ET RALPH H. MITCHELU .
Fire Portland tennis players will be
represented In tenni play this wee at
Victoria, four of whom will represent
the Multnomah and Irvington Clubs In
the North Pacific International.
The men left last night for the North.
Thev are Fred H. V. Andrews. Richard
Wilder. Brandt H. Wickersham. Walter
A. Goss and H. R- Von Wiedner. Von
Wiedner will play In the open British
Columbia tournament, which la to be
held by the Victoria club In conjunc
tion with the International.
The Oregonian baa made arrange
ments for an extended report on each
day'a play of the International: In fact,
all the victories and losses of the Port
land players will be recorded In detail,
so far as space will permit. This work
will te covered by Mr. Andrews, for
mer president of the association, and
who undoubtedly will be a candidate
for secretary at the coming election, as
It Is rumored that Secretary Cave-Browne-Cave,
of Vancouver, will re
sign at the Victoria meeting.
Dally Letter to Supplement.
Mr. 'Andrews will supplement his
daily telegraphic stories with a daily
letter on the showing of the Portland
players. Owing to Mr. Andrews' abil
ity as a tennis expert and his stand
ing with the association membera he
will be in a position to give the read
ers of The Oregonlan the best at com
mand. But the men are not the only Port
landers to take to Junketing this year,
for several fair-sex members of the
Irvington Club are planning on an
other invasion of the North, Tacoma,
Seattle and Everett being the objec-l
tlve points, from August t to z. in
clusive. ,
Miss Susan Clark, of this city, who
has offered another trophy for play
this year In the Tacoma tournament,
hs been Instrumental in furthering In
terest among the young women, ably
aiisisted by Miss Myrtle Schaefer. al
ready the holder of several sliver cups,
who recently returned from a Northern
visit, where she was entertained at the
Seattle Tennis Club, this organization
extending a cordial Invitation to all
Portland tennis players to attend their
tourney from August 13 to li.
K)ve May Make Trip.
Among those who have signified
their Intention of going north are Miss
Irene Campbell, state champion; Miss
Stella Fording, former state champion:
Mlsa Schaefer, Miss Fox and probably
Mrs. W. I. Northrup. the latter two,
who are Oregon's best doubles team,
desirous of showing their mettle
ajralnst what the North has to offer.
The fact that Miss Campbell, the
diminutive state champion, has been
playing an unusually wonderful game
this year. It is probable that Port
land will take further honors in the
three tournaments in which the young
wftmen are nlanninz to play.
Following the play at Everett, the
next tournament of importance will be
the Irvington Club Fall handicap
(open), which is one of the most popu
lar of Portland tournaments.
Tyler Stronger Tbin Ever.
Whether the Portland men will have
a -look-in" at any of the tournaments
in which Joe Tyler, of Spokane, this
year appears seems doubtful, for never
within his tennis career nas tne noina
ht.ired. blue-eyed youth of the Inland
K.-nDlre. who is a banker 10 or 11
months a year, been playing such a
giitne as he is now.
His nervous energy is surely stand
ing him in good stead and the way he
is cleaning up California's and Canada's
b.st at the tennis game Is evidence
that Tyler is worthy of California, and
Eastern tournament play and should
b given the opportunity to make the
trip South, at least. Here's hoping he
will. Just to show California tennis rollt
wnat the North has to offer.
There Is the possibility that Tyler
and Wickersham will double up in their
play at the Los Angeles tournament in
lale August, to which both have re
ceived Invitations and which both have
accepted. It would make - a pretty
team.
Tacoma Tourney to Be Good.
From Indications there will bo. sev
en! Portland players appearing this
year in Tacoma's tournament. Other
than those, taking in the International
wlao may stop on their way home, who
may play in the Pacific Northwest play
is James F. Ewlng, of the Multnomah
Club.
Play this year for the Chester
Thome cup promises to be the best in
the history of the club. One fact
which leads to such a prediction is
that the trophy must be won thrice
in succession before it can become a
permanent possession.
Nat Emerson of North Yakima, pres
ent holder of the cup. will have to play
better tennis than he has ever played
before if he retains the trophy. Op
posed to him will be the best players
on the Pacific Coast and the highest
grade of play In the history of the
Northwest should be the result.
In competition for the feature event.
William Johnson and Melville Long,
both of San Francisco, Joe Tyler of
Spokane and Wickersham of this city
are regarded as the leaders. Although
Johnson holds a victory over the Inter
nationalist, it was early in the sea
son, when Long was out of practice.
The meeting of these players should
furnish one of the sensations of the
tournament.
The play in the men s doubles will
also be of keen interest- Johnson and
Fottrell are the favorites in this event,
but it is just' possible that Johnson
will want to save his strength for the
finals in the singles if he retains his
position that far.
In the women's singles it is general
ly conceded that May Sutton and her
sinter. Florence, will have little real
competition. but the finals between
these two will make a match which
is worth going miles to see. Both are
wonderful players and Florence Sutton
should be able to draw the national
champion out until she Is forced to
play her best to win.

