Just because an extra event was
ddd to the list scheduled, the result
.f the annual Portland grammar
school track and tleld meet hem on
Multnomah Field yesterday morning is
In doubt. Eleven events were on the
original programme made by Robert
Krohn, physical director of the schools,
but after getting down onto the track,
through some misunderstanding a 220
vanl lanh was added.
This would have been all right If It
hadn't been that the winner ran out
of his lane after he had made a lead of
more than 15 reet over nis ueic.
rival. In doing this some of the offi
cials disqualified him because In the
very race before this Earl Johnson, of
Eunnyside, was thrown out for the
same offense.
Thompson Is First.
The result of the meet gave Thomp
son first, with 21 points; Brooklyn sec
ond, with 19; then the rest of the
echools came in the following order:
cihattuck. 18; Couch. 12; Holladay, 11;
Chapman, 9; Ladd, ; Eliot, 5; Rich

each.
The 220-yard race will have to be
run over again, and Robert Krohn an

held on Multnomah field next Tuesday
afternoon. All entries who ran in the
tuniiti.yi Birpnf. Includin&r those who

Two records were broken. Simon

half-mile run in 2 minutes and 15 sec
onds, two seconds better than the pre
vious time. In the pole vault Corliss

ter than the previous mark made last
season.
Thompson May Lose Lead.
Should Thayer, of Thompson, be de
feated In the 22U-yard race next Tues
day his school will be deprived of first
place. The relay race was the most
exciting of the day. The Holladay
quartet took the first heat, and then
In the final heat three schools were en
tered. The Shattuck team took the lead Im
mediately and held it until within ten
yards of the finish, when Robert Bishop,
of Holladay, by a big burst of speed
crossed the line a winner for the East

the Penn games.
The merrie month of Mae furnished
the second jolt, when J. Bull took 10

look like the Oaks in a hand-to-hand

And then came the crowning wallop

say the Persians originated the game,
but from all reports that have ema

series of International matches between
women teams of 20 members each rep
resenting Seattle and Tacoma on one
side and Victoria and Vancouver on the
other, at the links of the Seattle Golf
and Country Club, resulted in even
honors today. Each team won nine
points and two matches were tied.
Intense rivalry was manifested by
reason of the fact that a victory for
the Americans would have meant the
completion of the series and the award
ing to them of the silver trophy offered
by H. C. Henry, of Seattle. The present
status of the series is: Seattle-Tacoma,
two wins; Victoria-Vancouver, one win.

650 miles. Honeywell won first
That same year he defeated Honey

distance was only 42 miles.
Watts did such spectacular work
that he was chosen, along with Berry

secured the loan of the Dusseldorf II,

In this Watts sailed 1175 miles to

TITLE COMES WEST AT LAST
Young California Player, R. Iilndley
Murray, Takes Metropolitan.
Singles Trophy in 6-8, 7-5,
7-5, C-, 6-4 Style.
FOREST HILLS. N. T, June 20. R.
Lindley Murray, the young California
player from Leland Stanford Univer
sity, won. the metropolitan singles ten
nis championship here today on the
clay courts of the West Side Club. In
the final of the tournament Murray
beat the veteran F. B. Alexander, 6-8,
7-5, 7-5. 2-6.. -4.
The victory of the youth from the
Pacific Coast marks the first time that
the title has been captured by any
other than an Eastern player. Alexan
der is a former champion, having held
the title in 1905. 1906 and 1907.
Murray's father, mother and sister
were among the 3000 spectators and
were the first to congratulate him.
From the first service, which fell to
Murray, it was a desperate contest
Alexander solved the service for placed
returns and ran out straight games be
fore the boy blocked him by getting
to the net, Following up this line of
attack, the youth outvolleyed the vet
eran"for five games In a row for a
lead at 6-5.
The -cleverness of Alexander in forc
ing openings more than offset the
speed of Murray and the veteran took
the first set
Murray let himself out in the second
and third sets. His remarkable gets
saved him, but required so much en
ergy that he was below par in the
fourth set Alexander in turn failed
to stand the pace In the fifth set Mur
ray making a great spurt against his
rival. The games and points balanced
for the two players at 28 games and
179 points for each as. totals for the
five sets.
In the final of the doubles event
Dean Mathey and G. M. Church, the
Princeton players, beat G. C. Shafer
and King Smith, 6-3, 7-9, 6-4, 12-10.

