THOUSANDS WATCH REVIEW Oregon Entrant G?ls Close Run When Second Honors Are Awarded to Miss Wagoner of Washington. Portland held her own in beauty in competition with fair bathers from all the northwest when Miss Pearl Keyes was declared the most attractive by the plaudits of the crowd which wit nessed the contest at Columbia beach yesterday. Miss Keyes is a new swimmer in local water circles and has been seen at the beaches but little. She says Oregon is her native state and she is a girl typi cal of the great out-of-doors. A de cided blonde, her figure and carriage spoke of life in the open that brings color to roses and girls. Twenty-two Rirls entered the con test, abou.t half of whom were Port landers. Miss Keyes was closely pressed for honors by Miss Bertie Wagoner, who had adopted Washing ton as her state, although a Portland woman. Third went to Mrs. Connie Meyer, who admittedly had the most attractive costume and was ably supplemented in her pose by her big bulldog "Brownie." who was as proud as his mistress of his big purple and gold costume. Judge las Buck to Crowd. The judges, consisting of the sport ing editors of the local newspapers, tossed up the sponge when it came to picking the winner and so put the job up to the crowd. Miss Washington gave Miss Oregon a close run, but Miss Keyes in an outrit of gold and pale green finally was declared the north west's most attractive bathing girl. J. M. Kieg, manager of Columbia Beach, stated before the contest that the winner would be sent to any sim ilar contest held anywhere in the United States as the representative of Oregon. Accordingly, Miss Keyes may be sent to Atlantic City as the most attractive girl of the northwest's "beaches, there to pose as the repre sentative of the state. Costumes, generally, were most mod est in comparison with what some peo ple had expected as representing the dif f eren t beaches of the country. Port land still has to see the shoulder-strapless bathing suit and similar nerve wracking affairs. Most of them would have been termed practical and yet attractive outfits for either sand or water. ThotiMnnd View Context. The 'Castle Cape" now the "thtng,, on the eastern beaches, was present. This accessory covers the more ex treme suits until the bather enters the water and is a tip that others will be quick to follow. The Broadway Novelty orchestra helped entertain the crowd of several thousand people that came to witness the annual affair. The parade feature, each girl riding in a big car. made the presentation novel and gave all the crowd an opportunity to judge of their favorite at close range. The youngest entrant in the contest was ruled out. The year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Rieg appeared in his own. idea of a costume and seemed to enjoy the occasion as much as any of the participants. SPLIT HEATS BOLE RAGES SIX MILKS REQUIRED TO CIDE 2:14 TROT.

Need of Right Sort of Exercise Emphasized by Former Ath letic Adviser at Yale. 19 NEW YORK, Aug. 2. (Special.) Walter Camp, for years chief athletic adviser at Yale, has a brand new idea. Walter wants to prevent folks from growing old. It sounds like a gigantic task the Yale man has cut out for himself but he is absolutely certain he can get away with it. so his plan is at least worth looking into '-for fear it might produce results. Camp declares that approaching age is always manifested first in the joints. Folks who eat heartily and are denied t least two hours of manual labor each day are bound to stiffen and weaken, but if they will take his plan and work it conscientiously they can ! cheat Father Time and prolong their lives. Camp declares with much emphasis that most people give themselves en tirely too much concern about exer cise. He advises strongly against this and points out that exercise is simple, providing nothing but exertion, and the human frame was made for a certain amount of exertion each day. One of his suggestions is to take ex ercise when indications are manifest that it is needed. For instance, when one rises from a chair they should not assist themselves to their feet, but rise with the assistance of the muscles of the trunk. If rising from a chair is painful, he advises that it be done sev eral times in succession- just to ac quaint the muscles of the back of the work they were intended to do. Camp's suggestions for exercise are so simple as to almost provoke a laugh, but to those who are experiencing the difficulties which he associates with approaching age, they should carry much weight, for few men in this coun try have given the matter of physical exercise so much thorough study as the Yale authority. Camp says he realizes that all people cannot be athletes, ou every person is obligated to preserve their health, and this is impossible un less they exercise every set of muscles in the body in some fashion or another. even though that fashion be in the some blmple movement not usually credited with value as an exercise. Sounding the Sport Reveille. N1 EXT season it is probable that the Poughkeepsie regatta on the Hud son will be rowed over a two-mile course instead of four miles, as before the war. It is said Princeton will be invited to the Thames (New London) course to join Harvard and Yale in their annual classic next year over a three-mile course. Alfred Schubb. the former great English distance runner, has gone to England and Scotland to engage in a series of "come back races. The Point Judith C.

