TIMELY HINTS FOR ALL
Friendly Criticism of Style of Lead
ing Exponents of Game in Port
land Suggestions of In
terest to Players.
BY RAQITBT.
All through thu land there has been
nothing but condemnation for the rank
ing committee. No matter what the cir
cumstance the complaint had been gen
eral, and if the reports were but half
true those who have consented to eerve
on a ranking committee have, In each
case, been relegated to a position on a
par with the yellow dog.
Under Ruch circumstances Raquet once
more takes up the task of tanking the
Oregon players, and despite the awful
rik the list Is made public.
Kor years pact this same Raquet has
taken the chastisement accompanying
this onerous job. and all without mur
mur, but it seems now as if the time
had come when a halt should be called
and a cold-blooded statement made of
Just where we stand.
Our present tennis faculty has been in
Jf Urol for ten years. Raquet has for
ears past tried In some small and in
offensive way to make a few suggestions
to the various players, all of which were
made with the one idea of helping to
ward the improvement of the standard
of play. Raquet Isn't exactly tired of the
the job. but there seems to be almost
no result.
Time was when we had no right to
expect our players to hold a prominent
position among others on the Coast, but
that tfme has gone by and it is no longer
In order to make excuses.
Why was It that Goss and Wickersham
failed to get a place last Summer? Blame
them both, for they deserve it. Raquet
lias certainly performed the required duty
and now its up to Portland and Port
land players.
We have plenty of good material in
the men now playing, but there is a sad
lacking In positive and noticeable im
provement. Until a man reaches the
age of 40 he should be continually im
proving and improving fast with such op
portunities as Portland now offers in a
tennis way.
Miss Ueltshu can be congratulated for
having made the first permanent winning
of a challenge cup for singles in Ore
gon. She has continually maintained her
position as the most skillful player among
the ladies.
The ranking shows a good many
changes during last season and many
familial names are lost to view.
Goaa. In Goss we have our best player
without any question. It seems a pity,
however, that Goss does not learn a few
tilings about the game which he must
know before getting into high-class ten
nis. The old grandmother service still
exists, and while he has added some
pace to his game he never will get very
far ahead without a good serve. We
blame him and him alone for allowing
our championship to leave our fair state,
for with a good serve he Is as good as
any man in the Pacific Northwest. He
showed his wonderful endurance and
consistency in winning both the club
championship and the handicap cham
pionship in the Fall tournament at
Irvington.
Wlckerabatn. There is little to add
to our criticism of last year. 'Wick."
Is the best man In Portland if it were
not for Goss and his generalship. The
hard and fast game of Wickersham
ought to win against anything In the
town, but for his great lack in consis
tency. As a "getter" Wick is without
a peer. As a hard hitter he leads the
crowd. As a general he brings up the
rear. He is strong and plays In fairly
good form. Now Wick, please, drop the
volleys from the back of the court.
Either stay back and drive off the ground
or else come to the net, only hurry.
Bethel. Little need be said of Major
Bethel. His game was probably not at
its best during last Summer, but he still
maintained his hard, clean strokes, and
his knowledge of the game clearly enables
him to hold third place. Bethel has not
made the improvement shown by other
of our first-class men, and this Is duo
largely to his having passed the age
limit. We predict a long and successful
career yet ahead of the Major, for such
men die hard.
Xorthrup. Some element of uncer
tainty here enters the ranking for Nor
thrup was a new man in our parts and
only stayed long enough to make us
realize that we had lost something good.
Ills game was more to the liking of
Raquet than anything seen on the Port
land -courts in many a day. Beautiful
form expresses its chief quality. He was
consistent, careful, fast, and watched
every play. We hope to see him back
some day and when he comes we may
have to award him something better
than fourth-class.
Wilder ' Dick-' made a much better
showing last year than ever before. He
has a good service, resembling somewhat
the twist service, but his lack of speed
makes it of far less value than it might
otherwise be. With Wllder's endurance
and natural volleying powers he should
make our foremost net player. He fails
to come in fast enough, and Is poor over
head. We also think Dick's position on
the court is very bad. He is too often
found in that miserable and untenable
spot close to the service line. He should
also study somewhat his opponent's
gamo and this would help him to get in
the ri,iht place at the right time.
