At Vaughn street: Doubleheader. Penin sula vs. Supple-Ballln; Portland Buckaroos vs. Winner. At St. Johns: Championship doublehead er. Gran.- Smith-Porter vs. Foundation. At Vancouver: Cornfoot vs. Standlfer Clarkson: Emergency fleet Corporation vs. Standifer Office team. At St. Helens: McCormick vs. Columbia Elver. This afternoon the Foundation base ball club will tight It out for the championship of the first half of the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders' League season with Grant Smith-Porter at the St. Johns ball park. The two teams will play a double-header for the title, the first contest starting at 1:30 P. M. As it now stands both Foundation and Smith-Porter have won seven ' games and lost only one. The teams have been practicing hard all week, and are in the best of condition for the fight for supremacy. The two aggregations have not met this season, their regular scheduled game hitting a rainy Sunday last month, resulting In a postponement until today. The managers of the teams look for well over 2500 fans to be on hand to take in today's championship double header. James Slated to Pitch. "Lefty" James, who has won seven out of the eight games that he has worked in, will twirl one of the games for Foundation, while Al Twieful, "Rube" Evans or "Doc" Meikle will put 'em over In the second contest. The only game that Jamea has lost this year was the fateful 12-lnning affair with McCormick In St. Helens some weeks ago. James weakened In the first few Innings, allowing McCormick to get ahead and Anally win out in the 12th Inning. That was the only game tha tFoundation has lost the first half of the season. Eddie Yates has his Grant Smith Porter balltossers in good condition for the test today. Yates will use Barham and Henning as his pitching offerings. Barham has pitched some of the beat ball seen in the league this year and Manager Yates is certain that he will deliver today. Two other double-headers In a sense of the word are scheduled in the Ship builders' League today. Out at the Vaughn-street park Peninsula and Sup-ple-Ballin will get together for a thrill er, the winner getting a crack at the Portland Buckaroos In the other game. "Buck" Keith has three pitchers avail able now in "Rube" Maxmeyer, Sid Williams and La Cloustra. The latter had been playing with Spokane up to the time the team quit and is said to be a good moundsman. Bill Kirwin, who started out with the Bucks this season, will work in the box for Sup-ple-Ballin. Nick Williams, former manager of the Spokane Indians, will play first base for Peninsula. There are four other former Spokane players in the Peninsula lineup now and all of 1 hem v will play against Portland if Peninsula wins the game against Sup-ple-Ballin. Exhibition Game Scheduled. As the Cornfoot and Standif er-Clark-ou clubs in the Shipbuilders League have no regular scheduled games for today, they will stage an exhibition game in Vancouver. Sutherland and f'illett. the two leading twirlers of the Northwestern League last year, and both teammates on the Tacoma club, will, no doubt, have a pitchers' battle today. Sutherland is now the star pitcher for Cornfoot, while Fillet joined the Standifer team last week. Promptly at 1:15 P. M. the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation team, of which Lloyd Wentworth, district supervisor, is cap tain, will play the Standifer office force aggregation in a preliminary game. Lloyd Wentworth, Guy M. Standifer, T. V. Standifer and J. F. Clarkson will all be seen in action. The game was to have been played last Sunday, but was called off on ac count of the death of Colonel Standifer. The other game scheduled in the Shipbuilders' circuit will be fought out in St. Helens, where the Columbia River Company team will cross bats with the McCormick outfit. The second half of the Columbia Willamette Shipbuilders' League will get under way next Sunday, June 16. BASEBALL GAME TODAY COLUMBIA BEACH THRONGED WITH RECREATION SEEKERS. Miniature Railway Is Xearlng Comple tion and Will Be. In Operation Within a Few I) a? a. Warm weather has attracted thou sands in the past week to Columbia Beach, and the promenade, dance pa vilion, bathing facilities in the Colum bia River, Shetland ponies and numer ous other attractions have been well patronized. The engagement of Philip Pelz and his orchestra has been one of the nota ble events at Columbia Beach, for, fol lowing the regular evening concerts commencing at 7 o'clock, the orchestra is heard in the dance pavilion. There is an additional concert Sunday after noons at a o ciocK. Hundreds of soldiers have visited the resort, the management having turned pen the gates for all men in uniform except on Sundays and holidays. Fif teen-minute service by the electric cars is augmented by many autos that make the trip daily. The lower road has been open all season and it will be but a few days before the new Bridgeton road will be opened, giving autoists a short and smooth cut to the beach from the Interstate bridge. For the coming week there will be new novelties and within a brief time the miniature railway, taking patrons around the entire grounds, will be In operation. Among the features for to day will be a baseball game between the Hibernian and the Journal teams of the Inter-City League on the beach dia mond. The game will start promptly at 