GOSS PLAYS SPIRITED MATCH WITH
AGAR.
Ia the Double Multnomah Team Dt
feat the Irvington Playcru
Three Out of Four.
The Irvington tennis courts, which are
now considered the finest in the North
west, were formally opened yesterday
afternoon, when a large number of enthu- i
blasts saw two spirited matches between
Dr. Agar, of Great Falls, Mont., and W.
A. Goss. of Portland, and a match be- i
twecn the Multnomah Club tam, Wick
ersham and Bellinger, and Goss and Mc
Alpln, of the Irvington Club.
The struggle between Dr. Agar and Mr.
Run. n-n sinn nf nrotflut .Innln i
matches that has taken place for some
time. Dr. Agar s style of play differed
entirely from the well-known style of ,
Goss, in -that he used an underhand i
stroke almost exclusively, and played well
back to the serving line, while Goss
played close to the net anfl confined him
self to straight smashes. Although Goss
won the set from the Montana player, he
was givcri. a closer game than was ex
pected.
The court was new to both men. so that
neither had an advantage. Agar seemed
out of form at the beginning of the match.
ana the nrst game went to Goss by a
score of C-3. In the second game Agar
used his underhand stroke to advantage,
especially on returns, and in placing the
ball. He took the lead from the first
serve, and defeated Goss, 6-2. The last
game and match was won by Goss, 6-3,
not. however, until he had been given a
hard run by Agar.
The exciting game of the day was be
tween the Multnomah team, WIckersham
and Bellinger, and the Irvjngton team.
.icAipin ana uoss. uoss, in tbe doubles,
was not In form, due to his previous
match with Agar, and on account of the
fierce heat. McAlpln also did not come
up to his usual form. WIckersham and
Bellinger were In fine fettle, and their
team work, with brilliant play by both,
won them three games and the match.
Four games were played, McAlpln and
Goss taking one.
The best play by both sides was in the
first game. McAlpln and Goss made a
deuce game out of what looked like de
feat for the Irvlngtons, and finallv won
out. 9-7.
The second and fourth games were tak
en easily by WIckersham and Bellinger,
scores 6-1, 6-1. but In the third game it
was not until after a hard fight and good
play that tho Multnomah team won
out, 6-4.
The six courts at the Irvington grounds
are practically finished. The courts have
been laid out In compact form, and from
the center a good view can be had of all
contests In progress. Each court Is
screened by mesh wire, and the .supports
are painted green, being a great help to
the eyes. The ground is packed solid, not
sprinkled with oil, as In most cases. The
soil is principally of clay, and the bound
of the ball is in most cases true.
Tho clubhouse is expected to be finished
before the tennis season is over. The
lumber is on the ground and all Is in
readiness to erect the building. During
the time In which the new clubhouse Is
being built, temporary quarters will be
occupied. These contain shower-baths
and other conveniences. The grounds are
considered by the club members as the
best in the Northwest.

