SOUTH TO SEND MAHONEY
Multnomah Club Tank Will See
Many Cracks in Action for
Dippers' Honors.
BY HARRY EDDAS.
Junior diving- stars throughout the
country are preparing for the coming
Junior national diving championships,
wtiich will be staged in the Multno
mah Amateur Athletic club tank Sat
urday night, November 22. Many
out-of-town entrants are expected to
send in their entry blanks the cdm
1 week.
The Los Angeles Athletic club an
nounces the entrance of Eugene Ma
honey, one of the cleverest divers in
the country, as well as Eugene
Fields, who has long ranked as one
of the best in diving circles. Clyde
Swendson, of the Los Angeles Athletio
club Is the present champion, but witt
not be allowed to enter into this con
test. Swendson is without a doubt
one of the best divers in the game
today. He is Pacific coast spring
board and high diving champion, far
western champion, southern Califor
nia and 1918 national champion of
diving. Swendson will be entered In
the Pacific coast high diving cham
pionships that are being staged at
Neptune beach, Alameda, this after
noon. Eugene Fields was a Portland
visitor last week and Is one of the
best divers ever seen in Portland.
While here he staged an exhibition
along with Happy Kuehn, when they
happened to meet in the Portland
natatorlum. He will be main con
tender for the Junior title. Last year
he placed second in the Junior na
tional meet.
Eugene Mahoney Is a comer In the
diving world; He as yet holds no
titles, but is one of the most promis
ing of youthful divers. The Los An
geles Athletic club specializes in
divers. Vance Veith, swimming In
structor at the club, has turned out
a wonderful team of men divers, hav
ing Billy Williams, Clyde Swendson,
a national diving star; Eugene Fields,
Haig Priest and Eugene Mahoney.
There is a possibility of the Oak
land Athletic club sending up Walter
Mills to represent that club in the
diving. Mills holds the Pacific as
sociation diving title and last year
placed fourth in tbe national meet.
Since then Mills has developed won
derfully, so that today he is a dan
, gerous man in any diving meet, hav
ing studied the most difficult of the
dives that merit the highest number
of points. Irvin Wenger of the Oak
land Athletic club Is also a possible
entrant. Just whom the Olympic club
will send if an entrant comes at all
ts a mystery. Phil Patterson, one
of the best of the Winged O's divers,
placed third In the national meet last
year and would give the boys a run.
Defending the Multnomah club will
be Happy Kuehn, Pacific northwest
indoor and outdoor diving champion
and Oregon state champion. Happy
has long reigned over diving affairs
in this section of the country, and is
expected to carry off the national
championship, although he will hav
to go the limit In. doing to. He is at
present in intensive training and
showing wonderful form. I
Earl Smead will stage a 'comeback
In the diving game, having entered
the meet. Earl, a few years back,
was considered one of the country's
best divers, and at present will give
any of the boys a run when It comes
to the flips and flops.
Don Stryker, who for the past sev
eral years has been hard on the- heels
of Happy Kujhn in the diving con
tests in the northwest, also should
make a good showing, while little
George Richardson, the Juvenile div
ing star, will also be among those
out for the championship. George is
at present living in Corvallis, but has
assured the officials of the Multno
mah club that they can count on him
as a point-getter, and that he will
come up to the city sevei al weiks
before the meet to get the final
touches.
Along with the diving champion
ships several other events have been
scheduled. One of the features of the
meet will be a water polo game with
members of the Portland Rowing
club playing Multnomah. As most of
the members of the rowing club are
members of Multnomah, and the fact
that the amateur athletics rules
would bar competition for medals,
none will be awarded and no rules
will be broken in staking this event.
A relay race between rowing club
members and Multnomah members,
with events for Juniors and a night
gown ra.ee will make up a most In
teresting programme.
Had a bomb been dropped in the
swimming tank at the Multnomah
elub no mon consternation could
have been created than the announce
ment that the water popo team of the
Victoria Athletic club of Victoria
would g to San Francisco next
month for a series of games in the
southern city. Multnomah twice de
feated the northerners and has for
years been undisputed champion of
water polo in the northwest. Just
why they are not going south to take
part in the water polo games is the
cause of much discussion. George
Spalding of the Victoria club was in
San Francisco and bid for the Olym
pic club to come north to play the
Victoria team. Unable to do this, the
southerners then invited the Victor
ians south.
Chnrles Barton of the Los Antjeles
Athletic club is the most promising
young breast stroke star in the west.
He is at present holder of all Junior
western championships in this style
of swimming. Charlie is a recent ac
quisition to the Los Angeles club,
having been a member of the old
Piedmont club (now Oakland Ath
letic club). Charlie, when he is not
swimming, is playing in the movies
and will soon play in pictures with
Mary Pickford. On the speaking
stage he made a name for himself
with Maude Fulton.

