THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX,' PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 22, 1918.' 3 CHICAGO CARRIES OFF SENIOR EVENT Athletic Association Runs Away With Meet, Scoring Total of 49 Points. FIVE-MILE RECORD GOES Charles Pores Lowers National Sfark Held by Himself, Covering Long ' Distance' In 24:3 4-5i . For-' zner Time Was 25:23 S-5. GREAT LAKES, 111, Sept. 21. West ern athletes made a clean sweep in the senior championships of the National A. A- V. outdoor track and field games at the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta tion today, completely iwamplng the Lastern entries. The Chicago Athletic Association team, which won the junior honors yesterday, carried off the seniors with a total of 49 points. The Great Lakes team bagged 31 points for second place, and the Illinois Athletic Club 25 for third place. The best .the East could do was the per formance of the Pelham Bay Naval Station team, which tied Camp Fre mont, Col., for fourth place with 11 points. The Royal Air Force, of To ronto, OnL. was next in the list of point winners with 9. Fifteen other teams divided the rest of the points. Lieutenant Matt McGrath. of the New Tork police "force, partly redeemed the showing of the Eastern teams by land ing the highest individual scoring honors. McGrath, competing unattached because of the decision of New Tork clubs to abandon competitive athletics until the end of the war, scored 10 points, with victories In the 66-pound weight and hammer throw. McGrath won the hammer event with a heave of 173 feet. 1114 inches, and hurled the 66-pound weight 35 feet. 9 inches. Compared with the Junior games yes terday, which developed close competi tion until the last event, the perform ances today were mediocre. Only one record was shattered. This was in the five-mile run. which Charles Pores, of Pelham Bay, the National "champion, won in 34:36 4-5. beating his old mark of 25:23 3-5. made at Sc. Louis a year ago. Pores triumphed over Earl John son, the Baltimore negro, now stationed at Camp Upton, who won the Junior five-mile yesterday.

COURT ALWAYS COVERED Californlan Plays Every Ball and Is Rarely "Accd," So That Onl Points He Loses Are Result of HIs'Oivn Mistake. R. Lyndley Murray, the new national tennis champion is one who upholds the Californlan tradition of "Jazz" as an essential for athletes of any kind. It was Maury McLoughlin in 1912 and 1913 who startled the East with his whirlwind play on the courts and made "California" synonimous with "tennis." They called McLoughlin the "Comet" and he was well named, for never had the game seen such an as sortment of smashes and drives as that with which McLoughlin overwhelmed the crack players of the Atlantic coast. . The experts frowned and said such a style of play was impossible,, too replete with errors and therefore not scientific. But their estimate of the "Comet" was consumed in the '. bril liance of .his play. Fighting Game Played. Lynn Murray, the new. chamnion, plays that same hard fighting game that marked the work of McLoughlin. His service is not as severe as the for mer champion, it Is not as unplayable as that of Strachan or Cliff Herd, but coming from a left-handed player it Is most bewildering. His strokes are not In themselves the equal of such an artist as Williams or Mel Long, and many of the Parrets and Dohertys who write on the scientific side of the game would criticize his foot work as faulty and ill-timed. Where lies the secret of Murray's wonderful record? A close analysis of the matches in which Murray has figured since he en tered tournament- competition will show that he has rarely been "aced." He plays every balL The points he loses are only on his own errors. He Is a wonderful court coverer, probably the best in the game today. He plays at top speed all the time. He has the spirit that will not admit defeat. Champion Is Popular. There is no champion more popular than Lynn Murray, as his sportsman ship is known wherever tennis is played Taking up tennis as a side line seven 'or eight years ago at Stan ford University, he played as second singles man In 1911, ranked about equal to Morgan, the varsity captain of 1912 and began' his tournament ca reer in 1913. His rise has been rapid and his regular training for the. half mile has stood him in good stead. It takes a great spirit and a powerful physique to stand up under the strain of tennis as Xynn Murray plays it. When Murray is playing every muscle of his body is concentrated in the stroke and under perfect control. GAME NOT CONSERVED MLXXESOTA LAGS IX PROTECTION OF WILD LIFE, IT IS SAID. i Sportsmen, However, Are Now Taking Greater Interest In Propagation and In Preservation Measures. The wild game of west-central Min nesota is limited mostly to wild ducks and prairie chickens. The many small lakes and outlying marshy sloughs are ideal places for ducks, and large num bers nest here every summer, which affords good hunting at the opening of the hunting season before the north ern ducks arrive. While prairie chick ens are not as common as the wild duck, they will doubtless become more abundant In the future. Foxes and small predacious animals are a seri ous drawback to