JOST WILL FIGHT GREEN
Matched lor Regatta "Weclt, aAsto-
rla, Which In Next Bis
are Gossip.
Local sports are beginning: to figure on
coming events, Midsummer Is here, and
the athletes -who remain In the city spend
a large portion of their time speculating
on the approaching Fall season, -when in
door as "well as outdoor sports will help
keep things moving.
The first big fixture of the future is the
annual regatta at Astoria, which is sched
uled for August 23, 24 and 23. The. man
agers of that affair are bending every
energy to secure attractions that will sur
pass those of previous years. An opening
event -will be a grand boxing carnival.
'For the principal contest, George Green,
better known as "Young Corbett," has
been matched to fight Charles Jost, of
this city, otherwise knonn as "Young
Fltzslmmons " On the last day of the re
gatta there will be a field meet, in which
some of the best-known athletes of Ore
gon .'will contest for honors.
Tennis has received a wonderful Im
petus since the conclusion of the state
tournament. Many new men have taken
tip the game, and the courts are filled
?nost of the time -with enthusiastic play
ers. A new handicap tournament has
"been arranged for September. The
cricket players are still at the game, and
pome good matches are pulled off occa
sionally. Baseball takes Its turn, and sev
eral games are in sight, -while since the
completion of the new bowling alleys at
the Multnomah Club the regular Monday
Slight tournaments hae been resumed.
Grcen-Jost Flight.
George Green, of San Francisco, and
Charles Jost, of Portland, have been
matched to light in Astoria on the night
of August 23. The arrangements have
been practically completed, and the men
will go Into active training in the near
future. Green lb in San Francisco at
present, and Jost. who recently returned
from Montana, is at his home In Portland.
A. fight between thee two men will be
the most Important that has taken place
In this section for a number of years.
Green hai a. record behind him, having
met some of the best men of his weight
la the country. He Is a clever boxer and
hard hitter, and a bigger man than Jost.
He is well up in the middle-weight class,
and fought" Mysterious Billy" Smith a
bout preliminary to the Corbett-Fitzslm-mons
match, at Carson City, Nov. Smith
went down before the San Francisco boy,
after 32 rounds of hard fighting.
Green also beat Dan Creedon, In San
Francisco, but it took him SO rounds to
put the old fighter out. He met defeat
at the hands of Joe Walcott and Tom
Ryan. Both fights were pulled off in San
Francibco, that with "VYalcott lasting IS
rounds and that with Ryan 39 rounds.
5reen'ij last battle was in Tacoma on
the night of July 27. when he put "Paddy"
Purtell out. in five rounds.
It is conceded that Jobt is up against a
hard game. He has had much less ring
experience than Green, but. notwithstand
ing, he has plenty of people behind him
who are willing to risk their money on
liis chances. He is a rapid man. clever
and powerful, and can stand more pun
ishment than movt men in his class. He
has been in the ring several years; I con
scientious, and goes in to do his best.
He has ever stood ready to meet all com
ers in Oregon, be they big or little.
Jost put out "Jack" Hayes. "Jack" Hill
and other local men. when he was new
at the game He knocked out Tommy
KellH twice, once in five and again in
jiiae rounds. Twice he defeated Dudley

Evans, scoring a clean knock-out each
time. He went to Butte, where he agreed
to stop La Fontaine in 10 rounds, but La
Fontaine would not meet him; he agreed
to go in, and then backed out.
It is up to the Astorians to complete
the arrangements as rapidly as possible
and thus secure one of the biggest fights
that has fallen their way since the year
one.
Trade and Field Sports.
Two field meets are down for the near
future, and already many of the local
athletes are in active training therefor.
The first will be. In Astoria, August 25--the
last day of the annual regatta. As
yet, it is doubtful whether the Multno
mah Club will enter a team, but in case
it does, not many of the men will partici
pate on their own account; It would be
an excellent opportunity for the local men
to do some preliminary work for the Fall
athletic meet in, this city.
The management of the Multnomah
Club has about decided .to hold an All
Oregon-Washington meet in this city Sep
tember 8. The Seattle Amateur Atheltic
Club has been communicated with, and
the decision of its management is ex
pected soon. Seattle men will be the
most dangerous competitors the Multno
mahs will have to deal with. They carried
off the honors at the P. N. A. games at
Seattle July 4. and, no doubt, they will
try to do the same thing in Portland,
provided the club enters for the games.
The local athletes have not forgotten
the defeat that they met in Seattle, and
they are determined to regain their lost
laurels. Abendroth has again taken up
athletics, and is training hard. He will
play principally for the weight events,
but may go in for the distances. Aben
droth is a good man, and will materially
help out the team. He is one of the
strongest men that ever belonged to the
club.
Kerrigan can do better than ever be
fore, and he will probably smash the
Coast record of 6 feet 2 Inches in the
high jump, held by himself. Blumenthal
will be in on the runs, "and will give
Paris a harder race than he did in Seat
tle. Bo-wllng- and Football.
After several weeks of rest, the bowlers
of the Multnomah Club have again

