No records were broken In the third annual Willamette River marathon swim yesterday, but the work of the contestants brought forth some real surprises. Prank Kiernan, Jr.. of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, fin ished first In 1 hour and 33 minutes, while Miss Anna Mayhall. a 14-year-old girl, of Newport, Or., who proved to be the sensation of the 1916 event, led the women to the tape in 2 hours 4 minutes 51 1-6 seconds. Miss Anna was the seventh swimmer to cross the finish line, despite the fact that 22 men and five other women en tered the water at the Oregon Yacht Club. The women were started three minutes after the men left the starting float, and immediately the little pro tege of Don Vickers started out in the lead, never to be headed by a mermaid. Girl Outswlma Men. The fact that she swam seventh in the race, thereby tiring out 16 of the men entries even though she started three minutes later, shows that the little girl from the seacoast town has a future before her In the swimming world. She took to the water for the first time a year ago last June and since then, with the able instruction of Don Vickers, the Eugene athlete who last year made the swim, she has in creased her speed and stamina while In the water. Bus Douglas, the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club junior, swam a re markable race for the first two miles, holding Kiernan down until Wlnde muth Baths was reached. They spurted a little bit, but the going was too tough for the Junior and he dropped back to his regular stride, ending the day in second place just eight minutes behind the leader. The record of one hour, twenty-two minutes and thirty seconds, made by the two-time winner, Norman Ross, was never in danger yesterday. Kier nan was 10 minutes behind the rec ord time. Cody la Pleased Man. Jack Cody, swimming Instructor of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, is responsible for the Willamette River Marathon swim of three miles, and he was a happy man yesterday. The start was made from the Oregon Yacht Club float and the finish was at the foot of Salmon street, on the West Side. Quite a crowd of spectators lined the Haw thorne bridge and the docks adjacent to the finishing float. Jack now has the idea of holding a race across the Willamette River and return, the start and finish to be the float at the foot of Salmon street. This is about a half mile swim, and should the proposition receive encouragement he may decide to hold the short swim Instead of the present three-mile af fair. Those who started yesterday were: Mrs. R. F. Hesse. Miss Anna Mayhall. Mrs. Dorothy Oberg, Miss Gertrude Bud den, Miss Bergljot Hovde, Miss Owen Jane, Merle Wadsworth, George Mima,, Harry Eddas, Elmer Mayer, Lawrence Cook; E. F. Pautz. Julius H.

IRON MAN" SN BAD Northwestern Directors to Oust McGinnity. TACTICS ARE NOT LIKED Style of Play Put Tp by Bntte Manager Is Disapproved and League Officials Plan to Get Kid of Jlim. TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 19. (Spe cial.) The orchestra composed of the directors of the Northwestern League, withvPrexy Bobby Blewett handling the baton, is playing the prelude for the swan song that Joe McGinnity and Frank Redpath are billed to sing about the time the season closes. The di rectors said unofficially that they are through with McGinnity and they pre dict that they will have something of ficially to say when the time comes for balancing accounts and awarding the pennant. There are at least four clubs bitterly opposed to McGinnity and the style of play he has put up during the present season. Dugdale Is outspoken in his opinion. Russ Hall has left no one mistaken as to his ideas, and President Farr, of Spokane, la ready to Introduce the elimination of McGinnity as the first order of business when the league directors meet. McGinnity Char are Baseless. "This stuff about Williams tamper ing with Gulgnl and getting him to strike out when the bases were loaded Is the last straw," said a Northwestern League director to the writer here last week. "McGinnity has been going around In a high-handed fashion, but that proved to be about the limit. Mc Ginnity should know better than to make a charge of that character. It la Injurious to the game and could not. be proved by any series of circum stances." "I: made careful inquiry about the play." said President R. L. Blewett, of the Northwestern League, when he was here last Sunday. "From what I can learn. Gulgnl took a vicious -cut at a sharply-breaking curve ball and misaed It. The umpire working in the gsrae declared that it was his opinion that Gulgnl tried his best to connect and that McGlnnity's charge was not only vicious but unfounded." Directors Are