DIAMOND PROFITS LARGE
MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS HAVE
BIG FINANCIAL YEAR.
Observers, on Sidelines Predict
Movement by Players Looking
Toward Blore Play.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. A critical
observer of baseball affairs says that
the season now closing has been a
remarkably prosperous one. There
are few major league teams that have
not made more money this year than
they have ever made, and reports
from the minor leagues indicate that
the revival of Interest in baseball has
been universal. This prosperity came
despite the foreboding of the short
sighted major league magnates, who
shortened the season and started to
retrench and pinch at the beginning.
Garry Herrmann, owner of the Cin
cinnati Reds and chairman of the Na
tional commission, was one of those
who favored the short schedule and
was particularly timorous at the start
of the season. After he became con
vinced of the interest in baseball and
found himself in posession of a
world's series contender, he used all
his influence to have the world's
series extended to nine games.
To some magnates this year's pros
perity will mean better players for
next season, if better players are to
be bought with money. To other
magnates it means just more money.
There is some ground for belief that
the players will demand increases
next year and that many of the spring
holdouts will be entirely on the level.
It would not be surprising if the
season of 1920 should be ushered in
with a strike of the downtrodden and
oppressed baseball players.

DOUBLES RATING ASKED
WOMEN TENNIS PLATERS
DE-
SIRE XT. S. RANKING.
National Classification Urged
Means of Rousing Greater
Interest in Game.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. There is a
strong movement among the tennis
players for a national ranking in the
doubles pairs. Such well-informed fol.
lowers of the women's game as Mrs.
David C. Mills, chairman of the Orange
club; Mrs. William H. Pritchard of
the New York Tennis club. Miss Ger
trude Adella Torre of the West Side
Tennis club and Miss Caroma Winn all
strongly favor the listing of at least
ten pairs in the ranking for women
for this season upon the courts.
"An effort has already been made to
interest the officers of the national
association in the establishment of a
doubles ranking for the women," eald
Miss della Torre. To some extent we
have been successful, as there is the
partial promise that, if we could name
more than ten doubles pairs that had
competed together in more than three
of the important tournaments of tbe
year, serious consideration would be,
accorded our request. That is a fair
consideration and I am quite sure the
list can be supplied.
"It is my belief that the ranking
of women's doubles will accomplish
more than anything else to secure the
serious attention of the players to
forming permanent partnerships. Of
course, at the present time a few of
the girls do remain together, as they
appreciate the true value of associ
ation and its building of concerted
team play. There is no real incentive,
however, and as the doubles now
stand most of the girls just take any
convenient partner."
The majority of the women at
Orange believe that the ranking of
the women has had a widespread ef
fect on developing their game in this
country. The singles ranking for
women was first established in 1913.
Approximately 30 women have been
ranked each season in the singles.
They have never been raniied in
doubles.
Those who are interesting them
selves In establishing the women's
doubles game upon a firmer founda
tion on the American courts point out
that the east can furnish a list of ten
.qualified pairs. .The west unquestion
ER THE COLORS OF THE LOS
ably Is in a position to add as many
more. The list has been compiled in
this section of the country and in
cludes some of the most famous com
petitors. It includes Mrs. Spencer
Fullerton Weaver and Mrs. Frank L.
Mallory, who have played in the na
tional championship. New York state,
Metropolitan, Ard.sley and Rockaway;
Miss della Torre and Miss Winn, who
have competed at Felham, Ardsley,
New York state. Metropolitan,- New
Jersey state and Rockaway; Miss
Helen Gilleaudeau has contested with
two partners. Miss Marie Wagner and
Miss Hellene Pollak. Then there are
Miss Marlon Zlndersteln and Miss
Eleanor Goss, Mrs. Edward V. Lynch
and Miss Edith B. Handy, Miss Scott
and Miss Coster, as well as a number
of others.
'CLIPPING NOT DONE IX WEST
Unfair Tactics Should Be Penalized
by Football Rnles.
It is a pretty safe wager that the
football rules committee will be com
pelled to take some action against
the practice of "clipping" on the grid
iron. There Is a movement on among
the colleges of the middle west, par
ticularly tnose who are members of
the Intercollegiate Conference asso
ciation, to have it Incorporated In the
rule book. Out west the practice is
tabooed, regarded as unsportsmanlike.
If there were more intersectional
games between the east and the west
there Is no question that this practice
would cause a great deal of trouble.
A. A. Stagg, the University of Chi
cago coach, is most bitter against the
practice. "The first time I saw the
practice employed," he says, "I could
hardly believe my eyes. It simply
isn't done out here, and I am surprised
that eastern coaches teach it and that
eastern college authorities permit a
play that is so low down mean. Any
body can knock. man off his feet by
diving into him from the rear. I
should like to see the football rules
committee take this thing up and put
a stop to it. It isn't football In any
sense."
There is at least one eastern coach
who protests regularly against this
practice. He is Foster Sanford. the
old Tale star, now the coach at Rut
gers college. The matn difficulty in
legislation against it is the fact that
other coaches permit and teach it. If
there could be a gentlemen's agree
ment it is likely that the practice
could be stopped.
Prominent Runner to Compete.
LONDON, Oct. 18. One of the Eng
lish runners expected to shine In the
Olympic games is A. G. Hill of the
London Polytechnic Harriers. the