Belllnser. Bellinger made a mess of
It last year by losing to Armstrong. This
. was too serious a matter to be looked at
lightly, and bis ranking by the North
Pacific international lawn tennis commit
tee was impossible because of this de
feat. Bellinger has the best single stroke
on the Portland courts, for nothing can
compare with his free forehand drive.
It is a beautiful stroke and played in
beautiful form. As a volleyer he is weak
and particularly on his back hand.
Turner. Turner is gone. We all
feel safer, for his game was. so fuh of
twists and curves and turns and circles
that many is the time when Raq-.iet has
been made dizzy with the revolving
and kaleidoscopic view. Nevertheless,
he stands seventh.
Beabatn. Benham ranks eighth. He
plays with ease and in good form but
reems to lack a certain amount of
strength, which must go with high
class tennis.
- Ewlnac. Ewing Just about held his
own. His tremendous reach has a very
telling effect, but he docs not use it
to the best advantage.
Andrews. Andrews' game came up
very considerably late in the season,
which was probably due to his trip
North and his play in the Northern
tournaments. He ought to rank much
higher In 1908.
: Ranking the ladies Is a difficult mat
ter. There can be no question as to
Miss Heitshu being entitled to first
place. She comes very close to the
point of playing- a very strong game of
tennis. It is to be hoped that she will
play more than ever, even though she
has landed permanently the first cup
ever offered for an Oregon state cham
pionship. Mrs. Cook is entitled to second place
and with sufficient practice we think
Mrs. Cook will play a better game than
was ever played by any lady In the
state.
Mrs. Baldwin holds third place, and
Miss Fording fourth place. The fifth
place Is a puzzle and whether the honor
falls to Mrs. Helms (nee Josephl) Miss
Robertson or Miss Leslie Weidler will
never be kiown. Raquet favors giv
ing the place to Miss Weidler. but more
on form than on actual resultj. Miss
Weidler shows more possibility than
any players in Oregon among the
ladles. She must learn to vary her
game and not to rely entirely on a
good, hard drive.
The gentlemen's doubles goes with
out doubt to Wickersham and Bell
inger. It is hardly possible to make a
ranking of the other teams, but great
credit Is due to Wickersham and
Bellinger for the great game they put
up this past season.
With as few apologies as possible,
Raquet now wishes to make a few sug
gestions. Some of the old players in
our town are getting a little too Inter
ested in their own game. Last Winter
Brant Wickersham and Walter Goss
each offered to put up a cup to be
played fer by the Grammar Schools of
the city. Both Wickersham and Goss
are in' town and still nothing has been
done in regard to the matter.
Portland can never hope to succeed
in tennis if we overlook this most Im
portant feature of the game For two
reasons we must get this thing started
at once. In the first place, we must
have some champions ten years from
now and we must get them started
right. The present Pacific Coast cham
pionship Is held by a lad 17 years old
and he deserves the title. In the next
place, the youngsters of the town have a
right to expect the older folk to look
out for them and to back them up. We
can't expect good citizens if our schools
fail to perform the required duties to
the youngsters and we tennis cranks
can't expect to have champions if we
don't lend a helping hand to the
youngsters.
Raquet suggests that Jay S. Ham
ilton, president of the Irvington Tennis
Club, and George W. McMillan, presi
dent of the Multnomah Club, st once
appoint a committee who will take this
matter up and arrange to play oft a
tournament as soon as school opens. This
committee should confer with Mr. Rig
ler. the City Superintendent of Schools,
and they should also get the cups from
Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Goss. The
Multnomah Club and .the Irvington
Tennis Club should both throw open
their grounds to be used for these con
tests. Great things are In store, for us this
coming season. In the first place. Miss
May Sutton is to play in all the North
ern tournaments, and this means that
she will first appear In Portland, July
13. Not only are the tennis fans look
ing forward to this occasion with great
interest from a tennis standpoint, but
from present indications tennis week in
Portland is to be the most Important
week of the Summer months.
Through the courtesy of the M. A.
