TITE STTXnAT OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 3IAY ,.1, 1911. - 4 EBON COB TO DEFEND TITLE State Tennis Champion Leave Ranch to Wield Racquet Again. to HOTCHKISS RUMORS OUT Woman's Slate Tltleholder and Na tional Champion Likely at not to Be Seen on ortland Court This Year. Nat Emerson, of North Yakima. Wash., will defend hie title to rtata champion, which he won last year at the Oreg-on etate play here on-th Multnomah Club courts In July. Ac- cording to his plans noy outlined In priTi ogrrtiponoeDco 10 inn city re ceived yesterday. Mr. Emerson plana to art In trim during1 the latter part of the International tournament, perhaps or playing one or two exhibition matches with Wlckersham. Gorrlll or Andrews, and thus be prepared for his work In the state tournament He will then take In the play at Vancouver, B. C. the week of July 14. In the Brltian Columbia Mainland champion ships Chairman McAlpln or Brewer may attempt to match Northwest Champion Bernard Schwengers and Emerson for an exhibition during the stay of both crack players in the city. That such a move would be an atlded attraction to ny tournament is conceded. Cmtrion Is now on his ranch near North Vaktma, but It Is said he has constructed a tennis court of his own. and Is playing hard every rood day. !olrlikl Humor Out. Thou a-h rumors hare been current that Mia Kasfl Hotchkiss would not appear on the Oregon courts this year, not even to defend her title of stale champion. It Is Klven out that It Is as much a probability that she will come north as there la that she will not It Is the knowledge of those who know Miss Hotchkl that she Is not Inclined to announce too previously what her future enraaementa are. as It is not customary for the Misaea Sutton to let Wins Hotchkiss know what dates they have arranged, or where they will play, and Miss Hotchkiss doesn't fro out of her way to let the Misses Sut ton know what "he Is doing. Apropos to tennis champions and championship clas.-. the following com ment by A. K. Crawley, an English au thority on tennis. Is Interesting and timely as affecting the year on the British courts. He says: "The year promises to be phenomenal In International Interest. There will certainly te a Davis cup competition, and probably in Knttland. In the early portion several Australian players of note will be going around our tourna ments, and at Wimbledon there will be an unparalleled attack upon the cham pionship. This (we have It on official authority) is the world's championship. IViur Good Ones Named. "Peals C. Wright, of Boston, who aire- so near to It last year, will not be here. But America s champion. W. A. I-arned. and the three amaxlng young CaUfornlans. Bumly. McLoughlln and 1-ong. are coming. Their advent will be momentous. "Larned's around play Is English; hia Came has no peculiarities and no weak ness. Few men have had more experi ence or possess a finer record, and no one Is a better general. If he gets throuah and meets Wilding the result will be great "Rundy's rise last year was meteoric In brilliancy. He beat Wright, and nearly beat I-arned In the challenge round of the I'. S. A. championship. He and the two other men are new to Eng land. Long and MrLoughlln are to be classed with Alexander for brilliance and severity. This American contin gent Is the strongest that any country has ever sent to Wimbledon. It con tains a large proportion of that on qurrlng quality known as genins. "Australasia. In Its turn, sends R. W. Heath. Dunlnp and Doust Dun lop has d'n great things as Brookes' partner; Brookes was beaten by Wilding , and Parker. Three years ago the most spectacular figure In the lawn tennis world, he Is still to be reckoned with. T'nfortunately there aeema no hope of his coming. Latest advices speak of his making a golf tour in the States. Doust Is the quickest and one of the best volleyera. but he Is not likely to reach the final stage. South African Here. "If. aa is hoped. South Africa, and America play their Davis cup tie In England, the South Africans will aouot less take part In the championships. "The appearance of the young Ger mans, the brothers Klclnschroth. will be Interesting. One haa defeated Froltshelm: they are not unlike the Pohertys In style and personality. F"roltshelm will probably not compete. Of late he has been a disappointing player. F. W. Kahe ran Wilding a few weeks ago to five sets. He. Is a fine player and haa improved, but genius Is not yet to be ascribed to hia game. "England will have to rely on" Its youngest players. Gore, the embodi ment of British virile pluck, will com pete, but he Is past hia prime. Ritchie and Barrett will have no chance against any of the Americans or Brookes, of the younger men, C P. IMxon