THE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, rORTLAXD, AUGUST 12, 1917.
STATE GOLF PLAY
STARTS TOMORROW
Pick of Players of Oregon to
Be Seen in Action on
Gearhart Course.
TURF IN FINE SHAPE
During First Two Days Women to
Show Tlitlr Skill Tourney to
Be of Patriotic Nature.
All Details Complete.
TVith the pick of the golfers of Ore
gon in attendance, the annual state
golf championship tournament will be
nin tomorrow morning at Gearhart-by-the-Sea.
It will be the first time in
history that the state event has been
held outside of Portland. Owing to
the fact that Portland entertained the
Northwest golfers in early Summer
and the added reason that the local
courses are a bit hard at this season
of the year, the Waverley committee
saw fit to switch the state classic to
the beautiful turf of the seaside at
Gearhart.
For the first two days, Monday and
Tuesday, the women players will hold
tournament sway. The women will
qualify 18 holes tomorrow; will play
the first round Tuesday, the semi
finals Wednesday and the finals Thurs
day. The men's qualifying rounds of
86 holes will be played Wednesday;
the first two elimination rounds of 18
holes each on Thursday; semi-finals
on Friday, 36 holes, and the finals on
Saturday," 36 holes.
Extra Flights Provided.
The women's handicap is scheduled
for Thursday morning; the mixed four
somes for Friday afternoon, and the
men's handicap for Saturday afternoon.
There will be seven extra flights for
the men and four for the women, so
that nearly everybody who enters will
land a flight. A caddy tournament
Sunday morning will round out the
busy week.
A much more representative entry
will grace the Gearhart list than if the
tourney were held in Portland, due to
the presence of so many Eastern and
Southern Oregon players at Gearhart
on their vacations. Quite a number of
"Washington and Idaho players also
will be in attendance. One of these,
Cliff Weatherwax, of Aberdeen, will be
a guest at the home of C. H. Davis, Jr.
W. J. Patterson, of Aberdeen, president
of the Pacific Northwest Golf Associ
ation, also will be there.
The tournament will be of a patriotic
nature, all money over bare expenses
to be given to some war relief fund.
Inexpensive "war" medals will be
given to the winners in the various
events instead of the customary costly
plate trophies. The two champions'
will receive gold medals and the flight
winners silver medals.
Champions Are Entered.
Russel Smith is the present state
champion and Mrs. J. A. Dougherty,
the women's champion. Rudolph Wil
helm, former state and now Northwest
champion, will be among the notables
after Russel Smith's crown.
Post entries will be allowed in all
vents.
The tournament committee consists
of the following:
Roscoe Fawcett, chairman; R. C. F.
-Astbury. Waverley Country Club; Sam
B. Archer. Portland Golf Club: Henry

SPORT FLOURISHES IX MEXICO
102 Baseball Nines and 50 Soccer
Teams Play in Capital.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 11. That ama
teur sport is flourishing in the Mex
ican capital is shown by the fact that
there are 102 organized amateur base
ball nines in the city and its suburbs
end over BO soccer football teams. The
season permits play at all times. Even
during the rainy season the mornings
are almost always clear and sunshiny
and the nature of the soil and the
high, dry atmosphere makes delay on
account of wet grounds almost un
known.
No regular league series are played
by the baseball clubs, but short series
between three or more selected team
are arranged from month to month,
The games usually are played Sunday
morning or on feast days and holidays
and as a general thing no admission
Is charged.
Many of the larger athletic clubs and
colleges and professional schools bav
three or four teams each, the firs
teams drafting players from the lease
teams as they are developed.
Prominent Catholic Dies.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 11. Thoma
P. Minahan. one of the organizers o
the American Federation of Catholl'
Societies, and Its first president, died
here last night after a lingering ill
ness. Mr. Minahan was one of the best
known Catholic laymen in the United
States, and was prominent in banking
circles on Puget Sound. A widow, two

New Physical-Director Comes
to Multnomah Club.
NSTRUCTOR IS PRAISED
Eddie O'Connel!, Wrestling and Box

