Great State Tennis Event Will
Bring Out Galaxy of
Stars This Year.
M'CORMICK WILL DEFEND
History or 1'iske Challenge Trophy
Interesting Inability of Victory
Thrice Seems to Doom Cup to
'Perpetual Motion."
- II RALPH J. STAEHLI.
Play, in the Oregon state tennis
championships opens one week from
tomorrow and Chairman Wakeman, of
the Multnomah- Club tennis committee,
confidently expects to see the greatest
turnout of players ever brought to
gether for these titles.
As usual, the outside element will be
Strong. It is probable that E. K. Mc
cormick, the Ashland boy who won
the title last year, will be here again
to defend his possession of the Fiske
challenge bowl, the trophy which has
symbolized the Oregon title for 15
years and has not yet become the
property of any one man.
McCormick has been fairly success
ful this year and, while he has given
no definite assurance, he declared he
would try to make the trip from Los
Angeles, where he -attends school.
Francis Pratt, of Stanford Univer
sity, is another who is sure of being
here.
Some of these young Callfornians are
expected to bring about some surprises.
Wakeman declares they are about as
good as William Johnston was two
years ago.
J. W. Lewis, a brother of Percy Lew
is, of this city, is entered. Lewis won
the doubles with Foley in 111. San
Francisco will have two entries in Ro
land Roberts and H. Van Dyke.
The Junior department will cause
much interest, for this is the first
time that the youngsters have had a
chance to work for anything more than
the mere fun of winning the games.
Onlr Two Classes Scheduled.
The Junior championships will be set
tled in two classes only, the boys' sin
gles and girls1 singles, as it was
thought inexpedient to try doubles in
the first tournament.
The title events are the following:
Gentlemen's singles, for the champion
ship of Oregon; gentlemen's doubles,
for the championship of Oregon; ladles
singles, for championship of Oregon;
ladies" doubles, for championship of
Oregon; ladies' and gentlemen's dou
bles for championship of Oregon;
Junior boys' singles, for the champion
ship of Oregon; Junior girls' singles,
for the championship of Oregon; con
solation singles.
As the state championships become
older, that Fiske trophy is becoming a
more desired object each year. When
Colonel W. I. Fiske gave that big bowl
to the Oregon tennis players lie stip
ulated that it had to be won three
times before any man could keep it.
The three times did not necessarily
have to be consecutive, but still the
estate has not yet produced a player
capable of holding his own in three
tourneys. ' ..
Two men have been able to win it
twice, but no one expects to see them
do it again, and unless McCormick
comes north to defend the trophy, the
tennis players will have to cast about
lor an entirely new possibility.
W. A. Bethel First Winer.
The first man to win 'the cup was
W A. Bethel, but In the next year it
went to Walter A. Goes, then a North
west champion. But even Goss was
unable to hang on to it and lost it in
1901 to A. T. Goward.
In 1902 Bethel made a strong ' come
back" and won it for the second time,
but in 1903 L. R. Freeman took it away
from him. The next two years it went
to men who have been little heard-of
since. R. B. Powell took it in 1904. G.
H. Bush won it in 1905 and Walter A.
Goss made a return which gave him
possession in 1906.
Joseph Tyler won it in 1907. W. A.
McBurney in 1908. B. H. Wickersham
In 1909. Nat Emerson in 1910, C. E.
Foley in 1911. William Johnston in 1912
and E. R. McCormick in 1913. ,
The winners of the doubles will meet
F. H. V. Andrews and L. R. Richardson,
of Portland, present holders of the
Multnomah cups, presented by the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club in
1908. These cups must be won three
times, not necessarily consecutively,
before becoming the permanent prop
erty of the holders, and have been won
as follows: 1908. Tyler and McBurney;
1909. Wickersham and Goss: 1910.
Wickersham and Gorrlll: 1911. Foley
t 1412 JnhnRtrtn and Fottrell.
The winner of the women's singles
will have to meet Miss Sarah Living
stone, of Seattle, present holder of the
J Wesley Ladd trophy. This was pre
sented by J. Wesley Ladd in 1913, and
must be won three times to be

player.

