JUNIOR TENNIS TO
HAVE ITS I
Boys of Northwest Urged to
Take Part in Elimina- -tion
Contests.
PLANS FOR PLAY OUTLINED
Executive ' Committee of National
Body Names Walter A. Gosa as
Chairman War Department
Encourages Programme.
For the first time in the Pacific
Northwest youngsters will hold full
sway from a tennis standpoint.
Walter A. Ooss, chairman for the
new district, comprising; Oregon,
Washington and Northern Idaho, has
issued definite instructions for the sea
son's play for the boys and Juniors as
outlined by the executive committee of
the United States Lawn Tennis Asso
catlon. After careful consideration and con
sultation with the War Department,
the officials have recommended that all
of the tennis clubs give great care to
the carrying through to a successful
issue all of the junior events.
California has demonstrated what
can be done by giving the boys a
chance to learn the game, for it has
been the boys from' 14 to 16. years of
age playing in Golden Gate Park who
have laid the foundation for the Mc
laughlins, the Billy Johnsons and the
other great California players.
Efficiency la Developed.
They must give to the Nation full
efficiency as to physical condition. They
must cultivate quick thinking and
quick acting. They must learn to use
their brains and their bodies so that
the very most can be made available.
Most important of all, boys must think
good, clean thoughts, cultivate good,
clean living, and nothing will accom
plish this to a greater degree than
learning to put up a red-hot battle on
a tennis court and do it in a good,
clean, courteous, sportsmanlike man
ner. Provision has been made so that
every boy, whether a' member or not
of some tenis club, will be eligible to
compete in the playoff which will ter
minate in the National championship
to be held at the West Side Tennis Club
in New York City early in August.
The Pacific Northwest district has
been divided into five tennis centers
and the tournaments for these centers
will be held in Portland, Seattle, Ta
coma. Spokane and Lewlston.
Portland has selected Rose Festival
week as the time for the Oregon play
off. Seattle has "chosen June 7, 8 and
9. Dates for Tacoma, Spokane and
Lewlston will be about the time school
closes and will be announced later.
Committee Gives Rnlea.
The rules as specified by the execu
tive committee provide that any boy
not over 16 years old before October 1
can play in the boys' events and any
boy not over 19 years old before Octo
ber 1 can play in the Junior events.
The winners of these various tourna
ments will be sent to some central
point, where there will toe a playoff of
the champions of the five different ten
nis centers. This championship play
off will be held about July 4, the exact
time and place to be announced later.
Whether or not the champion of the
Pacific Northwest will be sent East
will depend somewhat on conditions as
they develop during the season, but
from present indications the boy who
wino the lunior championship will be
. . I ,v. Wat4nna1
Belli CiftBl .V tUiHirom ... ..... .....
Junior tournament to be held in rew
York Citv.
No boy csm enter in more than one
preliminary event. For instance, a
boy living half way between Seattle
and Tacoma must indicate to the ten
nis officials in which center he wishes
to compete and he must in each case
confine himself to that center where
he would naturally play.
All of Western Oregon will play in
Portland. It is expected that a large
number of boys will compete from the
high schools of the Willamette "Valley.
Entries for these tournaments will
be receive either by Walter A. Goss,
. 418 Corbett building, Portland, or by
the various clubs holding the events.
The Portland - play will be on the
courts of the Irvington Club, Seattle
on the grounds of the Seattle Tennis
Club, Tacoma on the Tacoma Tennis
Club courts, Spokane on the grounds of
. k. c.HAlr'a.A Tannin rMnH and T.ewlatnn
on the courts of the Lewlston Country
Club.
Portland Motor Boat Club
Notes.
TTiAST call for the patriotic party at
l the clubhouse on xuesoay evening.
You can be dead sure of a royal good
time, and the entertainment committee
has worked out some real novelties.
Darby's Society Orchestra has been en
gaged, and promise to work hard.
.
The runabout Zephyr. Captain Otto
Hoffman, had her initial trip of the
season last Sunday, and beat last year's
time considerably. Otto has put in some
hard work on the boat during the
Winter, and the craft shows the effects
of it.
Captain A. Goldstein showed some
real resourcefulness on a trip to Os
wego last Sunday. As is often the case
with the two-cycle type of motor, it
started off backward, but Goldstein put
the gear in reverse and got to his des
tlnatlon nicely.
