made yesterday.
The choice of Irvington as the s'te
for the tournament follows the cus-
om of local tennis officials to have
the state and city title meets played
at different clubs. As the Oregon
tourney was held at Multnomah last
onth Irvington then was granted
the city gathering, which is the next
important tennis event in the state..
ejrforts are being made to have a
committee of juniors take charge of
the tournament, but nothing definite
nas Deen done. The boys and girls
center tournament early in June was
nana lea Dy youngsters of Irvington.
and was run off in great shape. Morei
man , it players competed in that
tourney.
All of the local stars who Dlaved
in the state event will probably enter
the city championship. About the
only difference in the city and state
events is that the outside competl
tion, one of the features of the Ore
gon tourney, is lackine- in the Port
land title event.

TEXT CITY' GETS TITLE MEET
Swlmmln; Events to Be Contested
For on August 2 8.
SAN DIEGO, . Cal., Aug. 16. The
220-yard senior national breast stroke
swim for men and the 100-yard Junior
national dash will be contested for
at Tent City. August 28. according to
announcement by Charles Weldon,
Amateur Athletic union official. The
contests were originally awarded to
Venice but were sent here when that
city gave them up. Mike McDermott,
natituial breast stroke star, is en
tered in the swim.
The Junior national 880-yard dash
for men will be contested for at the
beach Sunday.
Harding May Enter Tovfrney.
WASHINGTON. D. C.r Aug. 16.
President Harding not only accepted
an invitation today to present the
trophy at the Washington corre
spondents' golf tournament here next
week, but indicated that he might
enter as a contestant. He asked that
his Qualifications as an active news-
Daner man be passed on by the
eligibility committee. The tourna
ment is scheduled for August ia.
The annual Portland public play
ground championship will start next
ttionaay. on the Washington park
courts. The tournament will be run
off under the direction of Jacie Neer.
physical director at Washington park,
and F. E. Harrington. These two
men are the. Portland representatives
of the national organization in junior
tennis activity.
r lve different events are on the
tournament programme. There will
be the singles championship for boys
under 15 years of age on March 1
1921; girls of the same age: boys un
der 18 on March 1, 1921; girls of same
age; men in unlimited class.
There will be no limit to the num
ber of entries of any one playground
in any event. This will be a new
procedure, as each park had been re
stricted heretofore.
Four asphalt courts are available at
Washington park for the tournament
and it is hoped to get all matches
played off in one week. At present
every court Is in constant use, youth
ful racquet wielders getting into
shape for next week's events.
Unless advocates of municipal ten
nis start an active campaign to have
the city construct some more courts
in the public playgrounds in the near
future, the congestion that is prevail
ing at the park courts now is likely
to continue for some time.
Day after day the courts at the
various parks are in constant use and
many times there is a group of
racquet wielders waiting to play at
each park. i
.Early this year the department tf
public works, under whose super
vision the parks come, had planned
on erecting 14 new courts. They
were to be divided between the
Washington, Columbia, Mount Tabor
and Sellwood parks. Had this pro
gramme gone through as originally
planned it would have been a great
help to the game locally. However,
agitation over the cost of construc
tion proved a stumbling block and
the plans were held up.
At present the park department has
sufficient funds on hand to take care
of this project and only the word to
go ahead is keeping it from building
the enclosures.
If approval is voiced by the park
department the courts would prob
ably be built this coming winter. This
would help improve the unemploy
ment situation, i

SEATTLE VJANTS PITCHERS
KLEPPER APPEALS TO HERR
MANN" AND McGRAW.
Dilemma Due to Refusal of Bren
ton to Sign Contract Long
ing Eyes on Hod Eller.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) William Klepper, president of
the Seattle ball club. has asked
August Herrmann of Cincinnati and
John McGraw of New York for pitch
ers. hether they are right or left
handed makes no difference, so long
as they can win in the Pacific coast
leagu e.
Klepper's dilemma Is due to the
refusal of Lynn Brenton to sign a
contract because of personal differ
ences with President Herrmann of
the Reds. He has no grievance
against Seattle, so he says, but will
not report until Herrmann guarantees
him the salary received under his
contract with the Cincinnati club.
In order to protect Seattle's in
terest. it being manifest that a minor
league club cannot pay Brenton a
major league salary. Klepper has
notified Secretary Farrell of the na
tional association that he has placed
Brenton on the indefinite suspension
list.
Klepper has learned that Cincin
nati obtained waivers on Hod Eller,
hero of the 1919 campaign of the
Red club, with a view of turning him
over to Indianapolis. The American
association club has not taken li,uer
for some reason, and Klepper and
Kenworthv figure that he would help
the Seattle club in the mild climate
of the Pacific coast. Therefore, he
asked Herrmann to turn Eller over
i Spattle in the Geary trade, in
which the Reds owe Seattle three
ball players.
Also Klepper telegraphed John Mc
Graw asking for the immediate de
livery of a pitcher, stating that it
may mean the pennant for Seattle if
one is delivered this season. The
appeal for immediate delivery of
players owed Seattle shows that the
Seattle clan figures it has a fine
chance to win the coast league pen
nant and will leave no stone unturned
to do so. If Cincinnati and New
York are unable to help the Indians
at this time it is likely that Klepper
will ask Clark Griffiths of the Wash
ington club to use his influence in
sending Pitcher Fisher from Reading
of the International league to Seattle.