players are Just aa enthusiastic over
the chances of Inman, who has dis
played such gameness in many of his
matches that he is known as "The
Twickenham Terror."
Fans Figure It Out.
Many American fans think that as
the English game consists so much of
winning and losing hazards into pock
ets that Inman will be hopelessly out
classed, but when he was in New York
last year he convinced Maurice Daly,
the dean of the New York roomkeep
ers, that he was a clever performer at
caroms. Friends of Hoppe believe it
will not be any trouble for him to
make 25 consecutive caroms and then
play another kind of shot and soon get
the balls in position for another run of
25.
Manager R. B. Benjamin, who is
looking after Inman's end of the
match, is back In New York after a
few weeks spent In London. He re
ports that Inman refused a big offer
for his end of the International match.
The English champion is confident the
series will be the blgrgest thing of its
kind in international billiards.
Knglish Style Players Come.
Inman's successful invasion of Can

leading players at the English style of
billiards to come in search of new pas

Australian player, already has con

quite possible that Reeoe. the former
English champion, also will appear In
Canada early next season. So far no
dates have been booked for Gray in
the United States, but it is quite pos
sible he may be seen in several of
the leading cities as there is no doubt
there is a tendency of the men. who
pull the billiard strings to get a com
bination . of the best points of the
English and American styles and so
produce a game that will afford gen
uine international competition.

a card with a gross 84 and a handicap
of 19. His net was 5.
Such "gum shoe" tactics placed all

For further mystification. if you

it back and forth with all their

BRITISH PROFESSIONAL WHO
WILL HAVE CHARGE OF
GEARUART LINKS.
Georsre II. F.ddy.
George H. Eddy, who has been
engaged as instructor and super
intendent of the golf course at
Gearhart has had many years of
experience. His first work to
ward developing the game was
on the course at Telant, Corn
wall, where he spent three
years. He then laid out a course
on the Scllly Islands, being with
that club nearly six years.
Mr. Eddy later laid out and
built an 18-hole course at Pen
zance, Cornwall. In this coun
try he has been employed in
teaching golf and laying out
courses In North Carolina, being
at Raleigh nearly four years.

ed in the game, he sent to Chicago
and then to New York for an outfit,
but discovered that one could not be
procured In the United States, so final
ly succeeded In getting what he want
ed from Victoria, for It's an English
game deriving the title from Badmin
ton, the seat of the Duke of Beaufort
In Gloucestershire.
Badminton was originally brought to
England from India, where it is still
popular, and was a sort of predecessor
of lawn tennis which It much resem
bles, as there are courts marked off, a
net. and rackets: but instead of balls,
a small shuttlecock ts used made of
white feathers, and as It weighs only
a quarter of an ounce, very light rack
ets are played with, about halt the
weight of an ordinary tennis racket.
The game cannot be played out of doors
If the wind is strong, for the shuttle
cock is so light and airy, it soon be
comes unmanageable as a thistledown.
Badminton makes' a very lively
game, as the shuttlecock is never al
lowed to rebound, and must always be
taken on the fly, both In service and
after It is in play, and sometimes the
rallies are very long and a player has
to be exceedingly anile and quick in
his returns to be at all successful. For
tunately for his breathing apparatus,
the court is about half the size of a
tennis court, being 44 feet long by 20
feet In width, so in a game of singles
th contestant relies more on his pow
ers of plrouettin and rapid smashing
than his ability to cover extensive ter.
ritory.
The net is about five feet high, and
the meshes are much finer than in a
tennis net. to prevent tho feathers of
the shuttlecock getting caught. Oliver
K. Jeftery has established a badminton
court on his place over at Irvlngton.
and Ed Fautz and the Warrlners are
among other Portlanders who have sent
over to Canada for the necessary para
phernalia to play the new old game.
These enthusiasts are planning to have
a court Installed at the Multnomah
Club during the coming Winter, for
the game is preferably played indoors
on account of the wind, and in Eng
land Is nearly always played on cov
ered courts.

Between Lewis and Powers Draw.
NORTH BEND, Or., July 4. (Spe
cial.) In the boxing matches held here
last night, Frank Mason knocked out
Frank Holbrook in one round, when
there was but one second left after
the count.
In the main event Referee Joe Schott
called the match a draw, although
many fans say Jack Lewis had the
best of the bout with Powers by a
wide margin. Lewis had several knock
downs to his credit to Powers' two.
Powers fought a defensive game and
Lewis carried the battle all the way.
Lewis had seven rounds and Powers
two. yet the referee saw the finish
differently from what the crowd de
cided. Should the boys come together
again it Is believed by -many that
Powers, although a finished fighter and
a mixer all the way, will be defeated.
