and Nat EmersonMatches Are
Under Multnomah Auspices.
Everything is ready for the Twelfth
ftnnual Oregon State tennis tournament,
which begins tomorrow morning on the
Irvington Tennis Club courts under the
auspices of the Multnomah Club. About
80 players are entered in the different
events and without doubt some of the
closest matches and best tennis will be
played ever seen In Portland.
Out-of-town players who have al
ready been heard from and are coming
are as follows: Miss Hazel Hotchkiss,
Berkeley, Cal.; Miss Marion Pitts, Van
couver. B. C: Mrs. H. F. Charters, Eu

Local Cracks Have Entered.
Besides these visitors all the local
cracks are entered and some who have
recently come to Portland aid are
"dark horses" because they have not yet
been seen in local tournaments. In the
men's singles there is Nat Emerson,
who was Western champion several
years ago. and will probably show the
best class of tennis ever seen on Port
land courts. However, before he can
reach the finals be must dispose of
such experts as Gorrill, Andrews,
Wilder and Wakeman.
Then the winner will meet Brandt
Wickersham in the challenge round
for the time-honored Fiske cup and
the championship of Oregon. Late last
night nothing had been heard from Joe
Tyler, the Spokane champion.
Interest Keen in Ladies' Singles.
In the ladies' singles great interest
attaches to the presence of Hazel
Hotchkiss. the National champion. One
of her most formidable opponents will
be Miss Marion Pitts, of Vancouver,
B. C., who represents the best Canadian
etyle of play.
There will be many ' hard-fought
matches in the men's doubles ad ladies'
doubles. There is no more interesting
point in the whole tournament than
the question whether any team will be
able to overthrow Gorrill and Wicker
sham, who recently won the interna
tional championship at Spokane.
For some years the mixed doubles
have Increased in Interest and quality
of tennis until there are few event t
that arouse more enthusiasm among
the spectators. Some of the teams al
ready arranged for in the mixed dou
bles are. Mrs. Foullhoux and Mr. Ewinff,