Here's a story of a real engine: When
the Elelnore's motor was overhauled
this Spring, the packing was not tight
ened, and blew out. Notwithstanding
that both cylinders were losing about
half their charges, "Cap Henderson
brought the boat in first in the cruiser
handicap In the opening regatta, al
though losing the scratch race with the
Sea Wolf.
Captain Martin Shea, Jr., with the
runabout Comet, was one of the mem
bers who defied the rain and mist last
Sunday with a run to Rock Island to
look over the new camping grounds.
They came back under umbrellas, but
report lots of fun, at that.
The cruiser Sea Wolf, Captain Bryan
R. Dotrr, is the latest of the club's
fleet to blossom out in a new coat of
paint. Sea Wolf is a busy ship during
the Summer season, and her skipper
gets mucn pleasure out of her.
Commodore Boost is paying a visit
to his ranch hear Yelm. and is reported
to be busy getting his seed in. Come
what may, the Commodore has his eye
on tne nign cost oi living business.

Patriotic Tournament Scheduled for
Memorial Day When Best Per
formance on . Limited Number
of Strokes Will Win Flag.
Memorial day will be given over to a
patriotic golf tournament at the Port
land Golf Club. It will stage a Flag
day competition, Immediately following
which a crack four-ball match. Hein-
rlch Schmidt, Western amateur cham
pion, and C. H. Davis, Jr., president of
the Pacific Northwest Golf Association,
opposing Russel Smith. Northwest ama
teur champion, and Rudolph Wilhelm,
Northwest open champion, will go nine
holes for the delectation of the large
gallery that is certain to follow the
match.
This four-ball affair promises to at
tract Nation-wide attention, for it sets
new departure in golf. Instead of
playing the game according to the
golfing Hoyle, whoever he may be, the
participants will attempt to shatter all
the rules and precedents of the ancient
Scottish sport.
Hugh Gearln, a member of the board
of directors of the club, has offered a
substantial merchandise prize to the
member of the gallery listing the
greatest number of rules violated by
the players. The scheme should pro
vide a good training course on golf
rules, and might well be tried out on
every golfing course In the country.
This match will start at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, immediately fol
lowing the Flag-day competition. In
the flag affair each participant is
given one-half his medal handicap in
strokes, added to par of 35. Thus the
player with a 12 handicap starts out
to go as far as he can with 35 plus
six strokes, or 41 strokes. At the
spot his ball stops on his 41st stroke
he plants a small American flag given
him at the first tee. The player
furthest advanced around the course in
the specified number of strokes wins
the first prize, a large American flag.
This competition will be over before
the four-ball match begins.
At the Waverley Country Club Chair
man Glass has scheduled a sweepstakes
handicap for the men, medal play, 18
holes. Contestants have the caption of
entering as many times as entrance
fee of one ball Is paid.

AND LOSER IN FINAL SINGLES
FOUR-ROUND FIGHT GAME IN SAN
FRANCISCO CLOSELY SUPERVISED
Plans of Gibbons Brothers Somewhat Upset by Police Authorities Tame
Contest Staged Ad Santell Dead Issue, Says Harry Smith.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FR
cial.) I
closely
AN FRANCISCO, May 26. Itape-
If you want proof of how
closely supervised is tne lour-
round fight game, ask Mike Gibbons,
who claims for himself the middle
weight title. Mike came to California
with the expectation of being able to
stage a four-round contest in San
Francisco with one of the stars locally
and thereby gain for himself large
sums of money.
But there was one big objection
raised by Chief of Police White. The
best that Mike could do under the cir
cumstances was to put on an exhibi
tion w4th Brother Tom. The affair was
held last Tuesday night and there had
to be -arranged as well to draw the
crowd, an assortment of six four-round
contests. ...
Even an attempt to sandwich In a
Gibbons fight as a Red Cross benefit
didn't get the desired permission from
the authorities.
"It makes no difference. saia me
police authorities, "whether Gibbons
is to box for the Red Cross or purely
for his own benefit. He cannot appear
in a bona fide match. The laws of the
state of California do not permit that
sort of thing and even though we'd
like to see Gibbons In action, we're
not going to stand for that sort of
thing."
That settled It for keeps.
The Gibbons boys gracefully acceded
to the requirements and Instead of a
battle royal, they put on a friendly con
test in which the audience had a
chance to see how the St. Paul phantom
shapes up.
