4r THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 0, 1913. KID IW TITLE AS PACIFIC CHAMPION Oregon Wolf, Best for Two Years, Forced From Place at Astoria Regatta. RACERS FILE NO PROTESTS Less Speed Shown on Last Day of Contests Baby Bell, of Portland, Takes First Honors in 1 6 - Foot Class. ASTORIA. Or., July 6. (Special.) A brand-new champion now heads the speedboats on the Pacific Coast, and the Oregon Wolf, which held the title for several years, has been relegated to the background. The new cham pion is the Oregon Kid, of Rainier, and she not only holds the banner for the free-for-all class, but for the 20-foot and 26-foot classes as well. The Baby Bell, of Portland, holds it he champion ship in the 16-foot class for the com ing year. This is the result of the races run on the local course during the past three days under the auspices of the Pacific Coast International Power Boat Association. Ideal weather, a large crowd of vis itors, perfectly smooth water and the absence of drift on the racing: course, combined to make this, the final day of the Regatta, a hummer. The races were so well handled that not a single protest has been filed. The hoodoo was In evidence In some degree, but Its presence was not so pronounced as yesterday, although the Swastika was unable to participate in any of the contests on account of en gine trouble and the Oregon Wolf could work only eight of her nine cyl inders. Little Speed Shown. The speed shown in the regular races today did not equal that of the first day. The Oregon Kid was not crowded and never forced to line out her best licks. The captain of the Kid, how ever, had learned a lesson from his ex perience in the 20-foot race yesterday" and took no chances by loafing. The first race was the final heat In the contest between 16-footers, a dis tance of 10 miles. The entries were the Baby Bell and Gray Porter. The for mer quickly took the lead and main tained it to the end, winning by fully half a lap. Her time was 20.07, or at the rate of 27.15 miles an hour. Thr Bell thus won three straight heats and Is the Coast champion. The points in this race are divided as follows: Baby Bell. 15; Gray Porter, 9. The next rare was the final heat of the contest between 20-footers, a dis tance of 10 miles. The entries were the Oregon Kid and Baby Bell. The Vogler Boy attempted to start, but went to pieces JUBt after crossing the starting-line. : The Kid swung into the lead within the first 100 yards and maintained to the end. her time for the 10 miles being 15:38, or at the rate of 33.5 miles an hour. The Baby Bell was about two minutes behind at the close. The points In this race fol low: Oregon Kid, 11: Baby Bell, 11; Vogler Boy, 3; Swastika, 1. While the Bell and Kid are tied for points, they agreed that to Fhe winner of the last heat should go the championship honors, and accordingly they fell to the Oregon Kl-d, which is the faster craft by long odds. .,. Hoodoo Find Wolf. The third race was the final heat of the free-for-all contest. The only starters were the Oregon Kid and the Oregon Wolf. Both were off together, but the Kid gained 100 feet in the first few yards. Each craft appeared to be working splendidly, win the hoodoo stepped In. Soon after turn ing the first buoy, the Wolf's eighth cylinder went to the bad and from that time on the race was a procession. The best time made was on the sec ond lap. which the Oregon Kid made at the rate of 40 miles an hour or seven-tenths of a. mile slower than her record In her first heat on Thursday. On the fifth lap the Kid overtook the Wolf gaining a lap. The Kid's time was 47.04, or at an average speed of 38.2 miles an hour, the Wolf being ap proximately seven miles behind. The points, Oregon Kid, 15; Oregon Wolf, 6; Swastika, 1. The result gave the Kid throe straight heats and won her the championship of the Pacific Coast. Kid Taken Final Event. The last race of the Regatta was the last heat of the contest between 26-footers. The entries were the Ore gon Kid, Baby Bell, Volger Boy, and Gray Porter: At no moment was the result of this contest in doubt. The Kid took the lead from the start with the Baby Bell second, the Volger Boy third and they finished in that order. By winning three straight heats in this race, the Oregon Kid captured the championship for that class. The points: Oregon KW, 15; Baby Bell, 9; Vogler Boy, 3. Purses won during the Regatta are as follows: Oregon Kid, $765; Gray Porter, $180: Baby Bell, $565; Oregon Wolf, $180; Vogler Boy, $75; Swastika, $45. The Oregon Kid, the new Pacific Coast champion speedboat, is a 20-foot craft and is equipped with a six-cylinder engine that develops 90 horsepower. She Is said to have cost in the neigh borhood of $2500. Her engines were handled during the races by John Brock, a former automobile racer. Her pilot was a son of Captain Smith, her owner. s The . Eighteenth Annual Regatta came to a close this evening with an illuminating marine parade in which scores of handsp.mely decorated craft participated.

