The most Important thin? In con
nection with the visit of young Fields
1.- some dope on the far western div
insr meet, for which, i'ortland swim-n,:r-
circles long have been waiting.
Mrs. Constance Meyer and Helen
Hicks of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club were contestants in the
far western swimming and diving
championships at Neptune beach. Ala
meda, on July 3 and 4. The results
of the diving were announced as Miss
Aileen Alien of the "Los Angeles Ath
letic club, first In diving; Mrs. Meyer
second, two-tenths of a point behind
Miss Allen, and Helen Hicks third.
.Mrs. Meyer lost her diving title to
Miss Allen in 191$. the national meet
being set ahead and Mrs. Meyer be
ing caught quite unprepared lost, al
though it was said in the south that
had she been in condition she would
have won.
Miss Allen then held the title and.
although Multnomah club staged the
national meet in 191S. Miss Allen
would not Journey north, giving as
her excuse that she was 111. Portland
fans naturally took an unusual
amount of interest In the far western
meet this year, for it was understood
that Miss Payne and Mrs. Meyer both
would compete and Los Anirelrs had
piepared Miss Allen to meet the na
tional champion and the former cham
pion. So the outcome of the diving.
while disappointing, was not wholly a
surprise, but that the score should be
o close caused a good deal of spec
ulation. After the meet Mrs. Meyer congrat
ulated Miss Allen and after promis
ing to "get" her next year asked the
Judges If she might have one of the
-.opies of the score sheets used in the
meet. This was granted and Mrs.
.Meyer brought them home for her
scrap book. O. J. Hosford. chairman
of swimming at Multnomah club,
asked Mrs. Meyer if he might see the
diving sheets that she hiid brought
home, as he would like to see how
both Miss Allen and herself had been
marked by the judges, who, by the
way, are national authorities on div
ing. This Mrs. Meyer gladly did and
w hile perusing the score Hosford dis
covered on the sheets a mistake in
multiplication of two points in favor
of Miss Allen. This would make Mrs.
Meyer the winner by six-tenths of a
point.
Hosford then placed the matter be
fore officials of the Multnomah club,
who immediately took It up with the
amateur athletic union officials in
San Francisco. The matter has been
cone over thoroughly and It is known
that the mistake was not intentional,
but Just the kind of a mistake that
anvone might make.
The fact that the Judge, whose
sheet was in error. Is one of the best
known Instructors in the country and
wholly impartial to either of the
divers, clears him of any suspicion
r intentional wronk. In the meantime
me medals for the meet have not
been awarded and the Multnomah
club officials have bidden their time,
knowing that the original score
rheets would have to be forwarded
to San Francisco from the head office
ol tne athletic union.
It was not until Fields blew Into
town yesterday, bringing word that
he had met Miss AlUn on the streets
of Una Angeles the day before he left
for i'ortland. and that she had told
him that in . visiting Portland he
mould see the far western diving
champion, and went Into detail with
him about how she had really lost
Instead of won the meet.
While no word has been received
officially by O. J. Hosford. the fact
that Fields knew about the matter
causes him to expect official an
nouncement of the outcome shortly.
The young girl swimmers are com
ing to the front by leaps and bounds.
Miss Thelma Finn. 16-year-old swim
mer of the Los Angelas Athletic club,
in a recent swim with Dorothy Burns
at 1 yards, finished a close second,
making the century in 1:13. This is
unusually f.ist time for a new-comer
and Miss Burns, by the way. Is the
world's outdoor recordist at this dis
tance. Helen Wainwright, 11-year-old c

BILLIARD TEST IS
XKW YORK TOl'KXAMKXT OF
FKKS FOOD FOIt TIIOIGHT.
Carefully Pluyed "System" Will Be
Compared With Brilliant
but Flashy" Styles.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4. For those who
make a deep study of the billiard
game, there Is much food for thought
and refection in the coming tourna
ment tor the national championship
to be held at the Astor hotel ballroom
October 20.
In the first place, the tournament
should show to some extent the ad
vantages and disadvantages of two
widely different general styles of play
the carefully played "systems" and
the sometimes erratic but none the
less brilliant styles. While the style
of each player differs greatly from
that of every other one. It Is still
safe to say that certain of them work
"toward a consistent, regular acquisi
tion of points rather than to depend
on flashes of speed to reach the cov
eted goal. The opposite Is true of
others who depend more generally
on brilliant spurts to put them over
the line.
There also should be a worth while
contest between the players of the
older school Sutton, Slosson and i
Morninestar. and those who follow
the teachings of the younger experts
Schaefer. Cochran and Yamada. with
Hoppe as the medium between the
two. The never-ending dispute as to
the comparative ability of the oldtim
ers. Schaefer, Ives, Vignaux and Cas
signol. can. of course, have no set
tlement now. and yet there will be
plenty of opportunity for those who
have seen the old masters to compare
them with the new in the coming
tournament.