Of course, you know all about the
Gibbons boys from having seen them in
Portland, but Mike did a friendly and
kindly act one day this week. Read
ing the news of the serious Illness of
Les Darcy In Memphis, he consulted no
one, but sat down and wired his feel
ings. "We may fight some day," com
mented Mike. "In fact. I hope we do.
But I am sorry for Darcy. He's a
stranger in a strange land an while
he possibly made some mistakes, - that
ought to be forgotten. I Just wanted
to tell him how I felt in the matter and
to express my sentiments.
"Of course, this puts all talk of a
match between us out of the running.
Some day when he is fit again, I'll be
glad to talk terms for a middleweight
championship match, but at the present
time I wouldn't bother him or anyone
in a like situation."
Willie Ritchie acted as host to the
Minnesota boxers while they were in
San Francisco. He saw to it they were
provided with guest cards at the Olym
pic Club, invited them out to numer
ous luncheons and played handball
with them.
Ritchie, of course, had met Mike
Gibbons while in the East and wanted
to make his fellow fighter feel at home
here in San Francisco.
Willie, by the way, has left on ' a
long automobile trip. He departed on
Sunday last for St. Louis with the mo
torists of the San Francisco Ad Club
who are making the long trek. Ritchie
is riding in one of something like 15
automobiles that' is making, the
Journey.
- The motorists, of course, are going
to be many days on the road. Ritchie
plans to pass a couple of weeks In St.
Louis, after which he will return to
this city. . -
e ' "
Ad Santell. so long a hero to the San
Francisco sporting public, is a dead is
sue. As you doubtless read, his affair
with Marin Plestlna a week ago Tues
day night was an absolute fiasco. San
tell found within 16 minutes of the
starting bell that his opponent Was al
together too strong for him.
What did our Ad doT He simply laid
down and quit, showing a streak of
yellow as wide as Market street. -
Not one move would Santell make.
Plestlna in the last half-hour roughed
Adolph repeatedly. Once Santell was
thrown bodily out of the ring and all
the crowd did was to yell for Plestlna
to do it again.
The Slavonian would pick Santell up
by the crotch, turn him over like a
sack of wheat and bounce his head on
the hard canvas.
"Bounce him again." was the battle
cry of the crowd, which shows Just
how Ad fell from grace.
It proved what might have been
suspected from the Santell - Cutler
match and was unquestionably to be
seen when Santell wrestled Stecher
that Santell is a -Quitter, pure and sim
ple. He is done for In San Francisco and
will have to work up some new town
in which to ply his wares. Of all the
thousands of supporters, Santell hasn't
a well-wisher in this city today. They
are disgusted with htm and his per
formance and don't want to see him
again.
Plestlna proved himself a strong,
willing worker, but not particularly
scientific or experienced. There was
some talk of staging a match between

by the wayside when the men behind
the Zbyssko-Strangler Ed Lewis con
test staged for June 5 at the Civic Au
ditorium, let out a prolonged howL
They didn't want any more fool
shows to hurt the big performance.
And Charlie Newman, who is doing all
the promoting these days, saw the
wisdom of such a scheme and sat down
on any suggestions to stage Plestlna.
The ultimatum was Issued that there
will be no more wrestling until
after Waldek Zbyszko meets Strangler
Lewis. After that, perhaps, Plestlna
will be given a crack at the winner,
with the understanding that some time
in the future Earl Caddock is to be
brought to San Francisco for a cham
pionship session.
And for that much respite we must
be thankful. The wrestling game Is
nothing to brag about as viewed re
cently in San Francisco and the less we
see of some of the hippodromes that
have been staged the better we will
be off.
Hark to the voice from the tomb!
Sailor Ed Petroskey, a middleweight
In those good old days when 20-round
fights were the vogue in California,
wants to stage a come-back. Petros
key is in San Diego, where he stages,
occasionally, a four-round fight.
He has written a friend in San Fran
cisco, asking if possible, that a four
round battle be arranged In Oakland
with Battling Ortega.
"Of course." said this friend, "I don't
reckon that Petroskey could win from
Ortega. At the same time, if he would
crowd the Battler, he could make
things decidedly Interesting. And op
ponents for Ortega are so scarce they
might be glad to Jump at the chance."

