The cocktail cup competition is new to Oregon golf. This competition will be held on the first Sunday in each month whenever possible, match play against bogey with handicaps. The player defeating bogey by the widest margin each month 'will be given a silver cocktail cup. This form of com petition has proved very popular at the Los Angeles Country Club, and, al though cocktail cups and other ac- couterments of olden-day Oregon wet-1 teries are supposed to be passed, the committee believes the innovation will 6tlr up a great deal of Interest at the Halelgh links. Trophies have been offered by Frank JTeitkemper, Jaeger Bros., President Frank Raley, Vice-President John G. Clemson, W. C. Bristol. C. C. Gross and H. L. Keats. W. C. Bristol has donated b. beautiful trophy for the men's ama teur championship of the club to be kept at the clubhouse until it has been won five times by one player. It will then become his personal property. Rudolph Wilhelm. J. R. Straight and George B. McGill, first three champions, will each be given one win so as to make the record complete from the organization of the club. Competition Lasts 4 Month. The Keats competition against bogey will run four months and the four winners will then meet in match play for permanent ownership of the trophy. No winner will be permitted to compete again for the trophy until the finals, so that four different play ers will have their names engraved on the cup.

Professor Richard Genserowskl's classes at the Portland Social Turn Verein will present their annual pro gramme of gymnastic exhibitions at the Heiliir Theater the night of February 24. The Portland professor is famous all over the United States for the won derful classes he turns out, and the local Turn Verein ranks among the loremost or tne country. The 13th number on the "blll-of-fam" will be a tennis drill showing the appli cation or tennis play to calisthenics. Twenty-four members of the third women's class take part in this per formance, which is a beautiful one 'to witness. There will be 15 numbers on the big programme, and the event promises to be one of the most success ful ever run off by the professor, and this is saying a whole lot.

At the Nineteenth Hole Willie Leith, the long-driving pro fessional at the Butte Country Club, has resigned his position. In a letter to a friend. J. M. Forde, of Portland, intimates that Frank Noble, formerly at Lake Placer and Siwanoy golf clubs, has been offered the place. One ticklish point that no one in particular seems to bother about is the fact that "Walter J. Travis, supposedly under the ban or about to be placed there as a golf architect, is playing in the amateur golf tournaments at Palm Beach, Florida. The Palm Beach Golf Club Is not a member of the United States Golf Association, and therefore is not affected by any rulings of that body. Whether this solves the diffi culty or not, it is sure that the ruling organization will not look with favor on any competition which is called an "amateur tournament" in which those who have been declared professionals are allowed to play. The work of enriching the greens at the Portland Golf Club is nearly done, and the players will be back on the grass greens again in the immediate future. For the past month they have been using temporary greens. Miss Alexa. W. Stirling, of Atlanta, women's National golf champion, has forsaken the mashle for the pen, at least temporarily, and has written a comprehensive article on golf links for women in the January number of Golf Illustrated, edited by Max Behr, for mer New Jersey state champion. In this article Miss Stirling takes issue with those who think that the way to prepare any full-sized links for a woman's tournament is to move the disks up to the short tee and call it a day's work. She indorses the action of the Women's Western Golf Asso ciation ifl adopting a new set of par figures for their own standard of play. Getting down to the details of course construction. Miss Stirling points out that every good golf course in the country Is laid out to demand that each shot be a good one by a man! In no case does the course architect stop and say to himself, as he sets the distance or plans a bunker. "This will make a beautiful midiron shot for a woman." The only place on the links where men and women meet on an equal footing is the putting green. Aberdeen Man Crack Polo Player. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Feb. 10. espe cial.) Cliff M. Weatherwax. manager of the Aberdeen Lumber & Khingle mill of this city, is gaining fame an a polo player in Southern California, ac cording to information received here. He is spoken of as the star in an ex citing game played at Coronado Beach, February 1.

