RICHARDSOX When Myron Wllsey, of the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club, swam back and forth across the Willamette River yesterday, a distance of 900 yards, la II minutes and 35 seconds, he was Just 11 seconds ahead of his nearest rival. Bill Stempel. also of the winged "M" Institution, and finished 27 seconds la front of O. J. Hosford. and won the annual Willamette River marathon. which was a much abbreviated affair this year compared with the usual three-mile distance which has been the feature of the bis river classlo on past occasions. Ten swimmers faced Starter Frank E. Watkms on the float at Kellogg's boathouse and "shoved off at 2:09 to a rood start. Seven of the entrants were men, which number was aug mented by three of the winged "M' mermaids, all of whom finished the race. Day Ideal for Swtmmlaa-. Zt was an Ideal day for the big water svent. The river was calm, a few puffs f wind now and then only tending; to keep the multitude which crowded the Hawthorne bridge and surrounding docks In a rather pleasing frame of mind. Shortly after the swimmers got away It rained for a few minutes and then stopped, and when Wllsey crossed the finishing line Old Sol was beaming down on the crowd In all his glory. There was huge disappointment among the spectators when only 10 swimmers toed the starting mark. The absence of Frank Klernan, who won the 1916 long-distance event and who " ' - : Li - ' : .. . - : V'.. ; -V . t jf .

Wllseys winning of yesterday's big event was a surprise. Hosford, who won the long-distance event last year. waa thought by those who closely fol low the aquatic performances of ths swimmers participating to have the race all sewed up, but he finished third. Stempel Leads la First Half. Stempel led the swimmers until about JO feet from the turning point on the east side of the river, when Myron Wllsey spurted and turned first for the finishing stretch back serosa the river. O. J. Hosford was a fairly close third all the way across the river. On the return Hosford threatened to overtake Etempel. who waa second, but his ef forts proved unequal to the task, and " if - ' ' " - " t V'ps-r t II i GAMP CHANGES OUT Agricultural College.

Harry Eddaa. who has been entered In all the river marathons for the past four years and who always failed to "shove off," gave the boys a thrill yes terday when he started and finished fourth. Eddaa and Bob Enegrene, who finished fifth, put up a beautiful race In the center of the river on the home atretch, Eddaa gradually forging ahead and finishing fourth. Girls Tim Creditable. Irene Pembroke waa the first of the women swimmers to cross the finishing line. She swam the distance In 17 minutes and 40 seconds, which Is a very creditable performance. Virginia Pem broke was second and Thelma Payne finished third. The three girl swimmers finished ahead of Si Seymour, who was last to climb out of the water. Emit Vodjansky. who planned on en tering the race, arrived on the scene after the swimmers had entered the water. He climbed Into his water togs and, accompanied by a canoeist, set out aoross the river and covered the dls tance In good time, finishing ahead of the last three entrants.

Tells Colored Private He Is "Just Plala Captaiau" I the front-line trenches In France a N a town some distance back from ball gams was arranged by the T. M. C. A. war work secretaries. With about 00 men to select from, the promoters managed to get two pretty good teams together. Officiala and privates were among the players. One of the best players was a Captain, who ordinarily Is the soul of dignity and reserve. On the same team with him was a black negro, who manages a team of his own In Mobile, Alabama. In view of the fact that considerable money was at stake and that the play was likely to require excellent team work, it was agreed that all formalities should be put aside for the period of the game; In other words, that people should be called by their first names. There were some familiarities, but none startling until the eighth Inning, when the Captain, on first base, started for third on a short hit. The black darky was coaching at third, and his heart was In the game. The run the Cap tain might get was vital. So, as the Captain, sprinting as swiftly as he could, was plunging toward third, the darky was shouting at the top of his voice: "Come on there, you kid! Come on there, you rabbit. Come on, come on " Just at that moment the Captain tripped and rolled in a cloud of dust. There was still time to make it If he rose quickly. The negro, gathering the full power of his lungs, yelled: "Come on. you; come on, you big stiff, you mud hen; what are we pay ing you for?" Out of the dust cloud rolled the Cap tain safely to third. He put up his hand to call the game for a moment. Then, brushing dust from his clothes and panting for sufficient breath for the Brobdlngnagian utterance he was about to make, he said to the negro: Jim. listen to me and listen good. From this moment on It's Captain. Do you understand English? Captain, just plain Captain!" When Miss Harris M. paced In l:S8tf ver the new track at Toledo, Ohio, the fractional time for the mile was as follows: First quarter, 30 seconds; second quarter, 29 seconds; third quar ter. 30 seconds; and fourth quarter 29 U ecoads. In this heat William led un til near the seven-eighths pole, for transferring students from the R. O. T. C to the Students' Army Training Corps, maintaining their rights previ ously earned and providing for the ful fillment of the purposes of the orders creating the students' army, have been received by President Kerr from the War Department. Provisions for con tinuing the regular military instruction conducted by the college as one of the land-grant institutions were Inclosed. Students here who took the baslo R. O. T. C courses last year and are en titled to membership in the advanced courses this year, will be granted the equivalent of the commutation of sub sistence allowed under the former or ganization, amounting to S9 a month. They will also receive full uniforms of bat and cord, leggings, shoes, shirt, blouse, breeches and overcoat. Instead of being limited to S14 as commutation as at present.