Is the oldest and most experi enced, but. fine and reliable player as he la. he la not quite up to champion ship form. He Is slow against strong men. and against weaker men la fond of losing a set or two. "Last year the brothers Lowe came right to the front But there Is not much character' In their game. Craw ley and Parke possess this quality, but they are not reliable, aa the Lowes certainly are. Of the others. Mavro gordato Beamish and K. Powell are the best, but a class below those already mentioned. Zimmerman la a young player of extraordinary promise, but he rarely plays. J. M. Boucher, the equal of S. H. Smith.' cannot be per suaded to compete, neither will E. R. Allen, who beat Gore, giving him a ' sixth, last ygar. ever be tempted to Wimbledon. "Our chances are slight, but ww have 1 young players of great possibilities, and yon never can tell. One of them may arrive." i Britons Sail to Box With Americans. 80VTHAMPTON.

CRITICS IN EAST SING HEW TONE Ad Wolgast No .Longer Called Fluke Champion, Says J. J. Corbett. REASON FOR PREJUDICE ) Conceit Makes Cadillac Boy TJnpop- tilar; Defeat Is Predicted for Owen Moran In Bout With -. Michigan Champion, BY JAMES J. CORBETT. MANCHESTER, N. H.. May. 6. (Spe cial.) Eastern boxing critics are sing ing a "different tune these fine Spring days when the light-weight champion ship and the possibility of a successor to the present title holder are under consideration. Wolgast has never been what you might call a great favorite with metropolitan sporting writers, anil after the recent bouts with "Knockout ' Brown the Michigan boy was lambasted verbally right and left by the men whose opinions cut ice in Eastern box ing circles. Ad was referred to as a fluke cham pion, most critics giving Brown credit for two victories over the Cadillac Kid, although the more conservative were Inclined to let matters go at a draw, while really close observers opined that Wolgast had a shade, inasmuch as he was doing about all the fighting near the finish of the bouts. Tiriio-ast nrtv is not the classy sort of boxer, but be can fight a bit in the rough and ready way tnai maa ti tling Nelson famous. So prejudiced were the. scribes that they could not see a single redeeming feature in his work and labeled the -Kid" an -excuse ,,mtilnn As a rule New York news paper men are fair when It comes to giving decisions and expressing opinion of a boxer's merits. ;rne average duki no matter where he hails from, may feel confident that he will be given the kindest treatment by the critics, but in Wolgast'a case It was different. Ad's Attitude- Responsible. I am Inclined to the view that Ad's rather "cocky" way of carrying mm self about and of talking of his prowess in the ring brought down the wrath on his own and his manager's heads. Con ceited boxers are not wanted in jsew Tork, or elsewhere for that matter, and when the cllamplon set foot In Gotham and began to talk in his breesy way his popularity began to drop like the mercury on a rero day. A bit of conceit is not a bad thing for an athlete, and if I were handling a stable of boxers I would try to in still them with some of that essential quality. My friend, John McGraw, man. tfger of the New Tork Giants, tens me one conceited ball player is worth a dozen who have limited .respect for their own abilities, and with a few exceptions I think he is right. Take Ty Cobb, the wonderful player of the Detroit team, for instance. Report has It that Ty entertains such a good opin ion of hlmBelf that he has made many enemies among hi9 fellow players, but we all know wnat a nign class per former ho Is. If the Detroit club was to place his services on the market there Is no question that the offers would break all records for high fig ures. But I am digressing, and base ball la not what I started to write about, although, being a full fledged fan, never know when to stop when on the subject. Proves lie Can Fight. To get back to our knitting, Wolgast proved beyond the shadow of a doubt In his last contest, the two-round mix with tins Round" Hogan, that he can fight, and that the man who will toe the scratch and exchange wallop 'for wallop with the champion is not going to last long. The iron physique of the little Michigander assimilates punish ment until his opponent is leg and arm weary and too weak to administer ore and then the finishing touches. Wolgast is the same type of fighter as his predecessor. Nelson. , When Ad and Moran meet In Califor nia I am confident the title will not change hands. In commenting upon the probable outcome of this fight when the boys were matched I ventured the opinion that Wolgast will win over the Briton, and this is in the face of all the "toasting" as a "cheese" cham pion he was