JUNIORS GIVEN CHANCE t t "J & X 1 GAME HAS NARROW ESCAPE Squabble Threatens Bay City Sport. Ritchie "Will Get $35,000 fop Scrap With Welsh In London. Champion Expect to Win. BY HARRY B. SMITH. BAN FRANCISCO, June 13. The box ing game In San Francisco proper had a narrow escape Irom annihilation the other day. Just one vote more and the game so lar as this city la con rnmMl. would have cone to the bow wows. However, the difference be tween that needed vote and its ab sence means that the pugistio sport will continue to thrive. However, It was not a case, aa might be Inferred. ol the morals of the cummumty. No, Indeed. It was Just a case ot a sauabble between rival promoters. that has been going on for many a day. The police committee of the Board of Supervisors couldn't agree on the question of who was to have the permit, and passed it up to the board proper. There were Just enough of the reformers and the disgusted to- make the vote a close proposition. And. Incidentally, one James "W. Coftroth was laughing up his sleeve at the situation. Of course, as a pro moter in San Francisco, Sunshine Jim would have lost out. but likewise, as a promoter (and the only one) In San Mateo County, be would have had a fine little monopoly and would have run the game Just about as he pleased. Little wonder that Coftroth was not In the least degree worried over the threats to have a closed shop In San Francisco. Gnuaii'i Work; Surprise. Ralph Gruman's victory over Johnny O'Leary in their four-round bout last week was about as much of a compli ment as the lad could expect to re ceive at this stage of " his career. O'Leary was a strong favorite In the betting and figured to win. Gruman's workmanship was very much of a surprise to the crowd, and especially the way, he handled him self at the close. In the fourth. In that final round, O'Leary was instruct ed to rush In and - tear Oruman to pieces. The Portlander stood his ground and gave O'Leary better than he sent. According to reports, Harry Foley Is to handle Gruman. It will be the best thing that could happen to Ralph. He needs coaching at the hands of an ex perienced man, and Foley la the prop er man for that sort of work. RJtctle o Get Blar - After all the hurrahs, WilTie Ritchie has finally sailed for London, and the chances are , that unless something happens, his match with Freddie Welsh will take place on the night of the Fourth of July. Even up to the last moment, there were so many hitches that it was very much of a chance what would happen, . with the betting more than even some thing would, come up to disturb the serenity of the occasion. Ritchie is to receive a $15,000 guar antee with the privilege of accepting B0 per cent if the gross runs over $30, 000. In addition, he will be handed $1000 expense money, and $10,000 for his end of the moving picture rights. Also he is to have whatever advertis ing privileges there are, although I doubt very much whether that will amount to anything. On the face of things, then, he will be paid 125,000 for the Welsh match, which is not a bad compensation. Ritchie is confident that he will whip Welsh easily. He doesn't seem In the least perturbed because the rules call for clean breaks. To the contrary, he Kays that will favor him. for he says that Welsh likes to wrestle and hold and that he will be barred from such a procedure. Dope Picks Ritchie to Win. On the dope, Ritchie ought te win. although there is no question but that Welsh is a clever boxer. However, if Ritchie could practically etand Welsh off as he did when Willie was no more than a novice, he ought to be able to do much better now with his increased Ability and confidence. If he does win, Ritchie Is planning on a theatrical tour of the continent, which will mean something in the way of coin coming in as well as the oppor tunity that he desires so much of see ing the country. He will likely pass two or three months abroad, and whether he will figure on returning for a bout here in September depends upon trie way his affairs tur-n out on the Fourth of July. If Ritchie can beat Welsh, he will be a big card against Charlie White any time he wants to start, and would be able to command good money for his services. Middleweight Battle Arranged. 6an Francisco will see a middle weight battle on the Fourth of July, as CofTroth has finally closed terms by which Fighting Billy Murray and George Chip are to meet, here in a 20 round contest. On the same day. In Australia. Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty are to meet, and the winners of the two bat tles could come close to being matched for the legitimate middleweight cham pionship of the world. So far Charlie White is altogether too expensive a luxury to be exhibited as a boxing card in San Francisco. When Coftroth wired Chicago to And out what were White's best terms, he was astounded. White admitted that he would make the Western trip wil lingly for a guarantee of J4500 and three round-trip tickets. Coftroth has replied that it is altogether too stiff a price, and If White wants a match here in San Francisco, he will have to come down to mother earth. M'VEY KXOCKS OUT PELKY KesulfXever in Doubt at Ring Event in Australia. MELBOURNE, Australia, June 13. 8am McVey, of California, heavyweight champion of Australia, knocked out Arthur Pelky, heavyweight, of Chic opee Falls, Mass., in the fourth round of a fight here today. The result was never In doubt. Monmouth Has First Track Meet. MONMOUTH, Or., June 13. (Special.)

