Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 13. 1908. 7 GREAT TOURNEY . BEGINS TUESDAY Best Players of Pacific Coast Will Meet on Irvington Courts: FAST SETS ARE PROMISED Stars of Oregon, California and Washington Will Compete for Trophies in Men's and Wom en's Singles and Doubles. The Oregon state tennis tournament, which will be inaugurated on the courts of the Irvington Tennis Club Tuesday morning, July 14, promises to eclipse any previous tournament held In the state, not only In excellence of play, but also from a social point of view. Many of the most prominent racquet wlelders of the Pacific Coast are en tered and will be on hand on the morning the competition opens. With the visiting and local stars working their hardest to capture the champion ships, and the new and handsome trophies that are offered, the strug gle for the honors will undoubtedly be most interesting. Tennis is a game which is compara tively little known to the majority of local lovers of outdoor sports, and yet It is a pastime that taxes the strength and endurance of the strongest ath lete. It is a game in which delicacy and accuracy figure as strongly as the two other necessary requirements of the athlete, and is frequently played with such speed that to the spectator who has a knowledge of the game it is of the keenest interest. Festivities During Week. The Irvington Club has secured the championship games this season by the grace of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club, which organization was to have held the event, but owing to "the uncertain time of completing the im provements being made to the club's field the tourney was transferred to the Fast Side organization. That Irvington appreciates the cour tesy extended is evidenced by the man ner in which the enterprising organ ization la planning the social enter tainments to be held in conjunction with the tournament. The committee In charge of the social arrangements, consisting of J. Wesley Ladd, W. M. Cook, F. J. Kaley and W. r. Brewer, has promulgated the following .pro gramme of events for the evenings during the tournament: Tuesday night, July 14, an informal "flannel" dance will be held at the clubhouse. All are especially invited to this in order to meet the visiting players. Wednesday night. July 16, all mem bers and friends will go to the Oaks to epend the evening. Thursday night. July 16. all visiting tennis players from outside of the city will be given a ride In automobiles kindly donated by the members and friends of the club. Friday night, July 17, a grand tennis ball will be held at the clubhouse. Saturday night, July 18, music, Infor mal dance and awarding of prizes. Ijist of Local Entries. The local players having the best chance for the Flske cup are Goss and Wlckersham, with Wilder and Bellin ger as possibilities. Goss has won the cup twice, and another victory would give him the trophy. He has hereto fore outclassed the other local players, but they are now pushing him bard, and in the opinion of many good judges Wlckersham will beat him before the end of the year. L. R. Freeman is an old-time champion, who was also a star at baseball and on the track team at Stanford and who held all the Coast tennis championships at one time. He has been In the Orient for several years, but if he retains his old-time skill, will be in the running up to tile last. Joe Tyler, who holds the cup from last year, is the youngest of the champion ship possibilities and will defend his title against the winner of the tournament. He is ranked first among Northwest players by his victory In the International singles at Vancouver. B. C, last August, and the Northwest singles at Tacoma. W. A. McBurney will be remembered by Portland players for his fine play In the Lewis and Clark singles and International, which he won in the year of the fair. He is Tyler's partner In doubles and de feated him at Spokane last week for the Inland Empire singles. C. J. Hall and Percy Gardner are the entrler from Ever ett and are reported to be strong players. Hall hulling from Australia, the home of the world's champion. Arthur Reming ton and James Lyon will represent Ta coma. The entry list for this event is the largest and the class of the players the highest ever entered for the state championship. New Trophies In Doubles. In the gentlemen's doubles, the Ladd cup having been won for the third time last year by Wlckersham and Bellinger, all the contestants will play through for the two handsome cups offered by the Multnomah Club. Never before have so many first-class teams been entered In Portland for this championship and the winners will earn their victory. With others are Wlckersham and Bellinger. Tyler and McBurney, Freeman and Ewlng. Hall and Gardner. Wilder and Andrews, Goss and McAlpln, Rohr and Eeschwlntz. Webster and Wells. Mc Millan and Farrell. Shives and Carlston. Snow and McKenzle and Remington and Lyon, of the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club. The women's singles has a larger entry list than last year, and with the class of plyers entered there will be un doubtedly some good matches. The cen ter of attraction Is Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, of Berkeley. Cal., who holds the state championship of California, the Bay County championship, and this year won the championship of San Francisco. This year is the first time that the last named championship has been played for, and Miss Hotchkiss won this title hand ily. Slie is the first holder of a very handsome silver trophy put up by an Kastern sporting goods firm. The San Francisco papers speak of her as hav ing the most promising future in tennis of any of the fair racquet wlelders on the Coast. If she continues to improve and masters the game in the next year or .two as she has done in the past year. Mtes May Sutton will have to look to her laurels. Miss Hotchkiss has a hard drive and smashes splendidly and deep in the court, is very aggressive and plays a good net game, soiui'thing very seldom seen among women players. In her match on July 4. when she defended her title to the California state championship, she de feated Miss Ida Mearns, the challenger, . by the one-sided score of 6-1, 6-1. and it was very evident it could Just as easily resulted In 6-0. 6-0. Miss Hotchkiss had made plans to leave for Portland last Visiting Tennis tiTti! ii it ii CAIN J .MS Ho '-J, - - - - . : .. AINS'WORTH CHALLENGE QUJP LAlpIE f & . - -, , ' ' fit ?

