After but five dava" training, tha ath latea beaan their playing: In the warm climes of the Antipodes- Matches were played thick and fast, four games be inar played In elajht days. Thla strenu ous achedule waa too much for eome or xhe bora, and In the fourth game they were "all In." Aa a consequence they wore overwhelmed by the Maori team fcy the ecore of 21 to 1. The firat aame played with the Maori am reaulted In a 14-11 victory for the 11 aorta. The first half ended with the Americana leadlnc. H-0. but the na tlvee hit. their true atrlde and ran up The acorc In the second half. Many Star Gathered. Perhaps nen-r before waa there such an assemblage of football men as waa aeen In Auatralla at the time the Americana were there. Included In the Maori trams waa the cream of all the native playere from that section. To this galaxy of siara were added the Americans, the Australians and the y.w Zealand All-Black" team, then In Australia for the purpose of playing tiie crack Australians for the cham pionship. The New Zealand players are recog nised over the world as the premier Ruaby playera of the world. The "All-ta-ks". team In New Zealand corre sponds to the All-Amerlcan team In the United States. Numbered among the ranka of the -All-Blacks" were some of the atar playera of the world. When these men and the All-Aus-tratla team met for the championship while the Americans were there, the grandest series of football games ever ' witnessed waa played. The Australians. for the flrat time- In the hlatory of con ' testa between the two Islands, won a game from the New Zealandere. This waa the second game of the series. The flrat game waa captured by New Zea iand. A crowd of 45.000 people assembled to see the third and deciding contest. The actlona of the two teama can well be compared to clockwork, but with an added touch of brilliancy which rould not be termed mechanical. With tie partisans loudly rooting, the teama battled through the first half only to emerge with the acore tied. New Zealand Defeats Rivals. In the second half both teama acored aoon after play began. The score waa 11-11 when, with 'a big. well-timed whnop the New Zealand team hit their winning gait and commenced piling up the scores at will. The game ended -T-13 and the football championship waa won and lost, but only after a most brilliant aerlra of games. The members of the Maoris. New Zealand. Australian and American trams posed for a photograph. A re production of the photo la found In to day's paper. The American team played before an aasemhlaae of 34.000 enthuslaatlc fans during one game. The people on the I. lands take to Rugby like Americana to baseball, and larae crowda are the rule rather than the exception. In every city of New Zealand. Maori and Auatralla were found scores of football teama. some having aa many aa teams. These cities choose representa tlil teams to play vlaltlnc agarega tiona aucb aa tha touring Americana. There t!.e American squad had to com bat the p!ca of the players of each sec tion. These teama were railed "rep" or provincial teams. The first games played upon arrival In Sydney by the Amtrh-ini were with the Sydney 1'nlverslty. Two gamea were played, both being won by the home ag arrest Ion. tha first IT- and the second lo-a. This gama waa one of the best played on the entlra lour. KJcht matches were played In Australia and six In New Zealand. Of these three were won. two wrre tlrd and nine were lost. The trip to the Antipodes was made at the Invlfattoo of the combined football ao-tartone of tha three Islands. Their expenses were paid. Tha Americana earned murh knowledge from the oppos ing playera. Teams Evenly .Matched. The average weight of the American playera was about ITS pounds. The op posing; teama averaged the same, mak ing It a battle between physical giants. Centrarv to tha general opinion that more men are hurt playing Rugby than tha American game Is the report brought bark by tha Nevada-California boya. Trif) report only one Injury. That was a rokn collar bone sustained by one of tha Australian players. None of the AmerU-sn plarrs were hurt. The homeward-bound athletes report r.In- received the very finest of treat ment on every hand and were loud In their praise of the hospitality of their hot. Although soma grand sights were seen In Australia the scenery was more mor.otous than that In New Zealand, where a variety of pretty placea met llielr ees.

L. Evans, owner of Srhelagh. the rival entry In this spe cial event. Both Evans and Murphy have been rivals for some time, and their discussions of the relative merits of their two horsea resulted In the mak ing of this special match. Sis Merldan started off like a loser, for she behaved badly at the start, but this disadvantage was aoon offset be cause Schelagh broke badly and Evans had great difficulty In bringing the mare back to her atrlde. and. In the meantime. Murphy brought Sia Merldan up from the rear and took the lead, maintaining it to the wire. It was a keen struggle between two good horses, and the victorious owner waa congratu lated on all sides' at the conclusion of the third and final heat, for It waa for the best three In five and Murphy's mare won three straight heate.

The fact that the Everett players are entered in the open handicap tourney as well as the play for the handsome Starr Reynolds trophy, has caused added Interest In the play, which undoubtedly will bring out some of the prettiest tennis seen on the Irvlngton courts since the state tournament. Young Gus Wakeman, one of Portland's most promising tennis players, yesterday won the challenge round at the Breaker tournament, defeating James F. Ewing, the cup holder.