Displeased. Directors in the Northwestern League are thoroughly dissatisfied with both McGinnity and Redpath. They feel that these two have not the best interests of the league at heart and that the sooner they are induced to dispose of their holdings In the circuit the better. McGinnity Is reportedto be willing to leave if he can dispose of his team, ns he is quoted as saying that the season has not been a successful one. Redpath has also been a thorn In the side of the directors, as he has had much to do with a number of the un pleasant situations that have come t p since McGinnity and he went to Butte. McGinnity has gone none too well in the Montana metropolis and he has -aid he Is planning to return to his iron foundry in Oklahoma and give up base ball for good. "We all feel sorry for the tough luck McGinnity has had since he has been in the league," another director Is quoted as saying, "but he Is largely le sponslble for a good deal of It. We do not want to kick him out of the ei-rculti but we will do everything pos sible to assist him to dispose of ., nis the Water After Winning the Event. holdings and retire gracefully. If that is impossible, some other action t'ill have So be taken." MOXSTEll SWORD FISH LANDED "Tiger of the Sea" Caught at Cata lina Weighs. 37 7 Pounds. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug. 19. (Spe cial.) After landing the first broad bill sword fish of the season off Cata lma Island, H. W. Adams, of Vermajo Park, N. M., three days luter made a new world's record by capturing a 377-pound monster, measuring 11 feet 11 inches long. The huge "tiger of the sea" was .caught on regulation 24 24 tackle after a vicious battle lasting over two hours, during which his boat sev ral times was nearly overturned. W. C. Boschen held the former rec ord, with a 355-pound fish caught off Catalina In 1913. Further record catches are expected as this is the first season the banks have been protected from net fishers. JO LOOMIS SELECTED NATIONAL 100-YARD CHAMPION TO MAKE STOCKHOLM TRIP. With Ted Meredith Already Named, but One More Athlete to Be Chosen for Big Swedish Meet. NEW YORK. Aug. 19. (Special.) Jo G. Loomla. the National 100-yard champion. Is not modes when it comes to telling about bis ability. ' Frederick W. Rubien. secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, received word from the Swedish National Gymnastic and Sport Association, of Stockholm, that three American athletes were wanted to round out a galaxy of sen sational track and field stars at the big Stockholm meet around the middle of October. Mr. Rubien was named to make the selection and right off the bat he named Ted Meredith, worltj's champion quarter and half-miler. He was some what undecided as to the other two men, so he wanted to wait until ho could look over the boys .at the Na tional track and field championships at Newark, N. J., September 8 and 9. His work has been cut down to making the selection of but one more as Jo Loomls wrote a letter to Mr. Rubien, which was enough to make him a party of the American trio to cross the Atlantic. The lone athlete will be named on the night of September 9. Here are the lines that caused the selection: Chicago A. A. C, August 9, 1918. Dear Mr. Rifblen: 1 hear that you are going to select one or two athletes to go with Ted Meredith to Stockholm, Sweden. I would like very much to go and would appreciate ta If you will consider me In your selection. I notice that the Boaton papers have been booming Drew as a man that ought to go, being the best sprinter of the day. I take an objection to that In the tact that I have beaten him for both the outdoor and Indoor National championships, and will do It again at Newark- Drew has not won a championship since 1913, and has only three championships to his credit in his whole career. This trip is a pretty large propositon, and I am very anxious to make It and so want to ask that my record for the past tnree years be considered. I have won six National titles in the last two years and the 1U0 yards for two years straight. I can assure you that 1 am now in the best shape t have ever been and expect to have my best year. Have worked hard for my three and perhaps four events for the Newark meet. I have accomplished 9 4-5 seconds four times this Spring and leaped 6 feet 4 Inches In the high Jump; 25 8-5 sec onds for the low hurdles and 22 feet 8 inches in the broad Jump. 1 believe that with Ted running his two events we could make some excellent show ing for America during the Summer in Sweden it I got a chance to go. I know that you have been very fair with me on your previous selections, auch as your all American team, and I hope that you will allow me the chance to go. Sincerely. JO G.