In the women's doubles Miss Hotchkiss will be partnered with Miss Leslie Lead better who is one of the best double- players here, but , with teams like Mrs. Cook and Miss Fording, Mrs. Northrup and Miss Schaefer, Miss Carstena and Miss Fox, Mrs. F. J. Raley and Mrs. D. McLaughlan, Miss Ruth Honeyman and Miss Claire Weidler, and Miss Morrison and Miss Elsie Koehler, it is certain that the competition in this event will be very keen. Miss Hotchkiss will play in the wom en's and men's doubles with D. S. Bell inger and this combination will be a hard one to defeat. There are over Iff" entries in this event and a great deal of con jecturing is being done as to the result Mrs. Walter M. Cook Is partnered with, W. A. McBurney, of Spokane; Miss Ford ing with Lewis R. Freeman, of Pasadena, Cal. ; Joseph Tyler is entered with partner, Miss Carstens with A. B. de Schweinitz, Miss Heitshu with W. A. Goss; Mrs. F. J. Raley with A. B. Mo Alpin, Miss Leartbetter and B. H. Wlcker sham, Miss Mabel Goss and J. F. Ewing, Miss Morrison and Richard Wilder, Miss Koehler and Max Snow, Mrs. W. I. Northrup and F. H. V. Andrews. Besides these entries there are several entered with partners. There is a good list in the women's singles which carries with it a very hand some cup put up by J. C. Ainsworth which has to be won three times to be come the permanent property of the win ner. Miss Amy Heitshu won the Goss and Lewis cup for the third time last year. The women players have been working very hard to Improve their game to such an extent as to give Miss Hotch kiss a hard fight for the title and even If the cup does go away this year, the visit of the champion will do more for our women players In helping them In their game, and the fine points of play, than years of play amongst themselves. Last Fall when Miss Hotchkiss played an exhibition game at Irvington the courts were crowded with players watching her every move and since then all have been trying to profit from what they saw. Amongst those entered In this event be sides Miss Hotchkiss are Mrs. W. I. Northrup, Miss Leslie Leadbetter, Mrs. W. M. Cook. Miss Fording, Miss Ruth Honeyman, Miss Carstens, Miss Fox, Miss Goss, Miss Schaefer, Mrs. F. E. Harrigan Miss Elsie Koehler, Miss Claire Weidler, Mrs. F. J. Raley, Mrs. D. Mc Laughlan, Miss Morrison,' Mrs. H. E. Judge; Miss Heitshu and Miss Moore. COMPETE IX FATHERIjAXD German-American Gymnasts En tered for Great Tournament. FRANKFORT-OX-THB MAIN, July 11.