Are Declared the
Winners.
Those two clever Olympic Club boxers

night In connection with the Olympian
games at the Exposition. The contest

GILBERT, WHO REPRESENTED M. A.
Amateur Athletic Club, and Willie
Dwyer. of the Olympic Club, was by far
one of the prettiest amateur bouts ever
seen in the Northwest. Both boys wero
on their feet at the end of the third
round, lighting like a pair of uncaged
lions. Although Dwyer had Frank In dis
tress, he gave a remarkable exhibition of
gamcness and a desire to keep on mixing
it that won for him almost as much ap
plause as was given to the Callfornlan
when the decision was finally announced.
There was some slight misunderstand
ing concerning the rules on the part of
one of the judges. The rules call for a
four-minute round In case the contest
has gone the full three minutes. The In
terpretation of this rule is, that there
must be a decision, but one judge held
out for a draw. Referee Jack Grant came
to the rescue and announced that because
the judges could not agree, he would
render a "hair-line decision." and award
ed the contest to Dwyer. This pleased tho
large crowd present, who, while the
Judges were trying to agree, were calling
"Dwyer," "Dwycr." Referee Grant's de
cision was Just, for Dwycr was clearly
Frank's master. He was wearing down
the local club man rapidly, and it would
have been only a question of rounds be
fore he would have won. Frank made a
splendid showing. He was far from be
ing In the superb condition that Dwycr
was. Neither was he as strong and
rugged. Boxing with the winged O lads
Is a business and those that the Callfor
nlnns nt to Portland were the cream of
the club, so there Is no disgrace for
Frank that he lost to his opponent.
Dwj-er I.s without doubt one of the best'
125-pound amateur lioya on the Coast.
Any boy who fights his way to a cham
pionship in the Olympic Club in San
Francisco must naturally be so. for they
are forced to wade through a long list
of aspirants. Dwycr Is one of these and
he is a boy that will surely be heard from,
should he take up the professional end
of the fighting game. He Is cool under
fire, has a sleeping potion In cither hand.
Is a shifty boxer and clever on his feet.
Frank, on the other hand, is a showy
boxer. He lacks the steam behind his
blows, and while he shook Dwyer up with
several terrific right swings, he could not
keep step with Dwyer, who was on top
of him all the time.
In the opening round. Frank scored re
peatedly with left hooks to the Jaw. but
Dwyer evened matters by swinging a
hard right to the head, and In mixing it
drove his right and left hard to the body.
Dwyer nearly dropped his opponent with
a left hook to the jaw and a right to the
body, and scored first blood with a left
smash to the face. Frank fought back
gamely and evened up matters by send
ing in several left and right straight
punches to the face.
The Olympic lad secured a slight lead
In the second round, both boys landing
eome punishing blows.
Dwyer forced
5
matters and compelled the local man to
break ground continually.
The third round brought oa some fierce
rallies, with Dwyer always forcing the
fighting and landing the cleaner blows.
Frank was very weak as the final gong
rang.

who should get ten days on the awkward
squad, a Job that he did not relish. He
started in as if he was going to d.le game,
but his courage oozed after he stopped
several of Lundle's thunderbolt wallops
and Referee Jack Grant finally stopped
the contest and awarded it to the lad
wearing the winged O. because Douglas
insisted on slipping to the mat without
Lbelng hit. It was the best thing that
could have happened to Douglas, for. if
he had stood up and faced the music, he
would have been the receiver-general of
a lacing something like those his father
used to give him when he played hooky.
He knew nothing about the rules of bor
ing and when he was walloped a time or
two, he thought he was getting hit In
the clinches and was constantly appeal
ing to the referee.

the other sailors contributed good sup
port. For the Portlands, Fen wick
bowled admirably, and so did Atkin

NEW YORK. July S. Artful, the 3-year-old
daughter of the great Ham
burg, galloping In front of her field
from the start and eased up at the fin
ish, carried the colors of the Whitney
stable to victory today In the Brighton
Handicap, the richest all-aged purse
of the racing year. A length and a
half back of the winner came Ort
Wells, winner of the Brighton mile,
and a slight favorite for the handicap.
Eight lengths further back, the great
mare Beldame, beaten more decisively
than in almost any race of her career,
came home in third place, thoroughly
done. Trailing along in the rear were
Monsieur Beaucaire, Dolly Spanker,
Delhi and Abdell.
Fully 25,000 persons were packed
within the narrow limits of the
Brighton Beach track, and the enthu
siastic manner in which they cheered
Artful's splendid victory indicated that
the great bulk of the public's money
had been placed on the chances of the
Whitney mare. The afternoon was
showery, and by the time the great
race, tho fourth on the card, was
started, the going- had begun to be
sllcky. Artful galloped the mile and
. a quarter In 2:04 4-o, an excellent per
i formance under the conditions. By her
: victory today she won the title of
champion filly of the year.
Throughout the betting today, which
was heavv at all times, there was
hardly a point's difference in tho quot

BIRMINGHAM. England. July 8. At