structor in Swimming, to
Continue Services.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club has obtained Otto C. Mauthe as
physical director of the "Winged M in
stitution for the comlne Winter. The
ew director hallt rrom the Stone In
stitution of Physical Education at Me
nominee, Wis.
Mauthe has been director of physical
education at the University of Southern
California Summer school, where many
Portland persons have taken gym
nastics and dancing under nis supervi
sion. In a letter to Dow V. Walker, super
intendent of the club, D. A. Sargent, di
rector of athletics at Harvard Univer
sity, declared that Mauthe was one of
the best athletic directors and all-
around gymnasium men in the United
States.
Mauthe succeeds Earl Crow, who was
made instructor upon the resignation of
Dr. Leslie Clough, former trainer for
the Portland Beavers.
Esthetic and folk dancing, parallel
bar work, calesthenics and gym
nastics are the branches In which the
new instructor excels. He will assume
his new duties on September 15. While
the men's classes will not be as large
as heretofore, the women's classes will
be up to the standard. The club has
lost a large number of its active mem
bers through enlistments in the various
branches of Uncle Sam's forces.
According to Superintendent Walker,
football will be played by the club this
year, but the Drana will do an uncer
tainty. In speaking of football. Walker
remarked:
There will be a football team placed
on the field by the club this year, but
doubt if It will be up to the inter
collegiate standing. We will have a
team, all right, but the material lr too

MALLWYD Rt'STCM, OWNED BY MAX FLEISCHXER.
At the next bench show to be held in Portland the local dog fanciers will
get a chance to see Mallwyd Rustum, one of the best English setters In the
United States today. Mallwyd Rustum has been the sensation of the bench
shows held in New York City, and it was there that he attracted the eye of
Max Fleischner, the local sportsman, who is now his owner.
Mallwyd Rustum was whelped May 26, 1916, and. although still a young
puppy, is a typical English Better. Champion Mallwyd Edwards is his sire,
and Sir Roger Bluebell. A. K. C, No. 187351. was sire of his dam.
"Champion after champion came from Mallwyd Edwards, and in Mallwyd
Rustum Mr. Fleischner thinks he has a coming champion for canine fanciers to
admire.
Mr. Fleischner has brought to Portland In the past years many champion
dogs. His kennels are near Metzger Station.
In speaking of the Mellwyd Rustum, W. B. Fechheimer, another of Port
land's sportsmen, said: "When the dog was in New York he was still a puppy
and showed wonderful signs of developing Into a perfect setter."

Youth. Who Weighs Only 55 Pounds,

Club and at Beaches.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) George Richardson, son of
James J. Richardson, the Beaver Scout
and a pupil of Jack Cody's, is startling
the swimming fans by his diving" per
formances at the San Francisco tanks.
Young Richardson is only 11 years
old and weighs just 55 pounds. He is
a member of the junior class of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club of
Portland.
George recently gave a diving exhi
bition at the Olympic Club and at Nep
tune Beach. No dive seems too diffi
cult or hazardous for him. At the last
Rose Festival swims in Portland,
George gave a diving exhibition that
would put many older divers to shame.
Under the guidance of Jack Cody, in
structor at the "Winged M" institution,
George bids fair to become a cham
pion. Ruth, his youngest sister, also is
quite a swimmer, and the two are at
tracting much attention at the differ
ent beaches.
Ruth and George, with their mother,
are visiting their grandparents In this
city, the home of Mr. Richardson.

NEW LAURELS EXPECTED
Private in Provisional Field Hos
pital "Will Represent Multnomah
Club on University of Wash
ington Campus.
Walter A. Hummell, or better. Pri
vate Hummell, for Walter is now with
the Provisional Field Hospital at Amer
ican Lake, will represent the ..Multno
mah Amateur Athletic Club at the
National track and field chamnionshlns
to be held at the Washington Univer-
41 ' ciauiuiu at ou UUUI8 AUSUSt fl
and September 1.
Hummell is captain of the Winged M
track team and holder of the world's
440-yard hurdle championship. If Hum
mell wore on the battlefield all the
medals he has won a coat of steel
armor would look like papier mache
compared to his array of trophies.
Hummell has been winning races and
field events since he was a member of
the Shattuck School way back in 1905.
While a grammar school lad, Hummell
not only won all the races, but went
out and captured the broad jump, high
jump and the rest of the field events.
Idol of East Defeated.
In New Jersey last year at the senior
and junior championships Hummell
startled the world by winning the 440
yard hurdle event in :54 4-5. Hummell
won from Meanix, the idol. of the East,
who was declared unabeatable until he
was conquered by Hummell.
At the Columbia indoor meet held last
April Hummell won the 440-yard dash
and the 50-yard hurdle race. A week
later he won the 50-yard low hurdles,
50-yard high hurdles and ran a lap of
the mile relay at the Oregon "Aggie"
meet.
At San Diego In 1915 he established
a new Coast record of :56 2-5 for the
440-yard hurdle event. In 1915 Hum
mell won the 220-yard hurdle title for
the Pacific Northwest.
Hummell is a self-made athlete and
can attribute his success to himself
and the way he has faithfully kept In
condition and trained.
Condition Kept Up Easily.
Keeping in condition is easv for
Walter, as he has no bad habits. Train
ing at all times and under all condi
tions is his favorite pastime. The hard
est thing for an athlete to do is to
train daily by himself. Long hikes
alone and cross-country runs are not
to be envied when the weather is bad.
but .Hummell has always gone out and
overcome these obstacles and trained
hard.
Hummell wants to- win the hurdle
events again this year and is getting
in condition while at American Lake.
Private Hummell has built a regula
tion hurdle, standing three feet six
inches high, and uses this in his daily
practice. While other athletes spend
their spare time playing baseball or
swimming in American Lake, Private
Hummell takes his hurdle out on the
prairie, sets it on a level spot, marks
off the official distance from a starting
line and then dashes towards it with
the hurdler's long and even stride. He
soars above the hurdle like a deer,
which is more literal than figurative,
as his olive drab uniform resembles
the brown coat of the deer.
Continual practice is essential to a
hurdler more than to any other sort of
an athlete, as he must clip his margin
above the hurdle to the very minimum,
so that all his effort may be placed
upon getting over the hurdle with all
the speed and with as little waste of
energy as possible.