George W. Kendall Has Few Mishaps In Great Race Against Time From Portland to Astoria. "Because of a misunderstainding among the timers of the Portland to Astoria motor-boat race against tlme made by the Sylph last Thursday morn ing, the record of 3 hours, 29 seconds may not be recognized by the Pacific International or American Motor-Boat Association," says George W. Kendall. The local timers cannot seem to agree with the timers at Astoria, who caught the finish. Two times were given, the one above and another 2 hours, 59 minutes, 29 seconds, a differ ence of 1 minute. In either case the time made is a world's record for a similar run. The start was made in a light rain, but before 15 miles had been traversed it had stopped and from then on the weather was agreeable. No engine trouble was encountered and, with the exception of a. spring breaking in the carburetor, the trip was made without any mishaps. ' The river was comparatively free ot driftwood and the only trouble experi enced was dodging a few fish nets near Cathlamet. At one part of the race the engine caught fire and in trying to ex tinguish it Mr. Kendall caught fire, but little damage was done. In attempting to land, a spring In the carburetor broke again and the engine raced, causing it to become damaged to such 'an extent that it was not wise to attempt to bring it back under its own power. The boat could have been fixed, but Mr. Kendall could not spare the time, so came back with his wife to Portland the same day. The boat will be towed back by the Eva the first part of this week. PORTLAND CREVJ FIRST rTI'XIOK FX) tit DEFEATS SENIORS AT COECR D'ALEXE. Norman Ross Adds to. Honors by Taking Mile Swim at Regatta. Gammie Beats Hamlin. COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, July 5. (Special.) The Portland junior fours, who established a new Northwest rec ord for the mile and a half distance at the Regatta yesterday, competed with the senior fours today and suc ceeded In winning again in Just one fifth of a second under yesterday's new record. T"hey made the distance today in 7 minutes 43 1-5 seconds. Tjie three crews were off on a perfect start. All three shells took a steady stroke, which was maintained until the mile flag was reached, when the Portland ers took a notch in their stroke and increased it to 38. From this point they pulled away from the other two crews for about a length, where the Nelson rowers held them fast and they were in this position when the finish line was crossed. Norman Ross, of the 'Multnomah Ath letic Club of Portland, went through the third day of the Regatta without a defeat. Todav he- succeeded in beating George Chaffey, the Canadian cham pion, in the one mile swim by 100 yards. Ross took to the cold water like a fish and set a stiff pace, which he in creased all of the way. Using his pow erful Australian crawl stroke he soon outdistanced Chaffey, who was using the slower English over-arm stroke. Harold W. Marriam, unattached, of Spokane, took third In this event, fin ishing close to the heels of the Canadian champion. Ernest Crueger, of Spokane, won the high dive and" T. A. H. Taylor, of Van couver, got second place. In the regatta division Captain T. D. Derbyshire, of Nelson, B. C, won the senior singles, with V. B. Allen, of Vancouver, second. The time was 8:44 2-5.

Subtraction (New York Evening Post.) The teacher was hearing the youthful class in mathematics. "No," she said, "in order to subtract, things have to be in the . same demon ination. For Instance, we couldn't take three pears from four peaches, nor eight horses from 10 cats. Do you un derstand?" There was assent from the majority of pupils. One little boy In the rear raised a timid hand. "Well, Bobby, what Is it:" asked the teacher. "Rlease, teacher," said Bobby, "couldn't yoju take three quarts of milk from two cows?' - SCORE OF OFFICERS ON" ADMIRAL MORGAN'S STAFF WHO HAVE ANNUA! REGATTA AT ASTORIA. r 4 i . AS. 1.1 Melvln W.

