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.

1
HV. 1919
NEW YORK, Aui. . fppfeial.) By richt of tradition, custom and all the usages of
baseball royalty, Ty Cobb is back dangling the scepter of superiority. 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."

WOM.VX EXPERT IX WATER
Mrs. Schroth Is Admitted Peer of
All Her Sex.
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. In this contest she was opposed
by the best long-distance women swim
mers on th coast.

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

and the organization of an offspring