Portland Motor Boat
CIul Doings
19 it beyond dispute that the power boat
races held under the auspices of the
Vancouver Yacht Club and the Portland
Motor Boat Club at Vancouver the early
part of the month were a grand suc
cess ?
While a Portland boat won the hand
some cup and the Pacific Coast champion
ship, we must admit that the Seattle
Spirit la a much faster craft and would
have carried the trophy back to Seattle
had not misfortune fallen to her.
Frank Thorn's new craft was out on the
river Thursday on its trial trip. It is a
trim-looking craft and showed a flash of
speed.
'
The official pennants have arrived and
all the club boats are urged to disport
one to the breeze. They add to the at
tractiveness of the craft.
"Doc" Yates is having the Billiken
overhauled since its accident while re,
turning from the Vancouver races on the
Fourth .of July.
.
The next thing that will occupy the
time of the motorboatmen, now that the
big regatta is over, will be-the monthly
cruise of the club fleet next Sunday
to Rock Island Club grounds.
Captain E. W. Spencer, one of the
owners of the Wolfr II, viewed the race
from the river bank. He would have
been more at home at the wheel.
Ray King's Martha King, formerly
the Mountain Maid, is having a new
cabin built. This will make it one of
the classiest cruisers on the river. .
t
The crew of the Seattle Spirit loudlv
praised the hospitality of the Von der
Worths, who helped them load and un
load the boat for the races.
'
Captain Milton Smith, of Rainier,
owner of the Happy Heinle, was a spec
tator at the Sunday races. Before leav
ing for home he said he expected to
enter his racer in the Astoria regatta.
M. S. Sanford. a member of the club,
but now a resident of. Astoria, paid a
visit to Portland yesterday. Mr. San
ford says great preparations are being
made for the regatta the latter part of
August.
Echoes of the big races are still be
ing heard. The most pronounced is the
talk of a match race between the Po
tato Bug, Spewr and Happy Heinle. If
these craft do get together It will be a
sharp race for a side bet.
Treasurer C. V. Cooper should be
commended for his thoughtf ulness in
looking after visitors and the press.
His palatial craft, Charmalee, was used
as a dispatch boat during the races.
The Seattle visitors were carried to
Vancouver to the races Sunday in Ray
King's Martha King.
Herman Eberhardt used his nifty
launch, Neptune, as a stake boat on the
turn five miles up the river from Van
couver. Mr. Eberhardt says it was a
grand sight to see the racing craft
take the turns while under speed of 30
miles an tiour.
'
The club officers are anxious to have
the- Portland Motor Boat Club make as
good a showing at the coming Astoria
regatta as did the Astoria Motor Boat
Club at the Vancouver races.
M. A. A. C. Gossi
P
Temporary quarters of the superin
tendent. Daw Walker, and the club of
fice, are established in the basement of
the Lincoln High School building.
The new club will be bigger, finer
and better than ever. It is impossible
to down the winged "M" spirit.
Now, in this hour of crying need, is
the time for each club member to work
for the upbuilding of a finer institu
tion in every way. This can be done,
and will be done, by the dint of hard
work and the united efforts of the en
tire membership in co-operation with
the board of trustees.
Wllkie Duniway is the proud father
of a bouncing baby boy which the stork
brought last Tuesday night. The
youngster will probably be taught to
play billiards.
Eddie O'Connell, Arthur Cavill, "Smi
ley" Trainor. Dow Walker, Ed Jeffrey
and other members saved the bulk of
the furniture on the ground floor of
the club. Everything but the safe and
the billiard table were taken to safety
by the volunteers.
Cavill. single-handed, saved the
houses across the street from the club
by surmounting the roof of one of them
and keeping them wet with the aid of
a garden hose. Cavill had his shirt
burned from his back but didn't mind
that.
.
On Wednesday night, incidentally the
13th of the month, 13 new senior mem
bers were admited into the ranks of
the club. One of the directors remarked
that 13 on the 13th was surely bad
luck. His prophecy proved true.
Even in the hour of need the indom
itable pride of the club was shown
at the monster meeting on Friday
night. Rather than break the old-time
tradition of not soliciting public aid,
by unanimous vote a bond Issue of
J250.000 was decided upon. With this
sum on hand the present indebtedness
can be paid off. the work already
started on the field can be completed.
a new building can be constructed ani
an emergency fund of 350,000 can be
carried on hand.
Many of the members will take
blocks of bonds, at 5 per cent. One en
thusiastic member pledged himself as
willing to take 350.0OO worth of them.
The Portland Young Men's' Christian
Association offered the use of the gym
nasium, swimming pool and shower
baths to all those holding Multnomah
Club cards. Three long, rousing cheers
were given for that institution when
the offer was received.
Insurance to the amount of $43,000
was carried on the building and grand
stand. The value of the club was esti
mated at $75,000

Skin lost at the finish to T. R. Howltt's
Dottie Dimple, following an exciting
dead heat between these same two
trotters. These events came as a grand
finale in the regular bi-monthly races
of the Riverside Driving Club, held
yesterday afternoon at the Country
Club track, near Rose City Park. The
entire card was marked with close
contests, and the crowd present showed
its appreciation of the performances by
continued applause. As a whole yes
terday's meet was one of the best yet
held this year.
Many of the races were closely con
tested, but the last one on the pro
gramme was by far the most sharply
fought. Four heats were necessary
before a winner could be picked be
tween Red Skin and Dottle Dimple.
The Lohmlre horse cantered home an
easy winner in the first heat in 2:19,
while the Howitt animal reversed the
order of things in the second, and
proved the fester. The time was an
other 2:19.
Race Even for a Mile.
Then it was that the two animals
had their great neck and neck strug
gle around the course, only to end in
a dead heat. In this try Howitt drew
the pole, but before the quarter mile
mark had been reached his opponent
had wrested the coveted post from
him. Thus the horses, raced down the
back stretch and to the three-quarter
mark with Red Skin a little ahead.
Then probably the closest race down
the home stretch In all the history of
the local track began. It ended with
both animals as even as could possi
bly be and another heat was ordered
by the judge.
Not sufficient time for the horses
to cool off was allowed them between
the third and last heats, and as a con
sequence the horses tired more rap
idly than would otherwise have been
the case. The two contestants had a
good start after scoring but once and
were away down the track in a flurry
of dust. The race waxed even for the
first quarter of a mile. Down the
back stretch the animals raced with
Dottie Dimple half a length ahead. So
they stayed until the final stretch,
when the Howitt horse pulled up and
despite the game efforts of Red Skin

