Mfxl doubles Miss Valleau (la mbda. Cal.) and Ella Fottrell (San Francisco). BT RALPH H- MITCHELL. Sometimes champions are made, but more often they are born and five new ones were born In Portland yesterday. Miss Irene Campbell, of Portland, is women's tennis champion of Oregon; William Johnson, of San Francisco, is men's singles champion; Mrs. Northrup, of Portland, paired with Mtss Lilly Fox, of Portland, is another, and Ella Fot trell, also of San Francisco, paired with young Johnson, is still another. Miss Fox Is getting used to being a member of a doubles champion team, for last year, paired with Miss Stella Fording, she first won the state championship In women's doubles. Miss Fording, Brandt H. TVIckersham, Misses Fording and Valleau, Alameda, Cal., and AVIckersham and Goss were the runners-up and also the losers In the state tournament, which ended yes terday. nig- Crowd Sees Play. It was a large and sometimes en thusiastic tennis crowd which saw the new champions created and former champions go down to defeat. In one or two instances it was bitter defeat, too, but all's fair In tennis, except los ing one's temper, and that's not only not fair, but poor policy. Johnson, the 17-year-old California lad who defeated Wickersham, had things hfs own way ail the way through three straight sets, which he took from "Wick" by the scores 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Of all cool, confident and easy players, young Johnson leads all who have been seen of late years on Port land courts. It is not wondered that Foley did not, defend his Oregon title this year, though his cat-like move ments on the courts, with Johnson's slow, calculating, heady work would have made interesting tennis to see. Wickersham worked hard, played to win at first, but forgot himself in the last set particularly, and as a result several double faults were recorded against him, much to the regret of his supporters, and there Is no gainsaying the fact that almost every Portland spectator was pulling for him. Womei'i Doubles Kxrttlns;- Of the morning matches, the wom en's doubles proved the most interest ing and the most exciting, as there was some doubt as to who would win. it being taken for granted by some that Miss Valleau Alameda, Cal.) and Miss Fording (Portland) would win, though not without a hard fight. As it was. Miss Fox and Mrs. Northup turned the tables on the state champion and her visiting teammate and won hands down. 6-3, 6-3. Miss Fording soon after the start lost her eye for the ball and smashed it repeatedly Into the net or outside, much to her own discomfort and the Joy of her opponents. In the women's consolations. Miss Fox again won her match from Mrs. H. E. Judge, Miss Fox taking the match 6-3. 6-3. Mrs. Judge, though playing a better game than early In the season or last year, still Is nervous In tour nament play, and fails to use her head at critical points. On the contrary. Miss Fox plays to win, and never forgets her placing game. Though she Is weak Jn overhead work, she handled every return In excellent style In her play yesterday. In the men's consolations. McCormlck had a comparatively easy time winning his match with Harrtgan yesterday morning by the scores of 6-2, 6-1. Mc Cormlck. who Is high school champion of Southern California, which honor he won at Long Beach last month, was a happy boy yesterday, for he was in receipt of a telegram from his parents permitting him to continue play in the Northern tournaments, soIt Is prob able that he mill go North with Fot trell and Johnson and be seen in the Vancouver, Victoria, Tacoma and Seat tle as well as Kverett play. Two Divld Honors, In the men's doubles match, Fottrell and Goss divided the honors and It was pretty tennis from the start. Wicker sham was clearly on his game and at times Johnson didn't care. Tet the three straight sets. 6-4, 6-3, 6-1. which the Calif ornlan took from the Portland men are evidence enough that K Fottrell would win a few points his team mates could afford to prac tice a few clever strokes on his op ponents. And Johnson did. and some of his strokes were beauties after he got tlicm to work as he wanted. Then it was that smiles of satisfaction would enlighten his countenance and even the crowd had to laugh sometimes when the losing home team fell before the onslaughts of one of the best ever seen here. Goss. for the Portland team, played a surprisingly strong game and handled some of Johnson's and FottrelTs re turns with dexterity, and some he didn't, but then not even Bundy or McLaugh lin last month could handle all of them. Goss might have shown up to much better advantage had he not at tempted to play the whole game, par ticularly when he was serving. He was out of wind before the first set had been lost, and his continual de sire to reach the net before his serve dropped in his opponent's court proved too enticing for the visitors and beau tiful lobbing over the heads of the Portland team was the result, and many a point was lost on that account. In the play for the women's cham pionship, there was little doubt of the outcome after the first few games of the first set had been played, for Mtss Camp bell had taken the measure of her op-I ponent irom me start. Sue outplayed her opponent at all pofnts of the con test, as the scores of 6-0. 6-2 indicate. The honor of W eating the 1911 champion. Miss Fording, was one great ly coveted by the little girl and she deserves great credit tor the magnifi cent showing she made.

