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.

The success of the New York Giants
is not to be wondered at when it is
considered that the first four National

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

President of Northwestern

THINGS DIFFERENT NOW
Active Leader of League, "Standpat"
Managers and Corps of Capa

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.
TXTI. tti- naairnn thrpn months Old Pres
ident Jones has yet to fine or suspend

while the supporters oi tne maiwsp.

one of the Joke organizations of base

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

apparent inability of the Indicator 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. A fine of $500 and
perhaps the loss of franchise goes
with failure to put a team In the
field.

Strength of Vancouver, Spokane and
Seattle Lies in Batting, Fielding
and Extra Base Clouting as
Well as Pitching.
It is not hard to discover why Van
couver, Spokane and Seattle are leading
the Northwestern League when a peep
at the team averages Is taken. Aside
from the pitching margin, which gives
the three first-division clubs seven of
the eight leading moundmen, the
strength of the clubs expressed, In
batting, fielding and extra base clout
ing gives them a good margin over th
second division teams.
Vancouver, which leads the circuit
after a wonderful winning streak,' has
jumped to the fore In batting strength,
with Seattle and Spokane following:
above the .250 mark. Then Spokan
leads the fielding section, with Van
couver second and Seattle tied with
Victoria for third position. Spokane is
the extra base-hitting leader, with
Vancouver second and Seattle third.
Portland figures fourth in extra base
hitting and team hitting and has man
aged to forge ahead of Tacoma for
fifth place in team fielding.
Victoria pitchers have been the me
dium for much bat-average fattening,
opponents hitting .280, while Spokane
twirlers, allowing only .236, have been
the moundmen who have clamped the
brakes on aspiring clubmen.
"Hap" Myers, the Cpokane flrst
sacker, has usurped Herman Crulk
shank's position as ceconu slugger in
the circuit, jumping to .323 last week,
against .322 for the Colt outfielder.
"Dad" Meek, the Victoria backstop,
still tops the list, with an average of
.362.
Jimmy Clark, of Vancouver, and Bill
James, of Seattle, have each won 15
games in the flrruro tabulation to
Wednesday, but Clark leads the circuit
with a record of only one defeat,
against five for the Seattlelte. Wynn
Noyes, of Spokane, Is second in the list,
with 12 victories and three defeats.
Doty leads Portland, with 10 victories
and six defeats.
