Vancouver has retained possession
of the Starr-Reynolds-Starr trophy, a
Portland cup, as the result of the ln-
ter-club championship play last week
between Victoria and Vancouver ten
nis players. This news was received
In Portland yesterday from E. Cave-
Browne-Cave, secretary of the North
Pacific International Lawn Tennis As
sociation. Schwengers, Canadian Cham
plon, won both of his matches In sin
gles.
Victoria challenged the Vancouver
holders of the trophy and lost by one
match. The scores follow:
B. P. Schwengers, Victoria, defeated
H. c. Evans, Vancouver, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.

Evans and A. E. Jukes. Vancouver,
defeated B. P. Schwengers and Garrett,
Victoria. 7-5. 4-6, 6-4.
.
It was a little or no surprise to Port
land tennis folk that Miss Maty
Browne, of Los Angeles, carried eff
the National tennis championship at
Philadelphia yesterday, for she had
things all her own way practically
through the tournament, losing not a
set and but few games.
Her defeat of Miss Eleanor Soars,
the Boston athletic girl, by the scores
if 6-4, 6-2. shows how easy It was for
her to win the championship, for there
was no opponent of her ability in thi
tournament. Miss Browne, with Miss
Green. Philadelphia, who played .In
the West here last year and was a
Portland visitor for a few days,' took
the women's doubles championship
after three sots, the last of which was
a love set.
Speaking of Miss Browne's showing
early In the week, the Philadelphia
Kecord Bays:
"Judging from the play in the wom
en's singles National championship at
the Philadelphia Cricket Club, St. Mar
tin's, yesterday of Miss Mary Browne,
of California, there is every probabil
ity that the West will again capture the
title. The California girl met Miss
Elizabeth Fox in the preliminary round
and defeated her In straight sets.
"Miss Fox put up an exceedingly
plucky game and in being beaten was
by no means disgraced. Miss Browne's
ton and Miss Hotchklss In that she ahe ? d " ivla ,n the base-running
DlavH more at the back of th. eoiirt " "l
and places the ball from side to side.
Her service is strong without being
phenomenal and her forehand and back
hand drives are far above those of the
average player. She may be able to
alter her style according to the player
she Is pitted against, but yesterday
she seldom came up to the net. Never
theless she demonstrated that she can
smash the ball from overhead when
required and seldom made a mistake
when doing so. She received a bye In
the second round through the default
of Mrs. Barger Wallach. who felt dis
inclined to play two matches in one
day."
The surprise of the National tourna
ment of women this year was the
non-appearance of either May or Flor
ence Sutton or the undefeated cham'
plon. Mrs. George Wightman (Miss
Hazel Hotchkiss). Mrs. Wightman de
dared after her marriage that be
coming a bride would not interfere
with tennis and she expected to con
tinue play, but it is rumored from
Boston, home of the fair tennis bride,
that she will forget the game for the
year but will be seen on the courts
asain next year.
It was expected the first of the week
that Mrs. Wightman would defend her
title of champion, but she later sent
word to the Philadelphia committee
that she had changed her mind and
would not go to Penn's town to play
this year, thus leaving the field open
to .Misses sears and Browne.
If the former California girl finds,
however, that she wants to play before
the year is out. Miss May Sutton, who
is conceded to be the world's best
woman tennis player, says she will
jrive her an opportunity to show her
mettle, if she would attempt again to
secure a hold on the world's title.
Miss Sutton, in Los Angeles, this
Week, advised the Mount Washington
Urn Tennis Association that If Mrs.
Wightman will come to this city she
will play her for the title In the big
sectional tourney that the association
plans to pull off the latter part of No
vember. The Mount Washington Association
has sent her an invitation to come West
and meet Miss Sutton. The famous
women players have met several times
and while Miss Hotchklss has beaten
Miss Sutton, the champion has the
larcr number of victories to her
credit.
Another match between these world
famous racqueters would be the crown
ing event of the Coast tennis season.
The proposed November tourney
will hrinsr together players from Brit
ish Columbia. Washington. Oregon, San
Kvanrlsco, Stockton and Southern Cal
ifornia. Ralph GorrilL of Portland, undoubt
edly will le one of Oregon's tennis rep
resentatives, and Jack Lewis may be
the other. Gorrill, in a local tourna
ment in Berkeley last week, defeated
Reuben G. Hunt, former Northwestern
champion. In a hard 3-set match. Gorrill
may come north In July to defend, with
Wlckersham, their title of champions In
the North Pacific doubles championship
play at Victoria.

