MAN OF CHAMPIONS HERE
Dr. S. R. Marvin Passes ay In
Portland Tells of Labor Among
California's Tennis" Boys, Who
Hare Become Best.
Though the entry list does not
close till Tuesday at o'clock the
entrants for the Irvlngton Club's an
nual Fall open handicap promise al
ready to outnumber those who entered
last year and the 1911-event was one
of the best In the history of the or
ganization. Owing to the absence from the city
of Chairman Mitchell during the pro
gress of the tournament. F. H. V.
Andrews, who long was chairman of
the Irvlngton Club tennis committee,
and Is conceded one of the best tourna
ment handlers in the Northwest, has
been prevailed upon to take charge, as
acting chairman, of the club's coming
tournament which opens on Saturday
next.
Mr. Andrews will be ably assisted by
W. D. Brewer, member of the com
mittee and David M. Stewart, one of
Irvlngton's most enthusiastic tennis
men. Mr. Brewer and Mr. Stewart re
turned yesterday from play in the
Breakers tourney.
The fact that the entry fee has
been cut this year to 50 cents has
proved enticing to those preparing to
play in the club s affair this year and
accounts to an extent for the large
number already entered. The com
mittee's only proviso this year Is that
all players in the tournament shall
furnish their own tennis balls in each
match played. Being an open affair
and the committee being desirous of
creating unusual interest this Fall in
the event, this plan may prove so
beneficial to all concerned that it will
be followed in the future at Irvington.
The tennis committee has announced
that the courts will be closed to all
tennis on Friday, to give the ground-
keeper the entire day in which to pre
pare the courts for the Saturday play.
It will be necessary for the courts
to be closed to all players except those
entered in the tournament up to and
including September 4. This is done to
benefit all. in that it will give the
tournament a good start and thus give
way to other club members who wish
to play when the tournament is not in FjelfJef JOnCS ThinkS Stahl'S
Tennis player champions are born
not made, is the opinion of Dr. S. R.
Marvin, who passed through Portland
last week in company with Roy
Roberts, grammar school champion of
San Francisco, and during his stay
was the guest or F. ri. V. Andrews.
Mr. Marvin is the man, whose leader

has resulted in the development of such
champions as Maurice McLoughlln,

carrying Edward B. to a bad break
in the home stretch. Driver C. Valen

heats, when May Queen should have
cleaned It up In four. In the third.
Sprague, behind May Queen, thinking

and Harding, finishing in a rush, with
Baron Forest, caught the Judges eyes.
Baron Forest had the speed necessary
to capture the fifth and sixth heats by
close margins.
Because of special heats, there was
no chance of deciding the 2:16 pace,
2:09 trot and-2:15 pace, and they were
declared off, while the free-for-all trot

to finish.

Meeting, Opening Tomorrow, Will
Bring Together Northwestern, Ca
nadian and California Animals
for First Time, This Season.
BT JAMES H. CASSBLL.
Turf history will be made In Port
land this week. Commencing; tomor
row afternoon over 300 blooded equines.
Including the stars of the West,- will
clash In a six-day carnival of speed
the like of which has never been seen
in this section.
"Where the turf stars of the West
first meet," is an apt slogan adopted
for the annual Portland Fall race pro
gramme, for the galaxy of harness tal
ent which will respond to Starter Mc
Nair's orders establishes a new epoch
In the history of- racing In Portland.
The Portland meeting brings together
Canadian, California and Northwestern
horses for the first time this season.
"Little Grand Circuit Meeting," Is
another phrase which has been used
much of late in describing the coming
contests of the standard-bred horses,
and with performers capable of shat
tering all Portland records and estab
lishing new 1912 Northwest speed
marks, if not actually those of all pre
vious years, splendidly balanced and
large fields, the best drivers obtainable,
a lightning fast track and a competent
corps of officials, this designation is
likewise a happy one.
SuceeM Due to Public.
The race association has provided
the attraction and it now remains for
the public of Portland and vicinity to
insure its success. Nothing will do
more to refute the arguments that
harness racing is dying in this section
of the country than a representation
of the citizenry to which the meeting
is entitled.
Northwestern harness racing Is not a
bookmakers' game, with gambling pre
dominant, but Is a gentleman's sport,
with, the love of the horse, and not of
money, Its outstanding feature. Where
there is one owner who makes a. live
lihood from the turf, there are several
who dig deep into their pockets to
pay for their participation in the sport
they love. Under such circumstances
It Is hard to find a logical argument
for the non-support of the game.
While the harness races, with purses
aggregating $25,000. will be the fea
ture of the Portland meeting, running
races, amateur driving races, aero
plane flights, polo pony races, mule
race guldeless pacing exhibitions and
music, vocal and instrumental, will also
comprise the programme.