Now mixed doubles Is a very differ

not ntiidv with profit and pleasure
a few of the rudiments of the game?
The successful men's double team is
almost Invariably found side by side.
It Is criminal negligence for a mem
ber of the team to lose sight of the
exact position of his partner and they
should move forward and back with
machine-like accuracy.
What one does the other must do. no
matter who Is doing the hitting.

She must therefore have a very dis

Many times the rule can be varied
with great success; for Instance, the
lady serving might be very weak on
her back hand. Two things can be
done effectively.
The man can either stay in the back
of the court ready to take the back
hand return or, what is better, he can
be prepared to Jump across the court
immediately the service Is delivered,
thus allowing ths lady to play her fore
hand stroke.
If he desires, he may continually
stand on the same side, thus protecting
the weak back hand of his partner.
Wnea Man Serves It's Different,
When the man is serving, we find
much the Bams condition, provided he
elects to follow his service to the net
It case he does not follow in his service
and provided the lady remains back,
ths same old rule of side by side must
be employed.
Even though the lady persists In re

POUGHKBEPSIE. N. T.. Juns !0
Nine of the 15 crews In training for ths
Intercollegiate regatta, to bs held on
the Hudson next Friday afternoon, had
time trials this afternoon, and although
nothing official was given out their
coaches expressed satisfaction over the
results. .
Coach Conibesr with his powerful
crew was the first to start a trial row.
The crew was taken to the head of the
course at an easy pace, and when on ths
line they got the word. They kept to
a 34 stroke for an eighth of a mils,
and then settled down to ! and 2. At
the end of each of the first three miles
they bit a stroke up to 3!. and, entering
the. last mile, the crew settled down to
a long, powerful stroke.
The men were urged for the last mile
of the course, and covered the distance
in excellent time. It being officially
stated that the .last mile was made In
5:24 and the last half In 2:20. The
time of the last half Is official. The
unofficial time for the four miles was
51-11 mil this Is considered fast since
I the crew came down the course against
a light tide.
The men stood the task exceptionally
well, and rowed rapidly back to the

ed) and unless he Is lurs of his abll
Itv to successfully volley the return.
he must always allow the ball to pass
to ths lady.
She must try for a deep return,
which will enable her partner to re
tain his command of ths net
If her return falls short ths man
should bs keen to detect the trouble
and with all possible baste give up the
net and Join his partner, ones mors
playing side by side In the back of the
court, till he again sees his chine to
follow the return to the net
Dancer Signal Noted.
Once again we come to ths danger
signal for what happens to the lobsT
Of necessity the man must do must of
the hitting overhead, and to my mind
he should hit almost everything In ths
air, rather than allowing the ball to
bounce.
If It be a high deep lob It may bouncs
over bis partner's head and he cannot
expect to keep running around all of
the lobs fed to him by a successful lob
bing team.
It may not seem fair at this point for
him to do most of tho work, but I see
no other way of breaking up a manner
of attack which. If allowed to con
tinue, throws ons on the defenss and
takes no end of endurance to main
tain. Better have It over with quick.
In serving I hold it to be debatable
as to the propriety of delivering a hard
service t the lady and one which she
has no chance of returning, success
fully. Personally I like to see the
serve go to the lady, so that she has a
fair chance of once getting the ball
Into play.
On the other hand there can be noth
ing unfair or discourteous In taking all
the aces possible, no matter If the ace
Is gained because of great speed.
In case the lady is bewildered by a
very fast ball and la In danger of being
struck, the man should certainly slow
down the service.
There can be no possible objection In
taking advantage of the inability of the
lady to cover the same amount of court
as the gentleman.
To pass her either st the net or by
acute cross-court shooting Is entirely
proper. To work her weak back hand
is correct and proper. To ask her to
get out of the way and allow you to
hit a ground stroke, which rightfully
belongs to her. Is unfair and discourte
ous. It Is proper to smash the return
so that the ball will fall far out of court
and far beyond the possibility of return
by either lady or gentleman, but If tbe
ordinary run of smashes are aimed at
the lady with the same amount of
deadly venom as at the man there Is
danger of hitting her and a good hard
one hurts.
Summing It all up my rules ar thsse:
Don't serve aces at ths lady.
Don't smash at the lady.
Don't run in front of your partner.
Don't fail to take the net on a good
deep return, but pray, oh pray, don't
imagine that you are the "whole cheese"
and that your arms are 10 feet long.
v following these little hints I think
you will find mixed doubles one of the
most delightful 01 oul-oi-uoor gamts.