APPEARED ON SALEM TRACK Driver Set Down and Sweet Marie Disqualified by Judges in 1903. . Won at Seattle Same Year. William Garland Ex-Owner. Sweet Marie, the mare which won the world's trotting championship at Read ville, Mass., yesterday, is a Callfomla bred mare, and In 1903 raced at Seattle and appeared at the Salem State Fair tracks. At Seattle she was victorious In one or two events, but did not extend herself. At Salem she came In for con siderable notoriety by reason of the set ting down of her driver and her own dis qualification on that account. Previous to coming to Oregon she had participated la only amateur events' and her owner at that time was William Gar land. The mare showed considerable promise and he sent her North to race at Seattle, Salem and other places. At that time she had a mark of 2:10, or a little better, and had shown promise of doing much better. Garland is said to have cautioned his driver. Will Durfee, not to allow Sweet Marie to extend her self on the Northwest circuit, and this brought about the trouble at Salem. The judges. In some manner, learned of Dur- Pfee's intention not to permit Sweet Ma rie to extend herself, and they set him down and ordered another driver to take the mare on the traok. Durfee refused to permit Sweet Marie to enter unless he drove her himself, and she did not com pete at Salem on that account. The next year the blacklist against il COS TROTTING MARE WHICH WON THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP AT READVILLE 'V - S' SINSLES IN- f Sweet Marie was raised and she was taken East by Bob Smith. Smith was not an experienced driver and at Read ville that season he was set down, and an Eastern track man given the reins. For a new horse she showed the most promise of any of the steppers then on the Eastern circuit and a great future was predicted for her. TELLS OF PORTLAND RACES Howard M. Covey Interviewed by Eastern Journals. Eastern Journals are publishing articles concerning the Portland automobile races held in Portland during the Rose Festival. They -are giving considerable space to the record made by the Cadillac These pub lications are using an interview with Mr. Covey, the Cadillac dealer in Portland. The Interview is as follows: It was Mr. Covey who scored the great vic tory with the 26 H.P. Cadillac recently in the 58-mile road race, on Greeham course, near Portland. Commenting: upon, the race, Mr. Covey said: 'The course was 14 miles around with six right angles and one "S" turn to each lap, and while comparatively level, with the exception of two good hills, the surface was exceedingly rough. The road was macad amized several years ago, but time had worn It full of ruts and holes In many places. It was eo rough that It seemed like most of the time I was in the air simply holding onto the steering wheel, and as 1 was able on some of the smooth stretches to hit up the pace to 63 miles per hour, I made the entire run in 1 hour, 13 minutes, 20 seconds, or an average of practically 47 miles per hour." The average speed attained by the winning car in the Brlarcllff Trophy race, held in Westchester County, New York, April 24. was 46.15 miles per hour, over a good roadbed course, hence the Cadillac time In the Port land race was more than one and a half miles per hour better. Continuing, Mr. Covey said: "Out of the 11 actual starters, all but two of which were high-powered four-cylinder machines, all came to grief of some sort or other owing to the terrific strain In going over the rough roads, with the exception of one other machine and the Cadillac, the latter winning the race by a lead of seven minutes over Its only surviving rival. While the Caddllac wae one of the lightest weight cars In the event, It crossed the finish line without the loosening of a nut and without having made a single stop from the start." Game Today in Albina. The Nationals and the Stephens Cubs will meet for a deciding game this af ternoon on the Toung Men's Catholic Club's grounds, at Williams avenue and Morris street. Neither team has been defeated in this city, and a good game is assured. The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock. SWECT MARIE. LIST FOR FUTURITY Promising Colts Entered in $5000 Purse Event.

NEW YORK, July 11. By the suppres sion of a telegTam ordering their arrest and Immediate death as enemies of the government of Hayti. and, with only one hour to spare, two merchants of Port Au Prince saved their lives by flight, and are now In New York on their way to Cura cao. They are Adolf Valbrune and Dantes Theodule. both of whom arrived here on the Prince Willem IV, of the Royal Dutch West Indies Mall Service. Through the influence of friends the men learned on July 4 that an order for their arrest had been Issued. The telegram received at Port Au Prince was said to have borne the name of Nord Alexis, president of Hayti, and to have read in part : "Take the men from their beds and shoot them at once." Valbrune and Theodule stood high in Haytien circles and had many friends in the service of the government. Realizing that immediate action was imperative they conferred with officials who were friendly and arranged to have the tele gram held in the receiving office at Port Au Prince until 2 o'clock In the afternoon of July 4. The Prinz Willem IV was scheduled to steam for New York at 1 o'clock. The two condemned men gathered to gether a few pieces of baggage and went aboard the vessel. When the telegram