PARTY COMPOSED OF TEN ANGELS' RED-TOPPED MANAGER IS CRAFTY AT GETTING HIT Wade Killefer of the Old School That Knew How to Reach First on a Crack in the Ribs, Real or Simulated. (6 H; Several Matches With Middle Wett and Atlantic Coast Golfers to Be Played. Selection of the ten golfers to repre sent the Pacific northwest in the na tional amateur championship at St. Louis, September 17-24. has been made by C. H. Davis Jr. The team will Include H. Chandler Egan, Waverley; George von Elm. Salt lake; Rudolph Wilhelm, Portland; Russell Smith, Waverley; Bon Stein, Lee Steil and Clark Spelrs, Seattle; Biggerstaffe Wilson, Victoria, B. C; Guy M. Standifer, Waverley. and Dr. O. F. Willing. Waverley. Although several local link stars have competed In the national event in past years, this is the first time an organized team has been brought to invade the east. Guy M. Standifer, who prompted the undertaking, is now in the east working out the details of the trip. He will join the team at Chicago. George von Elm. the Salt Lake youth who won the Pacific northwest championship here in June and topped this off by winning the Trans Mississippi title last week, will play with the northwest players. Von Elm is not sure where he will meet the team, but it probably will be at St. Louis. If the young title holder keeps up his pace he will have to be reck oned with in the fight for the na tional honors. Chandler Egan will captain the team. This, will be Egan's first ap pearance in the big classic since 1909, when he was defeated in the finals after eliminating Evans, present champion, in the semi-finals. Egan won the national in 1904 and 1905. Previous to the national qualifying round there will be several team matches between the Pacific north west team and teams selected from the middle west and the Atlantic coast. Chick Evans will choose the middle west players and Francis Ouimet will pick the Atlantic coast men. These matches will be in formal. All members of the team plan to leave Portland about September 5. This will give plenty of time for practice after reaching St. Louis. Entries in the annual Gearhart golf championship are coming in rapidly, according to Owen A. Merrick, who is in charge of the tournament this year. The qualifying round in both the men's and women's championship will be played next Wednesday. As only 16 players qualify in the men's and eight In the women's champion ship the finals will be reached Satur day. Special entertainment has been planned for golfers participating in the tournament. There will be swim ming parties, dancing and other fea tures in the round of social activity for the week. Invitations have been forwarded to every golf club in the Pacific north ' west to enter players in the tourna ment. Portland will have the great est number of players competing, about 50 having signified intention of taking part. Ercel Kay, 1D20 cham pion, will defend his title. This season will bring out several new players in the flight competi tions, even the players taking from 120 to 140 strokes for the 18 holes having a flight. Last year the lower flights brought out as much compe tition as the championship. Prizes for practically every event have been provided. There will be the usual trophies for winners of the qualifying round and the various flights. A Vancouver enthusiast has presented a mystery prize for the player making a two on any hole. Announcement of the California Golf association amateur champion ship has been sent to all clubs in this section. The tournament will be played over two courses, Del Monte and Pebble Beach, September 8-11. The annual Del Monte women's cham pionship will be an added attraction. - v The Tecent rain has been received with rejoicing by the greens keepers of the local courses.. The fairways have been hard and dry for about six weeks. A little more rain will do them good. Water is needed and plenty Of it. BY L. H. GREGORY. IT by pitched ball Kille fer." Ever see that line in he summary of a game in which Los Angeles played? It has been there many times this season. If the official records took note of the times different players have reached first on a crack in the ribs, we'll venture to say the red-topped Angel chief would top the list by a mile. Yet Killefer has played in comparatively few games this season. Ball players- of the old school used to try to get hit in a' pinch. Any thing to get on with them. That great Portland team of 1906. which had on it Mike Mitchell, Larry Mc Lean, Bill Sweeney, Walter McCredie, Jimmy McHale and other hard-boiled lads, pulled more than one tight game out of the fire after one of them would deftly get in the way of a pitched ball. A man on first and away they'd go bang, crash, slam. the rally was . on and the game was won. That crew would ride a man out of the league who habitually ducked a fast one inside unless it was at his head. Pitchers made a practice then of "dusting 'em off" much more than they do now. A man at the plats' ex pected at least one fast one to be thrown at his head. But if he pulled away from a ball that he could take in the ribs or the small of the back, or on the arm, or the leg, almost any old place, in short, the gang on the bench would yell, "What's the mat ter with you