The second race of the programme
was a trotting contest between T. W.
Murphy's Sis Meriden, C. A. Aklson's
Planter and Ed Aylsworth's Sargo. The
horses finished in the order named in
straight heats. Sis Meriden gave a
very creditable performance of trot

the second was made in 3:27.

thoroughly liked by the spectators, was
the boys' pony race for animals of
under 14 hands over a three-eighths
mile stretch. Only three ponies started,
but the race was nip and tuck between
them. The winner, Bessie, a roan mare,
was left at the post for a fraction of
a second -and the other midgets got a
lead on her. Undaunted by this, and
despite the fact that the other two
horses crowded her outside, the little
roan by a great burst of speed in the
last few yards nosed out the other
ponies. It was by far the closest race
of the day excepting the dead heat.
The winning pony was ridden by
Hugh Balman. a 15-year-old embryo
Tod Sloan. Ed Walsh on Babe I was
second, while Emmett Garrison on
Babe II was third. The last horse held
the lead until within a few yards of
the wire. All were given prizes.

Portland Man . Wins From Hindu
Wrestler In Short Order.
Eddie O'Connell, wrestling instructor
of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club and premier welterweight wrest
ler of the world, added one more vic
tory to his list since coming to Port
land by journeying to Astoria on Fri
day and taking the mesure of Al Singh,
the Hindoo who had been beating ev
erybody in that neck of the woods.
O'Connell agreed to throw the East
Indian three times in one hour. He
threw him three times in 15 minutes of
actual wrestling. For the first few
minutes the swarthy-skinned wrestler
seemed to have the edge on the Mult
nomah instructor, but by using all of
his wrestling ingenuity in gaining the
first fall from the Hindoo O'Conpell so
bewildered his opponent that in the
next two falls he was easily downed.
The first fall was won by O'Connell
in 10 minutes with a combined scissor
and arm lock. The second fall was the
result of but a little more than two
minutes' work. The Portland man came
back for the third fall apparently as
fresh as ever and downed Singh in
less than three minutes.
Carl Busch challenged O'Connell at
the ringside.

for two races will be run for the highest
purses ever offered In the Northwest.
The first and most important will be the
J10.000 pace, while a trotting event for
$5000 is also to be on the card. Each' will
be run on a separate day. Good-slxed
purses are offered for the regular races
of each day's programme.
The big stake is the largest ever offered
In the Northwest and it already has cre
ated widespread Interest on the circuit
of which Portland is a part, as the East
ern horsemen are always on the lookout
for progressive circuits and the J10.000
purse offered in Portland has brought
this circuit into notice. .
Many of the best horses In the harness
world will be seen in competition. There
are 36 entries for the $10,000 pace, which
shows the interest that such a stake at
tracts among the breeders and trainers
of the fancy steppers. This stake 'will
advertise Portland widely.
Attractive added features to each day's
card will serve to make this year's show
greater than any before held in the
Northwest. Arrangements have been
made by the directors of the association
for the daily attendance of a band of 100
pieces, and this, of itself, ought to prove
an attractive feature. This band will
give concerts In the afternoons and even
ings. The famous guldeless pacer. College
Maid, the sensation of last year's North
western circuit meets, will appear. Col
lege Maid is credited with a pacing mark
of 2:08 without driver or sulky. She is
a beautiful animal and is the center of
attraction when taken on the track.
All week a country fair will be held.
Fifty clowns and side shows galore will
furnish attractions. An Indian village
will also be a feature, for genuine Indi
ans will be on hand with war dances,
races and native games. Eastern Oregon
cowboys will also be there with broncho
busting exhibitions, and other prairie and
Wild West sports.
More than 100 concessions will be
opened on the "Midway," and among
these will be some of the best vaudeville
attractions In the country. Three nights
there will be fireworks.