being handed by the press in general. . I argued that the cham pion would greatly Improve his form over that displayed against Brown and his recent fights have proved it be yond question. It must be remembered that prior to the Brown bouts the champion had been out of the ring for months with a broken arm, and in the Philadelphia and New York six ami 10-round affairs he was content to fight with something in reserve and take no unnecessary chances of again hurting the arm before he was sure It had properly set. Those contests were largely in the nature of tryouts lor the champion. Moran Must Win Quickly. Moran may outhox Wolgast for 10 rounds or so, but If he cannot put over the damaging punch within that time limjt will not have a ghost of a chance. Owen has always been, a great little man, a much better boxer-than the public gave him credit for, but until he won over the Battler the sports did not take his championship aspira tions seriously. And, as usual, they have attached too much importance to that victory. When one stops to re merabor that the Dane was far from be ing at his best at the time and was decidedly on the down grade, Wolgast having put the finishing touches to the once great fighter, Moran's victory will not, or at least ought not to, Instill his friends and backers with the belief that the Englishman is a world beater. If more evidence is necessary I refer them to the McFarland -Moran bout of more recent date in which the Chl cagoan easily demonstrated his supe riority. There Is one man in the game who can give the champion a battle and, I believe, wfcip him over any route. In a limited cc-Jnd contest there would be nothing to it and the result would be tho same over the Marathon. It Is my opinion that Packey McFarland is the only boy in the division who can do the trick, and do it with a knockout. His wonderful cleverness and capacity to administer punishment and to escape damaging return, to my way of think ing, would make him a sure victor over the champion. And I am convinced that Wolgast and Jones, his manager, feel the same way about it. and for that reason will not match with Packey unless the latter agrees to weigh in at 133 ringside. - Lightweights Dodge McFarland. Paclcey Is sore over the way the boys in the division are inclined to dodge and use the weight subterfuge to avoid boxing him. He claims to be a legitimate lightweight and entitled to the right to battle for the title. In sup port of his claim he points to the fact that the old-time champions. Lavigne. Erne and Cans, generally fought out their disputes at 135 or 136, weigh In during the afternoon, and until Nel son was champion there was no such thing as a 133-pound limit. Mac says to satisfy the sporting public that he Is a lightweight he will agree to make the disputed figure If Wolgast will box him for the championship, but that weigh ing In time is to be In the afternoon not later than 1 o'clock. It is a cinch that Ad will turn Packey down hard, and while I do not in a way blame the boy for taking on all the easy marks first, what is he going to do when the supply runs out? If the champion defeats Frankle Burns and Owen Moran, which Is most likely, there will not be much material to work on outside of K. O. Brown; and I think he would be easy for Ad in a long bout. As fight followers the country over have come to look upon McFarland as the best man In the class, the champion may find it rather .' embarrassing at times to explain his reasons for not giv ing the Chicago boy a chance at the title. All Qolet In Heavyweight Ranks. Sporting scribes can thank the light weights for furnishing material to write about. Really, there Is hardly anything of Import happening In the other divisions of professional pugilism The heavyweight situation Is dormant We hear an occasional word from Johnson, but nothing about fight. Al Kaufman's press agent now and then tells us how the big boy is training on the road for that Important affair with Jim Flynn, of Pueblo. Which is sure some comedown after 'the big noise about boxing J. Arthur Johnson for the championship. Sam Langtord, the lo quacious one from Boston, has been mum as an oyster since his return from abroad. Outside of , the few "w..lte hopes," who nave not as yet been put to the acid test, there is no one else worth considering. Former Champion James J. Jeffries has been "vacationing" in New YorK, and, always a taciturn individual. It has been next to impossible to get a word . out of him on the subject of boxing. An enterprising youth started a story that an attempt would be made to match the big fellow with Carl Morris, the Okla homa engineer, who aspires to the place once so proudly held by the Callfornlan. Jeff would more than