Land-grant colleges would meet the Government specification for universal military - tralnfhg by establishing the students' Army, but "to meet the spe cial situation which exists In land grant colleges in which military In struction is compulsory," adjustment will be made. The usual amount of baslo military instruction will be open to all students of whom It Is required. The Oregon Agricultural College will profit by this adjustment and conduct its regular courses In military science for students under 18 years of age and others who do not enlist In the Stu dents' Army Training Corps or In the technical and mechanical groups of United States soldiers In training at the college'. The regular courses will be stronger than ever before, because of the in creased facilities for doing the work. In addition to the commandant and his staff, 15 commissioned officers of the U. S. Army will be on the ground to drill the 800 soldiers in technical train lng. Drill periods for these regular soldiers and for the students In the Students' Army Training Corps will be distinct from the drill periods of CLEMSOfl OPEN FOR TROPHY GOLFERS Generous Gift Likely to Stimu late Interest Among Rec ' ognized Clubs. COMPETITIVE PLAY IS PLAN Details as to How Cup May Be AVon Have Been Left With AT. D. Scott, Who Has Called Meet ing for Tuesday Night. John G. Clemson, president of the Portland Golf Club, has donated a beautiful trophy to be known as the Clemson trophy and which will be open for play by any of the three rec ognized golf clubs In Portland. This latest act of Clemson, who Is one of the most ardent boosters of the royal ancient game In Portland and the Northwest, will be gratefully received by golf devotees who have long felt the want of lust such a trophy, which will help bring the members, of the three big golf clubs into competition against each other. Mr. Clemson has left all details con nected with how the cup may be won with W. D. Scott, chairman of the handicap committee of the Portland Golf Club, who has called a meeting for next Tuesday night, at which time representatives from the Portland Golf Club. Waverley Country Club and Tualatin Country Club, will arrange the terms of play for the Clemson cup. bpeaklng of the recent addition to the beautiful trophies donated by Mr. Clemson, W. D. Scott, of the Portland Golf Club, said yesterday: "I am sure that this latest generous offer of Mr. Clemson will be appreciated by the members of the three Portland clubs. He has given the trophy with absolute ly no strings attached to It, and is leaving its manner of permanent pos session to representatives of the three clubs. While nothing has been said regard- ng how many times the cup must be won before it becomes the permanent property of any club, it is said on good authority that it will be suggested at Tuesday's meeting that it must be won at least three times. and Instead of returning home from St. Helens with the other boats, run up Lewis River for an outing. It was done, and Sunday afternoon we left St. Helens and went up the east fork of Lewis River about two miles above La Center and landed. The next morn ing very early the Commodore and I started up the river, whipping the rif fles for trout, and it was late in tne evening before we returned. Arriving at the boat we found her name had been changed to Mosquito Prison, and the women on a strike. No dinner would be served until another berth was found free from mosquitoes. It was then we remembered a place we used to admire some 25 years previous ly as we rounded a bend in the river when employed on the old steamer Isabel, so the Artisan was dropped down there and we ate. The next day the women named the spot Paradise Point, and we spent a happy 10 days there. Captain J. O'Brien and Pilot Moore wandered off up the North Pork trying to find Paradise Point. A friendly housewife a mile or bo up the river put them right, and they landed at the point without mishap. Captain O'Brien said when he passed the East Fork he thought it was a small trout stream. Besides Captain O'Brien and Operator Moore, the Niagara carried a "fair passenger list. One of them. Sissy by name, fell overboard late In the even ing while trying to go aboard, but after we held her before the big bonfire for an hour she fell asleep in our lap and forgot her troubles. Sissy, by the way, was the little English bull mascot. m On account of the shallow water at Paradise Pointy Commodore Boost or dered the pilot to land the Artisan bow on and stationed First Officer Chester Waters on the after-deck to heave the anchor overboard when the pilot gave the signal, so as to keep her from swinging with the tide. The signal was given and Chester heaved. He and can Johnston spent the next few hours grappling for the anchor. Chester now knows that the ring on the end of an anchor Is to tie a rope in. Levy Thornton, the 18-year-old son of Mr. Thornton, who owns Paradise Point, Is the owner of a fine new mo- torboat. In recognition of the many courtesies extended to the club by the Thornton family in recent years, it was with a great deal of pleasure the club at the trustees' meeting last Wednes day evening made Levy an honorary member. George Kelly, trustee and straw boss I of the club, ran up against a limb of the law Wednesday evening while re turning home with a bottle concealed in a suitcase. The only thing that I saved George from a night in Jail was the fact the bottle contained gasoline. After trustees' meeting at the club. Commodore Boost was assisting Kelly RUSSELL.