The meet will consist of fancy diving, distant and short swims. This will be the first meet of its kind. SCHORR HAS HANGUP RECORD Semi-Pro Recruit for Beavers Is Famed as Pitcher and Batter. Here's a little first-hand information on Charles V. Schorr, San Francisco semi-professional southpaw, who loins the Beavers at Stockton upon the team's arrival back from Honolulu. He has played ball in most of the Western states and sells mining machinery as a business. Hunky" Is the handle tacked on Schorr by teammates and he bats left- handed as well as pitching that way. Schorr was born in San Francisco De cember 11, 1895, is & feet 10 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. Last sea son he played in the Nevada State Rail road League, winning 14 games and losing but one.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene. Feb. 10. (Special.) Now that the girls' swimming meet between Ore gon and the Oregon Agricultural Col lege has been decided upon for early in March, plans for instruction have Despite His Defeat. Spokane Challenger Make Game Finish nnd Nearly Noses Out Victory. SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 10. Special.) In the third and final block of their match here last night Charley Jordan, of Seattle, Northwest three-cushion bil liard champion, defeated Henry Solo mon, challenger, of Spokane, 150 to 145. Despite his defeat, Solomon made one of the gamest finishes in the history of the title. When 21 points behind, the Spokane crack started in to shoot bril liant billiards and nearly nosed the champion out at the finish. The visitor lost many shots by kisses. Both men made some brilliant shots, Jordan starring on bank shots and on long angles. Solomon won big applause when he annexed the high run for the match of seven. Jordan s best was two fours. The match was played in 85 innings. Sibley, a former holder of the title, challenged the winner. VARSITY WRESTLERS PREPARE TO MEET OREGON' AGGIES. In Tryonts at Eugene Boys In Various Classes Make Good Showing; and Coach Is Encouraged UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Feb. 10. Special.) Oregon's wrestling squad was paired off by Coach Shock ley last night for the final tryouts in preparation for the meet with Oregon Agricultural College next Friday night in the Corvallis gymnasium. Never was more interest in the wrestling game at the University displayed. The bleach ers surrounding the mat room were crowded by faculty and students, and some clever wrestling was seen. Two of the matches went for draws and will be settled Monday night. Otherwise the varsity team was chosen, and the boys will be sent through their final preparation the first of next week. Oregon has but one letter man, El- wynn Rutherford, captain, but the boys who have made the team are repre sentative of the best and have put hopes into the coach that they win come through winners. The winners of the following matches will represent the varsity: 115 pounds Bruce Flegal, Eugene, two decisions over Homer Phillips. 125 pounds Claude Hill, Klamath Falls, two falls from Harold Jenkins. 135 pounds Dwlght Wilson, Eugene, one decision and one fall from Charles Dundore. 148 pounds Harold Gray, Medford. two falls from J. D. Boyd. 148 pounds Elwynn Rutherford, Eu gene, captain, one decision over Harold Gray. Rutherford and Gray will battle for the 148 championship Monday night. 165 pounds Peter Jansen. Junction City, and George Taylor, West Fall, Or., three draws. These boys will settle their differences Monday night. Klamath Waters Closed Feb. 15. KLAMATH FALLS, Or- Feb. 10. (Special.) The waters of Klamath River and Spencer Creek within cer tain boundaries are to be closed to fish ermen next week' for a period of four months, from February 15 to June 15, according to a communication received recently from the State Fish and Game Commission. The Commission states that these streams will be closed dur ing that season to protect the trout and other fish. C. H. Davis, Jr., president of the Pa cific Northwest Golf Association, re turned last week from a business trip to Tacoma. Seattle. Vancouver and Victoria with the tidings that th keen interest everywhere on tap pres ages the greatest tournament in the history of Northwest golf at the Waverley Country Club links June 25-30. Through the efforts of Mr. Davis the 1917 tournament of the Pacific Northwest Association was awarded to Portland at the 'Spokane meet last Summer. While Mr. Davis trip last week primarily was of a business nature he found time to mingle amongst the disciples of the Royal and Ancient Scotch pastime for a little missionary work. Big Crowd Expected. We are going to have a whopper of a crowd of golfers In Portland on that week." said President Davis yester day. "I think there is no doubt that the entry list will be the largest in the history of the Pacific Northwest championships. Spokane set a new record last year and we are out to eclipse Spokane's high mark. "Spokane, Seattle. Tacoma. Van couver, Victoria. Everett these and a dozen other cities of this district will send their best men and I understand Russell Smith Is drumming up a few entries In California." As though the presidency of the Pa cific Northwest Golf Association were not enough responsibility. President Davis also is chairman of the greens committee at the Waverley Country and a member of the greens committee at the Portland Golf Club. Coarse to Be In Shape. This in itself is a guarantee that the Waverley course will be in tip-top shape for the tournament. Already the landscape artists have completed an almost entirely new set or tees at Waverlev and the work on the re- bunkering of the course is oeing r-iifiherl. Th htinkerlnir on the tenth hole is being thoroughly overhauled. One of the bunkers on the left in rroni or. tne erreen is to be . filled and the right hand bunker transformed into a pit. A new pit also is to be anchored close to the green and guarding the left hand corner. The present pit hole high along the right side of the green is also to be enlarged. " Some of the bunkers installed last year on the lower nine were found a little to obstinate and some 'renova tions are to be made. It was found almost impossible to dig the ball out of some lies against the face of on or two of the bunker walls and these are now being concaved so as to simplify recoveries. Tonrnfy Finns Made. When the work under comtempla tlon by Chairman Davis and his chief lieutenant. A. C. u. Berry, is completed the visitors will hardly know the old "humstead." Graham Glass, chairman of the handican and tournament committee Waverley, is at work drawing up plnns for his 1917 club tournaments. The state championships likely will be held about the middle of heptemoer. then he places 11-15 on the butcher block so that he may play 24-19. 15-24. 28-19. an- oiner trs.de. and concludes that Mack has no game.

