GAMK NO. 21L LOW SCORES TURNED Jft. Wilhelm Makes He cord of Strokes in Lower Jfine; Big Xum ber of California and North- west Visitors Arrive. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. Every incoming: train yesterday brought its quota of golfers for the Pacific Northwestern patriotic golf championships which will open tomor row morning at the Waverley Country Club. Apparently the 1917 Northwest ' meet will bring together the most i notable assortment of linksmen ever gathered at a 19th hole in this dis trict. Despite intermittent showers yester day the Waverley course was clogged to the limit with players endeavoring to Iron out tinctures of slices and hooks, prior to Monday's Qualifying rounds of 36 holes. One top-notch four-ball match was made up of Russel Smith, NorthweBt champion, and Arthur Vincent, of San Francisco. Michigan state champion, versus Jack Neville, of Del Norte, Cal., former Coast champion, and Paul Ford, of Seattle, former Wash ington champion ana twice runner-up in the Northwest meet. The match ended even. All four were low In the 70s, Russel Smith bagging a 71. Wllhelm's Play Remarkable. Rudolph Wilhelm, open champion of the Northwest, turned the most note worthy trick of all the preliminary rounds. The Portland Club star estab lished a remarkable record of 30 strokes for the lower nine. His card was: 3. 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3 30. Wllhelm's three on the 18th hole, a distance of 670 yards, stands out as a feat of wooden club wizardry that would do justice to Marston or any of the re irowned long-distance stars. Wilhelm laid his brassie to within a few feet of the pin and holed his putt. He took a 39 on the first nine so fin ished with a 69, one stroke over the course record held by Russel Smith. Quite a crowd of Seattle players ar rived yesterday and a dozen more are due today. J. C. Ford, son Paul, and daughter. Miss Agnes Ford, Northwest women's champion, arrived in a special car and Miss Ford turned in a card of 86 in the afternoflh. Dixie Fleager, Se attle city champion, Jack Ballinger, Se attle Club champion; Bob Johnstone, Seattle professional, and Johnny Dreh er. champion golf editor of the Seattle Times, are due this morning.

SAN FRANCISCO OFFICIALS TO EASE UP ON BOXING GAME Oakland Has Been Getting All the Good Things of "Life,' and All the Good Money Has Been Going Across Bay, Says Harry B. Smith. BY HARRY B. SMITH. San r round condl AN FRANCISCO. June 23. Four- d boxing under reorganized conditions and with the lid par tially tilted, if not entirely taken cf, is to be dished u? to San Francisco fans in the luturs. And if the dear public doesn't take to that sort of thing well, then, it's good night and goodby so far as boxing is concerned. The Parkside Club that has had al most a monopoly of the game at Dreamland Rink was something like 12000 in the hole when the promoters threw up their hands. And then Harry Foley, who, in ad dition to being a promoter, is manager of Dreamland Rink, got busy. He brought together four men who are old hands at the fight game and agreed to give them exclusive rights to the use of Dreamland for Friday night shows. The new quartet is made up of Frank Schuler, who promoted four round fights long before he looked after the wrestlers; Alec Ureggains, who was a promoter of the days be fore 20-round matches were tabooed; Dolph Thomas, matchmaker and lead ing spirit in the Parkside Club, and Foley himself. Their scheme is to give each club a weekly whack, and. by alternating, there will be more of a chance to look over the field for talent. Also, It comes in a whisper, that the police authorities are going to be a trifle more liberal in their interpreta tion of the law, letting In some of the boys who previously have been barred. As a matter of fact, the state of af fairs as between San Francisco and Oakland has been unjust. Oakland has been allowed to use almost anyone, while the lines have been tightly drawn here at home. The consequence is that Oakland has been handling far more attractive matches and they have been getting a lot of good San Francisco money. When Ortega and Billy Murphy boxed in Oakland on the afternoon of June 5 it is estimated something like 2000 San Francisco sportsmen made the trip across the bay. - Of course the police are not com ing out in the open and saying the bars will be dropped, but there is an undercurrent of understanding that in the future they will be less trouble some. At all events, the. promoters are banking on bettered conditions and they believe that with a change of faces and bigger matches the crowds will come back to life. The first of these shows was given last Friday night, and the attendance was encouraging from a crowd stand point. Always the great trouble is the rivalry of promoters, with the fellows on the outside hating to see the chaps who are in making any money. Al ready there have been hints of the springing up of new clubs. If that is done, it's a cinch the heavy hand of the law will once more put a stop to proceedings and perhaps kill the game entirely. For instance, Frank Carter is trying the novelty of staging four-round bouts at the Valencia Theater. Last week was his first effort, and he was not rewarded by an attendance that came anywhere near paying the bills. For some reason or other, San Francisco fans apparently do not like to watch matches in a theater. Moreover, Al Young, with his Associations Club shows on Wednesday nights, fills the bill for the cheaper class of matches, and Carter would do well to cry quits. There isn't any talk of future wres tling matches, but there certainly Is plenty of aftermath on the score of the Zbyszko-Lewis fizzle. The after math consists chiefly at the present time of unpaid bills, amounting to something like $800. The preliminary wrestlers are whistling to their coin and so are fence-board advertisers, as well as others who did not have the foresight to demand cash In advance. Newman takes the stand that he is liable only for a third of the bills, Foley says he has lost enough, and, what is more, has spent his cash, while Jack Kearns simply laughs. In consequence, there are a lot of fellows who put in their time trying to find out the chances of landing the coin. Strangler Lewis, by the way, re mained over in San Francisco for a cou ple of weeks after the bout. Everybody thought he had left for Chicago until there came a story through the channel of the courts that Lewis had been called upon to make a deposition in a San Mateo County divorce case. Just what Lewis had to depose is not known at the present since everyone connected with the affair refuses to talk. When asked his reasons tor lingering in San Francisco the Strangler grinned and said the climate suited him. He added that inasmuch as he lost to Sbyszko, some of his engagements were canceled and he would remain behind until Billy Sandow had drummed up something for him to do. There is considerable bitterness in the West over the attitude assumed in Australia with reference to Les Darcy. Snowy Baker, particularly, was bitter toward the former Australian middle weight, and In his official organ, a pub licity sheet sent broadcast to American newspapers. Baker has had some nasty things to say. It should be understood, of course, that what was said in Sydney was writ ten prior to the news even that Darcy was seriously ill. The bulletin told of a letter to Baker from Darcy In which Les expressed a desire to return home admitting he had made a mistake. Now. it should have stopped with that information. But no. Baker or one of his associates had to show ani mus in the case. It was said that re ports had been received of Darcy"s de sire to enlist with the Americans and it was suggested that he had best re main In the United States and do his little bit with the Americans before thinking of going home to Sydney. Naturally all this sounds more harsh since the death of the boy, but even so, there wsjs little to excuse such a feel ing. Makes one think that Baker re gretted the loss of his meal ticket for financial reasons more than because of patriotism and was taking his spite out in that sort of fashion. And also it is more than possible Baker does not represent general opin ion. A wealthy Melbourne stockman and horse owner, who recently arrived across the Pacific, was interviewed this week and expressed the opinion that Darcy's body would be given a great reception on landing. "We all regretted his departure for America under the circumstances," said this man, "but I think that most of us realized it was the act of a boy who had made a mistake for which he later would wish to atone. At all events, that is all over now. Even when it looked the darkest for Darcy he was still regarded as the greatest middle weight produced since the days of Bob Fitzslmmons. It is a mistake if Ameri cans think Australia is altogether against Darcy." Willie Ritchie is at home after his motor trip to St. Louis' with the San Francisco Ad Club. Out of 14 cars that started for St. Louis, four finished the ISIHTE WAR MEDALS WILL BE GIVEJi TO WI.WERS l.N . GOLF TOl'HXAMEXT, crr I T !! Instead of expending large sums for costly trophies and cups the Pacific Northwest Golf Association will give only inex pensive medals to the winners in the patriotic tournament, which opens tomorrow morning at the Waverley Country Club. About $1200 will be saved in this man ner and this money is to be turned into Red Crossi channels. Early laot May Graham Glass, chairman of the tournament com mittee, organized a design of a crossed rifle and golf club for. the unique war medals. Some body back East must have had the same idea, for in the June Issue of the Golfers' Magazine the Western Golf Association an nounces a similar design for its war medals. 4 4 4 , .JIJL . ,, , .j..