not afraid of getting hit. are you?" Of course, they had to make a show of trying to dodge the ball or the um pire wouldn't allow the base. Walter McCredw tells of having once seen Kid Elberfeld, then in the big league, one of the toughest birds, incidental ly, that ever played ball, twice in one time at bat walk into one of Cy Young's fast pitches. The umpire wouldn't give him the base either time; whereat Elberfeld sneeringly yelled at Young, "Come on, you big stiff, you haven't one fast enough to hurt me," and deliberately stepping on the plate, let Young hit him as hard as he could throw. But the modern school of profes sional baseball players doesn't go in for much of that. Wade Killefer is far and away the foxiest of the old timers in this league at getting him self hit by a pitched ball. He does it game after game. He is tough for a young hurler to pitch to, for he crowds the plate. A ball just a little too much inside is almost sure to brush his clothes at least. Where upon Wade hollers "ouch!" impres sively and trots to first. When Los Angeles played here the week of June 14 Killefer gave a skill ful exhibition in one of the games of getting himself hit. Ring, a youngster, was pitching for Portland. The first man up fanned. The next batter drew a walk and then Killefer was up. The second or third ball pitched brushed his shirt and be took his base. It didn't get him anything that inning, for Ring settled down and retired the side, but the next inning it did. Niehoff. first up, hit over the fence. Another run scored on a walk and a hit. When Killefer came up there were two out and two on bases. This time the foxy Wade, with great apparent effort to get out of the way, took one on the brisket and sauntered to first. Art Griggs brought them all in with a drive over the right-field wall. WOMEN'S NET MEET VED TO F in Andy Smith is giving the boys and girls at Calif orn'a a orand new thrilL He has shown 'em a football team. Now he will show 'em the wherefore of said team. In short. Andy has started a series of foot- j Dan lectures for players, students ana the public. In these skull talks he promises to present the problems of a team in offense and defense so they may be appreciated better, not only by the' man who plays, but the spec tator as well. The lectures began last Tuesday. There are ten of them in the course, and they come Tuesdays and Thurs days at 4 o'clock. There's a strict con ference rule prohibiting any of the Pacific coast conference varsity squads from beginning football prac tice before September 15, but after Andy, in these lectures, has told the football men how to fall on the ball, how to tackle, how to kick, how to play defensive football and how to make an offense snappy, there's nothing in the rules to prevent their going out on the field and trying it out. Mark It now, that California squad will be in better condition September 15 than most of the other conference squads by October 15. There's more than one way to box the compass on a conference ruling. Mexico must be getting back to civilization. Comes now the evidence In the form of a challenge to the pen nant-winnlng club of the Pacific Coast league to play an all-Mexican nine for the international as well as the Pacific coast championship. The chal lenge has been received by William ii. McCarthy, president of the coast league, from- General Avelardo L. Rodriguez, commanding the Mexican federal forces in Lower California, with headquarters at Tijuana. The general, it seems, is quite a player himself. His position is third lase and he used to play with the Nogales, Ariz., team. A man as progressive as General Rodriguez." remarked Mr. McCarthy, "is entitled to a hearing, though l! doubt If it will be possible to arrange the series. In all probability, if our race continues as close as it is now tight up to the end, there will be a post-season series between the win uer and the runner-up." But the fact that the Mexicans have time to think of baseball indicates a lot. Heretofore their revolutions have kept them too busy for anything but shooting. Jim (Hippo) Vaughn, veteran left hander for the Chicago Cubs, whose 30-day suspension for "not keeping in condition" was Johnny Evers' last official managerial act. has taken the hurdles from professional baseball. While under suspension Hippo pitched a game for the Belolt Fairies, a team m the Midwest semi-pro league, which has eight strong clubs around Chi cago. For this Judge Landis sus pended him the remainder of the sea son. Vaughn then signed a three year contract with the Fairies at $6900 a year. "You can tell the world I QgkP joined the Beloit team," announces the big southpaw. "I would have preferred to aid Killifer by playing out the season with the Cubs, but this seems impossible. With the defection of Vaughn the Cubs have lost two great left-handers, each of whom Evers had counted on to win 20 games. George Tyler, his teammate, who opened the year with flying colors, had his arm go dead on him and was unconditionally released the other day. He signed with Rochester under his old boss. Stall ings, and pitched a four-hit victory in his first start. Maybe the old wing wasn t as dead as it seemed. Champions and ex - Cham pions to Fight for Title.

