in Charge This Year.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
No fewer than seven former North
west champions are expected to be In
Portland next week to compete for the
1917 golf championship of the Pacific
Northwest Association. This, together
with the fact that nearly 200 other
prominent golfers from all over the
Coast will be entered, portends the
greatest tourney ever held .on the Pa
cific Slope.
The tournament will open Monday,
June 25, at 8 A. M., when the men will
begin teeing off In the championship
qualifying rounds, and will continue
until Saturday night.
Among the former champions expect
ed to walk up and deposit their $3 for
the Red Cross fund are: T. S. .ippy,
Seattle, 1907 champion; George Ladd
Munn, Seattle, 1908 champion: Douglas
Grant, San Francisco, 1909 champion
and present Northern California cham
pion; R. I Macleay, Waverley, 1910
champion; Jack Neville, San Francisco,
who beat Chandler Egan in the finals
at Seattle in 1914: Chandler Egan. Wav
erley, former National title holder, who
turned the tables and won the North
west title In 1915, and Russel Smith,
Waverley, last year's winner.
Rudolph Wllhelm, Paul Ford. Forest
Watson, Dixie Fleager, Seattle cham
pion; Arthur Vincent, Michigan state
champion, and numerous other stars
and satellites of the golf links, also
will be entered.
No expensive silver cups and trophies
"will be given to the winners this year.
Instead, the winners will receive inex
pensive medals and the proceeds of the
tournament will be prorated among the
clubs participating for forwarding to
the Red Cross fund.
It is expected that J1200 will be
raised for the Red Cross.
There will be a variety of competi
tions on tap every day at the Waverley
Country Club, where the tourney will
be held. Flights will be provided for
nearly everybody who plays in the qual
ifying rounds, so, even the adipose
handicapped players will get thrills on
a par with those gallivanting up and
down the backbones in the champion
ship flight.
Chairman Glass Is chairman of the
tournament committee, and his aides
are W. W. Cotton, C. H. Davis, Jr., W. E.
Pearson and E. F. Whitney. The offi
cers of the Pacific Northwest Golf As
sociation are: C. H. Davis, Jr., Waver
ley, president; F. W. McCrimmon,
Butte, vice-president; Clyde M. Graves,
Spokane, secretary.
,
Next year it will be the turn of Van
couver, B. C, to handle the tournament,
but if Vancouver decides to forego
the task Seattle comes next In rota
tion. e m
It Is only fitting that there should be
a touch of the military about this com
ing Red Cross tournament. An army
of Boy Scouts has been conscripted by
C H. Davis, Jr., to help with the caddy
lng. The scouts will be taken on a tour
of the links tomorrow morning for
their first lessons in the art of toting
lead-lined, concrete-reinforced caddy
bags In and out of shell pits over an
lS-hole marathon.
Graham Glass has arranged for the
ale of coupon books redeemable for
purchases at the Waverley Country
Club, the University Club, Arlington
Club and the Portland Golf Club.
Competition for the C. H. Davis, Jr.,
Inter-club trophy will be held on
Wednesday afternoon. Each club en
tering nominates four players prior to
the qualifying rounds and the two
teams having the lowest aggregate
scores compete in the finals in two
four-ball matches, low ball to count.
Winning team shall be that club whose
team finishes holes up. Waverley won
the beautiful cup last year at Spokane.
Three Jitney dances will be given at
the Waverley Club during the tourna
ment, Tuesday night, June 26, Thursday
night and Saturday nisht.