"It was harder work than any cham pionship fight I ever had," declared Ritchl-t in recounting some of the de tails of the excursion. "In one espe cially bad piece of road we made six miles in nine hours, and most of the journey we had to be aided by a team of horses." Ritchie has a good word to say for the new lightweight champiqn. admit ting in the same breath that he (Ritchie) Is no longer able to make anwhere near the lightweight limit. "I was surprised at the outcome," said the Californian. "for I thought it would be a long, long time before any one would knock out Welsh inside of 10 rounds. However, I welcome the new champion, who is a mighty fine fellow, personally, and a great boxer. He has the brains and I believe he is the greatest lightweight titleholder since the days of Joe Gans. He is not flashy or showy, but a thorough work man. I saw him when he knocked out Richie Mitchell and he is worth while admiring." Golf Tourney Sidelights. JITNEY dances will be given at the Waverley Country clubhouse on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. Practicing for the tournament the other night, Rudolph Wilhelm holed a 150-yard jigger shot for a. two on the third hole. Yesterday's rain was welcomed with glee by the tournament officials, as the sunny weather of 10 days back had baked the fairways to a. considerable extent. Bronze plaques will be given for sec ond place in all the flights and in some of the special events.

Portland Youngster Likely to Be Seen In Seattle Ring on July 10, Opposing Some 13 3-Pounder. Vancouver Promoters Wait. Jack Wagner, the rugged Portland lightweight who' put the skids under Harry Casey, the Seattle whirlwind in Seattle recently, has signed to box Fred Gilbert, lightweight champion of Central Oregon, in Bend, Or., on July 2. They will step over the ten-round dis tance and it should be one of the best battles ever staged in that city. Wagner is one of the foremost con tenders for the Northwest lightweight championship and is a clever two-fisted boxer. He carries a knockout punch in either hand and has an uppercut that few jan get away from. After his bout with Gilbert. Jack will go after Muff Bronson, Pete Mltchle and Lloyd Madden to pave his way to the title. In Gilbert he will be meeting a tough customer who has a reputation for rough battling. In most of his bouts i- red has stopped his opponents before the distance has been covered. All Wagner has to say about Gilbert is. "the harder they battle the better I like It. they cannot come too fast for me." Gilbert thinks otherwise and ex pects to put the Rose City .mixer in slumberland before the tenth round comes up. Muff Bronson returned from Seattle yesterday where he met Lloyd Madden In a fast and furious four-round bout for the lightweight championship of the Northwest- Bronson took every round but the bout was called a draw after he had hit Madden with every thing but the rlngposts. Muff was in grand shape for his bout and the boys at his weight in this part of the coun try will have to step some to make the going hard for him. He may box again in Seattle July lo, opposing some good 133 pounder. -"Nats" to Play for Red Cross. CHICAGO. June 23.