tournament, to be given by the Multno

OW IT'S "GOLF POOL."
GotllaKi Golf Enthnslnst Devise
New Billiard Game.
ew game has just been devised by
an enthusiastic golf player, says the New
York World, who delights to spend his
evenings over the pool table in the rooms
of his pet country club. The game he
has christened "golf pool," and that is
really the best possible name for It.
In playing the game the regulation
pool table is used, such as is to-Tbe found
in billiard rooms. Starting at one of the
corner pockets, mark tho figure 1 in
front of the jaws tf the pocket with a
piece of billiard chalk. Move along to
the side pocket and mark that in tho
same manner, only using the numeral 2.
Proceeding around the table In the same
manner will number the corner pockets
1, 3, 4 and 6. The two side pockets will
bear the numbers 2 and 5. The table Is
now really marked for a six-hole course
and the play may begin.
Only two balls are nsed, and not the
full pool set. At the start-off the "golf"
ball is placed on the spot at the end of
the table where the numbers 1 and fi
holes are. Tho "driver" ball is placed
on the spot at the other end of the ta
ble and the opening drive made with a
cue in the ordinary manner of making a
billiard shot, the object being to put the
golf ball In hole 3. Should the plajer
succeed, the "golf" ball is taken from
the pocket and placed on the center
spot, and in every play for the next
hole thereafter the ball Is placed on the
center spot, the player shooting from
wherever the cue ball may have rolled
on the table. The round of six holes is
made in this manner, the player doing it
in the least number of shots winning the
game.
In place of the usual hazards and
bunkers penalties are made. In this
manner: The olaver makes hole 1 on
nis first trial; In shooting for hole 2 he
foozles and tho cue ball drops In No. 4.
This counts two points against him and
he must continue replacing the cue ball
on the lower spot. If on the next trial
he makes the Mo. 2 hole, the score for
that hole is four shots. On his trial for
hole 3, should both balls drop in the
wrong pockets, the count Is four points
against him. The "golf" ball is again
placed on the upper end spot and the
cue ball on the lower spot Luck being
good to the player on the next spot the
"golf" ball drops in the third hole and
his score for the three holes Is nine
points. A player continues shooting un
til he ha completed the round and Is
then follnsed by the next in turn. The
game is a great one for developing posi
tion play on the pool table, and at one
of the country clubs has become such a
favorite that the regular pool game has
been superceded.
BASEBALL WEDDING.
Two Enthusiastic Fnns Married
at
the Home Plate.

to leave tho grounds. Congratulations
were extended and then the umpire called
the ball -game of the afternoon.

"No, not that. There was a phenom

TENNIS TAKtS FIRM HOLD
RENEWED INTEREST DISPLAYED
BY LOCAL PLAYERS.
Game Never So Popular in Portland
' as' Since Recent State Chnm
pionshipa Outloolc.
The success, socially, financially and
athletically, of the Oregon State Cham
pionship Tennis Tournament, held recent
ly on Multnomah Field, Is proof of the
firm footing upon which this sport has
.been -established locally. Three years
ago, interest" In tennis was at its low
est ebb in Portland, and the courts all

- .'J
over . the city were permitted to grow
over with weeds. Last season, through
the enthusiasm of a few players, the
Irvington Tennis Club was organized, and
two tournaments were held, the one in
the Fall being for the state champion
ship, under the sanction of the National
Association. Through the persistence
and determination of the organizers of
tho Irvington Club, interest has been
communicated not only to other players,
but to the general public as well, so
that now the game Is recognized as being
a beneficial exercise and the tourna
ment matches as being athletic contests
well -north witnessing.
Increased public interest and marked
Improvement among the players hav
gone together, as they always do. The
most noticeable feature of the recent
tournament was the relative improvement

of the second and third-class .men, aa
compared with the progress made by
the first-class players. Matches between
first and" second-class men are nb longer
so one-sided as they used to be, but, on
the other hand, are frequently very, close,
and interesting. It will be only a ques
tion of time and practice when the first
class will emhrnee four or flv nln.-pra.
rather than one or two; as in years past.