A. Club the Irvington Tennis Club has
been loaned the Oregon state cham
pionship tournment for 1908. This is an
occasion that Irvington has been looking
forward to for years and if but half the
plans carry through the tournament
will far surpass anything ever held
in the Pacific Northwest, All of Irv
ington will entertain and the Tennis
Club will be the center of one con
tinual round of social events. A large
tennis ball is being planned by the
committee and a large number of out
side players are to be in attendance.
Then there is to be held at the beach
the first large invitation tournament
ever, attempted on the Pacific Coast.
A committee from Portland has Joined
with the Hotel Breakers in planning
the delightful event and those who
have already received their Invitations
have only a forerunner of the pleasure
to be had during the third week In
August.
Racquet wishes to make one other
suggestion, directed for particularly to
the ladies in Irvington. In view of the
fact that most of the men cannot play
until after 5 o'clock, it would be
thoughtful on the part of these ladies
if they do not use the courts at this
hour. It has been quite noticeable al
ready that men are oftentimes forced
to wait for a. court until nearly dark,
when the ladies are sometimes play
ing singles and doubles and many of
these ladles might just as well play In
the morning or early in the afternoon.
The Tennis Guide, authorized by the
North Pacific International Lawn Ten
nis Association, is now in press und
Arthur Remington, who recently spent
a week in Portland, writes that It will
soon be ready for distribution.
In no part of the United States has
there been so much interest taken in
the game and the expense and work

strength of the game In these parts.
The committee having the matter in
hand is Arthur Remington. Harry
Pooley and Walter A. Goss. The Guide
contains nearly all the scores of all
championship matches played for the
last 20 years In the Pacific Northwest,
as well as a list of all of the cham
pions, together with many pictures of
prominent players and prominent club
houses. Not Mr. McAlpin, we are sorry to
leave you out of the ranking.- for you
deserve the best that we can give. Our

McFarland and Welsh to Meet

ALSO GANS AND NELSON
Fans Ready to Give Long Odds on
Kegro Against Dane, but Win

So Easily Picked,
BT W. J. PETRAIN.
Next Saturday is the "Glorious Fourth."
While up here In the Oregon metropolis
there will be little In the way of athletic
contests outside of a Tri-City League
baseball game, our neighbors of Cali
fornia have arranged two worlds cham
pionship fistic encounters, numerous pro
fessional baseball games, horse races and
other forms of amateur and professional
sports.
San Francisco and Los Angeles are
rivaling each other In the matter of pre
senting fistic encounters for the benefit
of those who enjoy contests of this kind.
And, by the way, there is no small army
of admirers of this sport in California.
This applies to Portland as well, only
here the opportunity of seeing anything
like a professional scrap is prevented by
state statutes.
Let ua not become jealous of San Fran,
cleco In her present opportunltj-, how
ever, for the fight fans of the Bay City
are likely to become the recipients of an
other lemon presentation. However, It
does not matter what kind of a scrap,
fake or otherwise, Joe Gans and Battling
Nelson shall engage in before a California
or Nevada crowd, the result remains the
same, for thousands of people will ad
vance the required price and flock to the
arena to witness the black and the white
gladiators engage in the task of mauling
each other's features.
Joe Gans Is unquestionably the most
wonderful fighter of the age. He has been
before the public a longer, time than any
of the first-raters of today and everyone
acknowledges his supremacy In his divi
sion. Owing to his failure to put Nelson
out in 4a rounds at Goldfleld about two
years ago, a few admirers of the Hege
wisch lad have revived sufficient confi
dence In him to believe that he can actu
ally defeat the negro. Perhaps he can.
but the Missouri spirit will so much pre
dominate that the Baltimore black is like-

ly to step In the ring a ten-to-three 01
four favorite in the betting. Ten-to-four
is a long price quotation against the
scrapper of the Battler's caliber, but
even at that there are likely to be few
takers. Nelson has become disliked be
cause of his association with unpopular
managers and fistic promoters, and while
he may not be wholly to blame himself,
his associates have succeeded in having
him discredited to a marked degree.