JACK DEXPSEY, WHO KNOCKED OCT FRED FULTON IN IS 3-5 SECONDS. Here Is the fighting face and poise of Jack Dempsey, the latest sensation of the prixe ring and who can now lay claim to the heavy weight championship of the world by reason of Jess Willard's recent announcement of retirement. At Harrison, N. J., recently Dempsey knocked out the esteemed Fred Fulton In 18 3-5 seconds after the bell started them on their what was Intended for an eight-round bout. A rip-tearing fighter, he Is said to have the same qualities of Stanley Ketchel and Terrible Terry McGov rn combined. Fulton has offered no alibi or excuse for his quick and disastrous defeat. He speaks well of his conqueror's prowess and to date there has been no mention of a return bout. There will be a men's handicap golf tournament at Waverley this morning, according to an announcement by Chairman W. E. Pearson, of the handi cap committee. On account of the large number of Waverley Club members so journing at the various beaches and country resorts, it has been a difficult task to line players up for the different events scheduled at Waverley during the last couple of months. About Oc tober 1 there will be a heavy schedule of Fall tournaments announced. Play has been quite brisk on the Municipal course In Eastmoreland dur ing the last few weeks. According to Superintendent of Parks Keyser, the golfers are taking advantage of the new public links and are favorably im pressed with the condition of the fair way and greens. Golf clubs can be rented and balls purchased at the club house, and a green fee of 25 cents is all that bars anyone from playing on the recently completed nine-hole course.

Wafrkla-kum County is to have 25,000 cutthroat trout, according to letter received this week by Lew Fitcha, chairman of the Wahkiakum County Game Association, from State Fish Commissioner L. H. Darwin. These fish are peculiarly suited for the the latter after one of the hardest matches of the tournament. In his defeat in the semi-finals of the men's singles. Mercer, the Vancou ver star, never seemed to get started, and Russell romped through the match with everything his own way. Russell played his serve with deadly accuracy and scored numerous aces, and unlike his usual tactics, did not depend on his forehand drive to any great ex tent, most of his points being won on finely executed backhand placements. Women's Singles Exciting. In the women's events a great match was that between Mrs. Cushing and Mayme McDonald, the local star win ning in three sets. In the women's doubles Miss Liv ingstone and Mrs. Bragdon won handily from Miss Wheaton and Mrs. Cushing, the steadiness of the local team being the undoing of the visitors. The match was a three-set affair, the last and deciding set being 6-4. White and Wright, the juniors from east of the mountains, took Lawrence Brown and Waubrashek into camp In straight sets, the local team not play ing up to their usual standard. Phil Neer Loses Oat.

Women's golf events at the Tacoma Oountry Club have been abandoned for the remainder of the season and possibly until after the war. Women have been so busy with war work that they have had no time to devote to golf. While they realize the impor tance of recreation they are seeking it between times and have paid little at tention to out-of-door games. Because of this condition, Mrs. Will iam Jones, women's captain, has de cided to abandon the sport for this Summer, at least, and the handsome trophies which wene up for season play will be held at the club until the matches can be played off finally.
