Before the. largest assemblage of tennis devotees ever gathered In Port land, tne challenge rounds and the finals of the Oregon state tennis tour nament were played yesterday after noon on the Irvington Club courts, thereby ending the most successful tourney ever held In Portland. Hazel Hotc-hklss successfully de fended her title of Oregon woman champion against Marion Pitts, of Van couver, B. C. By winning her match from the British Columbia champion Miss Hotchkiss becomes permanent owner of the Alnsworth challenge tro phy, which she has won three suc cessive times. The Oregon and National champion woman racqueter was playing almost perfect tennis and disposed of Miss Pitts easily in two straight sets. Miss Pitts only took one game during the two sets, that was the first game. After that it was one, two, three for Miss Hotchkiss, although a number of those went to deuce before the Cali fornia girl was declared the winner. Emerson Defeats "Wickersham. Nat Emerson easily took the measure of Brandt Wickersham, ex-Oregon champion, and won the Ftske challenge trophy in three straight sets. The ex Western champion was a puzzle to Wickersham in the first two sets and allowed the Portland man but two Karnes in the two sets. Emerson slowed up at the beginning of the third set and Wickersham annexed the first two games and had the veteran 4-2 w-hen Emerson began to steam up and won out by 7-6. Emerson was In rare form and easily spread himself all over the courts when necessary. His ability to nail difficult ground balls and his work at the net was remarkable. His placing was very accurate, for time after time be would place the ball Into the cor ners or would pass his opponent with neatly placed line shots. His eye was perfectly trained. Wickersham played a good game, but was not In the same class with Emer son. The city champion was not as steady as usual and drove the, ball outside or Into the net many times. In the finals of the mixed doubles Miss Hotchkiss and Qorrill won from Mrs. noullhoux and Kwing easily in straight sets. Miss Hotchkiss played a stellar back-court game. 5rcat Game Seen In Doubles. In the best tennis seen in the tour nament. EmerBon and Andrews were beaten In the finals of the men's dou bles by Qorrill and Wickersham, but only after five sets of fast play Two of the sets were deuce sets and nearlv every game went to deuce. Not only that, but before a point was scored, a long rally, with clever volleying, usually preceded it. The older men took the first set 6-4. After a moment's rest the players changed courts and the youngsters, with the sun in their faces, speeded up and won the second set. 8-6. The order of things was re versed in the third set and Emerson and Andrews by consistent work won out, 8-6. After this the veterans tired rapidly and Gorrill and Wickersham easily took the last two and final sets by the scores of 6-4. 6-3, respectively. Emerson and Andrews played a star net game while the younger men were content to play a safe, lobbing game, with but little net work. Although they played good tennis. Miss Lilly Fox and Mrs. W. I. Northup were beaten by Miss Hotchkiss and Miss Leadbetter in two sets, 6-4. 6-2. Miss Leadbetter bore the brunt of the work on her side, for the opposing team played the ball to her In an endeavor to keep It from Miss Hotchkiss as much ns possible. The National champion, however, also had plenty to do. Munger Wins Consolation. Ned Munger. the Vancouver youth, won the consolation In three sets by beating Bond. The scores were 6-3. 6-1. 6-4. Previous to this Munger had beaten Gilbert and Bond had defeated Cooklngham.