Activity Among: Locnl Plnyers.
Contrary to all expectations that tennis
affairs would be comparatively quiet af
ter a week's constant play, there appears
to be marked activity among'the nlavers.

suming their practice, This is duo to
Among: the Swedes the gracoful art of diving,
in its most daring and scientific forms, is culti
vated to a decree that no othtr nation can
equal. The Swedish boys and girls are taught
when jqung to overcome, their natural instinct
of fear wlien entering the water, and to prac
tice all manner of difficult feats, and the re
sult is that even among the primitive races,
such as the Hawaiians, who3e wonderful div
ing hold3 tho man who cannot swim in bound
less awe and admiration, there are few who
can attain such a standard of the art as may
be found throughout Sweden.
To the ordinary English-speaking person,
diving means simply a plunge into water head
foremost. The daring evolutions performed
during the plunge as a matter of course by
Bwlmmcrs of other maritime nations are hardly
known, since theyiha-ie scarcely ever been, wit
nessed here. TVo Americans excel In speed
swimming, and give place to no one in our.
strength and endurance; but are far behind
tho Swedes in the graces and nourishes bf the
art senerally, and in diving particularly.
Wltnftw the averace American dhing. He
stands, on the "springboard or rrer bank, al
''iows'' his body "to Incline forward over the
water, and then, as he descends, describes with
his head it quarter circle" of which the body
is the radius and the feot the center. He ap
pears tas if hlnsed by the .feet to. the starting
point, and he falls on tho water- with a re
sounding smaok. ' r
, Tq a Swede, diving means not only plunging
into; the. water head foremost, but also spring
ing , backward, turning somersaults, and
"swan" diving from 20, 30, or 4Q.feet.
Swan diving is peculiar to Sweden. It is the
poetfy of motion, the supreme glory of tho art.
With a standing spring, or with a brief run,
the body is launched into the air. At the same
moment the head is flung far back, the back Is
sharply hollowed, the legs are straightened and
brought together. Tho arms are flung out in
a line with the shoulders, like the wings of a
bird flyinij. In this position the body swoops
through the air until w ithin a few feet of the
water, when the arms are swung together until
the hands touch, so that the body strikes the
water like a falling arrow, at the correct an
gle, with hardly a splash.
There Is no more fascinating dive to watch
than this swan dive of the SwedesT One after
the other, in oilow-my-leader stj le, the Swedes
run to tho edge of the dhing place and throw
themselves Into the air, the Impetus gained
from the running spring sending the body 20
i or 30 feet forwards, to drop through the air
for all the world as though it were fljlng.
In Sweden it is no uncommon sight to see a
party of, boys filing through the air together,
performing the swallow dive. All day long
they" will enjoy themseHes practicing these
fancy forms of dlMng, performing tricks and
somersaults that would' astonish the most ex
pert gymnast. The women become as fearless
as the men in the backward and forward som
ersault dive from comparatl ely great heights,
and are even more graceful in their move
ments. Open-water swimmcra usually make the best
divers, especially when they hae practiced
on rocky shores, where diving or Jumping is
compulsory" before the water can be entered.
In public batha tho stages are always of In
sufficient height to afford the diver scopo to
become an expert.
Men have often attempted hlgh-divlng feats
without any previous practice, with the result
that many lives have been lost through fool
hardy Jumps from bridges and high cliffs. In
Sweden, the swimmers invariably learn grad
ually, making careful trial at each height of
the diving-tower, and never attempting to leap
from the topmost stage until they have mas
tered those below.
Those under 15 show tho least timidity in
taking their first dive. Older people seldom
take pleasure in learning to enter the water
head first, but careful practice will overcome
the natural difficulty they experience. Small
Swedish boys and girls, who have been taught
to swim frofn childhood, will plunge into the
water from immense heights without the least
fear. Chicago Trlbuna.
tho determination among those who were
beaten to perfect their strokes and have
another try at those skillful enough to
win, and the victors, in very self-defense,
In order to retain their laurels, are
compelled to do likewise and persist In
practice.
The tennis committee of the Multno