Miss Agnes Ford, women's North
west champion, will be here from Seat
tle in midweek for a little preliminary
skirmishing on the course. Mrs. James
Dougherty, Oregon's woman star, is
visiting in Los Angeles and it is barely
possible Mrs. Dougherty may not get
back In time for the tournament.
Diamond Gossip.
They haven't had much rain in Wash
ington this season and they haven't
had much baseball, either.
A double-header In Washington is a
warning, not an attraction.
Ballplayers, It Is said, are not nec
essarily good bomb-throwers for the
trenches, because a bomb-thrower uses
a Bttff-arm delivery. Something like
Kd AValsh In his later years.
Griffith's claim on the pennant pole
Is the same as Doc Cook's on the North
Pole.
e
Conscription can do a lot of the
teams some good, if any of the regulars
come within the drafting age.
mm
Conscripting Ken Williams, from
Portland, would help all the rest of
the Coast League teams, while the con
scription of Jack Ryan from the An
gels would help the Beavers.
e
If Walter Johnson gets caught In the
conscripting, Washington's ball club
will have gone to war.
Anyone who has witnessed a pop
bottle flinging contest in St. Louis will
agree that the military spirit is not
an entirely new thing in baseball.
And some of the American League
tall-enders seem to think It is pinochle
and not baseball they are playing.
Now that Bill Rodgers has learned
to play golf, we wouldn't be surprised
to hear him holler "fore'" when he gets
a hit.
Some people think conscription would
break up baseball. It would be a shame
to see such youths as Mathewson,
Wagner, Eddie Plank. Ed Walsh and
Jack Coomi: forced to give up their
pleasure.

JACK WAGNER, the battling Portland
lightweight, returned from Seattle
last night, where he gave Harry Casey,
Northwest welterweight champion, a
severe beating In four rounds of fast
milling at the Canadian Club smoker
Friday night. Wagner boxed in the
best form that he has ever shown and
outclassed the Seattle mauler In every
round. Casey started out with a rush
to stop W agner, but did not get very
far, as Jack had a vicious right-hand
uppercut ready for Casey s Jaw every
time he started a punch. Wagner may
box in Seattle again, on June 22. at
the Elks' Club smoker.
Eddie Camp I gave Pinkman a real
boxing lesson in the main event of the
Seattle smoker. Plnkman's much-
heralded punch could not find Campi
and be was at sea during the entire
four rounds- of milling. Campi is now
claiming the lightweight championship
of the Pacific Coast and Canada as
the result of his newspaper decision
over Pinkman.
Jack Lewis, the local featherweight,
who recently returned from San Fran
cisco, has Joined the United States
Navy. A number of Portland boxers
have responded to their country's call

Shel McCool, the clever Portland
122-pounder, who met Weldon Wing at
the Red Cross smoker last night, will
leave for Spokane tomorrow to visit
his folks. While In the Inland Em
pire city Shel may take on some of
the local featherweight, talent. He
will return to Portland in about three
weeks.
Freddie Welsh received but $6000 for
the ring engagement In which he lost
the world's lightweight championship
to Benny Leonard. That is the small
est sum received In many years by
a -lightweight champion when he lost
his title. Willie Ritchie, from whom
Welsh won the championship, received
about $25,000 for taking his beating,
and Ad Wolgast received $16,000 when
he struck Willie Ritchie low and thus
gave him the championship.
Joe Benjamin, the Portland feather
weight, who has been In California for
the last three months, broke his hand
in his bout with Frankie Tucker In
Stockton. Cal., recently. He will stay
out of the game for a few weeks In
order to give his hand a chance to
heal and then will come back to Port
land, ready to meet any one in the
Northwest at his weight. Joe can