Tjtu Raymond Cobb, the grreatest ballplayer In history tn the eyes of many thousand admirers. Is the leading slupger of the major leagues, although he has been forced to third place In base stealing. The Detroit luminary is batting .406. against .400 for Heinle Zimmerman, the Chicago Cub inflelder, who tops the National League regulars Bums, of the New Tork Giants, holds first place among the batsmen of both leagues, but he has performed in but IS games, while the latest available Figures show Cobb in 70 ond Zimmer man in 68. Milan, the Washington outfielder, is the base-thlevlng sensation of the ma jors, with 43 stolen sacks io his credit. Eddie Collins, of the Athletics, ranks second with 31. while Cobb comes third with 38. Bob Beecher, of Cincinnati, the leading National League oase-run- ner, is cr.eauea wun . teammate of Eddie Jiensor. neii in line with 21. The National League has a prepon derance of .300 batters so far this sea son, the records showlns 33 against 20 for the American circuit. In the list of 33 appear the names of Crovath, a former Coaster, and Seaton, once Beaver twlrler. Seaton is hitting .300, with Cravath s mark .318. "Chick-' Gandil. formerly with Sacramento, is sixth in the Americon League roll of .300 swat ters, with an average of .331. Other players recently from the Coast League are batting as follows: Bodle, .295; "Duffy" Lewis. .279; Fournler, .270; Olson. .263; Vltt. .256: Hallinan. .241: Ryan, .236; Peckinpaugh, .223; Zeider. .216; ilaggert, .207; Hogan, .201; Cutshaw. .262; Ellis. .250. GlaMt Twlrlera Loom. The success of the New York Giants is not to be wondered at when it is considered that the first four National League hurlers entitled to positions as regulars wear Gotham uniforms. They are, in order of standing, Marquard. Tes'reau, Crandall and Ames. Eddie Plank, of the Philadelphia Athletics. Is the real twirling leader of the American League, with 12 victories and twodef eats. Bill Steen had won four and lost one game when the fig ures were compiled, placing him in the .S00 class. Gregg had won nine and lost four. Krapp won two and lost four, while Byron Houck. the Portland youngster sent tp the World's Cham pions from Spokane, Is near the last, with only one victory against four de feats. However, Houck, Gregg and Steen have fattened percentages since the records were tabulated. . The leading batsmen and pitchers of the major leagues follow: National league Batting Arerages.

JONES REGIME NEW TO BASEBALL HEBE President of Northwestern Has Yet to Fine or Sus . pend Player. THINGS DIFFERENT NOW Active Leader of League, "Standpat" Managers and Corps of Capa ble Umpires Lead to Sitna tlon Unknown Before. BY JAMES H. CASS ELL. In marked contrast to the North western League Donnybrook Fair of 1911 has been the 1912 administration of the circuit under Fielder A. Jones.

As a result the North- - TAao-i.A BTfln hpmlrlofl flfar as one of the Joke organizations of base ball. This season the players, accustomed to maltreating umpires without rebuke, ran up against a snag in the shape of. an active president, "stand pat" man agers, and a corps of umpires as ca pable as any ever seen in the circuit. Bowdyism has suffered a decline as a result, and patrons and players are thriving under an able and self-respecting management which is stern, but not too harsh for best baseball results. rr,A n. in a n v lAiriiA. the nresldent has had complaints regarding umpires, but none of them have moved Fielder Jones to contemplate a change in the personnel of his starr. rresiaeni uu& dottle rrntesten" the work of Ump'ire Van Haltren.

The Na- Penalty Causes Bitter Feeling When ex-Champions Are Ordered Not to Play Two Men. VANCOUVER, B. C July 20. The rivalry between Vancouver and New Westminster on the La Crosse field tnnir a new form today, when it was announced that there would be no game in Vancouver today. Great bitterness was occasioned last week by the result of the game at Westminster, ' when it was declared that the former champions were robDea by the Vancouver referee, who was mobbed by angry fans. Last Satur day's game was rough and the La Crosse commission, wnicn controls tue iime in British Columbia, ordered that two of the Westminster players should be penalized by being suspend ed for one game each. That the team might not be weak ened, the commission arranged that both men should not be put off for the same game. Westminster took the matter to heart and officials of the club declared that both men might an well be suspended for the same game. The commission agreed and then came the announcement that there would be no game because Westminster could not field a team.