have an opportunity - to witness the
opening day's programme tomorrow,
the management welcoming the young
sters as guests. The planting of a few
germs of horse-love into the youthful
breast, as well as affording the chll
dren a few hours' enjoyment, actuated
the officials of the meeting in extend
ing the Invitation.
W. P. McNalr. of Phoenix, Ariz., who
will start the races, arrived in Port
land yesterday, while John P. Bollleau,
of Spokane, presiding Judge, Is due
today. Mr. McNalr Inspected the plant
at the Country Club in the afternoon
and was well pleased with the trac
splendid representation of horses and
accommodations.
Yesterday was the banner workout
day of the week, with a number of
sensational pacing and trotting per
formances. Horsemen who have attend
ed meetings all over the West say that
never have they seen such a squad of
horses capable of reeling off a mile In
2:12.
The running-horse contingent at the
track numbers 30, which may prevent
the two races planned for each day.
However, several polo pony races are
on the programme, and these, with a
freak race, featuring mules, will take
care of the running division of the
bills.
Almont 300 Horses Here.
Yesterday the last of the horses ar
rived, bringing the total of harness
speeders to almost 300, by far the larg
est ever quartered In Portland.
The races will start promptly at
o'clock daily, with two heats of the first
race followed by the sandwiching In of
other races to prevent long delays and
insure the ending of the day's pro
gramme by 5 o'clock.
The free-for-all trot, the only late
closing event canceled because of short
age of entries, probably will be run on
Tuesday as originally scheduled. Zom
bronut, 2:08; Nada, 2:09H. and Prince
Lot, 2:094, are at the track, and their
owners undoubtedly will agree to a
three-cornered race.

BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) In addition to Jim Flynn and
Charlie Miller, who are to box before
his club on Labor Day, Jim Coffroth
has at last succeeded in coming to
terms with Willie Ritchie. The San
Francisco lightweight Is to fight 20
rounds on Admission day. Once, the
chances were that Harlem Tommy Mur
phy would be his opponent, but later
In the week "One Round" Hogan was
selected.
Ritchie's terms were for a time
deemed excessive, but he was finally .
persuaded that it was up to him to
accept a match. He is tremendously
popular and has been given a world
of advertising, but he couldn't reap
any benefit by staying out of the ring.
If Willie Is as good as his friends
think he is, he ought to win handily.
If he can do that and satisfy the pub
lic that he Is worth while, Ritchie will
have no difficulty In securing engage
ments that will be worth while In the
future.
He intends taking a short vacation.
probably In Chlco, where he has rela
tives, and after that will settle down
to the Irksome task of getting Into
shape.
Kaufman Geta New Chance.
AI Kaufman Is to have another
chance. The California heavyweight
is being handled by AI White, of Oak
land, and this week Coffroth promised
White that Kaufman could have a
match with the winner of the Fiynn
Mlller match either late In September
or early In October.
White says he is willing to bet $2500
that Kaufman can lick Flynn and
that he will put up the money any
time they say the word. AI, since re
covering from his attack of pneu
monia, has been living quietly in Sau
sallto, and has been building up his
system. He is said to be In better
shape than before his Illness and ready
and anxious for a chance at somebody.
Here in San Francisco there seems
to be a feeling that Flynn will ride
roughshod through Charlie Miller. The
Roumanian has never been severely
tested, but the local enthusiasts can't
seem to figure him. If Flynn does
win, he will remain here until after
the other match, as he has nothing
else in sight and is willing to take in