FAVORITES ARE NAMED Cleveland Indiana and St, Louis Browns, of Americans; Phils and Red Sox, of Nation als, Are Liked Best. The scattering of former Portland Players among the leading teams in the major leagues has caused the local fans to pick their favorite teams to share in the world's series money. t-oniana is well represented in every team that has a chance for the rag in both leagues with the exception ol the Chicago White Sox, New York Giants and the Boston Braves. There- are six teams in the American League that seem to have a chance to win the pennant in that circuit. They are: Boston. Chicago, Cleveland, Sr Louts, New York and Detroit. Four clubs stand out in the National Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston. New York. Ex-Beavers In Majors. Here are the ex-Portland players with- the championship contenders whom Portland fans are watching: American League Boston. Pitchers Carl Mays and Veau Gregg; Cleveland, Outfielder John Gladstone Graney and Pitcher Stanley Coveleskle; St. Louis, Manager Fielder Jones and Pitcher Bobby Groom: New York. Shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh; Detroit, Pitcher Bill James. Outfielder Harry Hellmann and Catcher Delmar Baker. Fielder Jones and Delmar Baker never had anything to do with former Portland aggregations, but Portland fans claim them, for Fielder resides here and Dei Baker is a Sherwood, Or., boy who for merly attended a Portland business col lege and played ball around Portland before going to the American League from the Union Association. National League favorites with Port land fans are: Brooklyn. Shortstop Ivan M. Olson; Philadelphia, Shortstop David Bancroft. Following are some views taken on the situation by prominent Portland lovers of the National pastime: Doc Anderson I like Pat Moran's Phillies. Don't see how anyone can forget the snap and fire of Dave Ban croft. Olson lias Plenty Gall. Ralph L. Brackett Ivan Olson's nerve has kept him In the big sho-w since he left Portland. If the rest of that Brooklyn gang have the same amount of gall, they're a cinch. Robert L. "Bob" Stevens Roger Peckinpaugh was the smoothest thing we ever had on shortstop. His presence in the Yankee lineup along with that of Slim Love, the former Angel, and Joe Gedeon, of Salt Lake, makes me pull for Bill Donovan's crew. "Rosie" Rosenthal Fielder Jones always. Can you forget Bobby Groom and Babe Borton, the former Tiger first baseman? Herman and Max Politz We'll bet our clothing store on Detroit. Look at the ex-Coasters and ex-Portlanders there. Harry Hellmann was the great est thing Jimmy Richardson ever dug up. Bill James' smoke and Del Baker's youthful activities. Then there Is "Tubby" Spencer. "Pep" Young and Oscar Vitt, you know. We're for the Tigers. James J. Richardson My sympathy is always with the "under dog." For that reason .there is a warm spot in A Star, Frank Kiernan. Jr. -3. Little my heart for Cleveland. But I wouldn't be sore if the gang of ex-Coasters in cluding my old pal. Harry Hellmann. would pull out ahead in the American League tussle. Judge W. N. Gatens All Cleveland. Trls Speaker and the ex-Coasters Coveleskle, Graney. Gandll and Ivan Howard. If Louis Guisto went back at once, I venture it is safe 'to say that every fan in Portland would pull for the Indians. Graney is the greatest lead-off man in the world. Here are those who like the Red Sox which has on its roster Carl Mays. Vean Gregg and Agnow, Lewis. Harry Hooper and "Dutch" Leonard, ex-Coast boys: Harvev Newell, Archie Parrott, J. E. Ed" Werlein. William T. Pangle. W. P. Strandborg, Ed Dietrich, Bill Gold man and Captain Mellie A. Hackett. Giants Are Popular. Taking everything into considera tion most Portland fans would like to see the New York Giants and Boston Braves crowded out of the races to allow the ex-Portland pastimers to sleze an opportunity of sharing the world's series coin. Thoy are pretty strong for the White Sox. who are well represented with Coast League talent. Rowland has Weaver. McMullerv. Wil liams, Lynn, "Perry and Ness. Boston has only one star. Joe Wilhoit, In which there is Interest here, while there is no one on the Giants