last season's crack freshman team will
be on hand to z.ld for places on the
varsity. It was thought at first that
freshmen would this year be allowed to
play on the varsity, but su -h was never
intended to be the case at the Univer
sity of California. The so-called fresh
man rule is, in reality, the -corner-stone
on which the conference agreement
rests, and it was felt that to abolish the
rule barring the youngsters from the
varsity teams, even as a temporary
war measure, would be striking a seri
ous blow at the conference Itself.
The matter of abolishing the fresh
man rule may come up for considera
tion when the northern colleges open."
said Graduate Manager Stroud recent
ly. "Whatever, their stand, California
will doubtless oppose any move that
would tend to nullify the freshman rule.
v e have waged too hard a battle for
the adoption of the freshman rule to
the Coast to favor its abolition now."
With the opening of the university only
a week away, the usual rumors as to
the veterans to return lend uncertainty
as to who will really return. Quarter
back Roy Sharpe was one of the first of
the college athletes to be drafted, and
it is doubtful if Captain Fred Brooks
will return. Toomey, McKay, Gif-
ford and Boucher, of the 1920 fresh
man team, will be on hand to make the
squad. The 1921 eleven will be rein
forced by numerous prep stars from
Fresno, Bakersfield, San Diego and
Portland.
Bezdek Is Lauded as Manager.
The word comes from Pittsburg that
Hugo Bezdek, newest of managers, is
to succeed, because Bezdek is a "nat
ural leader of men."
Natural leaders of men are rare, to
say the least, and such a statement
coming at this time may be premature.
"The men follow Bezdek's orders im
plicitly." the article goes on to say
which, if true, means a great deal flor
the Pirates.
But this statement is also open to
criticism. News dispatches recently
told of the suspension of Al Mamaux
for breaking training rules.
If Bezdek's orders were being carried
out it is certain this wouldn't have
happened, and it is evident that the
infractions of Mamaux were serious,
for pitchers with the latent ability of
Mamaux are not suspended for triviali
ties.
Scanning the records for several
years you find only a few managers
who in the narrow sense of the term
can be called natural leaders of men.
Frank Chance is one of them. A
weaker man than Chance could not
have handled the Cubs of a decade ago.
But Chance could not make managers
out of his own men witness the fail
ure of Tinker.
Connie Mack is a natural leader, and
a strict disciplinarian. John McGraw is
natural leader. None but a natural
leader could handle the bunch of tem
perament on his ball club. Bill Carri-
gan, nuKnie uennings, r rea uiarxe,
perhaps Moran and Hugglns, and cer
tainly, in view of his work this year.
Christy Mathewson, are natural lead
ers. That about lets them out.
Another glance- over the records
shows the great stars of the game who
have tried and failed, just because they
were not natural leaders. There's
Tinker, already mentioned; Hal Chase,
Lajoie. Stovall and Harry Davis, Bob
Wallace. Roger Pecklnpaugh, Norman
Elberfeld and others.
Maybe Bezdek has it if so. watch
out for the Pirates in 1918. A natural
leader can go about where he wants to
with his ball club.