recent tournament as a basis, have re

Comlnpr Multnomah Tonrnnment.
The Multnomah Club will give a handi
cap tournament from September S to Sep
tember 22, the finals to be all played on
the latter date. The men's events will
be open tq club members' only, but the
ladles' events will be open to all. Entries
close on September 4.
In the men's singles the players are all
arranged in classes, aa above indicated,
and each class is to play out to a winner,
without handicap, the class winners be
lng then drawn against each, other, with
their class handicap. This method insures
close matches throughout, no man being
compelled to play against any one not In
his own class, except In the finals. All
other events will be straight handicaps.
Prizes will be given to the various class
winners and to the flnal winners. The
committee reserves the right to default
any one 15 minutes late. Matches may be
played off at times- other than arranged
by the schedule; by mutual consent of the
players, provided the regular schedule Is
not interfered with.
On August 8 and following days the
Washington tate championship will be
held at Seattle by the Seattle Tennis Club,
and the following week, commencing on
the 14th Inst., the Tacoma Tennis Club
holds a tournament for the championship
of the Pacific Northwest, at Tacoma. It
would be regrettable If none of our local
players should enter these tournaments.
While they could not win against the
champions of the Sound, yet they should
make a very favorable showing, judging
from the manner In which they defeated
the outside players who competed in the
local tournament.
Hardy Brothers In the Eait.
The career of the Hardy brothers, of
California, on the Eastern courts. Is be
ing watched with interest by all Coast
players. In the Western championship
tournament, held at Chicago,' Sumner
Hardy, who made such an excellent show
ing last Fall against the .visltlnff East
ern champions, was beaten In the finals
by Kreigh Collins, of Chicago, In a very
close five-sot match. He and his brother

ASTONISHED ALL EUROPE.
Praise for American Athlete From
Archbishop Ireland.
"The success of the Americans In the In
ternational sports has astounded Europe,
as it Is the most remarkable series of
victories ever won by one nation," says
Archbishop Ireland In a recently cabled
Interview from Paris to the New Tork
Journal, t "Furthermore," . he continues,
"they have proVed the superiority of the
training methods used in universities and
colleges of the. United States.
"I am a firm believer In physical train
ing as an Important factor In the regen
eration of the human race. He who pays
due attention to the common laws of
hygiene as to eating, sleeping and regular
exercise will And himself fitted for all
the walks of life. The mental side must
not be neglected, however, while bene
fiting the physical. As the brain of a
scholar Is bf ten 'dimmed by forge.tfulness
of material needs, so the atheleto some
times suffers for not developing his men
tal powers. Intelligent attention to both
gives a mens sana In corpore sano."
Danger In Slldlnsr to Bases.
Sliding to bases seems to be a more
dangerous undertaking this season than
ever It was. Scores of players have been
laid up since the opening of the season
because of their efforts to reach a bale
in a manner that would allow them to
escape from the touch of the baseman.
In St. Louis. Heldrick and Donlln have
their legs In splints Heldrick two legs
and Donlln" one as a result of slides; Cin
cinnati had Steihfeldt laid up from the
same cause; Chicago has McConnlck;
New York had Davis; Philadelphia had
Wolverton; Brooklyn had Tom Daly, and
so through the list.
The reason for these many Injuries from
sliding He3 In the fact that base runners
are compelled to study and practice new
tricks all the time to evade basemen, wrho,
through the vigilance of the pitcher, and
the Improved throwing of the catchers,
get a ball quicker on an attempted steal
now than they formerly did.