Down Los Angeles way there is a big.
burly, good-natured chap, the idol of
fistlana today, who has arranged the best
of the two Fourth of July attractions
scheduled for the roped arena. This big
fellow Is none other than James J. Jeff
ries, the only acknowledged champion of
the world of the present day. He has ar
ranged to present Packy McFarland, the
claimant to the white lightweight cham-i
pionship, and Freddie "Welsh, premier
among the little scrappers of England.
Welsh's prowess Is not very well known
In America, but he Is ?- lieved to be a
highly capable boxer, and one who Is ex
pected to make a lively battle with the
nifty Chicago lad.
McFarland has demonstrated his abil
ity In no Bmall manner and the fight fans
of the United States are quite ready to
take him seriously at all times. Some
even figure him as a match for Gans, and
it may be that be possesses such caliber.
As he is but a youngster. It would be far
wiser to permit him to clean up some of
the secondary lights before matching him
against the past master of the art in his
division.
PIONEERS
MEET
APOSTLES
Game Scheduled for St. John With
Winning Pitcher in. Box.
The Vancouver "Pioneers" are sched
uled to meet the St. John "Apostles" at
St. John this afternoon, and one of the
best games of the Tri-Clty League sea
son should be In order. The St. John
club is playing splendid ball, and the
"Pioneers" are also noted for their fine
work of late, which would Indicate that
a close and exciting contest is likely to
be the result.
Among the "Apostles" who have shown
up In good form lately are "Big Leaguer"
Oliver, Parker, Keeler, Ruple and Hoo
ver, while the Vancouver contingent com
prises Its regular speedy Ilne-up. Arthur
Pender, the Vancouver southpaw, will be
back in the game today, and he has the
habit of usually winning whenever he
mounts the slab. Some dissatisfaction
has been expressed by the Trl-Clty
League clubs because St. John does not
support Its club like the other towns in
the circuit, and it is possible that some
of the games scheduled there will be
pulled off elsewhere later in the season.
The line-up this afternoon will be as

WEST SIDE 3; EAST SIDE 1
Trl-City Teams Play Good Game
With Close Score.
The Wrest Side team or the Trl-Clty
League won a fairly Interesting game
from their East Side rivals on the
Vaughn-street grounds yesterday by the
close score of 3 to 1. The victorious
team succeeded In bunching a double and
a triple, both of which followed a base
on balls In the sixth inning and thereby
secured enough runs to stow the contest
away, and incidentally to shove the hire
lings of Secretary Smith Into the cellar.
Drennan was the West SIder guilty of
finding Hurlburt's offerings for a two
bagger, while Ray Hinkle owned up to the
three-bagger. The contest was fairly
Interesting and pleased the small crowd
present to a certain degree. Jack Olney
pitched a very good game, allowing but
three hits, and but little fault could be
found with the work of Hurlburt. for.both
slabsters deserve creditable mention.
The West Slders are scheduled to meet
the Woodburn team at Vaughn street this
afternoon, -when the score of the Portland-Los
Angeles game will be announced
by innings.
OLYMPIC TEAM HAS SAILED
Two Athletes Work ' Way Across
Ocean as Stokers.
NEW YORK. June 2T. When the
steamer Philadelphia sailed for Europe
today it carried practically all of the
American team of athletes who are to
compete In the Olympic games at Lon
don. In many quarters It is regarded
as the strongest and most representa
tive body of athletes ever sent from
America to compete with Europe's se
lect men.
Thousands of athletes crowded the
pier long before the steamer was sched
uled to sail, and several brass bands
enlivened the occasion. Both Manager
Halpln and Trainer Murphy said the
men will train all the way over. They
will use the poop deck for the work,
and a board will be rigged up for run
ning and jumping. They will have a
special training table, and a gym
nasium and all the necessary apparatus
aboard.
The were 86 athletes on the list for
sailing and all of them answered the roll
call. One of the first men to get aboard
was Ralph Rose, of San Francisco, who
is entered in the hammer-throwing and
shotputting events. The last man to ar
rive was Martin J. Sheridan, of the Irish -American
Athletic Club, who Is looked
upon as one of the best point-winners on
the team. Three of the men selected.