Cruikshank, the stockv Portland out-
fielder, has entered the race for the
batting honors of the Northwestern
League, having come up rapidly the
last two weeks to a position command
ing respect from the leasrue leaders.
Wuffli, of Spokane, and Meek, of Vic
toria. The Spokane speed merchant
still leads, the Victoria slugger being
so close that a day s box score may
switch the pair about.
Behind the three mentioned above Is
Hap" Myers, elongated Spokane first
Backer, whose sensational work on the
bases has electrified the bugs all about
the circuit. With the start he has to
wards base-stealing honors, there Is no
reason why Myers should not hang up
a new record for the league in the Item
of swiped sacks. Vlnce Campbell
hooked 72 in 1909, the high-water mark
since the reorganization in 1901.
P. Cooney Is quita easily second to
Myers in the base-stealing contest, and
tne espoaane ciu-o is far and away
Pug Bennett Is the kins; pin run-
getter to date, and Puglets has been
playing the same old game that atamni
Uiim as the marvel of the Coast for his
age. There is no surer bet on the
book than that Bennett will bat
around .300 and run somebody a merry
chase for base-running and run-getting
honors every year.
One reason why the Seattle club has
been coming up the line lately shows
In the team batting table. The men
from Dugtown are stinging the ball at
a .265 clip, which leads all clubs. Spo
kane is third in team batting.

BT PORTCS BAXTER.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 15. (Spe
"cial.) Pick the winner in the North
western League pennant race and you
can make a barrel of money. Beg par
don, I forgot that betting is abhorrent
to the National game
One blanket will cover the bunch.
The leader of today is the tall-ender
tomorrow. I know a man who offered
to wager 6 against 10 that Seattle
would win the pennant. He had more
nerve than cool judgment, but the other
tellow was afraid to take him up,
Just now it is a toss-up, and don t
think that because Portland dropped
from first to last in 11 days that the
Colts are out of the race. They went
down because accidents broke up their
teamwork by putting leading players in
the hospital. If they get Mensor,
Cruikshank and McDowell back in the
game, and their pitchers hold anywhere
near form, look out for trouble. Any
club that takes a series from them will
feel like taking a vacation
Seattle appears to be coming stronger.
The word "appears" is used advisedly
In this Instance, because on several oc.
casions hope commenced to rise only
to be shoved rudely back.
Players Like Tealey Raymond.
Tealey Raymond is getting along
better than Jack Barry did because the
players all like him and at the same
time recognize the fact that he is the
field commander.
The leading topic during the last
week was the victory of Thompson over
Jimmy Clark, who had eight consecutive
wins to his credit before the props
were Kicked out from under him.
Clark allowed only three scattered hire.
as compared to nine off Thompson, but
the score was S to 2 in favor of Seat
tie. Two home runs, one by Raymond
and the other by Joe Wally, acting as
pinch hitter when a man was on base,
explains how Seattle got the three runs.
Vancouver had men on bases In eight
out of the nine innings, but the de
fense was so strong that they did not
reach the plate, except In the eighth.
when two doubles and a single netted
two runs.
Three-two games are not out of the
ordinary, but In this instance every
element of a great battle was present.
When the entire city is talking about
one game you may take it for granted
that something was doing.
If the New York Giants do not get
a great pitcher and fine all-around ball
player In big Will James then I am a
liar. John McGraw will dance an Irish
jig when he sees this young giant. The
lad will just as sure win the hearts of
the Gotham fans as he did the entire
bunch in Seattle.
The schedule In the Northwestern
League for the coming week brings
Spokane to Seattle, sends Tacoma to
Portland and places Victoria in Vancouver.
The following:, from the Columbia
County Dispatch, was sent me by a
person who desired to know if it were
true: - "Shea, who caught for Waits
burg, was kicked out of the North
western League for dirty ball-playing
and is barred from all Association ball
in the United States. In other words,
he's not a ball-player but a dirty
beefer,' whose chief aim Is to defeat
clean, manly ball-playlng."
If this article, was written about
Danny Shea, who formerly caught for
Seattle, it does him a great injustice.
Shea was never accused of dirty ball-
playing as long as he was in the
Northwestern League. He is a mar
ried man and his habits are of the best.
He was released by Seattle to Van
couver and subsequently released by
Vancouver because the club had too
many catchers He is not barred from
organized baseball.
Athletic Pitchers "Off."
The Philadelphia Athletics are lead
ing the American League in batting,
fielding, base-stealing and long-distance
slugging. And yet they are not
leading in the pennant race. The rea
son Is slmphs ptlchers not going well.
Ten Million is now leading off for
Sioux City, and hitting well.
After an exhausting chase we have
caught up with one wild rumor and
will not be traded to the St. Louts
Cardinals for Rube Ellis. James Gaff
ney, owner of the Boston Nationals,
has said this himself and he should
know, although the way the Eastern
papers shift the players about in their
gossip Is enough to make the owners
of clubs wonder what Is going on.