ROBINSON TO DO HONORS AT ASTORIA REGATTA. Motor-Boat Races Over 90-Mile Course Will Be Chief of Aquatlo Sports. W. W. Robinson, a Portland business man and clubman, has been appointed admiral for the 15th annual regatta to be held at Astoria August 29, 30 and 31. The honor given the Portland man was the highest to be conferred by the Astoria regatta committee. At the last annual regatta two years ago. George S. Shepherd was selected as admiral. At the coming regatta various con tests on both land and water will be held. For these contests over $5000 in cash has been subscribed by Astoria business men as cash prizes. The re gatta to .be held next month is ex pected to eclipse any former regatta at Astoria. Included in the events to be held dur ing the regatta week at Astoria will be motor-boat and sailing races. For a free-for-all race between the crack motor-boats of the Coast, the regatta committee has hung up a cash purse of $1000. In this event Captain Spencer's Wolff II, Cox & Slattery's Pacer II, both of Portland: the Seattle Spirit, ofSeattle, and the Fighting Bob III, the present holder of the California motor-boat championship, and which halls from Sacramento, will strive for honors. This will be the greatest ar ray of motor-boats ever assembled on the Pacific Coast. The race will be over a 90-mile course, and will be run in 30-mile heats, one heat to be run each day. Besides the contest in the big motor boats class, races for other launches will be held. The regatta committee is endeavoring to have the gunboats Yorktown and Princeton present at the regatta that the bluejackets might par ticipate in the three days fun. Races between the crews of these ships In their yawls would. It Is believed, prove a good attraction. Races for 25-foot and 10-meter sail boats, fishboats and rowing races for four-oared crews will also be on the programme. These contests will be for either cash prizes or trophies. In ad dition to the aquatic sports, there will be baseball games, running races and tug-of-war contests. The Elks' lodge will play a promi nent part in the festivities of the week. Admiral Robinson is a pat exalted ruler of the Portland Elks. Admiral Robinson will choose his staff this week. LAXGE TELLS YARN ON ANSON Veteran Captain Lost Series When Dahlen Was Put Orr Train. BUI Lange, one of . the greatest bat ters baseball has ever known, who re tired at the height of his career to go Into business in San Francisco, tells the following story of old Captain An son: "The old cap was one of the gamest fellows you ever met- I remember one he put over on 'Bad BUI Dahlen. who Is now managing the Brooklyn team, that was a classic. Toward the end of the season one year we were on our way to play Cincinnati a series of four games. 'There was a good deal of rivalry between, us, and the boys were ail keyed up for the coming struggle. But there was a rule that helped put us out of business. I'll bring that in later. "Dahlen boarded the train in rather high spirits and made a bee-line for his berth. He fell asleep immediately ana the train started for the home of the Reds. Now, Anson had this rule that every player must get his ticket from him. It was one. way Anson had of keeping track of his men. Dahlen. of course,' pitched into a bunk and never thought to ask the captain for the piece of pasteboard. When the conductor made his rounds he gathered in all the fares but one. 'Bad Bill' didn't possess the color of a ticket. "Then the conductor sought out An son, but the captain Just pointed to the rule and -said that the ticketless sleeper would have to get off the train. Anson had $100 bet on the proposition that he would come out on the long end of the series. But he was game. The train was brought to a halt. Dahlen was hustled out of his com fortable slumber and set down at a milk station forty miles or so out of Chicago. Cincinnati beat us that series." Amateur Baseball Notes MANY of the local amateur teams are winding up their season each week. However, there ere still "many of the fast teams of youngsters in Portland playing the National game. Red" Ahem, of the Pop Corn Kings, is improving as an outfielder. He is a made-over inflelder. s s "Chubby" Arthur, the former Inter scholastic League phenom, still continues to twirl puzzlers to opposing batters. Young Tallihoe, who struck out 36 men in two games while twirling for the Ca lef Brothers nine and only allowing, one hit, is a comer. He is but 18 years old. . Fred Hummel, the diminutive center fielder for the White Caps, is a promising youngster who covers lots of territory and bats well. The Bleeg brothers, Fred and Charles, pitcher and catcher, respectively, for Hillsdale, are hard workers and a good battery. s - The Albina Juniors ere seeking a few games for Sundays. This fast aggrega tion of youngsters, is one of the city champlonship claimants. For games call Wood lawn 2359. In a recent game at Aurora between the team from that town and its neigh boring. city. Canny, the latter walked off the field in the eighth inning. The score stood 6 to 4 in favor of the home team. . "Nig" Herschler caught for Meier & Frank team last Sunday in its game with the Gill Butchers, which -decided the championship of the Columbia Hardware Company League In the latter's favor. Nig is catching a good game this year. Ed Deveny. of the Villa Cubs, is a consistent hitter and run-getter T. Mascot and B. Mascot, of the. White Caps, form a capable pair of guardians for the keystone sack. The Vernon youngsters triumphed over the Minnehaha team, of Vancouver, at the latter place on Sunday. They then gave them the "Haha." Joe Dorney. right fielder for Meier &. Frank, distinguished himself last Sunday by a nee running catchy WESTERN- GOLFERS OLYMPIC CUP GOES TO TEAM SCORING 615 STROKES.

The West ern Golf Association team today won the Olympic cup. the curtain raiser of the Western amateur golf champion ship, over the links of the Minkahda Club. The winners scored the record breaking total of 615, seven strokes be low the record set by the Western Golf Association team in the 1909 Olympic contests at the- Chicago Golf .Club. The intercollegiate quartet was sec ond with 646 and Michigan came third with 661. Minnesota turned in 665, Des Moines 667 and the Trans-Mississippi team 700. The Indiana quartet withdrew at the end of the morning round when J. I. Dllle disqualified himself by lifting his ball out of place. On the winning team three men turned in scores of 152 and the fourth got 159.

It makes the fans nervous to think of the possibility of beating Henley. - Everything broke nicely for the Seals yesterday and badly for the home team. Most of Portland's errors were on cinch plays which would ordinarily have been easy outs. In the sixth inning Portland pulled off a neat double play and one that was as exciting as it was neat. Vltt had been hit by pitched ball, and on Mohler's sacrifice. Sheehan to Rapps, he tried to take third, but Olson ran This American Gentleman Tailors 94 Sixth Street, Corner over and took Rapps' relay and fell on Vitt as he was sliding into the bag. It is seldom that such a sterling player as Billy Rapps will have such a bad day at baseball; for Rapps Is really one of the best f irst-sackers in tha league. If the Seals had butted in with any long drives yesterday it is hard to tell what would have been the score, but Seaton managed to confine them to one baggers, which helped a little. Some of the Portland fans are ac tually disgusting in the way they roast the home team. McCredie has a team that has occupied first place longer than any other club, yet the players get roasted unmercifully at times. ' Tommy Sheehan banged out a couple of hits on his last two trips to the plate, and It Is to be hoped that the little fellow will keep up the good work now that he has started. - Harry McArdle was indisposed yes terday, and "Hunky" Shaw held down the shortstop position. Shaw butted in with some fancy stops and throws, as well as getting a couple of binglets. Judge Thomas F. Graham, president of the Pacific Coast League, left last night for San Francisco. En route "South, Judge Graham will stop with his wife and daughter at Shasta Springs for a few days. Entry Big in Detroit Race Meet. DETROIT. July 23.
