DEL. MONTE, Cal., June 24. Will
iam Johnston won the Pacific states
tennis championship today by defeat
ing Clarence Griffin, his doubles part
ner. 9-7, 6-4. 5-7. 9-7.
Griffin never played a better same.
His hitting and placing were perfect
and as long as there were obstacles
to overcome he appeared to be invin
cible. He could, not however, stand
prosperity, and weakened whenever he
had Johnston in a tight place. In the
second set Griffin achieved 4-2 and.
40-15. He then threw away his lead
by serving a series of four doubles
faults. This was the turning point
of the match.
Johnston's service won him many
points and his forearm drives were
deadly in their effectiveness. It was
a.n even, hard-fought match, in which
Johnston's superior generalship proves!
the deciding factor.
In the junior singles Elmer Grif-
tin, a brother of Clarence, won his
way into the finals by defeating Frank
Winne, of Los Angeles. Roland Roberts
disposed of Morgan Fottrell and to
morrow Griffin and Roberts will fight
It out to decide who goes to New York.

TF the Portland Beavers were as hard

of Allan T. Baum's hirelings would be
a miserable one.

f orgetting that it was there, the bag
gage man sat down on the box.
The cub didn't enjoy his presence

on his other heel. Lou was spiked on
his right heel yesterday. A late re
port from Doc Clough. Portland trainer
js to the effect that the Portland
mauler may be out of the game for a
week.
Manager McCredie will be-the hap
piest man in Portland when the Bees
leave tonight for Vernon. They have
brought nothing but misfortune. Wille
was injured Wednesday when he turned
Vi ankle going into second base, and
I-ou Guisto's injury of yesterday bungs
1hr team up for fair. Wilie won't be
ready until Tuesday at least, and about,
the best thing that can be expected of
Guisto is to see him in next Wednes
day's affair against the Angels.
Stumpf or Roche will be forced to
play first base today. Yesterday wit
nessed the first inning that Guisto has
missed on the initial corner since he
broke in with the Beavers. If Stumpf
plays first. Ward, who is far from be
ing well, will be forced to play short
stop. Manager McCredie has one consola
tion. When ihe Angels arrive here
Tuesday for a 10-game series all of
the Beavers should be in trim. By

Wilie's ankle will be in shape, and it
is to be hoped that Guisto will be ready

several titles at the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition at San Fran

before the contests were held when she
did several sensational stunts in prac
tice, stunts that the other entries
thought were impossible.

of Frank E. Watkins, one of the vet
eran members and swimming enthusi
asts of the Multnomah Club, and Phil
Patterson, chairman of the swimming
and diving committee cf the club, that
Mrs. Meyer was able to leave last night
for California. .

and as the next meeting of the board
of directors of the club is not until
tomorrow night, it was necessary to
act and act Quickly. Mr. watkins ana
Mr. Patterson visited the members of
the board individually and all were
heartily in favor of sending Mrs. Meyor
to represent the R inged " M institution
next Thursday night. It will receive
official sanction tomorrow night.
Ten dives are listed on the main
number of the programme at Los A
geles and all will be from a 10-foot
board. Mrs. Meyer plans on entering
every event in which she will be eligi
ble, whether they be Pacific coast

her main idea is to lead the field in
the National titles. She will remain in
California until next week.

Everding Park traps, near Jenns Sta
tion, for Monday. July 10. A. W. Strow

.
Tt is the desire of almost every trap
shooter in the country to get into the
2000-or-more-target class, but here on
the Pacific Coast it is with difficulty
that this is attained. Thi3 is one of
the big reasons why the Old Policy
shoot has been scheduled by the Port
land Gun Club July 10.
Several one-day tournevs have been
billed by gun clubs in the vicinity of
fortiana to help the blue rock smash
ers of Oregon and Washington in se
curing the coveted mark. James K.
Simpson, president of the Stevenson,
Wash., Gun Club, has received notifica
tion that the Interstate Association
scheduled an "Old Policy" gathering at
Stevenson. Wash., but no definite date
has been set as yet. In all probability
tne programme will call for 200 regis
tered mud saucers.
H. R. Everding. ex-president of the
Portland Gun Club, is fast getting into
conaition lor another campaign at the
traps. He was operated on last month
at the Good Samaritan Hospital, and at
present he is at Shipherd s Springs,
Carson, Wash. He will return to Port
land in time to take in the July 10
affair at the Everding Park traps of
the local clurj.
.
Frank C. Riehl. one of the most dodu-
lar professionals of the Northwest, who
hails from Tacoma, Wash., is sure that
me recora atter.nance at the annua
conclave of the Pacific Indians next
month at Tacoma, Wash., will be
broken to smithereens. Five days of
trapshooting are placed in the pro
gramme from July. IS through July 22.
At least three squads of Portlanders
are expected to- make the northern
journey.
...
Astoria. Oregon City and St. Helens
all have enthusiastic trapshooting gun
clubs and efforts will be made to have
each one secure a registered shoot
under the "Old Policy" plan.
...
The annual Pacific Coast handicap,
slated for the Everding Park traps in
September, already is creating interest.
A. W. Strowger. president of the Port
land Gun Club, has received inquiries
from as far south as San Diego. Cal..
and 25 shooters are expocted from all
parts of the Bear State.
The shoot comes after the Grand
American Handicap at St. Louis.

publican nominee for District Attorney,
he holds the doubles championship. If
Roberts wins the singles this year, the
silver trophy offered three years ago

Unless some outside star enters, how
ever. Adams should win easily, as his
only serious opponent, Boudinot Con

approach Adams' class.