was delivered the Prinz Willem IV had steamed an hour before and the refugees were beyond the jurisdiction of Haytien law. BUILDING MACADAM ROADS Washington County to Expend $20,, 000 for Good Highways. HILLSBORO, Or., July 11. (Special.) Washington County will this season expend about $20,000 on permanent road work, and as a result will build over six miles of good macadam road The material used is crushed rock, and the roadbed will be 12 feet in width, and the cost per mile will be about $3000. The county is working in the Forest Grove section on the west, and in the precincts bordering on Multno mah, on the east. Besides this, the Scoggin Valley . section, near the Yam hill line, will this season complete about four miles of gravel road, pay ment for which is being made by a special levy. , County Judge Goodin states that It is costing about $1.20 per yard for hauling the rock from the crusher to the roads, and he is now conferring with the Oregon Electric for a rate that will not make the macadamizing of county roadB prohibitive. He thinks that he can get a BO-cent rate per cubic yard, and if this can be done it will not be long until the main thor oughfare between the west end of the county and the Multnomah line, a dis tance of 25 miles, will be macadam ized. The average number of yards used on a mile is 1800, and If the 50 cent rate for transportation can be se cured a mile of permanent road will cost not to exceed $1500 or $1600. WILL TREAT JEWS BETTER Kussia to Recognize Their Rights as British Subjects. NEW YORK, July 11. Dispatches from London and St. Petersburg to the Jewish Daily News say the Russian government has decided to adopt a more tolerant atti tude with reference to its Jewish, sub jects. The London ' dispatch says the British Foreign Office has received a re port from the British Ambassador at St. Petersburg to the effect that Russia Is willing to enter into a treaty with Eng land regarding rights of British subjects ot the Jewish faith to sojourn and trans act business in Russia. It adds that this is to be the first evidence on the part of Russia of a more liberal policy toward the Jews in the future. The dispatch from St. Petersburg confirms this news but does not speak optimistically of the promises made by Russia regarding the Jews. It declares that all the concessions named are of a minor character and that even these may be withdrawn after hav ing been in force long enough to assist the government in securing a loan from Jewish bankers in Europe who, the dis patch says, have kept aloof from all foreign loans floated by Russia.

NEW MATCH A DONATION The $10,000 It Will Give Gana Means Enough Money to Let That Dethroned Notable Quit the Fighting Game. BY W. J. PETRA1N. Battling Nelson, of Hegewlsch, I1L, is the undisputed champion light weight pugilist of the world. The durable Dane demonstrated this to be absolute by his performance at San Francisco on July 4, when he decisively defeated Joe Gans, who had held the title for many years, and who was be lieved to be Invulnerable. Gans had enjoyed his day. Age told on him from practically the first round, and the little white man went at the cham pion In the manner he had planned and won one of the best ring battles of the previous two years. Joe Gans had been before the publlo for 17 years as a disciple of the prize ring, and age told on him Just as it had lm the cases of John L. Sullivan. George Dixon, Robert Fltzsimmons and the host of other scrappers who fought one battle too many and suffered de feat after enjoying the fruits of vic tory for many years. Some there are who endeaver to cast discredit on the victor by claiming that the bout was fixed, but a glance at the agonized expression on Gans' face as he rested on his knees in the final round of the recent battle will satisfy anyone, even the most skeptical, that he was really defeated. It was Just such an expression that adorned James J. Cor- ; bett's features at Carson City when Lanky Bob hooked him with the famous solar -plexus Jolt that created a new champion at that time. Nelson mauled Gans' body throughout the battle, his generalship and rugged determination rapidly wore the colored man down and the latter succumbed to pain rather than to the force of any particular blow. Nelson Always Sure of It. While appearing here for a week In a vaudeville turn. Battling Nelson frequent ly assured the writer that he would defeat Gans within 20 rounds, and yet his statements were not taken seriously simp ly because his performances just prior to his meeting with the Baltimorean had not shown any too resplendently. Then again he became associated with the Britt crowd at the Bay City and this added nothing to his reputation, for the Brltts have not gained any in popularity during the past three years. This alone served to discredit Nelson's claims more than any other one factor in picking the colored man to win the battle. Every one figured Gans as getting aged, yet in spite of this apparent handicap he was the ruling favorite at heavy odds. Fistic followers in all sections of the globe, predicted that he would win, and some of them even went so far as to predict the number of rounds in which he would accomplish the defeat of the Dane. How badly they were mistaken has been proven, and hereafter it is quite positive that the Hegewlsch lad will be given due credit for his ability, even though his as sociations are not what some critics would style creditable.