NET RULE CHANGE LOOMS
AMATECR REGULATIONS tAY
BE REVISED IN V. S.
Tennis Authorities Wait on Action
of British Before Overhaul
ing American Standards.
NEW YORK, Saturday. Oct. 18. It
is practically certain that some im
portant changes will be offered as to
the amateur rule at the next meet
ing of the United States National
Lawn Tennis association. From time
to time various officials high In the
authority of the game of the courts
have admitted that the present rule
Is far from satisfactory. It is prob
able that the future part of the United
States in the world programme pro
posed by the international federation
will depend upon how this nation
meets the requirements of the organ
ization that Includes all of the other
nations which are devoted to the sport
of the courts.
There has been some quiet discus
sion on the subject. In England there
exists the opinion that the rule of the
federation Is somewhat too drastic
it is likely to be modified. Fortu
nately the annual meeting of the Eng
lish association comes early in De
cember, so that It will be possible, so
far as the United States is concerned,
to secure some adequate understand
ing as to what requirements are be
lieved to be necessary before this na
tion must take official action.
Five fundamental principles were
outlined three years ago at the time
an effort was made to establish a new
rule. It Is believed that certain of the
elements that caused that attempt to
meet with failure have since been
eliminated.
The principle as outlined by George
T. Adee. president of the National as
sociation, were as follows:
1. No player shall deliberately
capitalize his reputation.
2. No player shall receive travel
ing expenses for playing in tourna
ment, team match or exhibition, ex
cept from a club or association which
he represents. .
2. All team or exhibition matches
where gate receipts are charged shall
be under the strict supervision of the
executive committee.
4. Players engaged in the tennis
goods business, though not made pro.
feseionalB. shall, while - so engaged,
be Ineligible to compete in events
sanctioned by the U. S. N. L. T. A.

hole measures 28a yards.
Trapshooting Is Recognized
as Patriotic Sport.
Late War Showed Need of Rlfle
Edorated Persons Great Plans
Made 'for Itext Year.
TRAPSHOOTERS have always been
known for their patriotism, which
probably accounts for tbe fact that
the game Is called the patriotic
sport. Gunners throughout the United
States during tne war learned the art
of handling tne rifle in a more per
fect manner. Thousands of them en
tered the service, where their knowl
edge of guns served them in good
stead.
Right now, however, the trapshoot
ing season ts on the wane. From all
over the country comes word of clos
ings and great plans for the forthcom
Ing year. Unusual attendance rec
ords are reported by the secretaries
of the many gun clubs, which prom
ises more in the future. Some say
this year has been the greatest ever
known in the history of the sport.
That is most likely the truth, for the
war certainly taught America tie
need of rifle-educated persons. Pre
paredness now seems to be the key
note in every organization in the
Unjted States.
Rush Razee is doing the best to put
Curtis, Neb., on the map. He Is lead
ing the long string of professional
gunners in the monthly averages is
sued by the American association for
the second consecutive month, and as
long as he keeps about 98 per cent
he will be pretty close to the front.

