Rdw' oar M Greatest UJmv Parade- for. fr 5S? The opportunity ha been given to Fcan the probabie entries for the na tional singles championship, which will bp?m August -5, on the courts of the West Pide Tennis club of New York. It seems fair to say that the winner of the event may reasonably be called the world's champion this year. A eleim of the world's champion ship is nor. to be made lightly, but in this instance there is much more than gossip in support of the idea. The British championship at "Wimble don has long held an enviable place among the world's premier tennis events, which was one reason for the int-ernational tennis federation proposing- to give the tournament on grass to England In perpetuity. That the contest at Forest Hills may succeed to the place held by Wimble don in this year's tennis can be assumed from th-e fact that Wimbledon's win ners are to play here against ranking American players who were unable to compete in Kngland. A. K. F. Champion to Enter. Canvassing the tennis records for the last few we-eks. it appears that Watson W. Washburn and Dean Mathey, who played in the military tournaments abroad, will be at the west cide to bid for honors. Washburn is the A. E. F. champion, so there is one large class which will be represented. Andre Gobert is admittedly the Strongest continental player and while be won some of the French events in which Americans were entered, he lost at Wimbledon along with Max Deougis, ko that leaves the winner of that tournament as representing the best that Europe can offer. Roumania, Belgium and South Africa were represented in various events preceeded by the English championship and as none of their players came through it. it can be said that they have had their chance at the title. So far as Canada is concern-ed, the winner of their championship will be at Forest Hills in the person of Seiichiro Kashio, who won that event a couple of weeks aero. S outh America players are also expected to compete and Japan will be represented. Australian Also on Lint Oerald L. Patterson, who won the Knglish championships and then de feated Norman E. Brookes in the chal lenge round, both Australians, can be said in all fairness, therefore, to rep resent the best tennis ability of Eng land, the Continent and Australia. To defend the title the L'nit-ed States offers a field of worthy representa tives. Roberty Lindley Murray, the champion: William M. Johnston and It. Nor r is Williams, his immediate pre decessors as holders of the title, and William T. Tilden, who was runner up last year, are among the names that come first to the mind. Then the rank ing list contributes a quota of players who must not be overlook-ed in any discussion of possibilities. Charles S. Garland of Pittsburg w-ent to the semi finals at Wimbledon and will bear watihinc at Forest Hills, along with Washburn and Mathey. Other Player Considered. S. Howard Voshell has been up and down this season, but any one with his tennis experience cannot b-e ignored. Ola rence J. "Peck" Griffon and Willis K. Davis are dangerous players at any time, and Wa!rr Merrill Hall and Fred erick li. Alexand-er are well toward the top of the list this season. ' Nat M. Niles is another player of experience and Wallace F. Johnston of Ph iladel phia has been playing remarkably well this year. Nothing has been said thus far of Fchyia Kumagae, who has played bet ter ten n is this season than any other time of his career. Whether he will do as well on grass as he did on dirt is a question. There is still anoth-er man to be named Maurice K. McLoughlin. Mc Laughlin left San Francisco for New York July 31 to prepare for the na tional championship. How far he oan go toward the championship is some thing that experienced judges of tennis form in the east refuse to discuss until they see him in action. Critics in California say he has modi fied his game, something of the sever ity having gone from his service and more attention being devoted to ground atrok-os. Vincent Richards, the young ster is also rated high. With such a field assured there can be no uncertainty as to the caliber of the man who comes through. He will be a real champion. : . ; - . i- -m. ir 31 w r 1 1 f : irw n u t-y . i 10 VfAtS AGO SCHOOL Me- sot ( START IN ((( Hone- u Tow'. .

But by sheer slugging, timely hittine" and the right of conquest, Rogrer Peckinpaugh held down the job for many weeks and still remains one of the most dangerous mallet manipulators in the American circuit. Feck has always been a determined, quitless ball-tosser. In the field he has been consistent but not a league leader, because he g-oes after impossible chances and makes unnecessary errors to help his team. At the bat his poltng percentage has, until this year, been very moaest. Last season he hit for .231, while .260 was his mark in 1917. Hut the way he has assaulted the old horse-skin this year has been a sensation. Flirting- with the .400 mark, he led the league for many weeks until displaced by Joe Jackson early in July. Jackson subsequently fell before the onrushingr Tyrus. Right now Peck is no easy mark for opposing- slab artists. He is in fourth place, with an average of .337, only 16 points behind Cobb, and showing his heels to such clouters as Speaker, Lewis, Ruth and Hooper. As captain of the Yankees he has instilled the entire aggregation with a spirit of fighting loyalty. In talking with individual players, giving them every opportunity to knock, you hear that the club is behind 1'eckinpaugh to a man. They are proud of him and boast how the fans in every city are his friends. of thx KvrywKZE& The Tanks have gone through the proverbial slump since evacuating first place, but are still dangerous candidates for final honors. Peck is by far the best batter on the club and perhaps the hardest player in the lineup. He attributes his great batting im provement to a change in position at the plate. By faring the pitcher more directly he takes a swing that is freer and quicker, and when he hits it he hikes for first base, no matter where it goes. "Run 'em out" are his instructions, and that Includes foul tips. Peck is a native and citizen of Cleveland, with which club he made his debut in 1909. After being farmed out to New Haven, he joined Portland in 1311, assisting McCredie in annexing the Coast league pennant. "I was only on the coast one season, Peck remarked to me in a hotel lobby recently, "but 1 will never forget poor old Hap Hogan. We were having a hot series with his Vernon club, and 1 was unusually lucky with the stick. Hap was a great josher. but my timely hits got his goat. 'You never get a hit anywhere else in the league but here," he kept bawling at me. "Finally when I came up in the pinch. Hap was catching. With one run needed in the ninth, I had two strikes and three balls. Hap asked me to straighten out his mask with my bat. I fell for his trap. In a flash a swift one grooved the plate, the upra. called strike three, and the game was lost." Copyright. 1919 by Christy Walsh. Chess. Multnomah Club Notes. E. H. BRYANT. Editor.

SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 2. For her versatility as a swimmer, many fol lowers of the sport have accorded to Mrs. Frances Cowells Schroth the place among women that has been accorded among men to Norman Ross, that of being the best all-round performer of her sex. In a recent meet held here Mrs. Schroth won every event In which she entered. Their diversity may be judged from the fact that they included 220 and 500-yard swims and the 50 and 100 yard back stroke events. She holds records in the free style short dashes and also is a winner of the annual one mile grind across the Golden Gate, con sidered one of the most exhausting and difficult of the local waters to negoti ate.

C, for the international re&atta to be held in that city on August 16, unde the auspices of th-e Vancouver Rowing club, to compete with the entries of Vancouver, Victoria and Puget soun cities. The local four-oared crew will be composed of A. Stevens, stroke; Ted Holmes, No. 2; L. H. Mills, No. 3 and Jack McDonald, bow. Miiis and Stevens are former college crew men, the former having been a. member of the Harvard varsity eight and Stevens having rowed under the Cornell colors. James Havely and William Gregory will form the Jocal club's doubles crew, and A. Pfaender. former captain of the local club and former holder of the singles championship of the as sociation, will attempt a come-back in the singles. The races will be held in Indian river park in the north arm of Vancouver harbor, where the association cham pionships have been decided several times. In addition to the three rowing events, special swimming and canoe raoes will be staged. m m m Dr. Cathey recently sold the run about Spray to Captain Thomas Dut son.

An trust nromises not only to be a. big1 month in tennis circles in the east, with, the national championships scheduled, but will come in for a banner session in the northwest also, with three big tour naments on the bills. The first will be the northwest cham pionships in Tacoma, starting August 4 nd last ins: a week. The northwest championships will be followed by the Washington state titular meet in Se attle the week of August 11. and the climax of the year will be reached at the international tournament in Seatt.e on August 18. 19 and 20. The latter oumament will mark the first time that the international affair has been, held since the start of the war in 1914. The best of Canada's racquet wield- ers will compete with the pick of the northwestern stars for a number of handsome trophies and the intern a- tional titles. Portland will not be represented by arge numbers at any of the three com ing tournaments, but what will be lacking in numbers will be mad up for in a measure by excellent playing. It is found impossible by a number of Portland's beet tennis players to make the trip north, which is to be regretted, as no doubt they would acquit them selves with honor. Catlin Wo If ard. 1919 Oregon state tennis champion, who recently returned, from California, is expected to go to the beach with his wife for a rest after heavy season on the courts after a. lapse of playing for a year while in the navy. Those who are planning to make the trip to participate in the northwest championships in Tacoma next week are Phil Neer. northwest junior cham pion; Kenneth Smith. Miss Irene Camp bell, Miss Stella Fording and Mrs, W. I. Northup. All but Neer will likely re main on the sound and attend the Washington state tournament, with sev eral other Portland stars joining them for the state event in Seattle. It ts the present plan of the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic club and Irv- ington club to send full teams to com pete in the international tournament, which will take place during the week after the Washington state champion ships. Both clubs will come to some decision on the plan this week. The winning team In the doubles event at the Northwest championsh ipa will have the honor of representing this section of the country at the na tional doubles championship in Boston, starting August 11. Phil Xeer. northwest junion cham pion and the tennis sensation of the , year, will leave for New York about August 11 to compete in the national junior singles championship. He will be accompanied by Walter A. Goss. vet eran tennis star and northwest sectional delegate of the United States Lawn Tennis association. The following titles will be contested for on the West Side Tennis club courts in New York, com mencing August 25: Men's national sijigles. veterans national singles, fa ther and son's doubles, junior singles and doubles and boys' singles and doubles. It will require more than the wrath of Jupiter Pluvius to interfere with the Washington state tournament this year. The event takes place on the Lake Washington courts of the Seattle Ten nis club the week of August 11. Three cement courts, in place of the three clay courts at the north end of the grounds, are the latest wrinkle in pre-tournamen t arrangements. Not h -ing less than & cloudburst will now be able to interfere with the match play, where heretofore the slightest drizzle was the high sign to call off all compe tition. It did not require much rain to put the clay courts out of condition. Should the hard courts prove as popu lar in Seattle as they have here and in San Francisco the other three courts to the south end of the Seattle club's grounds will also be converted into cement affairs, the grounds committee having in view the prolonging of the all too short Seattle tennis season. Clay courts would permit play far into the fall and even into the winter months. Strange as it may seem, there is not a real live tennis club in San Fran cisco, a city in which perhaps more real tennis players have been turned out than any other city in the country. There are many courts in all the city parks, but there is not a real tennia club to be found, a fact which is being lamented in that city. The California club has its own courts, but its activity is limited, and the Olympie club has a tennis branch, which has been doing little for the advancement of the sport. The old Golden Gate Tennis club, which probably turned out more tennis cham pions and developed more players than any other institution of its kind in the world, has almost ceased to exist, ow ing to the heavy inroads of the war. the dissatisfaction of certain member and the organization of an offspring club. Nic Arte, the 1919 trapshooting cham pion of Texas came back and won the title this year after a layoff from the game of seven years, which is quite some record. 64 says the Good Judge "And remember it, too.,?