LUDWIG, THE MAN-EATER
He and the D-ivyers Don Alonzo the
Most VIcions Brnten That Ever
Ran on Eastern Trades,
"Probably the ugliest racehorse thut
ever lived," remarked a New York sport
ing man, in the hearing of a reporter of
The Sun. of that city, recently, "wa3
Ludwrig. You will remember, of course,
the famous duel between Ludwig a d
Dave Gideon's Ramapo several years ago.
In which the animals came pretty near
to chewing each other to pieces. Well,
this Ludwig wa3 the toughest animal
that I ever saw. He would take a chance
at anything, and once he got a grip,
nothing but a redhot Iron would induco
him to let go. Down on the Long Branch
form he was known as the man-eater, a
name which clung to him as long as I
can remember. He became one of the
best-known animals In the country and
people Interested in horseflesh used to
go down to Long Branch to see "him.
"Well, Gideon thought that Ludwig
had earned such a reputation for himself
that he ought to have his picture painted.
So he sends for Henry Stull, the hore
painter, and gave him a commission to
go ahead. Stull went down to Lonff
Branch and Into the stable. One of tho
grooms told him to be careful or Lud
wlff would bite him, but Stull said ho
thought he could soothe the animal, and
proceeded to do It by the use of soft
words, Ludwig meantime being In a box
stall, with only his head extending from
the top.r He could wag his head pretty
freely though, and Stull tried to maku
friends with him by patting his nose and
talking to him, attentions, by the way,
which Ludwig never objected to, but
which, at the same time, hadnt the ef
fect of sweetening his vicious temper m
tho least.
Lndivir Grnhi Him.
"Stull was In the fhlddle-of his hypnotla
act when Gideon walks in. He spoke to
Stull and the painter turned arond sul
rdenly. Like a flash LUdwlg ducked his
head and got a tight grip on the collar
of Stull's coat. Well. It was the fun
nlest thing that I ever saw. There was
Stull, wriggling and yelling, and Gideon
and the grooms convulsed with laughttr.
Old Ludwig never moved, but Just held
on, and there was a look of the most
Intense satisfaction in his eyes. Every
means of making the old animal let go
was futile. Every time he was clubbed
over the head he would draw back Into
the stall, lifting Stull clean oft his feet.
Then Stull would holler to let the horse
alone
"It was fully five minutes before it
occurred to anybody to unbutton the
painter's coat and let him slip out of
It. Stull couldn't do it himself, for tno
pulling on his collar had drawn his arms
up, so that he couldn't use them at all.
A groom finally sneaked up and unbut
toned the coat, and then when Ludwig
wasn't thinking anything about It. Stull
slipped out of the garment.
"You never saw such a mad horse in
your life. He was. smart enough to see
that a trick had been played on him,
and he snorted and kicked and neighed
so, that for a time It looked as though
he was going to break out of the stall
and eat a few of u1 up. At the same
time he thrashed Stull's Sunday coat
around at a scandalous rate. Once It
caught on a nail, and as Ludwig pulled
back there was a rip that made the
painter groan. The horse knew that na
had a good thing In that nail, for twi-e
more he tossed the coat so that it would
catch on It. and then hauled back sud
denly, an expression of fiendish joy in
his wicked eyes. When the coat was a
mass of ribbons he dropped it and with
drew into his- stall. Gideon gave Stui'
a coat to go home In, but the picture ci
Ludwig was never painted.
Don Alonzo.
"Old Don Alonzo was another vicious
animal, but he had streaks of good be
havior during which he ran and won
many a race for the Dwyers. I recall
one day when the Don's trainer thought
his temper was sweet enough to start
him in a race. It was one of the bit?
Spring handicaps. I forget which, ard
Patsy Sheedy had the mount. Acccrdlrg
to custom there was the usual parade
of the contestants past the grandstand
before going to the post. Coming out
of the paddock the Don was as sweet
as pie. but once on the track he began
his antics. He kept swinging his head
around to the right and snapping at
Shcedy's legs. Once he almost got him
and Sheedy was scared to death. He
belted the animal across, the head a
couple of times with the butt end of his
whip and kept his right leg back out of
reach of the big strong teeth of Don
Alonzo.
"Going down past the grandstand, how
ever, the Don made a sudden swing 10
the left and caught Sheedy's boot by the
rim. Then he pulled back and ripped tha
boot from the top to the toe. Well, ysu
never saw such a mad boy as that jockpy
in your life. He realized that ha hid
teen clean outwitted by a hore, and
while the Don was contentedly chewing
the section of his boot that he had rlppod
out, Sheedy began larruping him ocr
the head with his whip. He had hit
him about 10 times and the people in the
grandstand were hissing him for brutal
ity, when the old dog made another sud
den swing around to the left and, catch
ing the whip in his mouth, bit it oft
short, not five Inches from the Jockey's
hand. There was nothing for It but to
dismount and get a boot and a whi.v
which Sheedy did. the other horses mean
time waiting at the post.
"All through that race the Don kept
swinging his head around and trying to
get a grip on Sheedy's leg, and thOj poor
boy was so frightened that he rovl!
scarcely speak when he dismounted. Of
course, the Don wasn't anywhere li the
race. He was beaten by horses tijat he
could beat running backward at any
other time."