WESTERN TOURNEY
BIG GOLF FEATU
Meet at Westmoreland Club,
Chicago, September 12-14,
Will Attract Stars.
OUIMET'S ENTRY PROBABLE
Evans, Who Decided Early in Season
to Play Only for Patriotic Pur
poses, May Be Prevailed On
to Get Into Action.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11. With the West
ern amateur golf championship out of
the way, attention of American golfers
turns to the Western open tourna
ment, the only important golf cham
pionship of the year in the United
States, as the United States Golf Asso
ciation cancelled its tournaments on
account of the war. leaving Chick
Evans to hold over his dual title. All
the Eastern professionals and several
leading amateurs, according to Tom
McNarriara. of New York, former cham
pion, will meet at the Westmoreland
Club. Chicago, on September 12 to 14
to contest for the open title.
When Francis Ouimet, recognized
as an amateur by the Western
Golf Association, captured the ama
teur title at Midlothian recently
following the decision of the United
States Golf Association to aban
don championship play, further at
tention was called to the open meet
planned by the Western body for Sep
tember. This event has for several year-3
been a National affair, and the title
was captured last year by Walter Ha
gen, of Rochester, at Milwaukee, with
Jack Hutchinson, then of Pittsburg,
and George Sargent, of Minneapolis,
tied for second place and James Barnes
of Philadelphia, close behind. The title
in 1915 was carried off by Tom Mc
Namara. then of Boston, with Alex Cun
ningham, of Wheeling. W. Va., in sec
ond place and Sargent, Hagen and M.
J. Brady, of Boston, next in order after
the 72-hole contest at Glen Oak Club,
Chicago.
Barnes Wins in 1914.
The championship in 1914, played at
lnterlacken Club. Minneapolis, wan won
by James Barnes, of Philadelphia, with
William Kidd. of St. Louis, as runner-
up. In 1913 John J. McDermott. fa
mous Eastern professional, led the field
at Memphis and in 1912 MacDonald
Smith, then at Del Monte, Cal., topped
the scores at Idlewild Club, Chicago.
The Western open title has not been
won by a Western Golf Association ter
ritory player, except Smith and Hutch
inson, since it was made a medal play
affair five years ago, and in all the
tournaments there has been a larger
representation of Eastern par golfers
than of Western players of a similar
rating.
There have not been as many scratch
amateur players entered, however.
there have been in the National open
meets, although Charles Evans. Jr., N
tional amateur and open champion, won
the event in 1910 at Beverly Club, Chi
cago, when the play was at match. The
premier amateur of America, then only
20 years old. made low medal of 71 and
defeated George Simpson, Chicago pro
fessional, in the final round, 6 and 5
Evans competed at Glen Oak two years
ago, but was off his game and did not
make a showing.
Ouimet May Compete.
While the event has been more strict
ly a professional championship than
the National open meet, it is likely that
Ouimet will compete this year. The
Boston amateur, who won the National
open title by defeating Harry Vardon
and Edward Ray in 1913, said he in
tended to play in the coming West
moreland tournament, unless unfore
seen contingencies prevented. He is re
ported to be among the first ones
drawn in the selective draft lottery.
and this may prevent his participation
Evans, early in the season, decided to
devote his golfing activities this year
to playing for the benefit of the Red
Cross and similar war organizations
but he may yet decide to enter. Robert
Gardner, twice National amateur cham
pion, has entered for war service and
will not compete. Tom McNamara, as
spokesman for many Eastern profes
slonals, while attending the amateur
championship play at Midlothian, ld
"All the best Eastern professionals
and, I believe, a goodly number of am
ateurs. will be at Westmoreland for
the open tournament. Golfers in the
East are pleased with the stand of the
Western Golf Association in staging
tournaments, feeling, as President
Thompson, of that body, said, that golf
"keeps men perpetually and pleasantly
prepared." In addition, as entry fees
and ordinary cost of cups are given to
the Red Cross, the players feel that
they are doing their bit for the coun
try by playing In the meets. Of course
cash prizes are to be awarded at the
open championship, but likely these
sums will be turned over for war pur
poses by the winners; and, in any event,
the leading golfers will be carrying out
President Wilson's Idea that athletics
should be kept up."
Champion Query Box Found.
Youngsters picked up for trial by
major league clubs are of many dif
ferent types. Some not many are shy
and reserved, as was Walter Johnson
when he started his career. Others are
of the smart Alec variety, like Walter
Rehg. formerly of the Red Sox, now
with the Braves, who earned the rep
utation when a rooky with the Pirates.

There are other classifications, but

Veteran players of the Washington
team are authority for the statement

the champion longr-distance query pro

Murray trains his guns upon arising
in the morning and shoots questions
at his teammates unintermittently until

He lulls his "roomy" to sleep with
quizzes after the lights have been

Billy has had little chance to show

two-lap track that has been made in
any part of the United States thus tar
this season. The feat was accomplished
in the free-for-all recently at the

each heat was 2:07, 2:06, 2:07V.
The mare Esperanza. same owner and

a two-lap track at the same meet. The
first of these records was made in the
free-for-all trot, when the mare nego

"These are the three fastest heats
ever trotted in a race 'over a two-lap

cording to Waddell the previous best
three heats were held by two horses
