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

Thursday, but delayed leaving on, a&
count of a match with Miss Sutton.
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

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,

Sweet Marie, Champion Trot
ter, California Bred.
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.

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.

LEAVE HAYTI IN HASTE
Two Merchants Accused of Sedition
Barely Save Lives.
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

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.
Xelson Forgives His Detractors.
Battling Nelson can now enjoy the
limelight and also indulge in the
merry equine smile whenever he con
templates the many disparaging things
written about him previous to his vic
tory. One notable characteristic of
the little champion is the fact that he
possesses a cheery disposition and is
free from cherishing a grudge. A1I
the professional dopesters have taken
back all their ante-fight statements
and have rendered full praise to the
new champion. Nelson is well aware
of this, and has accordingly forgiven.