the. natural increase of game birds In this section and some effective means is bound to be takes) to reduce this destruction. At present little is being done along the line of game conservation on the part of the hunters, although a senti ment along this line is growing which is. hoped may result in a united ef fort to -Improve the natural conditions and aid in the propagation of wild game. However, the state game de partment Is doing a great work throughout the state towards the In crease an protection of the game, and game refuges are being established which will mean much to the hunter in years to come. Gefese and brant are seen here in fair numbers In the spring, and it is probable that game reserves and better protection may In duce them to remain here for a while during the Fall hunting season. Practically all the lakes In 'this state are well stocked with the best varieties of fish and considerable at- MURRAY PLAYS HARD FOOTBALL TEAM, OF FIRST PROVISIONAL REGIMENT, WHICH ... .... MEEHAN-DEMPSEY BATTLE IS SIGNAL FOR MANY DISPUTES More Than 9000 Fight Fans Witness Bout and Receipt Total $17,000vv . Swimming Golden Gate Commonplace Affair.- ; s AJJ FRANCISCO, Sept. 19. inot since the old days when we had ZO-round fights and championship matches has there been so-much talk, so many disputes and such an after math as- what followed the Meehan Dempsey battle' of last week. The fans, are not yet done, talking about it and they are not likely to fin ish up in a hurry. Of course, the un expectedness of it all, together with, a decision that has been commended in certain quarters and challenged in others has been responsible for all the excitement. - Nobody expected Meehan to win. As a matter of fact, they were betting 10 to 8 that he wouldn't last the limit. And so, it was all the mr a surprise; all the greater a sensation. Eddie Graney handed down the de cision -and to my way of thinking it was the only thing to do. I reckoned that the first round was fairly even. The second must be given to Dempsey, who scored a knockdown, while ' the third and fourth unquestionably figure for Sailor Willie, the Phat One. And if that doesn't spell a win then I miss my guess. . ls experts were somewhat divided. Bu t-whereas -a majority picked Meehan as (he rightful winner nobody thought Dempsey entitled to any more than draw. . This Is how the San Francisco papers hsd it doped: Meehan decision a good one Chron Icle, Examiner and Daily News. Draw Call-Post and The Bulletin. Graney, criticised In certain quarters for his fuling, chiefly by people who said it was a shame to rob Dempsey of his reputation and all at a benefit con lest, has seen fit to answer. Eddie pauses to remark that sent! ment can't cut any figure where there is a- decision to be awarded and then goes on to say that. Meehan, in the service of Uncle Sam, is Just as much entitled to consideration as Dempsey who was donating services but figures to make a lot of money for himself Just the same. ' V ' Eddie is quite right. That's no argu ment at all. The' Dempsey alibi and the one for which Dempsey must he given a hear ing is that he had a bad left hand. In a bout with Terry Keller about two weeks before he came here, Dempsey broke a small bone in his hand. He refused to offer that as an excuse prior to the fight.. When he appeared for the match it was noticed his hand was ttghtly taped with bicycle tape. It is strictly against local police ' regulations but when it was explained why this had been done and since Meehan withdrew his own ob jections. Captain of Police Dan O'Brien said there would be no protests. Graney, hearing of this, suggested to Kearns that it would be as well to have a no-declsion bout; that he thought it would protect Dempsey's in terests far more. But Kearns insisted. "We must have a decision," he de clared. "That was the agreement and we want to go through with it." , So the decision had to be given. Now there's no gainsaying the fact that this; decision hurts Dempsey. Graney Is ai referee of National standing. When he gives an official ruling of the sort the fight fans are going to Jay some atten tion to it. l It will damage Dempsey in the big houses he was hoping to draw. Most of all, it's going to stop his demanding a match with Jess Willard. The cham pion can say (and with a lot of argu ment) that Dempsey must get a repu tation; must beat Meehan before he as pires to the title. Naturally if Dempsey was to be pro claimed as champion Meehan is now the holder. But in spite of all the talk Willard is regarded as champion of the world even though a non- fighting champion and somebody will have to beat him to be considered next in line. Dempsey didn't stay long after the match: He was booked for a ten round bout in Reno Saturday "night and left early in the morning. Evident ly he wasn't feeling mild tempered for Moran, the unknown heavyweight who faced him, was knocked out as you have been told in 70 seconds, or little more than a minute.. . Also. I have it on good authority. tentlon is being given to replenishing the supply. Fishing, like hunting, is a popular sport in this section, and one s almost certain of a good catch at the proper season. HCXT MAY LEAVE WASHINGTON University - Coach. Receives Offer From Vancouver Army Post. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 21. (Spe cial.) Coach Hunt, of the University of Washington, may take "the position as athletic director of the Vancouver (Wash.) post. The Seattle mentor has received an offer to teach athletics at the camp, and he has "-not yet acted - upon the' matter. He will wait until word is re ceived from the War Department by Dr. Suzxallo, president of the univer " " ..... ............ Kearns sent out wires' to Eastern sport, ing editors from Reno, advising them that he had been robbed and -declaring- the San Francisco papers, one and all, stood by him. ' - But that's not going to get Kearns anywhere' or anything. He still has a remarkably good scrapper In Dempsey. I am rather inclined ,to the. opinion that In a long-distance battle say 20 rounds Dempsey would beat Meehan. But that's neither here nor there so far as the benefit number was con cerned. ' i '-. The attendance and the enthusiasm were rather surprising. There were 9000 spectators in the house and the receipts were Just $25 shy of $17,000. There were no speeches" allowed and no donations asked. At the time of the Leonard benefit show, there were dona tions to the tune of $4000 so the crowd the other evening was Just about the same size. i . The funds will be used for the pur chase of athletic equipment for naval organizations and to a certain extent for the Army. Jimmy Cof froth be lieves the Navy should have the first call. Inasmuch as Camp Fremont got all of the Leonard benefit' funds and that is quite likely the disposition that will be made of it. ' When you Northerners who attended the Portland benefit show that Bobby Evans staged saw Knockout Kruvosky In action, you watched one lad who has beaten Meehan. Fact is. the last time these boys met, Kruvosky peat Meehan and to the minds of a lot of folks almost stopped Cute Willie. - Just about that time Aleehan had s divorce suit on tils hands. Further he was in bad condition from lack of training and really had some legitimate excuses to offer. ' . But what a tangle all this makes. Dempsey had been hailed by some as tile champion heavyweight, of the world. Along comes Meehan to .win a decision from Dempsey. And going back over the , past we recall that Kruvosky beat Meehan and quite recently Fighting Billy Mur ray, long ago consigned to the discard beat Murray. And so it might go on. There's apparently no clear right to the title anywhere along the line. Incidentally, you can thank Captain of, Police O'Brien for Having Kruvosky n Portland. The Kayo person had about decided that he wouldn't make the trip North.' Then you folks got busy with telegrams to the San Fran cisco police.' O'Brien busied himself, called Kruvosky into conference and the latter agreed that he would make the trip. Frankle Farren may be able to with stand punches In the ring but there are other things that get his goat. He had to take his "shot in the arm" on Mon day last. It was too much of a blow and the pride of all the lightweights keeled over. He was out for a full five minutes and even after he re gained consciousness was more or less shaky. 'First time I was ever out for so long," he remarked to the Navy sur geon. m m m Swimming the Golden Gate Is get ting to be quite a commonplace affair. The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club had its second annual swim of the gate last Sunday. Twenty of the members essayed the seven-eights mile swim across the bay and 18 of them finished. The test time was 31 minutes which is some six minutes lower than the time of last year and ten minutes behind the best performance established by Walter Pomeroy. One of the contestants was a chap named Cronln. Cronln Is 60 years old but that didn't bother him in the least. He used the breast stroke, and though he moved up and down like a. bobbin, he made progress and finished about in the middle of the bunch. - The annual DIpsea race, a cross country Marathon of about seven miles, is set for Sunday. September 29. The race is sponsored by the DIpsea-Indians an organization within the Olympic Club. It has been run for some 12 years-and Is a popular event. Indications are there will be in the neighborhood of 75 runners. Which will be a good showing, considering the war and all that. sity, regarding the football situation. Hunt will continue as Washington grid coach if -it is decided to play out the football schedule. Hunt believes that he will be given a commission should he accept the Van couver proposition. Joe Gnyon In" Service. Joe Guyon, one of the greatest half backs In America, is going to smash the lines ot the Huns Instead of those of rival football teams this fall, 'hav ing Just been commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the National Army, and will probably leave for France In the near future. Guyon's enlistment makes the 10th regular Tech player of last year's great Georgia Tech eleven that is now in the service, and when Coach Helsman assembles the gang this Fall the great machine will be but a shell of its former, self, IS GOING AFTER CHAMPIONSHIP. ;-... .. fWO CHAMPS SCORE 100 BRACE OF HIGHEST POSSIBLES MADE IX STATE TRAP SHOOTS.