J. - Mars Cassidy starts all the running horse races decided over New York and vicinity race tracks. English cyclists are hopeful that bi cycle races will be made part of the 1920 Olympic games at Antwerp. Ever since the 1896 revival of the Olympic games, the Marathon race has been a feature. It has been eliminated from next year's festival. a Rowing in four-oared gigs will be an innovation at Lake Champlain camp for boys. It will be a part of a week's sport festival, August 18 to 23, at the Junior Plattsburg camp. ANCESTORS BACKWOODSMEN Relatives of Heavyweight King Still Reside in West Virginia. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham pion of the world, although bom in Manassa, Colo., sprang from the purest type of West Virginia mountaineer stock. The champion's grandfather, Ance Dempsey, was a pioneer settler of Logan county. The report, widely circulated, that Dempsey was born near Williamson, W. Va., is incorrect. It is slightly over a quarter of a century since H. I. Dempsey and the mother of the new champion left their old home at Wil liamson. Jack was born about a year after his parents arrived in the west. The old Dempsey homestead in the mountains near Williamson is located only a short distance from the abode of "Devil" Ance Hatfield, wh,o gained widespread notoriety dur'ng the Hat- fteld-McCoy feud. Although there are still many close relatives of the Dempsey family resid ing in that vicinity, the present cham pion never has visited them. Both Dempsey's father and grand father were farmers and woodsmen and are remembered by old residents of Williamson as fearless mountaineers who stood high in a community where courage was demanded of all. At the present time there are two uncles and several cousins of the champion residing In Mingo county. One of the latter is Mrs. W. O. Potter, wife of the. mayor of Williamson.

Swimming Coach Declares Speed Gained as Resistance From Water Is Lessened. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. (Special.) Dick Dungan, the swimming eoach at Camp Yosemite and holder of the five world's professional records, thinks that the new trudgeon crawl stroke ia going to be the fast style of the future. Dungan himself swims the pure Ameri can crawl and with this stroke has cov ered, under official timing, 50 yards in 24 seconds, 100 yards in 57 seconds, 220 yards in 2:39 and 100 yards back stroke in 1:11 2-5. In spite of the fact that his style is distinctly opposed to the new method Dungan thinks that the trudgeon crawl will replace the crawl as the prevailing style in competitive swimming in the future. "The new trudgeon crawl," said Dungan, "seems at first glance to be a step backward in swimming evolution That is, the crawl style has been called the ultimate style in competitive swim ming because it eliminates all possible resistance to the water while swim ming. "That is, the scissor kick, which was the distinguishing feature of the trudgeon as opposed to the craw stroke, has been done away with, and the simple up-and-down thrash has been substituted. This means that the resistance which the opening of the legs in the scissors kick caused is done away with in the narrow scope thrash or the crawl. "However, it seems that the scissors kick still has its place in speed swim ming. The scissor need not have more than a 20-inch scope in the new stroke, and this kick is effected with great dispatch, the opening and closing of the legs taking less time than the swimmer uses in getting his breath.' JIMMY HILL PROMISING BOXER AUMi anan r eatberweiglit C onies to Americu for Bouts. NEW YORK, Aug. 2. (Special.) Some unusual boxers have broken into the limelight during the past few years. but Jimmy Hill, the Australian feather weight, who came to this country cently for the purpose of clashing with Champion Johnny Kilbane, seems to be the most considerate of all ringmen who have enjoyed the limelight America for many years. Hill whipped everything in the Antip odes in the feather class, so he packed his duds and shipped to this country when he landed in California Hill wa flushed with the prospect of battling for the crown but his aspirations were punctured when .he learned that Cham pion Kilbane had lost one of his little daughters through illness. Hill hooked up with Tim Sullivan the man who brought Les Darcy here He told Sullivan to go out and get him some matches. Then Hill cautioned Sullivan to keep all challenges away from Kilbane because the champion was feeling depressed over the loss his child. "I want to fight for the featherweight title." said Hill, "but am not going to be the first one to draw the champion into a ring after he has suffered such a loss as the death a daughter."