2:30. The German word for war tank Is "Eturmpunzcrkraftwagen." TRACK SHE KILLED f f Ml mMPM War Makes Serious Inroads on Outdoor Sports. AGGIES ALONE SHOW Only Meet of Year Open to Colleges and High Schools. Military Con tests, Not Success Finan cially or Otherwise. The consolation track meet, held last Friday at Reed College campus, marked the closing of the field events for the year as far as school competi tion is concerned. War has hit track harder than any other amateur sport. Usually there are three or four meets, at least, In which the students from the colleges and high schools are given a chance to compete, but this year there was only one, the military track and field meet, and it wasn't very successful, from either the finan cial point of view or by the showing the men made. Oregon Agricultural College seems to be the only school that had a little of the old pep left. The battle-scarred fields of France left enough men at the "orange" school to have a track meet that looked half way decent, but Oregon suffered considerably, both by the enlistment of so many of Its men in the military service and by the ill ness of Coach Hayward, who was laid up in a Portland hospital a consider able length of time. Multnomah Without Team. Usually there are at least two meets held in Portland, one on the Multnomah Club campus and the other the indoor track meet held annually for the past 12 years at the Columbia University gymnasium. In the days of Walter Hummel, Sam Bellah, Ad Dewey and a host of others, the Winged M had one of the most powerful track teams on the Coast, and was able to put up great fight with the greatest teams the University of Oregon ever had. Hummel is In the service, while most of the others are on the retired list. ,The poor financial showing of the military meet caused the Board of Ed ucation at the prep school a great deal of worrying and they decided to take no chances on the outcome and called the annual indoor meet off. Multno mah did the same, so there was no meet in Portland where the colleges could compete. War hit athletics at the University of Washington so hard that they prac tically decided to do away with track there. Washington always had a good team, but almost all of her stars are now iii some military branch. - Hish Schools Hit by War. Even the high schools suffered . by the loss of so many star track men. Last year Washington High had a powerful team. Charley Parsons, Puss Graves, Earl Johnson and a host of others are now In the infantry and the aviation service. Jefferson High School seems to be the only school that has not , suffered to a great extent by enlistments. The Democrats had one of the greatest all- around teams this Spring that any school ever had. They' had a team that could make a creditable showing in competition with any school In the country, but Coach Quigley had no place to take his men. There was no Eugene meet this year and no Colum bia meet. They were barred from com petition at the Heed College consola tion meet, and Coach Quigley's great team had only one chance to show its real worth. Some of the Eastern Oregon schools had no teams at all, as they had no place to send their men, so, as a whole, this year was a dismal failure for all track teams. In the Northwest at least. Portland Motorboat Club Notes. BY CASEY. COMMODORE BOOST kept his prom ise and made the cruise a cracker- jack. His flagship, the Ar isan, left the club loaded to the' guards with friends and new members of the club, who do not own boats, and was the first to arrive at the park. By the time the other boats began to arrive the com modore had the park in shape to pull off the stunts. And some stunts were pulled, believe me. . Of all the stunts, the ladies' nail driving contest was the most enjoyed by the spectators. Several of the con testants are wearing gauze and band ages this week instead of gloves. In the male tug-o'-war Frank Vog ler's team couldn't budge Commodore Boost's team, because the end of the rope was tied around a tree. . The trim little runabout Gaygo. gave a speed exhibition off the park. The Bashful Boy carried a couple of young ladles aboard. Ernie von der Werth's Naughty Girl passed by the park, but didn't stop. A pretty race between the Bashful Boy and Gaygo was interrupted when the Bashful Boy ran In behind Hog Island while the Naughty Girl passed by. The Sylph, with Captain Mrs. Kendall at the wheel, came in with a party late In the afternoon. It was a pleasing sight to see the Sylph "doing 30" com ing up the river. The Geewhlz, Captain Ray Jamison. accompanied by a" couple of friends. tried out his new engine on the way up ! tf tha r, 1 - .1 i. 1 i mi " " " u ii tvuineu tints. un the return trip, owing to a loose con nection, the cam shaft smashed the crank case. Ray is savin thlnsrs about the fellow who put it in. ... During the cruise there were several races between some of the fast boats. Ray Jamison tried to beat the Svlnh. but Geewhlz couldn't do it. ... Captain Jim Smith is as proud as a peacock of the.Keno since he put the new engine in. her. . On the way down the river he overtook the Svlnh whila the latter was taking Orlo's canoe aboard. The old reliable, the Wanderlust, was on hand as usual with a large crowd, several of whom returned with prizes captured In the contests. Chess. E. H. BRYANT, Editor. Phone Tabor 013.