likely throw the man out of a window were he to make any such proposition to him. I do not believe Jeff ever will fight again. He had all he wanted of it at Reno that eventful Fourth of July. At that, a man can change his mind. He has the privilege of doing so, and time may have healed up the soreness, but, if. I am any judge, there is not the slightest chance of. his exercising that prerogative. A match between Jeffries and Morris would run a bona fide championship contest a close second as a money-get ter, if nothing else. Jeff's "friends' have contended that the big fellow was "doped" the day of the Johnson fight. I have argued his condition was the result of nervous breakdown, due to the terrific strain attendant upon the approaching contest. If Jeffries were to make a reappearance In the ring and clean up the youngster without much trouble he would go a long way to wards re-establishing himself in th hearts and affections of the sport-lov lng public. I am merely stating what might be, and do not entertain the thought that the big fellow will ever put the gloves on again. As for Mor rls, the sooner he Is given a real try out the better for him. The dead ones ho has met to date furnish us with no line on his ability. . They have an odd way of determining championships In England since Mcin tosh butted into the game. Formerly all Important battles were held at the National Sporting Club. Recently Gun ner Moir knocked the daylights out of Bombadler Wells at the -Australian's club, and supposedly won the cham plonshlp of England. The other day this same Wells met and defeated Ian Hague and was awarded the title and belt by the national organization. Rath er odd mixup, what? Where does Moir come in? He beat Wells fairly and squarely and won with a knockout. GREGG AND WP UNO Portland graduates find BERTH OX XAP TEAM. Olson. It I Feared, AVIU Soon Be Relcased-May Go to New Orleans Through Deal. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 6. (Spe cial.) Vean Gregg and Gene Krapp have "made" the Cleveland club. That is,, no' one believes right now they are destined for the lower grades this sea son, and It is pretty near a safe wager that they will be numbered among the regulars on Cleveland's pitching staff. For Portland's two graduates seem to possess the requisite amount of ability to warrant them permanent Jobs, al though to date they have done nothing that could be termed extraordinary. Krapp's reoord reads: Six games pitched; two victories and two defeats. He beat St. Louis and Chicago and lost to Detroit and Chicago. In his six times out' he has allowed 28 hits, has given almost the same ' number of passes and has struck out 32. The wee one s best game was against Chicago April 24. " He held Duffy's young club to five hits and two runs and fanned nine. That was the first time Krapp has gone the full distance, but he gave assurance that he Is cap able of the feat. Krapp's wildness is his worst fault. He is egtremely free with get-away tickets and rarely works without hit ting somebody. However, his lack of control, except in two games, was not the medium of run.-jrettlng by the op position. After losing sight of the plate he generally seems to get a bet ter range when the situation becomes the least bit threatening. This did not hold good Against De troit last week, though. Krapp dis pensed six Invitations in the first two innings against the Tigers and then came back to earth and pitched excel lently. But ho flew on another excur sion later in the game and at the close of the eighth . he - was succeeded by Harkness. Gregg's pitching percentage is .500. It should be .666. That's what It would have been had his co-workers done their duty In the first game of the. De troit series here. It is admitted gener ally that Gregg would have strung up the Tigers to a blank score with any kind of support. The Naps played loosely throughout the game, but espe cially In the eighth and ninth innings, and Gregg emerged a loaer. He gave a grand exhibition of hurling genius, however, and was undeserving of such fate. Even when his teammates were at the heights of their disjointed ef forts Gregg performed well. Manager McGulre kept Olson in the game every day last week and Nap Lajole said he has a permanent berth, but everybody concedes Olson will not do. There is some ground for this In the deal-which the Cleveland Club put through with New Orleans, giving Ol son's rival, Knaupp, for Lindsay of the Southern club. If Olson were of the right sort it Is certain Lindsay would not be needed. . The Portlander's hit ting Is about nil. Neal Ball probably will get into the game next week. j ANDREWS BRINGS HMMONYIN CLUBS Seattle Gives Way to Tacoma in Tennis Tournament Weeks' Wrangle.