MANAGERS STICK IX TEXAS
Xot Likely to Be a Change on Any

if any, changes in the managerial
roster of the Texas league are in
prospect for 1920. Although the pres
ent season brought several new team
leaaers into the field, the list of direc
tors as it appears now will stand for
next year.
So far the only talk of a managerial
shake-up that has developed comes
from Galveston. Bob Tarleton. It Is
said, will be succeeded by someone
else when the clubs begin their cam
paign of preparation next spring.
Billy Smith already has signed for
another season. Al Bridwell will be re
tained at Houston. Jakey Atz' job at
Fort Worth is as long as he wants it,
Mike Finn probably will be tendered
another contract in spite of the fact
that he has done little or nothing
with the Aces, and Ham Patterson
will continue to own and manage the
Marines.
Doc White may continue as owner
and team director of the Waco Navi

Joe Mathes has been so successful

may retire from the playing end of
the game, for it has been clearly dem

of this season, couldn't hold up both

HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 4. (Spe

to having found Billy Sunday,
the baseball prodigy, and when S. J.
Mitchell, a staff writer for the Hous

the party of newspaper men attend

association, he abandoned his fellows
for a day to come here and visit the
ranch of Mr. Sunday, now the inter
nationally known evangelist.
Mr. Mitchell, who says he was one
of Rev. William A. Sunday's first ad
mirers and press agents, having writ
ten baseball dope about him a quarter
of a century ago, writes as follows,
in his Houston paper, about his visit
here:

WINGED T SMOKER SET
BIG
STAG EVENT ANNOUNCED
FOR OCTOBER 16.
Boxing and Wrestling Bouls Are
Planned as Featur? Club Bil
liard Tourney In Full Swing.
Paul Dickinson, chairman of the
entertainment committee of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club, an
nounced yesterday that the big club
smoker will be held on the night of
October 16. The smoker is the big
stag event of the year, and Frank E.
Harman, chairman of the boxing and
wrestling committee, and Eddie
O'Connell, instructor of boxing and
wrestling, have been busy lining up
the best mitt and mat talent that can
be obtained for the occasion.
Besides the boxing and wrestling
there will also be a clever pro
gramme. Frank E. Harmar Is arranging for
an inter-club meet with the Spokane
Athletic club, to be held in Spokane
October 15. It will be the first of a
series of matches between the two
clubs for the championship.
One of the big events in boxing and
wrestling circles here this year will
be the tournament to be held In the
club gym on Thanksgiving eve, when
the Olympic club, Spokane Athletic
club, Vancouver and the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club participate In
a boxing and wrestling meet.
The intermediate billiard tourna
ment at the Multnomah club Is now in
full swing and enthusiasts are watch
ing the results with a great deal of
Interest.
Rolla Gray, who has made the
highest run so far, 16, suffered a de
feat last week at the hands of
George Kennedy. Thirty-one games
have been played so far, leaving 24
more to complete the tournament. At
the close of the billiard tournament
the "star" pool turnament to decide
the club championship will be held.
Manv of the best players who fre
quent the club's billiard-room will
compete, and some brilliant playing
is expected.
Registrations for the fencing
classes which will be started later in
the season are already being made
with Temporary Chairman Jan . Kool
and Instructor Mauthe. Those who
wish to enter and get the preliminary
practice before the opening of the
season may leave their names with
one of these men.
Saber fencing will also be taken up
this year, the fencers having had foil
fencing before.
The Inter-club fencing contest will
take place in March. This Is the first
of its kind, but in all probability it
will become a permanent institution
with the club. A silver cup will be
given to the winner of the contest.

within thp walls of Navin field this
season. Coach Duffy has been ask
ing for suggestions from many per
sons for a nickname, but the best one
of all seemed to be "Tigers."
With so many other large univer
sities having adopted various names,
it was difficult to secure a nickname
without stealing one that was used
by another. The Detroiters have been
referred to quite frequently as th
Red and White, which colors have
been born by the university of Detroit
athletic teams for many years. But
after a session scanning all names
suggested, it was finally decided that
the Jefferson-avenue contingent would
be known in the future as the uni
versity of Detroit Tigers.

education. Including the men who
are turning out for Intercollegiate

grand total of 1478 men taking this
work, in one form or another.
Of this number, by far the greatest
majority are freshmen, there being
750 of the new class, which is over
half of the total. There are ;trn
sophomores and the upper classmen
and vocationals, who are classed to
gether in gymnasium work, number
250. Besides this, there are S.0 fresh
men turning out for football, and IS
for the varsity team.
Other Clae Offered.
Besides the work offered in foot
ball there are regular classes In
wrestling, boxing, cross-countrv. soc-
1 ter and gymnasium work. Of tliet-e
different varieties of physical exer
cise boxing leads In the contest clas-i
with 213 men signed up. wrestling is
next with 174, uross-coiititi-y follow
ing with 138 and soccer with 70. Seven
hundred and fifty-five have signed up
to take the regular gymnasium vvoiii.
which consists of work on the paral
lel bars, rings, gym horses and setting-up

Plenty of equipment is on hand to
take care of the men interested in
boxing, there being a large number of
pairs of gloves which were used by
the men during the S. A. T. C. at the
college last year.
More Equipment .Needed.
At the present time there is only
one wrestling mat on the floor, but
efforts are being made to get addi

it Is likely that there will be two new
mats within the next week or two.
Professor Arbuthnot, who is wrestling
coach at the college, will oversee the.
work In this department.
With the number of men who are
enrolled. It is taxing the capacity ol'
the large gymnasimu to take care of
them. Lack of lockers for the dressing-rooms
is the most serious, and
every locker in the place is being
used by two men, and in some cases
more than that. Every man is re
quired to put in two hours each week
In whatever line he has signed up
for.