Dray of Yale, Whitham of Pennsylvania
and Rowe of Michigan, did not go, for
various reasons.
Craig, a wrestler and boxer, and Fisher,
an all-round athlete, are working their
way to London as stokers on steamers
In the hope that they may qualify in
some of the Olympic contests. Being un
able at the tryouts here to get In places
on the first string, they determined to
work their passage.
SOXS OF ELI TO AID COACH
Old Yale Stars Will Assist Forbes in
Work on Oregon Gridiron.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
June 27. (Special.) It seems quite cer
tain that Jack Owsley, Foster H. Rock
will and perhaps one or two oth.er former
Yale stars will spend a week or ten days
here next Fall assisting Coach Robert W.
Forbes with the university football team.
As Forbes Is the only Tale man who will
coach on this Coast during the coming
season, it Is quite likely that he will have
the enthusiastic support of all the sons
of Ell In this part of the country.
Forbes will reach Eugene about Septem
ber 20, when he and Assistant Coach
Arnsplger will begin active work with
the gridiron candidates.

CuIIen-Scaler Fiasco Puts Finishing
Touch to Effort to Revive Fistic
Contests Fans Disgusted at
Treatment Accorded Them.
SEATTLE. June 27. (Special.) The Cul-len-Scaler
fiasco on Monday night prob
ably marks the end of attempts to res
urrect the fight game In Seattle or Its
vicinity. The unfortunate Gans-Holly af
fair of two years ago and more killed
the game until Johnny Reid pulled off
the bout between Abe Attell and Eddi9
Kelly at Sound Beach, Just across the
Snohomish County line, a few week
ago. That battle was far from being an
overwhelming success. The boys fought,
all right, and the fight was worth see
ing, although the result, of course, was
a foregone conclusion. But the crowd,
a big crowd, too, was compelled to ride
15 miles in a stuffy train, scramble for
a quarter of a mile over a badly-planked
road, and after a fight to get through tha
Improvised gate that reminded one- of
nothing eo much as the traditional bargain-counter
rush, had to double up on
rough plank benches, whloh were built
within a foot of the ground, so that one's
legs were cramped till they had knots in
them. To add to the discomfort, fully
one-third of the spectators saw little of
the fight by reason of the fact that tha
ring was directly between them and the
sun. But there are plenty of fight fans
In Seattle and not less than 3500 attended.
Reid had apparently caught the min
isters and the law and order forces nap
ping the first time, but when the Cullen
Soaler affair was scheduled they were
up and doing. The consequence was that
the fighters and the small crowd were
driven away from Sound Beach. The
boat which carried the crowd scoured tha
shore for possible fight fans and then,
stood out Into the stream and the fight
took place on board. There was no usa
landing on Whidhy Island, as the au
thorities of San Juan County were also
on the lookout. A purse of a few hun
dred dollars was made up by those
aboard, and Ried refereed the affair, as
he did the Kelly-Attell go.
The result was indecisive and the la
mentable affair of Monday night was the
result. There Is all kinds of suspicion
of Reid and Sammy McClintlc, his friend,
who was also the ex-manager of Cullen.
It is reported that McClintic was betting
on Scaler and some of the fight fans
think that the whole affair was jobbed.
At any rate. It was miserably managed.
The least Reid might have done, it la
argued, was to have ascertained Cullen's
determination not to light before the
boat had made the trip to Langley and
allowed the boat to return early in tho
evening, instead of keeping half a hun
dred men up the entire night. The en
thusiasts who paid tS each for tickets
and returned at 6 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing with heavy eyes and a pardonablo
wonder whether or not they would ever
get their money back were sore, and had
Reid. instead of scooting away to Everett,
returned to Seattle with the crowd there
might have been somo trouble.
There Is no question that there is a
large percentage of Seattle's population
that would like to see the fight game
revived. But the possibility of anything
of this kind is extremely remote. There
was a time when Seattle was free and
easy and the city and county officials
attended pugflietlc encounters en masse.
But the wide open days are past and
even If the officials were willing, with
such a'ert opponents of the game as Rev.
M. A. Matthews and others on guard,
there Is small prospect of resurrecting
pugilism on anything like a legitimate
basis.