Personal Touches in Sport. hi pi 11 t I I yj "' 1 : r? - yr-S prsj -S te BOB SIMPSON Is one of those fellows who happen but rarely except In fiction. A trifle more than a year ago he was an "unknown" in the world of amateur athletics. Today he ranks as a marvel, a record holder who has not yet reached the zenith of his wonderful skill on traciv and field. Simpson came from out of the West a year ago last Spring to represent the University of Missouri In the big in tercollegiate meet in Philadelphia. Tall, rawboned. he didn't attract much at tention when he ambled to the starting line for the 120-yard high hurdles. He wasn't conceded a "look-in" against all the crack entries. The starting gun was fired and almost before its echo died away the world of amateur sports came to realize that a new star was shining In the athletic sky. Like a greyhound, Simpson shot away from the mark, took every hurdle beautifully and broke the tape 15 3-5 seconds after the race began. I' rom that hour on. Simpson has been performing heroic feats on the track. He later made the 120 in world's record time of 14 3-5. and those who have watched him closely predict he will reduce the time to 11 1-5 before another year rolls around. "Simpson Is one of the most amaz ing athletes I have ever seen." declares C. I Brewer, director of athletics at the Missouri Institution. "So far he has specialized In high hurdles. He has only toyed In the other branches of track and field work, yet In each he has come close to smashing records. He does the century in 10 flat and the quarter In 50. He has cleared 23 feet 6 inches in ihebroad jump without" exerting himself; 5 feet 10 inches In the high jump: throws the discus 130 feet, and lias hurled the 16-pound shot 40 feet."

The war in Europe has helped racing in America. The closing of many of the big European tracks has caused the owners to dispose of their stables. More than 600 of the fastest thorough breds that were campaigned on the oth er side of the much-disputed Atlantic now are in the United States. Somo were, raced last Summer. The others will be sent over the courses in 1917, or, in the cases of the older horses, will be used for breeding purposes. Superior, Wis., for the first time in 60 years is without saloons.