Mrs. John H, Vail, of Los Angeles, CaX, has set a new world's record for king dolphin. The fish was taken on regulation tackle of the Tuna Club and weighed 31 pounds, being 5 V, pounds heavier than the previous fish taken J by Dr. r . C. Jfi. Mattison, of Pasa dena. Cal. Dr. Mattison was so proud of his record king dolphin, weighing 25hi pounds, which he took in 1911, that he offered a silver cup for the angler ex ceeding his record. Thj cup has been in the possession of the Tuna Club at Los Angeles for seven years. Mrs. Vail was 'angling from1 the launch Ethel, off Catalina Island, tost week when she made her record catch. She was trolling for marlin"swordfish at the time. The dolphin as subdued in 20 minutes. ,V Describing the hooktnat, playing Jid eaffinar of the fish. Mrs. Vail said: "Oh! it was a beautiful fish. It fought as hard as a 60-pound tuna, and made three complete leaps, showing gold, . purple, silver and many' other colors as he came out of .the water each time! ...-., "We were trolling for marlin sword fish and never thought about dolphin until it made a leap for the flying fish on the kite line and I hooked it.

STANDARD BREDS FAVORED Canadian Artillerymen Partial- to Trotters, While French Cavalry Officers Incline to Irish Hunting Types. ,J i . BT W. H. GOCHER. The American trotter Is the utility horse of the world. His even tempera ment, vigor, soundness,, courage and size equip him for any place where a horse can be used or for any emergency where a change of equipment must Be made at a moment's notice. The trot ter can do any kind of work on A farm. In the woods, on the road, race track or battle Held from whirling a limber into position on the firing line to carrying a General In a review. While the pasterns of the trotter may not be as long and springy as the gal loper's and their forehand may not suit the critical, as a horse the trotter is up to any weight and is as sure footed on a shell-torn field as any hunter that ever raced across country or took -timber in a steeple chase. In a recent interview a member of the French High Commission set forth how the farmers in France about 40 years ago began using trotting' stal lions to cross on their mares. After i0 years the cavalry officials decided that they . were not producing what the service demanded. These officials then took up the thoroughbred and fixed their standard on the lines of the IriRh hunter. Also in order to make-the change effective they offered liberal premiums at fairs for f6als that were by thoroughbred sires or out of thoroughbred mares. This was a clever way to bring the farmers over to their viewpoint, as if a breeder could not show at the fairs he was almqpt barred from the market. Furthermore anyone who is familiar with the trotting families of KrSnice could scarcely blame the cavalry of ficers for making the change. The Percheron was the first French trot ter and when M. W. Dunham began Importing tliem to the United States he laid special stress on their trotting records, although at that time the breed was being shifted from the track and road to the heavy harness of the draft horse. Major McKinnon, a field artilleryman In "the Canadian army since the be ginning of the war and a horseman of note,, wrote me from France last March that his command had a num-. ber of Canadian and American-breu trotting horses in the service and that in his opinion the trotting bred horse was very much superior to the thor oughbred for war purposes, the latter being too nervous and excitable. This testimony from the battlefield" speaks volumes for the trotter, while It Is also known that a horse from an estab lished breed is more desirable for any purpose and can be bred more uni formly than a half bred, which is very apt to be front end galloper and hind . end farmhorse, or vice versa. The thoroughbred horse is the sport ing horse of the world. The 'breed was established for racing and has been maintained for that purpose In En&jland and other countries since the days of Charles II, who was restored to the throne in 1660. Certain strains have at times thrown out -"sports" that have shown other qualities which were in tensified and developed by clever breeders who established saddlers. hunters, coachers and the trotter. Mes senger being the foundation stone in the , inheritance " of the last named. These "sports" csme from the thor oughbred-' family before the breed was thoroughly established and carried with them the characteristics of an ancestor whose form or way of going came to the surface after a lapse of years. The day, however, has gone by when a cross of thoroughbred blood can improve any of these families unless it is burled by top crosses of the breed with which it is blended. . Johnny Tillman in Army.