Walla Walla Defeats Boise, 6-0, and

Positions of the ball clubs . in the
Western Trl-State League remained
unchanged yesterday. Walla Walla de
feating La Grande, 4 to 2, and Pendle
ton beating Boise, 6 to 0.
At Walla Walla, Kelly's pitching was
too much for the La Grande men, the
Bear twirler holding his opponents to
fotfr hits, striking out 11 men and giv
ing but one base on balls? Etchandy
pitched good ball for La Grande, but
allowed enough hits in the first Inning
to let Walla Walla get two runs, a lead
which was not overcome.
W. Fox pitched at Pendleton and the
Pendleton players bumped him for
seven hits and six runs In the two in
nings. GImlin yanked him for Black
more, who kept his hits scattered. Gar

Stellar Pitching Combination. Keep
Victoria at or Xesr Head De
spite Dopesters Vancouver
Has Eye on Finals, Too.
BT JAMES H. CASSELL. '
Commencing tomorrow afternoon
Northwestern League baseball will be
Portland's diamond menu ' for three
weeks, the once-frolicsome Colts, who
have degenerated Into near-selling
platers, in three short series, plodding
weanily homeward.
The first week's struggle will bring
the Tacoma Tigers into the Vaughn
street lot for their initial 1912 appear
ance. Following the seven-game bout
with Mike Lynch's Bquad the Seattle
Potlatch Bugs, minus Manager Barry,
will play an eight-day engagement
with the Colts. The last week of the
final three-week home stretch will
bring the Vancouver club here for the
first time this season, the series open
ing Tuesday, July 1, furnishing a double-header
July 4 and ending July 7.
The fans who were beginning to turn
towards the Colts In an effort to at
tach themselves to a Portland pen
nant winner received a terrific Jolt
during the road trip that ends today.
However, the breach between first and
last place is only a few games and the
Colt chances of copping a bunting, de
spite an unfavorable schedule, are gen
erally considered 100 per cent better
than that of the Beavers in the Pacific
Coast League.
The recent past is lamentame to
dwell upon and it is hard to figure how
the Portland club could have made an
even break on the road with the me
diocrity of the pitching squad, but the
future wears a decidedly rosier nue.
The Colt hopes may be summed up
In a few lines the pitchers lookod
better at Spokane this week, Eddie
Mensor will be back in the game to
morrow and the full strensrth ot tne
squad. Including Ward McDowell and
the unlucKy cruiKsnans, win De pre
sented to the Montamara Festo lads.
With Mensor, the lead-on man, a
nlaver who would prove a bulwark of
strength to any club on the Pacific
Coast right now, back in harness, the
offensive strength of the Colts will be
increased at least 25 per cent. Add
McDowell to that, an Improved pitch
ing staff and the inspiration oi nome
siirroiindlna-s. and it is not hard to pre
dict that the Colts will win more than
half of the 22 games scheduled ior too
next three weeks:
However, it must not be overioosea
that the Colts need a change catcher
and another good pitcher. The East-
lev-Bloomfield-Tonneson-Lamline - v ea-
zey-Doty-Stanfleld combination looked
mighty good at the opening oi tne sea
son, but its performances nave not
been up to the league stanaaro. a sud
den recuperation would obviate the ne
cessity of another slabster, but the
need of a new bacKstop is imperative.
Harris is catching the best ball or
his career and seems to thrive on con
tinuous work. However, he is wonted
too hard and should he break down
under the strain or suffer an Injury,
many sames would be lost before ho
could be sent back into action or a sat
isfactory substitute secured. Moore's
work this season has been poor, with
out even the atoning virtue of bitting
the ball in the plnones.
Victoria la still proving the surprise
of the race, upsetting all of the dope
by consistently hovering at or near the
top of the percentage column.-
The Secret or tne victoria success
seems to lie in the stellar pitching
staff Nordyke and Wattelet have gath
ered together. The hurlers look the
best in the league, with every memDer
a consistent performer.
The Bees are proving a wonderful
road team and already many of the
Northwestern fans are pulling hard for
them to win the pennant. Few thought
they would survive the Nordyke leas,
but they kept on winning and now,
with Manager Lou back on the bench
and promising to be in the game by
August 1. they promise to keep five
other owners guessing before they
give up the fight.
Next week the Bees play Vancouver
on the Vancouver lot and if they sur
vive the series with the champions it
will be hard to count them out of the
running.
At the same time Spokane hooks up
with Seattle in Dugdale's diminutive
park. The Bugs are going fine now
and figure to take the series from the
Indians.
Vancouver, the team they will have
to beat to win the pennant, has been
lucky In having the services of such a
twirler as Jimmy Clark. The ex-Washington
University lad suffered his first
defeat the other day, but still leads the
league mound men. But for his stellar
work the Northwestern Beavers would
probably be within a notch of the cel
lar. If not actually inhabiting that de
spised position.