Today's game was marked by dirty

referees. Many men on both sides were
sent to the fence by the referee, several
too badly hurt to resume pla'y. The
Montreal team showed much faster in

ATHLETE, GIVEN HONOR
J. K. XEILIj, OREGOX "IT" GRAD
UATE, GETS COVETED "O."
Case Probably Most Exceptional of
Any Track Man on Record..
Slump Comes Before Meet.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
July 16. (Special. )James K. Neill. a
member of this year's graduating class,
is the first Oregon athlete to be granted
the lionorary "O" for meritorious work
on the track and football field. The "O"
te the official emblem granted an athlete
when he makes ten points on the track
or plays two full halves in football. Be
sides this, the athletic council is allowed
to grant the emblem to anyone whom it
deems is deserving of special credit but
who has not made the required number
of points. This priviledge is seldom exer
cised by the Council, Neill being the
only man to receive the "O" in this way
for athletic work.
Nelll's case was probably the most ex
ceptional of any athlete on record. Com
ing to Oregon from La Grande four years
ago as a frail and undersized boy of 18.
he worked himself Into a tower of
strength by sheer -hard training and.
perseverance. Without the gift of speed,
he went out for a line- position on the
gridiron, weighing less than ISO pounds.
He worked ceaselessly in the weight
events on the track until In his senior
year his form in the hammer-throw was
perfect. In spite of his handicap in size,
he made the track team both last year
and this, but a streak of bad luck always
seemed to bring him down during a meet,
so that he fell short of the required ten
points both seasons.
Neill was a?so a member of this year's
basketball team, but this sport Is not
recognized by the official college emblem.
He was also ' champion welterweight
wj-estler in the varsity, another sport
which unfortunately was not recognized.
Perhaps the most remarkable part of
Neill s achievements is that he has
worked his own way through college,
paying all expenses from start to finish.
He was also an exceptional student,
graduating with honors in the department
of electrical engineering. He constructed
a wireless telegraph apparatus for his
thesis.
Neill's marvelous physical development
is one of the features of Trainer Hay
ward's system of conducting athletics at
the state university. No man is neg
lected if he will try, and some of the
best athletes have begun as second and
third rate men.
It is Neill's brother, a freshman, who
holds the Pacific Coast record of 148 feet,
8 inches In the javelin throw the best
throw made in the United States this
j year.

CLUB TO REBUILD
Multnomah Directors Busy
Arranging Bond Issue;
FIREPROOF HOME PLANNED
Xo More Fires for Athletic Organ
ization If They Can Be Avoided.
Larger Gymnasium and Swim
ming Tank Are Considered.
The proposition for erecting a new club
house and athletic plant on the site of
the recently-destroyed Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club is now in the hands
of the board of directors, and definite
plans will be announced as soon as the
preliminary details of the bond issue and
sale can be completed.
The enthusiastic spirit displayed by the
members at Friday night's meeting has
given the directors an incentive to rush
matters as fast as possible, for they were
unanimously indorsed by the members,
and given full power to act in the matter
of the club's reconstruction.
It is planned to build a six-story fire
proof structure which will amply accom
modate the club members, as well as the
Women's Annex. In all departments the
space allotted the exercises of the .d'f
ferent classes Is to be provided for in
ample form. Separate gymnasiums will
be maintained for the men. the women
and the juniors, and the plans also in
clude the establishment of large locker
room and dressing-room space for a
largely increased membership.
Another feature to be enlarged upon
In the new club will be the swimming
tanks,, baths and showers, as well as
rubbing rooms, all of which will be en
larged and increased in size.
The new swimming pool will be an es
pecial feature of the club, for the direc
tors feel that this branch of athletics
has grown to such an extent that it
will be necessary to provide a tank at
least twice as large as the one used in
the old building. The old tank has not
been injured by the fire, and during the
coming week a temporary shelter will be
erected, and shower baths placed for the
accommodation of the members who have
been accustomed to their daily plurure.
Arrangements for temporary quarters is
another item occupying the attention of
the board, and thi3 matter is expected to
be adjusted satisfactorily as soon as the
trustee of the George H. ' Williams es
tate, Rodney L. Glisan, can be reached.

moved up a peg on Portland in the Pa
cific Coast League pennant race today
when the Beavers fell to the Oaks. The
contest for Jlrst place grows keener
with each day's play. The week resulted
in the clubs bunching closer together
than ever, and it is hard to imagine a
better struggle than exists between the
first five clubs, with just 49 points sep
arating the first from the last.
Vernon is, at present. In fifth place
again by reason of Oakland wmning in
the North. Sacramento seems hopelessly
out of it in last place, but has ' been
playing a great article of ball during
the last few weeks and will make all
the teams step some to take games
from them.
It is possible for San Francisco to jump
into the lead tomorrow if they take both
games from the Senators. All local fans
are rooting hard for Oakland to be suc
cessful against Portland, for a victory
for the Oaks means a great boost for
the S;als in their fight for the pennant.