whom Portland fans care about. The Philadelphia Nationals are really the favorites of Portland fandom in the National League. Besides Bancroft there is a lot of Interest In Grover Cleveland Alexander and Eddie Burns, the former St. Mary s College boy. Next to the Phillies comes Brooklyn in the Tener circuit, for Uncle Wilbert Robinson has on his payroll besides Ivan Olson, George Cutshaw and Jimmy Johnston. ex-Oaklanders. Coast League Gossip TTTEATHER has caused the post- YV ponement of 42 games In the Cen tral League this season. If the rest of the Coast League towns fared as badly as Portland this season, this circuit would smash that record to smithereens. The Beavers will be home Tuesday. Then Blank and his gang led by Cap tain Buddy Ryan will onoe more be among vs. "The team that beats Los Angelas, said a fan. "will finish first." It might be added that the team that doesn't beat the Beavers and the Oaks wnl finish seventh. e It. is understood that an expert ac countant Is not required to keep. track of the games won by the Beavers. m e It 111 behooves a humane person, however, to make sport of the Beav ers. As a famous Captain in the Spanish-American War Bald, "Don't cheer, boysl The poor devils are dying." Up to date nobody has put forth the theory that Mac's team is afflicted with infantile paralysis. Members of the Salt Lake team &re said to believe the Angels will win a pennant. Just what the Angels think the Saints will do is not included in the dispatch from Salt Lake. The fellow In the flat next door who lets an Intermittent alarm clock en tertain him for 20 minutes every morn ing at 6 ought to be made to play with the Beavers or the Oaks or watch a wrestling match. A fan In Los Angeles, after watch ing Grover Lowdermilk perform at Washington Park, gives it as his opin ion that the opposing batters ousl.t to begin to swing at the ball when Grover is winding up. W. C. Condit has completed 50 years as pastor of Ashland. Ky., Presbyterian church. He succeeded his father and navvr baa held J any other pastorate. RAISING' OF PLAYER LIMIT SUGGESTED Plan Would Permit Teams to Develop Youngsters, Says Darmody, of Vernon. LEAGUE HAS NO FARM Question of Boosting- Limit From 1 8 to a 1 Men Favored by Some Di rectors and May Be Settled at Xext Meeting. At the next meeting of the Paclflo Coast League directors there will be another effort to hoist the player limit. This step will not be taken to pro vide soft Jobs tor seasoned veterans, but with the laea of developing stal wart young players. Three of these will be developed by each club. If the. plan of T. J. Darmody, the Vernon club's representative In the Paclflo Coast League, is adopted at the annual meeting of ye league directors in No vember. The plan as outlined calls for boost ing the limit from 18 to 21 men. three of these to be youngsters who have never played In any league above class B. These broilers will be used in cases of emergencies only. At other times they will be simply working out with the regulars, or sitting on the bench and absorbing baseball wisdom from the real wise guys. Emergencies Would Be Met. Darmody says that the present player limit Is good and sufficient, barring illness. Injuries, corns, sprains, bunions, floating cartiluges. gout, ennui and other frailties to which ballplayers are heir, but when these things attack the athletes in large numbers It sometimes is necessary to play a pitcher in the outfield, or elsewhere, which does not look good and tends to hurt the pitch er's pride. The youngsters could fill In during a crisis of this kind, leaving the pitchers to nurse their pride on the bench and keep It in good working order. However, to Inculcate into the callow youths the germs of baseball knowledge, train their feet to run the bases, their arms to throw and their eyes to see the ball while standing at the plate is the main wrinkle sought. In a way, the Paclflo Coast League Is alone in Its greatness. Becrfuse of this Isolation, with no near-by "farm." the development of youngsters Is a most difficult matter. Under the pres ent limit few of the managers feel like taking a chance with any except ex perienced