SEATTLE. Wash.. June S. (Special. Seattle golfers are wondering Just what kind of a team Portland will noinl up to the big Northwest championships to be held at the Seattle Golf Club course during the week of June Officials of the Pacific Northwest Gulf Association have decided that the coming tournament will be a war relief affair, every dollar going to the Ked Cross. 11. A. "Dixie" Fleager. the crack shooter of the local' club, is hopinir that some of the Rose City slickers de cide to visit this village for the bier championships, because the loc:ii golfers is experiencing his b-st year at the Scottish game. Kleager, competing for the Seattle championship Friday and Saturday, showed his old-time skill. Ills score of 71 in the opening round being one of the niftiest of the soason, over the tricky north club links. The Seattle man lost out in the final event last season. contested at the Waverly Club at Portland, and he is thirsting for revenge. While Rudulpli Wllhelm took the measure of "Dixie" In the Oregon meet, l'leaner's friend' believe the Seattle mati would reverse the decision in his own backyard. Several young players from the municipal links are playing great golf now and with Vancouver. Victoria. Spokane and other cities promising t-, send some of their best rcpresentati tives. the scramble for the big honors promises to be Interesting. While baseball Is not attracting an enormous amount of interest from old George Public at the present time, the brand of ball being served by Seattle's scrappy manager. William Leard. is causing the fans to s It up and wonder. A couple of seasons a o Wicked William was Just an ordinary ball player, not quite good enough to itinke a Coast League team. Rut today Leard is playing better all-around baseball than any other man in thd league. Besides starring around " the second pillow the Seattle manager is ranking as follows with the stick: Third In batting, with mark of .3S4; first in run-getting, with 37 markers: second in stealing bases, with 16: sixth in total base hitting, with 57. Pretty good for an old bird who was playing ball when most of the men now drawing salary in this league were in rompers, think Seattle fans. Willie Robinson and Frankle Tucker will furnish the boxing headliner for this coming week, with Chet Ncff and Billy Williams, the Portland boy. play ing the second role. Robinson and Ingle boxed a good draw at the last show, and the Call fornian made such a good showing that he was signed to meet Tucker at the Klks' Club Tuesday. Tucker has been coming along at a fast clip of late, and many think he has a pood chance to best the southerner. Hilly Williams and Chet Neff boxed a torrid four rounds a month ago. the Seattle boy getting a close verdict. Many of the fans thought it should have been a draw, so the two were rcmatched. The ten-round bout scheduled for Bremerton June 22 promises to empty this town of boxing fans. It has been many a day since local ring followers have seen a real 10-round scrap, and everybody is planning on going over to see the fun. Matchmaker Nate Druximan, brother of the man who is putting on the Aberdeen shows, is staging the bout for the Red Cross and it Is estimated that $"(H0 or $6utio will be raised for the war fund. King and Farmer put up two slash ing bouts this Spring, one here anil the other in Tacoma. P.oth men ure cocksure or winning and, with the co scheduled for 10 sessions, it is pretty certain that a winner will be decided this time. Every trapshooter within the border? of this fair land is talking about the match between Billy Heer, the Okla homan, and Frank Troeh, the -Van couver. Wash., star. One expert who thinks the Easterner will beat the Western champion is 1' J. Hololian, the Portland professional Holohan has followed the careers of both men and he thinks that the crack Oklahoma shooter is too tough a bird for Troeh to tackle. However, Seatt sportsmen are backing the Washington man to the limit, and the largest crowd that has ever seen a trap event the history of the city, will be on hand when he two men compete at the Gre Lake traps this month. The action of the college coaches In voting for the continuation of inter collegiate sports meets with the hearty approval of Seattle ahletic followers. Coach Claude Hunt, of Washington, is one who thinks athletics should be encouraged if there Is no one left to play but the women, and. now that It I" settled that football will be on next Fall's programme. followers of th crridiron game sre hreathlng easier. bstsvDiianea lasi sf 'rrz sf