Owing to a misunderstanding in arrangements Bigelow failed to slow up for his turn and Payton volunteered his services for the seventh lap. Banquet Follows Race.

Portland. drives were long and accurate and his putting was sure. McLaughlin appeared more nervous In the afternoon than In the morning and missed several easy putts. His drives were often miscalculated, going Into the bunkers or into the rough. Cady played his poorest of the match on the 19th hole, galng down In seven, while McLaughlin took five. Cady recovered on the 20th hole and was down in three after driving within a few feet of the cup. The 21st hole was halved in five and by another spectacular drive the Rock Island golf er took the next hole in three. Cady drove into the bunker on the 25th hole, but in a brilliant recovery he drove clear of a water hazard to the green for a half in five. On the 26th hole McLaughlin was on the green In one and down in four, winning the hole. On the next hole he repeated the drive, but missed an easy putt, while Cady ran down a putt of about 35 feet, halving the hale In three. On the 3 2d hole McLaughlin had the better of the drive, but again Cady made an almost perfect approach shot. McLaughlin won down in six- Cady ad- Ldressed the ball, which lay about eight feet from the cup on the green, and tapped It gently. It rolled to the hole, curled around the cup and dropped in for the five which gave him the hole and the match. Chemical Plant Has Blaze.

BY WALTER A. GOSS. Walter A. Goes, for many years North west singles tennis champion and one of Portland's best-known tennis plavers, has agreed to give The Oregonian a few talks on the local tennis situation. Aa editor of the Northwest Tennis Guide, or at least one of them, he is In a position to speak of the game authoritatively. What good is the tournament? Why should we give up our courts several times during the season to the tourna ment matches r Why should players enter the tournament when It Is a fore gone conclusion that they cannot win first honors? I'll answer it all by another ques tion: What good are examinations In school, and should the second or third rate pupil be exempt? For 15 years nothing has done so much to foster and build up this de lightful game In Oregon as the play ing of the Oregon state championship tournament and the open handicap tournament, usually played In the Fall at Irvlngton. Some of our old-time players have hardly missed a chance to take part In all of these events and think not only of the pleasure they themselves have derived but what Is most Impor tant of all. the benefit coming to the inferior player who had the chance of a game with one who is much his superior. The tournament is the practical means of bringing together the high class man and the low-class man the senior and the junior (many times with disastrous results to the former). Until the laBt two years Oregon has been notably behind, especially in pro ducing championship material among the juniors. Very largely due to the interest in the high schools, we now have several youngsters who are fast rounding into form and who soon will be "the champions of Oregon. No other game needs more of self control and cool, calculating general ship than does tennis. Nothing devel opes this needed requisite like the tournament. The haphazard afternoon match is played and at once forgotten. The tournament match must needs produce results, especially to the loser. If he is ambitious to Improve his game he has not accepted defeat without first having put into the battle hla last pound of strength and his every ounce of gray matter. He ought to be wringing wet with perspiration, his wrist should be tired and his legs should be almost ready to go "crampy." He should say. "Well. I'm licked, notwithstanding I tried all the tricks I knew." There Is noth ing like a close, hard, important tour nament match for tempering one's dis. position. - Only last Fall one of our prominent juniors lost an Important jnatch for no other reason than, because he be came angry. He hud the strokes, the speed, the "pep," the endurance, the generalship, but he lucked the dispo sition. The nervous strain of an im portant tournament match is great and the old tournament player is almost without exception found to be cool and collected in times of stress and great excitement. You can well see that the tourna ment Is not held for the purpose of tying up the courts in favor of the player who digs up a small entrance fee. nor is it held for the purpose of giving away a prize to the winner. Its sole aim is to improve the skill of the player and to foster the best Inter, ests of the game. Let us all join In the entries for our state championship next July. Big and little, fat and slim, girl and boy, beginner and veteran. It vtH help the gate receipts to see a boy in knee trousers knock out some of the veterans who have been on the courts for 40 years, and I believe we have several who can do it. MISS BROWNE CHAMPION CALIFORNIA TEXNIS WOMAN KEEPS TRIPLE TITLE. Mis Wagner, Indoor Champion, Loses 6-2. 1-6, 8-1 Miss Browne and Tildes Wia Doubles Honors. PHILADELPHIA. June 13.

Miss Browne took the first set in the singles championship without much effort, due In a measure to the unstead iness of Miss Wagner. The California player worked her cross-court strokes to telling advantage, occasionally ap proaching the net for a kill. She won the set. 6-2. In the second set Miss Wagner gained confidence, while Miss Browne seemed to lose her grip. The New York player made her shots with snap and good placement and won the set, 6-1.
