land pirls are all right when it comes to
making fine swimmers," says Professor
W. Jj. Murray. "And tf thpy keep on
at the rate they are going this year they
will be winning all the records!" Profes
sor Murray's class of girls at the Multno
mah Club is his especial pride, and h
beams with pleasure when their good
work is noticed and praised. The Murray
stroke Is easily recognized, and it is a
fact that his pupils have gained strength
and speed over the self-taught swimmers.
TWO Y0UN0 GIfilS. DOING
A DOUBLE: tflfrff MJVB
'OME on out here in the river and
I'll show you something about real
swimming," contemptuously re
marked a young slip of a girl to a brawny
shouldered, athletic youth at Bundy's, one
day last week. He took the dare and
started after her, but she pulled away
from him so steadily and gracefully that
he was compelled to cover his defeat by
performing some fancy stunts in the
water.
"These boys make me weary," she
sniffed, when she swam back to the float.
"They come up here and do a few dives.
Bit around in the sun until they get
brown, and then pose as great swimmers!
I'll wager there's not one of that crowd
that can swim the river; but Just notice
how they are Impressing the visitors!"
And with a shrug of her shoulders she
went Into deep water head first, bringing
up far out into the river.
There is no doubt that the young girls
of Portland are putting some of the boys
and men on their mottle about reoords in
the water, and It Is predicted by many of
the "regulars" that In anouier season the
local champions will all be girls. It is
not a new thing for the girls and women
of this city to excel at water sports, but
in the last two seasons swimming has be
come especially popular, and there are
many surprises down on the river bank
for tnose who have not watched the prog
ress of the many young women who are
only supposed to go bathing." Girls are
rather peculiar in their au,iy at this line
of sport. They either make all-round
good swimmers and are perfectly fearless
In' the water, or else they do not get far
beyond the splashing stage. There are
several cases where fine swimmers have
developed from timid beginners, but this
Is the exception.
While the majority of the women swim
mers or Portland practice
High and fancy diving conies in for
a great share of attention at the various
bathing resorts on the river front, this
year, and here la where the fearless girl
swimmer shines. At Bundy's there are
crowds of young girls every day In the
week jumping off the various apparatus
furnished for their amusement, and per
forming all sorts of difficult stunts. The
swinging rings are favorites with the
bravest, and there is usually a smoth
ered exclamation of alarm from the green
spectators who see some girl take a
double back somerset Into the river for
the first time. In the accompanying il
lustrations Miss Vivian Marshall and Miss
Nona Lawler are shown doing a double
high dive, taking the water at good
straight angles. These two girls are
showing the swimmers a few things this
Summer, and both are doing splendid
work. Miss Lawler swam across the
Willamette last week, and Miss Marshall
accomplished the more difficult feat of
swimming up to Ross Island and back.
This week she expects to take the rive,
across and back again, which will make
a good 2'zi-mile swim. Miss Marshall Is
considered the strongest and most confi
dent swimmer among the Portland girls.
as one of the very best. Miss Millie
the breast J and Miss Lawler, and Mis Louise Mur- Schloth Is unusually strong in the water.
ray are both unusually graceful in the
water. Miss Emilie Hirtsel is also classed
as one of the prettiest swimmers In ue
city, but does no diving. Miss jlinnie
Inman has long held the palm for both'
diving and swimming, and is considered
by W. L. Murray, the veteran Instructor.
and her fancy Jumps and diving make
many a boy envious.
When one begins to mention the names
of the really good swimmers. It is hard
to know where to begin and where to
stop, for there are so many really deserv
ing of mention. Mrs. F. G. Buffum has
not been swimming much this season, but
she has long been known as one of the
fastest and steadiest swimmers of the
city. Mrs. E. E. Nlckerson, a newcomer
to Portland from Boston, has astonished
many old swimmers at Bundy's by her
grace and perfect stroke. Mrs. Holt Wil
son Is a fearless swimmer, and the Misses
Falling all excel at the sport. Mrs. Helen
Ladd Corbett is another who enjoys a
long pull through the water and is fre-
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. i Joe Gans
and Battling Nelson will probably meet
In the ring at GoldftekJ, Nev., on Labor
day. A guarantee of $30,000 has been
deposited in a Goldfleld bank by Tex
Rlckard. manager of the athletic club
up there. Nolan says for Nelson that
he will hurry out to arrange details
for the meeting as soon as the money
1b placed In a local bank. Gans is also
willing. Graney cannot see the price
made by the Goldfleld people, so the
local fight fans will lose the fight that
they wanted most.
The money to be put up by the Gold
fleld Club was raised within a few
hours. When Rlckard passed the word
around the camp that he thought the
match could be secured for Goldfleld
the money began to pile In. He had hats
full of gold on the way to the bank
before he had done anything. He de
clares he could have raised as much
more if lie needed it.
While the sports of Goldfleld are
throwing their hats Into the air and
painting the camp a deeper rcl every
minute, the locul fight fans are look
ing pretty blue. Tney feel that they
have been "stalled" long enough. They
wanted a fight and they wanted the
Gans-Nelson. They thought it was all
tnelrs, but 11 seems that there will be
nothing doing. Graney Is feeling as
sorrowful as anybody about losing the
match.
"Not so much because I lose It, but
on account of the game." he said. 'This
s really the place where the fight
ought to be held. I would like to go
Goldfleld a few better but I can't see
triem."
Nolan says that as soon as the gold
bars and nuggets that are stored in the
Goldfleld bank are shipped to San
Francisco he will complete arrange
ments. But until the money is down
here and passes inspection, Nolan and
the Dane will do nothing rash. Evi
dently Morris Levy and the Dane's
manager could not agree on any old
thing. Nolan wanted the earth, or the
biggest "hunk of it, and Morris could
not see It that way.
It is r hard blow for the village
blacksmith. He has cornered the big
Maestrettl and Poholm skating pavilion
for fight privileges and planned to
open up with the Gans-Nelson go. Just
now it looks as though there is a pos
sibility of a Brltt-Hanlon go for the
opening event.
TWO YACHTS.
Llpton Asks Concession in Xext Race
for Cup.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-A cable dispatch
to the Times from London says:
Sir Thomas Lipton, whose anxiety to
challenge again for the America's cup Is
well known, has made the suggestion to a
number of prominent yachtsmen on this
side of the Atlantic that. In case he sees
his way clear to a formal challenge, he
would like to secure a concession from
the New York Yacht Club allowing him
to build two yachts, sail one against the
other and send the better boat against
the Defender.
He firmly believes he Is Justified In seek-
ng this concession, rue defending side.
as Is well known, has the privilege of try
ing out its boats, but the challenger must,
under the deed of gift, name .the boat
' with the challenge. 1
Yachtsmen here who have discussed this
matter informally seem to agree with Sir
Thomas that his desire to obtain sue! a
concession is perfectly fair.
While no formal statement has been
made by Sir Thomas Lipton that he has
any legitimate hopes of success in this
direction, the Inference Is that he has
sounded certain New York Yacht Club
officials, and is not without reasonable
expectations that the question may be
raised at the proper time with satisfaction
to both sides.
