AMERICA PUTS UP BEST McLoughlin and Williams Best Bets and McLoughlin Is Better Than Williams, bnt He Has Yet to Beat Visitors. Early in the season, before hope had her radiant fronti3pic.e hammered into a uiottled pulp. It was generally con ceded in America that Uncle Sam would liavo a fairly easy time of it retaining the Davis cup and the tennis cham pionship. Uncle Sam may retain the Davis cup, but It will be through no Arcade of Pipedom nor over any highway of Easy Stuff. In fact, it is by no means a probability that Uncle Sam will retain the cup at a.11 unless his entries are able to reach the flneBt heights they have ever known These United States of ours have en tered a team of exceptionally strong caliber. It Is the best team to be picked. It has speed and stamina and courage and experience plus skill. McLoughlin and Williams are our best bets. But Norman Brocks and An thony Wilding, the Australian entries, in place of having slipped down the de scending trail jot time, have reached the best form they have ever known. Wilding is playing as brilliantly as he ever played, and the redoubtable Brookes has added something to his ancient mastery. A battle between Brookes and Wild ing against McLoughlin and Williams in the singles should furnish the great est tennis the game has known for many seasons. But as Wilding and Brookes haven't slipped, then it is cer tain that Messrs. McLoughlin and Wil liams must improve to keep Old Glory fluttering above the field. For McLoughlin is a shade better than Williams, and McLoughlin has never yet been able to beat either Brookes or Wilding In a match. Wild ing beat the star Californian in three straight sets last year and now Brookes, who beat the Comet in Aus tralia, passes along this year and up sets Wilding. Nothing short of brilliance plus steadiness will beat the Australian stars. They are not to be outgeneraled or thrown into any rout. The mighty smashes of McLoughlin have not yet been able to break either's cool, sure defense. They play tennis a Mathew son pitches, putting deadly control and unruffled poise above all other factors. BIG SHOOT IS DOE SOON GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP TO BE STAGED AT DAYTON SOON. Accommodations for Participants and Visitors Will Be Furnished With Tent Cnpnclty for 10,000. With International yacht races, Anglo-American polo games and other sports claiming wide public attention, the average sportsman has largely overlooked a purely American sporting classic which, viewed from the stand point of number of participants, is the greatest on the calendar of games, said a widely-known sporting writer, in describing the Grand American (Trap shooting) Handicap whic.i will be held at Dayton, O., September 8, 9, 10 and 11. The holding of the Grand American Handicap at Dayton is a "return en gagement," the big event having been held in the Ohio city last year. The 1913 entry list included more than 500 trapshooters. Every state was repre sented and more than 100 cities, which gives an Idea of the National character of the contest. To stage this year's affair will re quire a small army of "trappers," "pullers," referees, scorers, "squad hustlers" and office help. The field where the shooting will be done is the largest ever used for the purpose, or perhap.s any other sport ing event. A "white city" of canvas I y- : 'i k. - , ,-, 1 1. 1 m .UAl RICE M'LOlOHllSi. I AGAINST All a 1 KAJjIA. tents, large enough to quarter a bri gade of soldiers, will rise over night like a mushroom. The biggest of the canvas spreads, and to be known as the shooters' rest, will be as large as the "big top" In a good sized circus. This will provide a recreation center and meeting place for the contestants and thousands of their friends. The scoreboard will be located It this tent, also a display of American arms and ammunition. Among others there will be a wo men's rest for the fair trapshooters and their friends; a locker tent with sepaate compartments for contestants' guns and shooting accessories; a dining tent, capable of seating 200 or more at a time; a quick-lunch tent, barber shop, emergency hospital, a wash tent, i . i , for newspaper corre spondents, magazine writers. news photographers and inoving-piciui yv erators; another tent will "house ial egraph and railway ticket offices. With a probable list of entries in ex cess of 700 and an attendance of more tiiuui n,.ctHtors. arrangements Ml. I.