Nashville, in the final round of the
women's doubles, 6-1, 6-3. .
Bandy Oorplayed a Start.
Tha content between Bundy and Iu
man was a fitting climax to the classic
tourney. The New Yorker outplayed
the Pacific Coast expert in the first
two sets, his service being equal to
that of Bundy and his net wora anu
accurate drives surpassing the playing
of the Los Angeles man. The first
set was especially hard fought, as the
score 7-5 Indicates. Inman continued
his good work in the second frame
and walked away with the set, 6-2. His
exertions, however, tired him out com
pletely, and Bundy won the next three
sets easily, allowing the former title
holder only four games.
Drummond Jones, of St. Louis, and
Joe Armstrong, of Minneapolis, won
the final match of the consolation
doubles, defeating Comstock and Vail,
of Chicago. 6-1, 6-2.
The contest between the two Los
Angeles girls was the first of the final
matches played. Both played bril
liantly. Miss Sutton, however, excelling
in accurate placing. Her drives to the
distant parts of the court kept her op
ponent continually on the defensive.
Miss Browne did not appear to be play
ing her best game, particularly in the
first set. when she missed several easy
shots.
Contest Stubbornly Fought.
Notwithstanding the apparent one
sided score, the contest was stubbornly
fought and was productive of a stellar
grade of tennis.
In the match between Bundy and
Haves, which the former took in
straight sets. 6-0. 6-0, 6-4. the Illinois
state tltie-noiaer ciea-ny
classed. The first set was a walk
away for the Callfornian in the six
games played, only eigm poinm goma
to the Chicago man. Hayes could not
solve Bundy's puzzling twist service,
and the Coast man followed up this ad
vantage bv superior net work combined
with slashing drives along the side
lines.
The second set was equally easy for
Bundy. the fourth game being the only
one to go to the deuce. Hayes was
weak on his back-hand, being unable
to return the cut strokes of the Call
fornian. who annexed six straight
games.
Ham at Net Gt Game.
At the third set. Hayes started to
take the net and won his first game
of the match. Bundy took the next
three, the fourth being hard fought
Hayes grabbed the fifth and a keen
battle began, although the outcome was
never In doubt.
The Califomlan led at 5-3. his back
hand and forehand drives to the far
corners keeping the state champion on
tbe run.
Haves won the ninth game, but
Bundy was not to be denied and won
the deciding game and the match, 6-4.

It Is not necessary to journey more

approachable places, but as late as

were killed near Linnton. while the

The race that will prove the most
pleasing to spectators will be the
farmers' special, open to horses who
have never entered or taken part In
any race meeting, to be driven by the
bona fide owners to four-wheeled tfug
gies. It is to be remembered that
three years ago a race of this kind
...i. niaro and there was more en-
thusias'n than for any other event of
the day. There were no less
entries, and the rivalry that existed
between the participants was far
greater than that the officials of the
club had anticipated.
Seven Enter Half Mile Run.
' The half mile running race should
also be very interesting. According to
the entries there will be no less than
seven starters As the horses have
been in training all season they should
race in perfect form. The race com
mittee has partially arranged for a
Bteeplechase for one and one-fourth
miles- ' . , ...
All of the horses entered In the va
rious races are fit and ready 'to put
up a game fight for first honors.
The officials of the meeting have ar
ranged to accommodate all women free
and any members of the Riverside
Driving Club will be glad to give seats
to any deBlring same upon request.
This Is something unusual for a race
meeting, but the members and of
ficials, upon a unanimous vote, decided
to give the women a fine day's racing
without any cost to them whatsoever.
WOMEN WON'T DON SKIRTS
Public Opinion Compels Repeal of
Portuguese Edict. -'
MOMBASA, July 27. The town of In
hambane has been in a state of revolt
owing to the decree issued by the local
Portuguese Governor directing that all
native women must wear skirts.
First the Indian storekeepers, who
kept on hand large stocks of shawls
and handkerchiefs suitable to the na
tive fashions threatened to close their
stores.
Then those women wno are In the
habit of flocking to the town with
eggs and vegetables gave notice that
they could not possibly think of con
tinuing their visits to Inhambane un
der such insulting circumstances.
In addition, it was regarded as cer
tain that thousands of natives living
in and around the town would decide
to leave it at once for more comfort
able quarters, where skirts were fortu
nately regarded as being entirely su
perfluous. Ultimately, so great was the volume
of adverse opinion, the Governor with
drew his decree.