performers. McCredle Net Favorable. Darmody ,iayi that during a recent trip to San Francisco he talked the matter over with several of the other directors and that they seemed favor ably Inclined to the proposition. He believes that the plan in all probabil ity will be adopted. The "Increase directors" of tne Pa cific Coast League last Winter con sisted of Eddie Maler, Henry Berry and Johnny Powers. Judge W. W. Mc Credle. J. Cal Ewlng, of Oakland, and President Murphy, of Salt Luke, In the past have bucked the proposition, and It Is thought that there will be a merry war over the issue at the November meeting unless one or all of the latter three can be swung Into line by the "increase" boys. Joe Jenkins has been sold to the Chicago White fox for $2000 bj the Houston club of the Texas League. He will report to the White Sox next Spring. His batting average through to last week was .317. Jenkins Is a catcher and Wait McCredle intended to put In a draft for him. President Johnny Powers, of Los An geles, is in Chicago. He went there as soon as he learned that the Cubs had exercised their options on Pitchers Pete Standrldge and George Washing ton ZabeL Before leaving Powers said his trip had nothing to do with this, as It had been regarded as certain that Chicago would reclaim these men on their recent showing. He said that his trip concerned private business, and had no baseball significance. There Is little doubt, however that he will look over available talent In the East ern, field for next year, tf not for this season, and it may be that he will en deavor to Induce the Cubs to leave either Standrldge or Zabel on the Coast another year. Chance hates to lose either man, although he believes that each of them has earned another trial In the majors. It is said that Pete did not display a bit of enthusiasm at being recalled. He said that he would like to be permitted to play on the same team two seasons in a row Just for the novelty of It. if nothing else. Word from Los Angeles Is to the ef fect that Frank Le Roy Chance is sat isfied with his team as now constituted, as it has held first place 11 of the 1 weeks of the season already played. Why should he not be satisfied? Checkers Headquarters Portland Chess and Checker Club. 101 Washington building annex. Fourth and Washington streets. A welcome for all.

JACK GRANEY, former Portland out fielder and pitcher, now with the Cleveland Indians, left his shoes and slippers In the Pullman on a recent Jump. He arose In the morning to - find that the porter had put a mirror polish on the slippers and entirely ne glected the shoes. e e Harry B. Smith, sporting editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, is passing nis vacation in los Angeles. When Eddie CampI returns Ent this Fall from San Francisco he will make a specialty of boxing big fellows. Any boy that weighs not more than 130 pounds can have Eddie's game for the asking. "And why shouldn't I?" asks Eddie. Big fellows are much easier for me to box than little fellow. When you're boxing a big fellow there's something to hlL Your punches land solidly. "The little ones squirm around mo much that you can't do much more than brush them with your gloves. "Another thing is that the crowd Is always with the little fellow. Boxert will tell you that when they've warmed up to work they don't hear what is said around the ring. But still. I'd rather have the crowd with me than against me." Campi has something to say about the coming fight between George Chaney and Johnny Kilbane at Cedar Point. 0 Labor day. "Kilbane wouldn't fight me," he says, "unless I agreed to let him weigh 12S. Chaney wanted to box me at 126. Now there they're boxlmr each other at 122. They must have figured me a tough guy." m m m Otto Floto, of the Denver Post, thinks than Sam Langford can whip Jack Dillon. Langford is one of the marvels of pugilism. Fans used to think that Joe "Wolcott was great. But Joe. in his palmiest days, was not equal to Langford. Joe. to begin with, was not as big as Sam. nor as strong, nor as hard a hitter, nor did he have the fighting heart of Langford. Philadelphia has 600 charitable Institu tions and organizations.