Championship form came to the fore in a striking manner on the courts of the West Side Tennis club today in the round before the semi-final of the women's national singles tennis cham pionships. Of the 64 entrants who began play in the 1921 titular tourna ment but four survived. Of this Quar tet three are past or present national champions and the fourth holds a sim ilar position in Mexico. The tournament has also attested the high standard of the game as de veloped and played in California. In addition to Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mal lory, formerly of Norway but now of New York city, and winner of the title in 1915-18-17-18 and 1920, the sur vivors included Mrs. May Sutton Bundy of Los Angeles, title holder in 1904 and the only American woman to win a world's championship on the famous courts of Wimbledon. England, and' Miss Mary K. Browne of Santa Monica, Cal., three times holder of the title in the years 1913 1913 and 1914. Miss Browne Favored. The fourth survivor, Mrs. C. V. Hitchins, although playing from a lo cal club, learned far more than the rudiments of her tennis on the Pa ific coMt and put the finishing touches on her game during recent easons in and about the city of Mexico. Tomorrow afternoon Mrs. Hitchins will face Miss Browne and Mrs. Mal lory and Mrs. Bundy will play out the other semi-finals. Expert fol lowers of tennis are Inclined to the belief that the finalists will be the Norse woman and the Santa Monica expert. The exhibition of completely round ed out tennis given by Miss Browne this afternoon in her match against Mrs. B. E. Cole, Boston, " which she won at 6-1. 6-2. would appear to give her an excellent claim for a place in the finals. Mrs. Mrllory Easy Victor. Mrs. Mallory was not put to a severe test in defeating Mrs. H. P. Falk of New York. 6-2, 6-1. The contest between Mrs. Bundy and Miss Gilleaudeau was closer than the score indicates. Both played from behind the base line and rallies were frequent and long. Mrs. Bundy, how ever, possessed greater power ana control of her shots. The score was 6-1, 6-2. Mrs. Hitchins won the right to play Miss Browne tomorrow by defeating Mrs. Stuart Greene of Ardsley, N. Y., 8-6, 6-2. Mrs. Hitchins gave an excellent dis play of tennis, in which she showed control of forehand and backhand strokes and the power to shoot the ball into unreturnable positions. Junior Titles Decided. Two junior championships were de cided when Miss Helen Wills of Berke ley, Cal., defeated Miss Virginia Car penter of Philadelphia, 6-3, 6-3, in the final round of the junior tournament. The winner found the Philadelphia girl lacking in ability to handle fast service, smashing and driving. Mies Carpenter, however, doubled with Miss C. Baker of Orange, N. J., won the junior doubles title. Misses Helen and Adelaide Hooker of New York were their opponents and lost 6-3, 6-3. Rapid advance was also made in the woman s doubles cnampionsnip, tne second round being completed with out upset. Coop'r.m 6 wnie.r...