The winner of tho Detroit free-for-all pace. Frank Bogash. Jr.. Is a brown gelding. 9 years old. He was bred by E. C. Warner, of Sand Hill. Quebec, a small village four miles out of the city of sherbrooke. Until he was 5 years old he was Just a farm horse, and It is a matter of record that In the Spring of his i.-year-old form, along with another of Mr. Warner's horses, lie put in 40 acres of crop doing his share of the plowing, etc. Later that year a French-Canadian plumbor named Delorme bought him of Mr. Warner and began training the horse to race, probably for the reason that there is speed in his blood. Ma sire being the one-time famous pacing stal lion Frank Bogash, 2:03. and his dam Phylllss Stanford, a fast trotting mare, by Stamford, 2:26Vi- Delorme had not much success with him at first but that Fall Frank, Jr.. showed him a mile in 2:13. The fol lowing Winter he was started a couple of times on the Ice, but on account of lack of condition did not make a very good showing. The next Summer, however, he won 13 races on the Eastern half-mile tracks without losing a heat, in the Winter of 1912-13 Ed Baker, of Toron to, bought the gelding from Tommj Murphy, and his remarkable success In Murpl:y's hands Is a matter of history. Frank Bogash, Jr., is the fastest horse by records ever bred in the Do minion of Canada, and not a few of the turf critics believe him to be a sure enough two-minute pacer. It Is Interesting to note that Mr. Ba ker also bought the great Joe Patchen II 2:0314, for his present owner, R. J. MacKenzie and that neither Mr. Mac kenzie nor Mr. Murphy saw their pur chases until after tho horses became thalr property. OLYMPIC RULE BK1NGS Gl.OOM Inclusion of Trapshootlng, However, Is Hailed With Joy. NEW YORK. Aug. 8 (Special.) The gloom that permeated every high way and by-way of Mudville when the mighty Casey struck out. as related by one DeWolf Hopper in his melancholy lay of "Casey at the Bat," has settled like a wet blanket over a wide expanse of fandom because the Olympic com mittee in solemn session has decided that baseball is not an international sport within the meaning of the rules and regulations of tho International Olympic Congress. In striking contrast to the depression of the fans is the Joy of gun bugs of nearly every civilized country, for trap shooting will have Its usual place on tho programme. It will bo recalled that during the last Olympic sports, an American farm er -jay" R. Graham, of Illinois vanquished the "clay bird" busters of the entire world for the individual championship and was one of the five Americans that carried off the squad laurels. And this with the American shooting under the handicap of the gun-below-the-elbow style required by the Olympic rules, while the logical way is that practiced throughout the United States the shooter standing at the firing-point with the gun to his shoulder when he calls "Pull." That American trapshooters will give a good' account of themselves is a cer tainty; that the honor of again leading the world In shooting clay saucers will again come to the United States Is tho hope of every American lover of out door sport. NO. as. BIG LEAGUE TIMBER IS HEAVY ON COAST Drafting Chances Rosy for Majors in All Teams as Season Nears End. YOUNGSTERS SHOW GAIN Small Per Cent Mute seen v.-rvue In Fast Coin jiii n While Kct Hue Not Hoaelied speed and Are Good .Material. BY ROSCOE KAWOBTT. Certainly tho Pacific Coast League has its usual supply of major league timber for draft delivery. Not only that but it has a bounteous crop, more prolific than usual. It seems to us, and all that now remains to make them real big lcaguera Is tho annual draft Invasion by means of which tho majors can take their pick of any $n000 player for $2."00 and then sell him back for I2T-00 If ho doesn t make good. Some system, eh? Others may have different notions, hut here is our list ot Coasters who look rlpo for American. National or Federal plucking: Portland Derrick, first base, right hand batter and thrower. .300 hitter and fast on tho bases; Doane. out fielder, left-hand batter, right-hand thrower, consistent .300 hitter, faat on bases and good fielder; Itodgers. sec ond base, left-hand batter, rlaht-' and