fVIDRAN IS HERD IN C1NGY
FEAT IX LAXDFXG PEVXAXT
CONSIDERED UNUSUAL.
High-Class Pilots, Chosen After
Mature Deliberation, Failed
to Deliver Goods.
CIXCIXNATT, Oct. IS. rat Moran
deserves a lot of credit for bringing
a pennant and a world's title to Cin
cinnati. Of course, he is entitled to
the adulation that always goes to a
winner, but Pat's feat is an unusual
one. considering the number of high-
class pilots who have been at the helm
of Cincinnati teams in the past, all of
whom failed to please the Inhabitants
on the American Rhine. And Moran
made good on his first attempt.
Since 1876 the Cincinnati team has
been looked upon as a penal institu
tion by managers. All started their
tasks under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but one thing and another
caused their downfall and at the close
of each season fled patrons found
themselves In the same old spot
wisning ior a winning team.
Of all bosses who have worked at
Cincinnati Ewing held the fort for
five seasons. This Is a record. Among
others who are prominent in the game
who have tried and failed there the
names of Comiskey, Hanlon. Kelly,
Griffith, Tinker. Herzog, Mathewson.
McPhee. Loftus and Kock appear, and
they are all famous baseball generals.
Truly it may be said the Cincinnati
owners employed good talent to han
die the managerial ribbons. And an
interesting feature In connection with
the employment of these various man
agers. all save Moran. were consulted
and employed only after lengthy con
ferences over conditions In the salary
question. In each case the club owners
seemed to be picking their wav care
fully in the managerial field. But Pat
Moran was yanked from the Giants in
a hurry. Christy Mathewson was re
garded as manager, but there was
a chance Christy would not return
from France In time to take charere.
Immediately Christy's contract was
canceled and Moran picked off to
Doss the squad.
Strange as it may seem, the man
ager selected In a hurry was the only
one to give Cincinnati a winning club.
After a survey of the list of notables
who governed the Cincinnati club's
pennant flights, jt is little wonder
Porkville fans are wildly Jubilant over
fitch burg Pat. Certainly he is a mir
acle man.
Motordrome Rises in South.
Los Angeles ts to have a motor
drome and stands to seat 60.000 fans.
It is to be ready for racing February
22 and may lead to the construction
of other similar structures in Pacific
coast cities for automobile racing.

The fist game of the season in big-
time circles here will take place Sais
urday, the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic club eleven meeting Pacific uni
versity. Of course Pacific has not the

will give the fans a chance to form
a concrete opinion of this year's
wlnged-M squad. It being the first
time that they will have had the op
portunity to witness the clubmen in
action this season.
Just what kind of a team the TJ. S.
S. Wyoming has, which is scheduled
to play Multnomah here November t,

Conference Cast November 8.
November 8 will find the Portland
football followers being treated to
their first inter-varsity, or rather
northwest conference game of the
year, with the University of Oregon
team down to battle Washington
State college on Multnomah field. This
game will be one of the kingpin con
tests of the year in Pacific coast foot
ball circles and the outcome will be
watched with interest throughout the
country. It will be the first time in
several years that Washington State
college has played here. Both insti
tutions boast of strong combinations
this year.
As yet no game has been scheduled
here for November 13. The Multnomah
club team will journey down to Salem
to take on Willamette university and
unless the field is spoken for soon
will remain idle. Many of the fans
will attend the annual fracas between
the University of Oregon and O. A. C.

well that no big game is slated for
Portland on that date.

The Oregon Aggies will entertain
Washington State college on Novem
ber 22, making the second appearance
of the season here for the Fullman
Ites. The Thanksgiving-day (Novem

land after November 27. according to
the present line-up of events.
Whether or not any games will be
played in December by the Multno