HAWAIIAN ATHLETE IS ILL Xew Champion Goes 100 Tards in 54 3-5 Seconds and. 7 5 Yards in 3 9 4-5 Seconds Even Fast er Time ' Cnof ficial. SAN FRANCISCO, '.- July 6. Duke Kahanamoku, the Olympic champion, proved today that he is the greatest short distance swimmer the world has ever seen. Entered from the Hui Nalu Club, of the Hawaiian Islaifds, in the Pacific Coast championships of the Amateur Athletic Union, he broke all records in the 100 and 75-yard' dashes. For the 100 his time was 54 3-5 sec onds. All three timers' watches caught it alike. Daniels, of "New York, has the previous record of 54 4-5, for a course with four turns. As is well known, the swimmer sains speed kicking his- feet from the boundary walls, and the more turns the faster the course. At the Sutro baths today the course was 75 yards straightaway, turn and 25 yards on the home stretch. For a straight away course the record is 56 4-5. The Duke's own Olympic record, which he bettered today, is 56 4-5. Final Damta. la Fait. Ernest Smith, of San Francisco, un attached, was second, with 59 seconds flat, which beats the previous Pacific Coast record of 60 seconds flat, held by J. C. -Scott Leary, of the Olympic Club. Smith led by two yards at the half-way mark, but there the invincible Hawaiian turned loose his full power and at the turn was In the lead with a new world's record for 75 yards. His time was 39 4-6. Daniels' best time, the former world's record for a course with two turns, was 40 1-5. Kahanmoku swam straight away. In this connection it should be noted that in the 300-yard relay race, later in the everting, Kahanamoku, who took the last lap, was snapped by two of the official timers, who clocked the lap out of curiosity, at 38 seconds flat. As the third timer was of a less inquiring turn of mind, the record will not stand, but it is unquestionably correct. Kalanamokn la 111. Just to cap the climax, Duke is an ill man. An abcess is forming in his ear and for two nights the pain has not permitted him to sleep more than 15 minutes at a stretch. Miss Dollle Mings, of Redorido, won the women's swimming championship of the Pacific Coast in the 50-yard dash. Her time was 33 1-5 seconds, the record having stood at 40 seconds. Miss Dor othy Becker, of ban Francisco, was second, and Miss Marguerite Brack, of ban Francisco, third. Roy Kaawa, of Honolulu, won the novice race over 60 yards in 8 1-5 sec onds. William Grant of San Francisco was second. Kahanamoku won the 50-yard back stroke race In 32 4-5 seconds, the Pa cific Coast record having stood at 34 seconds flat. Lukola K.aupiko, of Hono lulu, took second place, and the points won by the two Islanders in this event, combined with the score they and their teammates already had made, gave the meet to the Hawaiian contenders. Duke Wins Five Firsts. Kahanamoku was a team in himself. In the two days of the meet he won five first places, netting 25 points, more than the total score of any other single team, and but seven points short of the combined scores 'of any two teams for which he did not compete. His show ing gave the meet to the Hui Nalu Club by the overwhelming score of 34 points. Next in order were Redondo Beach, 18 points; - Olympic Athletic Club with 14 points, San Francisco x. M. C. A., 12 points. The Healani Cub, also of Ha waii, took one point with third place in the relay race, and tfie Los Angeles Athletic Club was left at the post.

Fairbanks, Morse today gives rise to the question wheth-' er baseball Is not to become a world game instead of an American pastime. with the logical outcome of interna tional contests at the end of .the sea son. England's national game, cricket, is facing a crisis. The people are com plaining that it is too slow, and it is being compared, greatly to its disad vantage, to the snap, speed and sus tained interest of baseball. Gate re ceipts for the county championship matches have fallen so fast that cricket Vfans" are worried over the future of the game. Cricket followers want ex actly what the baseball public occasion ally, clamors for, more hard hitting. The great complaint is that the players of. the present day are "given too much to safe play, instead of taking chances by hitting the ball hard. A game which requires two days and seldom furnishes any exciting finishes seems at best very slow to Americans, but one of the complaints against crick et today is that the players loaf at their work. They stroll onto the field, take long rests for tea, and generally waste time. Some newspapers are dis cussing changes in the rules, and among other suggestions are harder grounds and a "liver" ball to make play swifter. But a more radical note is being heard with considerable insistence. Cricket not meeting the need of the day in England, baseball is being seri ously .considered as a national substi tute, and the question whether the great American game will not become the Summer pastime of the British Isles is by no means -idle gos6ip. Proposals have been made seriously by a number of English sporting writers that the American game be given a trial. These men are disgusted with the state of cricket, and declare any hope of re forming, that game is exceedingly re mote; with the present authorities in ' control. Baseball has already reached some degree of popularity in Ireland, and a number of teams are playing ball in the Midlands. Several teams areplan nlng to play this Summer in London. Among these is a nine composed exclu sively of the employes of a London branch of an American firm, and the Columbia Park Boys -ub of San Fran cisco, now visiting England, .-will en deavor to introduce the game among the school boys here. FOrR-BASE HITS MUST STOP Any More "Would Spoil Walter John son's 1912 Record. In order to equal his 1912 record. Walter Johnson must prevent the bat ters of the American League from get ting any more four-base drives off his delivery. Harry Hooper, of the Red Sox, and Frank Baker, of the Athletics, both have touched the Washington twirler for homers. In 1912 but two men hit Walter for four bags. That total was equaled hy Hooper and Baker two weeks ago. Home runs off Johnson last year were almost as scarce as peaches at the North Pole, and it is notable that both made oft him last year were made in the same game, one In which Walter was driven out of the box in five in nings. Harry Lord and "Ping" Bodie, of the White Sox, lifted home runs off him in a game on May 8, in which Washington lost, 7 to 6. Johnson went more than a year be fore Hooper made his home run.