WRESTLING GAME IS ALMOST ON
LAST LEGS IN SAN FRANCISCO
Promoter of Zbyszko-Lewis Affair Brings Scorn on Him From Fans for
Alleged Unsportsmanlike Tactics Boxing Still Tame.
SAX FRANCISCO. California. June
16. (Special.) If there is any
thing left to the wrestling game.
and some people seem to think there is,
it's entitled to be rated the wonder of
the age. It looked like it was down
and out when Ad Santell pulled his
funny stuff hereabouts, but of "all sad
words of tongue and pen" the saddest
came the other night on the .occasion
of the Wladek Zbyszko-Strangler Ed
Lewis bout.
And strange to relate, not the wres
tlers this time but the promoter was
at fault. As the grewsome details un
folded. It transpired that Promoter
Charlie Newman had agreed to give
each of hls wrestlers $3000 together
with railroad transportation and side
bonuses that would make it up to $7500.
It had been blazoned to the four
points of the compass that Newman
was giving $10,000 for the bout. Also
It was told that Charlie was the whole
show.
But on the night of the match there
was a frost. An early count showed
something liko $2000 in the box office
and Newman, by this time ready to run,
declared that he wouldn't go through;
that the wrestlers could take what
there was in the house if they so de
sired. He also told a story of having
Harry Foley and Jack Kearns In as
equal partners and insisted that they
should stand their share of the losses.
For two hours nobody knew whether
there was going to be a match or not.
The angry mob threatened to start a
riot and they demanded their money
back. Finally there came a compro
mise. Lewis agreed to wrestle for
$2000, while Jack Curley said he would
take $1400 for Zbyszko.
On that basis they wrestled. The
match started at 11 o'clock and lasted
until 1:45 in the early morning hours.
It was a good match, once It was under
way, but the crowd was "sore" at what
had happened and couldn't get over it.
Zbyszko scored a fall ' on a fluke and
that was what won him the match.
Newman, Incidentally, Is finished.
He says the wrestlers and their mana
gers tried to make him the goat and
that Is why he refused to be stung for
$7500. As matters stand, he is a loser
by something like $3500 and all he has
for his trouble is a lot of experience
and some doubtful publicity.
However, that doesn't seem to be the
end of wrestling
Frank Schuler, who was the original
promoter in these parts and who had
to step aside when Newman got to of
fering thousands, thinks the time is
ripe to step back into the ranks.
"Newman almost succeeded in killing
the wrestling game," said Schuler, "but
I think there is a chance for it to re
cuperate. I am satisfied of that by the
way the crowd stayed until almost 2
o'clock In the morning to see Zbyszko
and Lewis. What I wai.t to do is to
bank on my reputation and do the best
I can to help the sport.
"Mellady. manager of Earl Caddock,
is my friend. He has stuck to me
through thick and thin and when he
says he will send Caddock as I re
quest, he means what he says. I would
like to use Caddock with Joe Stecher
in a return match, but that Is out of
the question as Omaha could overbid
us. But I do think we can persuade
Lewis to return to San Francisco and
stage an affair with Caddock.
"Jf I can do that we will have gone
some distance in rehabilitating one of
the few professional sports left to us."

Gut M. Standifer. One of Waverley's
its annual swim across the Golden Gate
for girl athletes.
There were 25 starters in the mile
and a quarter race across the bay and
each of the girls had a pilot in a row
boat to guide her across the water.
Cavill was picked to pilot Mrs. Ernie
Smith, who was Miss Margaret Brack.
The contest developed into a fight be
tween Mrs. Smith and Miss Frances
Cowells, with both on . fairly even
terms.
Toward the close Mrs. Smith forged
ahead and looked all over a winner.
Here was where Cavill came Into the
picture. He mistook the finishing line
and though Mrs. Smith had a lead of
100 yards she stopped short 100 feet
from the mark and CaviU allowed her
to climb into the boat.
Naturally she was disqualified, while
Miss Cowells came along to win the
trophy.
. It was disappointing to the large
throng to see a race of such propor
tions won by a fluke and there were
cheers when it was announced Mrs.
Smith would receive a medal in every
way a duplicate of the one given to the
victor.
This San Francisco swimming fea
ture was Inaugurated a number of
years ago when some of the men ne
gotiated the angry tides of the Golden
Gate. Then a lone woman here and
there proved she could do the same
thing.
This last week, as has been told, 20
women out of 26 who Btarted made Uie
long pull. Mrs. Smith's time for the
distance was 38:17 2-6, whiie it took an
hour and three-quarters for the last
of the 20 to pass under the finishing
line.
Fighting Billy Murray, once con
sidered as having a chance for the
middleweight title, and then slumped,
chiefly due to an Australian trip, tried
a come-back recently in a Xour-round
match in Oakland. Murray met Bat
tling Ortega, who has been knocking
'em all dead of late. Ortega won about
as he pleased and had he known enough
could have scored a knockout.
It was the old. old story of youth
against age. Murray's experience stood
him in hand for the first round and he
outpointed Ortega In nice shape. But
from the start of the second Murray's
strength gave way and he was all over
a beaten boy.
Body punches took the sap out of
Fighting Billy and he did mighty well
to stay the limit.
Four-round promoters keep plugging
away in San Francisco, but without
accomplishing much in the way of re
sults. The Parkside people who show
at Dreamland Rink have been losing
money and last Friday night a week
ago was no exception. Instead of high
priced scrappers they resorted to a
cheap card, but even so they lost
money.
Now comes Frank Carter with a
new scheme. He wants to hold .shows
weekly at the Valencia Theater, with
25 cents for the gallery. In fact, he
did put on one show on Tuesday night.
But San Francisco fans do not warm
up to fights held In a theater. They
have been raised in regular arenas,
where they can hug the ring, and that's
Just what they want.