Michigan Pugilist Wants t5.500
for Guarantee in Three Matches.
Willie Ritchie Finds Match
Making Difficult.
BT HARTtT B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 2T. (Special.)
What with the Federal Government
prohibiting the transportation of mov
ing fight pictures between states and
the people of Southern California agi
tating the signing of petitions to have
an anti-fight bill placed on the ballot
for next November, it can't be said that
the boxing game in this section Is in
good shape. The action of Congress in
prohibiting Interstate traffic will, to all
Intents and purposes, kill off tne pic
ture end of the Bport.
Pictures can be taken of the fight
and exhibited in that particular state,
for all the Government cares, but that
will not amount to much. For Instance,
while Promoter McCarey and Tom
Jones made considerable money from
the Wolgast-Rivers fight pictures, they -sold
the California state rights for
J2000. Inasmuch as the pictures cost
the promoter something like J1000, it
can readily be seen that the profits
amount to little or nothing.
The move for an anti-prizefight bill
to go before the people at the gener.il
election In November originated in
Southern California. There seems to be
no doubt but that the question will go
before the voters, and when it goes
that far it Is almost a foregone conclu
sion that professional exhibits will be
stopped.
It Is possible that a compromise
might be effected to permit ten-round
bouts, such as Is the case in New York,
but the antls are not strong for any
compromise, as they feel they are in a
position to block the entire deal.
And very frankly, I don't mind say
ing that the light game Is largely re
sponsible for all this agitation.
The sport is not the cleanest in the
world and people who have been in fa
vor of boxing have been alienated by
some of the matches and the "raw
deals" that have been put through.
Take Abe Attell. as a fair example.
Last week Attell. who has been un
der the management of Billy Nolan for
some months, decided that he didn't
want a manager any longer. He also
reached the conclusion that he didn't
care to go through with his contract to
fight Harlem Tommy Murphy In San
Francisco, Saturday, August 1. So Abe,
who hasn't been the squarest of fighters
in the world, called everything off.
Coffroth heard about it while on a
vacation up in the Tahoe country and
hurriedly returned home. In some
fashion he patched up Attell's troubles
so that Abe agreed to go through with
the Murphy match, which will take
place next Saturday.
Personally, I am opposed to giving
Attell any further, chance. After the
expose of his last fight with Murphy, In
which Abe tried to frame affairs, lie
pleaded that he wanted to be straight.
He was given that chance and then
decided he would go his own way. At
tell can't afford to blow hot and then
cold. He must walk the straight and
narrow path or quit the boxing game.
He hasn't shown much of an inclination
to be right, and I, for one. don't un
derstand why we should bother with
him.
However, his fight with Murphy for
next Saturday afternoon seems to be
a certainty unless Abe changes his
mind again.
It Is possible that he can come back
but as Attell has once more been play
ing cards at night and all that sort of
things, he can hardly be in the best
shape In the world.
I don't much incline to the "come
back" theory and look for Murphy to
win.

Ad Wolgast stopped several days in
San Francisco en route to Cadillac,
Michigan, where he will spend several
months resting on the farm.
Wolgast decided to cut out his trip
to Oregon, where he had planned to
go hunting for a week or 10 days. It
is very plain to anyone that he is
tired out and feels the need of a long
rest.
Both Wolgast and Jones say that the
champion will not step into the ring
before Thanksgiving Day. Tney also
declare it Is a matter of indifference
Just who Ad meets and Intimate that
the promoter with tne money win se
cure Wolgast's services.
Wolgast looks as If there were
something- more the trouble with bim
than the appendicitis that bothered
him eight months, ago. Ho certainly
hasn't the life that formerly char
acterized him. At the same time, while
he Is In need of this rest, it doesn't
look to be the wisest thing for him to
strike the hot weather that he will
find around Michigan during the latter
part of the Summer.
Coffroth tried to tie the champion
up to three matches but couldn't do
the business. First of all, Coffroth
wanted Wolgast to fight either Ritchie
or the winner of Attell-Murphy, Dis
covery Day, Oct. 12. Then he wanted
the champion to follow that up with,
a fight with Joe Rivers Thanksgiving
Day. and last of all to box Packey
McFarland New Year's Day.
Wolgast replied that he wouldn't
fight in October. Also, for three
matches he wanted an aggregate guar
antee of 166,000.
For Ritchie, the Mfchigander,
thought that $15,500 would be the right
thing. For Rivers, he asked J20.50O
and for Packey McFarland the same
sum.
Coffroth thinks that such money I)
more than he can afford to pay.
At the same time, Wolgast doesn'l
seem as bent on fighting In Los An
geles as was formerly the ease and
perhaps will be brought to terms for
contest In this city.
The July fight will be a 15-found
match between Tommy McFarland. a
local four-rounder who came to the
front this last week when he outboxed
Eddie Dennis and "One-Round" Hogan.
Eddie Graney had the permit but after
fooling away the Fourth of July date
and losing out on Kaufman and Charlie
Miller, he sold his permit to Harry
Foley.
"One-Round" Hogan has found the
grass decidedly short since his relurn
from the East. When he came back to
San Francisco Hogan wanted a $2D0O
guarantee to get into the ring. He has
been more capable of listening to
reason of late, however, which ac
counts for this bout between Jack and
a boy who Is practically unknown.