With Xew Coach, Four Years Full back at Lafayette, Arriving Soon. Fast Squads Are Promised. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Aug. 27. (Special.) Although in the pre-season forecasts. Whitman Is given little reckoning In the football field of the Northwest, things are by no means as gloomy at the local college as they were two months ago: and the pub lishing of the new rules has brought new hope to the missionaries. Whit man will have a team-as heavy as that of last year, and the men will be equal In experience and ability to last year's team, with tho exception of Borleske. George S. McCaa, the new coach, four years fullback at Lafayette Col lege and picked by many as the best at this position' In tho East, comes with a record that brings him prestige among the students. He has not nearly as hopeless a task as did Blanchard. two years ago. when he came to Whitman and turned out a team that was respected throughout the Northwest more than any team the college has ever had. And the team this year will be built along the same lines- as was that two years ago. Fast, not over heavy or over light, and well seasoned, they will make a reckoning In the Northwest, de spite the fact that Whitman will not "have all the old men back." The new rules, making play more open, and science still farther ahead of mere weight, mean much to the Whitman team. McCaa has been assistant coach at Lafayette. He played . four -years at fullback, and is said to be a master of the forward pass and the open game. Walter Camp has always mentioned him, and last year put him on his third team. The Philadelphia Press, nearer home, where it could watch him more rloselv could not say enough in his praise, and put him on Its first team. He Is an even six feet tau. ana weigns 195 pounds. H will arrive. In Walla ' Walla September 15 to take charge of the Kali athletics. The team will be headed by Charles Lewis, one of the best ends the college has 'ever known, and the very best since the days of "Curly" Spagle. He weighs 155 pounds, and is fast and sure on catching forward passes and on picking up onslde kicks. He has with him from last year Alf Belt, quarterback, of Spokane, who weighs 145 and is a heady and hard player. Tracey Cox.'who is second to Borleske in hard playing, will return, and will fill a position in the backfleld. Edson Johnson, last year's promising halfback, who was out of the jams with a bad ankle, will return to take his place behind the line. With Royal Nlles, of the Belllngham Normal, who comes to Whitman this year, one who should prove the best punter in the whole conference. Whitman will have a backfleld that Vould be hard to Im prove. With Howard on the end to play with Lewis, the back field and end position will be well taken care of, with experienced men, and. weigh ing an average of 155 to ISO pounds. Clemens will not play center this year, although he will be in school. Bennington, of last year's second team, is a likely candidate. At guard will be Blomquist. Botts, Cleman, Whit ney and Dresser to try out. Neill. the heaviest man on- tho team at 19$ pounds, will be back, and with him will be several old men trying for position to play between guard and end. They Include Dumas. Rolstad. McCoy and a number of others who can be used either In the line or. back of It. "There is no cause for gloom as far as we are concerned," says President Fred Clemens, of the Associated Stu dents of Whitman College. "We will not have a heavy team, but it will be heavier than that of two years ago. We will have a faster team than we have ever had. and I expect to sec Whitman win her share of the games this year, - and I. for one, am willing to stake anything we are not In the cellar when the season is ended. I feel well pleased with the outlook and in getting McCaa for coach am confident wc have all the best of the bargain over last year or two years ago." ENGLAND CHARY AS TO FILMS Promoters Hesitate at Paying $70,- 000, in View of Uncertainty. LONDON, Aug. 26. The first moving pictures of the Reno fight on this side of the Atlantic are being shown In Dublin this week, and are drawing crowds, but they are not expected to be on view In England for some weeks yet. , This delay has occasioned consid erable surprise, but It Is understood that the proprietary syndicate In Amer ica finds difficulty In obtaining the terms which they demand for the Euro pean rights. They are asking S120.000. of which the English rights represent $70,000, charging In addition $1250 for each film. The English bioscope promoters are Chary at giving so much, as it is un known yet to what extent the municipal authorities will- allow the pictures to be shown. The London County Coun cil has already notified the picture peo ple that they will prohibit the exhibi tion,, as also have the authorities of Liverpool and of one or two other cities. ' LONG AND HOTCHKISS VICTORS California Tennis Cracks Win Cham pionship With Ease. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Aug. 27. (Special.) Melville Long and Hazel Hotchklss are the singles tennis cham pions of California for the ensuing year, and Melville Long and Ward Daw son will hold the Uoubles title. The championship titles were decid ed on courts of the University of Cali fornia today, before a large gatherng of enthusiastic followers of the sport. While the matches were one-sided, as expected, they were replete with action, and those 'In attendance were well re paid for their visit. E. Fottrell opposed Melville Long in the finals of the men's singles, and the youngster made a fairly good showing, though Long won Jn three straight sets. M. E. McLoughlln, last year's champion, was not on hand to defen. his title. Miss Hazel Hotchklss won from Miss Goda Meyer In straight sets, by scores of 6-2 and 6-4, but the match was real ly closer than these scores would in dicate. The little champion's drives and smashing were really remarkable for a woman. She had fully aa much speed In the majority of her strokes as most men.

Today will mark the Seals' last ap pearance In Portland this season, for the Mohlerite crowd is not scheduled to come North when the Beavers return for their last home stand. The Beavers bumped Henley at op portune times yesterday, for hits came Just when needed during the matinee, or at least during the part of the en gagement Henley occupied the slab. Eugene Krapp had the Seals on his staff throughout, and might have worked harder and scored a shutout had it been neccessary. However, his teammates secured an early lead and Gene took things easy. i . Gus Fisher wound up the game by making a great catch of Shaw's foul against the grand stand in the ninth Inning. Two men. were out at the time, and Fisher's catch sent the bugs home talking about him. - Buddy "Ryan's score in the seventh was a plain gift by Berry, though the outer gardeners of the Seals might have flagged Buddy at third had they been able to intercept 'the ball after it got by Klddicus Mohler. . . - Perle Casey's work arond that sec cond sack yesterday was all to the candy. The veteran second sacker seems to be younger and more spright ly than ever, judging by his activities in the recent games. . Gus Fisher is suffering a slump In batting. and yesterday McCredle dropped the slugging catcher down in the batting order, but it did not do Gus any good, for he only came close to getting a hit once, and Tennant smeared that chance for him.