BT PORTCS BAXTER.
SEATTLE. Wash, June 16. (Special.)
Baseball has a disagreeable way of
kicking over the dope. but in the
Seattle-Tacoma series it has run true
to form. The teams have fought all
the games and with good pitching and
fine fielding the series takes prece
dence over all others erf the season to
date. The attendance in Tacoma has
been good, and when the teams re
turned to Seattle for the last half of
the series the count showed the best
week-day crowd of the year. Of course,
in comparison to old times, it was not
anything to brag about, but when 700
or 800 turn out nowadays in the middle
of the week the league has something
to blow about
The feature of the week was the
pitching duel between two Portland
boys, Pat Eastley and Harry Gardner.
Gardner started the season with Great
Falls, but was recently traded to Ta
coma for Henry Peterson.
"Gardner is usually a good pitcher.
said Manager Leard, of the Seattle
club, after the game, "but he was un
usually good against Eastley. In fact,
Gardner pitched about the best game
of his career. He had everything and
his 'hop ball' was a great one. Nine
times out of ten Eastley would have
won on the twirling he delivered."
. Seattle got only three hits off Gard
ner, and were not entitled to score. The
one run Leard's team copped out was
due to a muffed fly by IL-.rper. Tacoma
hit Eastley fairly freely, but were en
titled to only one run, whereas they
puT three across. Two of them were
due to scratch hits. The third was
earned on two clean hits.
The Seattle ballplayers have contrib
uted to the fund for supplying soldiers
with bats and balls. This scheme was
started by Clark Griffith, of the Wash
ington club.
President Blewett has returned from
a trip to Great Falls and Butte. He
says things are good there.
The coming week should bring one
of the hardest-fought series of the
Northwestern League season. Reference
is had to the games between Seattle
and Great Falls in the former city.
These clubs have met only once before
this year and in that Instance Great
Falls won a majority of games. Seattle
is in a better position to cope with the
strong Montana team now because
Eastley and Dalley are pitching good
ball, and any time he has control Rojaa
is hard to beat. Should Seattle and
Great Falls break anywhere near even,
and Tacoma make the most of the op
portunity against Spokane. Tacoma will
have a new lease on high life In the
club standings. Vancouver will be
home this coming week for the first
time since the middle of May, Butte will
furnish the opposition. It would not be
much of a surprise to see Vancouver
commence to climb again.
e e e
The Pacific Northwest is making a
better showing in the batting depart
ment of the big leagues this season
than ever before. This applies more
especially to the National League than
the American, because Hellman, for
merly of Portland, and Shortstop Peck
inpaugh. also a former Portland play
er, are only Northwesters to have
rating with tho higher-ups. Hellman
is practically in the charmed .300 cir
cles, while Pecklnpaugh is in the .250
clans.
The leader of graduates from this
section in the National League is Jack
Smith, about whom much has been
written of late. Only a short distance
below him comes "Dutch" Reuther,
who has been of material assistance to
Chicago this season, along with Phil
Douglas. Tenth on the general list is
Wilholt, who broke In with Victoria
wnen Captain L. A. Wattelet was run
ning baseball in the British Columbia
capital. Although Wllholt has not
played regularly in the Boston out
field he has maintained an average of
.321 in about 15 games. Leslie Mann,
who was at one time the speed marvel
of the Seattle club, is hitting right on
the edge of .300, and now and then has
won games with timely hits. Holke.

A This move undoubtedly caused all sub
sequent embarranment. Mr. Lowentnm
should have considered that Morphy had
something up his sleeve when he sacrificed It.
B An admirable move, threatening to
win a piece by Q-CJB3.
C This again is beautifully -ulayed. for If
black exchange rooks, his game la compro
mised as follows: 23.RxR. 24.PXR. QxP.
23.KxPch. and th. black Queen Is lost.