thrower, consistent. .300 hitter, awk ward but steady fielder and loads league in base stealing; Luber, out fielder, left-hand batter. left-hand thrower. always dangerous hitter, wonderful fielder and fair on hasos. Bancroft. Infielder, right-hand batter and thrower; fair hitter, sensational snd steady fielder and quick as a flash. Other Tcama Haxe t ani1ldae. Venice Bayless. outfielder, right hand thrower left-hand batter, con sistent .300 hitter, great fielder and fast on bases; Klepfer. pitcher, right hander, youngster of great promise. San Francisco Schmidt, catchor. right-hand thrower and batter, good head, fair arm and wonderfully fast, Sepulveda, catcher, right-hand thrower and batter, youngster highly touted by Manager Howard. Los Angeles Khmkr, pitcher, right hander, mere boy but stands 6 feet or 3 inches tall and Is said to be slated for Washlugton: Holes, catcher, one of best In league, right-hand thrower and batter, particularly dan gerous In a pinch. Sacramento-Stroud, pitcher, right hander, big. six-footer with tremen dous speed and good control, said l be slated for Detroit; Williams, pitch er, sent back by Detroit this Spring looks good Oakland Middleton, outfielder, left hand thrower and batter, fair fielder and base runner, consistent .300 hitter, Murphy, infielder. fast as chain light ning and a ,STJ hitter. Inexperienced. There may be others but these look like the pith of the league, nearly all of them young fellows under 24 ami bound to Improve. Bayless, Holes and Schmidt have Just about reached then zenith but the rest are still on tho upgrade. Some Ilnxe lleen Tried. Of these LI players only five or six have ever been tried out by a major league club. Doano was bought by Cleveland from the Virginia State League alonn about 1909 as a pitcher and from there drifted to New Orleuns and then to Portland. He has never had a real big league trial as an outfielder, and ought to make good on almost any big league staff. Walter has polished up his fielding wonderfully since Join ing the Beavers, when Buddy Ityan went to the Naps In 1912. Middleton broke In at Wichita In the Western League In 10S and has hit over .300 ever since. He had a short shrift with the Chicago Sox In 1912. Devlin drafted him from Wichita last Fall for tho Oaks. Klepfer came to Hogan from the New York Yanks but he was a raw. Inexperienced kid then and has stead ily Improved In the past two years on the Coast. The same is true of Wil liams tho youngster sent to Sacra mento by Detroit this Spring. Wil liams worked In only one game for Jennings. He was unfortunate in draw ing five errors behind him In two In nings and had to quit, being sent Vet In response to Wolverton's demand. It is understood that Detroit still holds a claim on his services. Players Steadily Improve. Bayless, Stroud and Schmidt have also had trials In faster company, we believe, but as to when or how wo will admit being a trifle hay. Uus Fisher, the big Portland back stop. Is another who has had his day In the majors and come back stronger than ever. Qui went from Portland with Vcan Gregg and Eugene Krapp In 1911 and stuck there and at New York until the mldseason of 1I2. He Is now back with Portland and playing the best ball of his career. Gus Is hitting close around .3i0 and anybody who Is stinging the pelt for 350 Isn't sitting around on his haunches letting somebody else do the prancing. The major league draft season from September li to 20, but the Fed erals can go out and grab 'em any old time. Remember that, boys, so do your Fall shopping early. TRAIL UP TILLAMOOK GOOD Top of Head Near Seaside May Now Be Beached Kaslly. SEASIDE, Or., Aug". 8. (Special.) An excellent trail now leads from this city to the extreme top of Tillamook. The trail was built several years ago, but had become so befouled by fallen trees and brush that It was scarcely passable until the Seaside Improve ment Club hired a couple of men to clear It. Hundreds of Summer visitors now make the trip, as tho two and a half ml' s beyond the end of the board walk Is well supplied with benches, fresh water springs and luscious huckle berries. An exceptionally good view of Til lamook Rock and lighthouse Is obtain able from the top of the head.