Brilliant Galaxy of Stars Are
to Play in Northwest
Championships.
TOURNEY TO BE IN JUNE
Four Title-Holders and Five e
Champions to Participate Wa
verlejr Club Links to Be
Put In Good Shape.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
With the definite assurance yester
day that Helnrlch Schmidt. Western
amateur golf champion, has arranged
Itinerary so as to lengthen his stay in
Portland for another month, the most
brilliant galaxy of golfing talent ever
assembled on one course in ihe North
west is assured for the Pacific North
west golf championships.
The tournament will be held in Port
land, June 26-30. on the Waverley
-Country Club links.
Among the stars of Pacific Coast
golf almost certain to be here are:
Helnrlch Schmidt, Oakland, Western
champion: Russel Smith, Paclflo North
west champion: Rudolph llhelm. Pa
cific Northwest open champion; Forest
Watson. Potlatch champion: Jack Ne
ville. - San Francisco, former Coast
champion; Douglaa Grant. San Fran
cisco. California champion; Erve Arm
strong. Los Angeles, former California
champion: Harold Lamb, Salt Lake;
alter Salisbury. Salt Lake, besides
numerous other stars of the links.
Announcement by the Waverley
Country Club that the funds from the
tourney would be given to the Red
Cross struck a popular chord. Inexpen
sive medals will be given to the win
ners Instead of costly plate and tro
phies. C H. Davis, Jr., president of
the Pacific North-west Golf Association,
estimated yesterday that in the neigh
borhood of 200 players would be in
Portland forthe event.
President Davis and Chairman Glass,
of the handicap committee, are at work
planning the details of the tourney. Ad
ditlonal racks will be installed In the
caddy house for the visitors' clubs and
the caddies will be boused in a tent on
the polo field.
A. C. U. Berry, a member of the
Waverley board, has been named chair
man of the transportation committee
and is already busy conscripting auto
mobiles for moving his army of golfers
to and from the city.
Prospective high water In the Wil
lamette is giving the Waverley greens
committee considerable concern. Nets
are being constructed along the river
bank to keep the carp and the drift
wood off the 17th and 18th fairways,
but both the holes may be so sub
merged as to make play over them im
practicable. If the worst comes to the worst, the
present 14th, a short mashle pitch, may
be done away with and the green used
for a new hole corresponding to the
present 17th. A mashle pitch to the
present 17th from a tee located above
high water on' the river bank would
take the place of the abandoned 14th,
as the new 17th.
This would solve the problem of the
17th hole, but not the ISth. Helnrlch
Schmidt has suggested a 240 or 250
yard hole with a water carry of 140
or 150 yards off the tee. to the present
18th green. Flood waters may not ma
terialize but the committee intends to
be ready to cope with anv rm.rr.nv
It will be a pity if the 17th has to be
abandoned during the tourney for the
ciuo nas spent a great deal of money

phy, Amateur Champion.
Although Tommy Murphy, of Kansas
City, National amateur 135-pound box
ing champion, cannot lose his title at
the Far Western meet to be held at
the Seattle Athletic Club Wednesday
and Thursday, he can be defeated, and
there are five or six earnest young men
training hard in hope of trouncing tha
king of amateur lightweights.
Los Angeles will contribute one man
who Is ambitious to get a decision over
the National champion In Charley
Barker. According to DeWltt Van
Court, boxing Instructor at the Los
Angeles Athletic Club, Barker is box
ing In better form than ever before,
and will go to Seattle with the Inten
tion of carrying off lightweight hon
ors. Van Court also Is sending from Loa
Angeles a lad whom he thinks will
take the measure of Earl Baird, tha
former Portland boy and the other Na
tional champion entered In the meet.
Van Court has a 125-pound boxer
named Anthony Slsto whom he is pick
ing to defeat'Baird.
Ralph Underwood, of Portland; Bob
Harper, Roy Amundsen, Willie Coulst
lng, of the Olympic Club, and several
others are entered In the 115-pound
class, and some of the fastest bouts In
the tournament are expected in thla
division.
According to the present outlook, tha
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, will
be represented by three boxers. Bill
Jacques and Tom Louttit, 175-pounders.
and Ralph Underwood, 115-pounder. are
the ones available to make the Journey.
Louttit has his application in for the
officers' reserve corps, but unless ha
