YACHT CUPS NOT ALL GUPS SOME ARE SALVERS AJD SOME TEA SERVICES. Circumstances Said to Be Mitigat : Ing in Life of Racer by Wife of Famous Captain. NEW YORK, June 19. One of the mitigating circumstances in the life of a yacht racer and prodigiously suc cessful trophy hunter is the fact that not every cup is a cup. At least that is the opinion of Mrs. Burton, "associate" skipper of Sir Thomas Upton's America's cud con tender. Shamrock IV, who is here to help her husband, -Captain W. M. Burton, try for the trophy which has reposed west of the Atlantic since lh05. Her paradoxical sounding opin ion was utterea very seriously. "Happily some of them are salvers, ta services and what not," she said. 'imagine the housewifely task of polishing something like a thousand cups or embossed silver." Having the cups is very fine, Mrs. Burton says, but the real Joy of th thing is the race. Since her mar riage, Mrs. Burton has not missed ; race with her husband, who declares tie d as soon sail a race without his topsail as leave his wife behind. Mrs. Burton was reticient as to the precise sea duties of aa associate skipper. "I stand in the companlonway just beyond tne wneel and 1 always knoA' that everything is coming out all right and that we are going: to win, he finally explained. She said she never suffered from nervousness and never, never dreamed of making suggestions to her husband t Z d,lstrctfn 5!" ' irom trie minutiae of nts outlet i tion as helmsman. "There could be nothing- more out I of place on a racing- yacht than an excitable, unstrung woman. I am al ways perfectly calm and confident . and enjoy it thoroughly. "During- my first experience in ! yacht sailing I used to get a bit per turbed and wrought up and I sup pose there will never again be any thing so thrilling as the first one of all, when we raced an old-fashioned seven-ton affair but that was long ago." Mrs. Burton has full confidence in the speed of the latest Shamrock, which is unlike any yacht that has ever sailed for the America's trophy. "It is not in the least like any other yacht that was ever made," she admitted, "but my husband and I bo- I lieve it is invincible and we count i on winning that coveted mug this time." RUTH DRAWS HUGE CROWDS Polo Ground Records Fall When Long Hits Are Made. "Biggest" crowds and longest hits by Babe Ruth are becoming common at the Polo Grounds. The attendance at the afternoon game May 31 was 38,688, which Is 88 more than the turnstiles rang up two weeks ago when the Cleveland Indians were the attraction In a Sunday game. The Washington club was paid for nearly 50,000 persons on the same day, the morning attendance being 10,463. This is a record for any one day at the Polo Grounds. Boston still holds the record for a single day's attend ance, however, the Giants playing to 75,000 persons in morning and after noon games at Fenway park against the Braves on Labor day. 1914. U. S. TENUIS HATES HIGH JOHNSTON CROWNED GREAT EST PLAYER IN WORLD. British Ratings Award America Four Places Among First Few Living Experts. NEW YORK, June 19 William M. Johnstone, the national lawn tennis champion, is now crowned as the greatest player In the world. For the first time since the begin ning of the war a world ranking of players has been established in Lon don. It has been the work of A. Wailis Meyers, the famous English expert. He gives the United States four places in the top ten, with Johnston at the tip top. William T. Tilden 2d is No. 4; R. Norris Williams 2. No. 7, and Willis E. Davis, No. 9. The fact that the team of Ameri can players in quest of the Davis cup includes three of the players supports the selections made by the interna tional committee of this country. As the list stands it is as follows: No. 1 William M. Johnston. United States. No. 3 Gerald L.. Paterson. Australia. No. 3 Andre H. "3obert. France. No. 4 William T. Tilden 2d. United States. No. S Norman E. Brookes. Australia. No. 6 Algernon It. F. Kingscote. Great Britain. No. 7 R. Norris Williams 2d, United States. No. 8 P. M. Davson. Great Britain. No. 9 Willis E. Davis, United States. No. 10 W. H. L,auretz. France. The honors accorded the United States and especially its significance. Irom an international standpoint, is appreciated by the officers of the United States Lawn Tennis associa tion. Julian S. Myrick. its president, has addressed to the Right Hon. Lord Desbrough of Taplow, president of the British association, a letter which sets forth the keen satisfaction of the lawn tennis lovers of this country in send ing such a representative group of players to the championships at Wim bledon and the international contests for the cup. In the letter to Lord Desbrough it is made plain that the decision to send its team abroad was based upon the immense amount of traveling that would have been required if the United States had requested preliminary ties to be played here. Mr. Myrick then writes. "Of far greater significance in the discusisons that led to our decision was our belief both in the important influence of international tennis upon the sport itself and the service that the players of the United States might be able to render the game at present by doing everything within their power to stimulate international com petition." NOTED MERMAID IS HERE MRS. RUTH STACKER TO MAKE PORTLAND HER HOME. Special Aqnatic Stories Will Be Written for The Oregonlan by ex-Honolulu Maid. Portland's colony of world-famous swimmers and divers was reinforced this week by the arrival of Mrs. Ruth Stacker. Honolulu, who will make Portland her home and will swim for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club. The Oregonlan is pleased to an nounce the addition of this youthful water nymph to its staff of writers. Mrs. Stacker will write of swimming and aquatic topics for The Oregonlan during the coming summer. In 1912, as a mere child, Mrs. Stacker set a new world's mark in the 30-yard dash, 17 1-5 seconds, in match race with Terie Desch, then holder of the American record, and Mrs. Stacker's world's record still stands despite the efforts that have been made at various times by Miss Frances Cowells, Dorothy Burns and others to shatter it. Mrs. Stacker also established world's record of 31 seconds for the 50-yard dash in 1913, but this rec ord since has been broken by Fannie Durack, the famous Australian mer maid. Mrs. Stacker also has held the American championship for the quar ter mile, 6:44. Soon after the war broke out Mrs. Stacker entered the service of th United States navy and is credited with naving Deen tne iirst woman athletic director in the navy. Sh was stationed at the Mare Island navy-yard, San Francisco, where sh had charge of the athletics for th yeomanettes. English Grant Tennis Danger. English opinion of the chances of American tennis players who will compete in the championship at Wim bledon and in the Davis cup ties on the same courts in July is more favor able to their success In the latter than in the former event. Regarding the results of the American invasion aa they may affect Gerald Patterson s hold upon the singles championship, a consensus of tho views of leading London tennis critics is as follows: "American invaders, no, even Mc Loughlin. i.ave never given quite of their best at Wirrbledon. One is not at all disposed to predict an American-Austrian challenge round fought out in England.. The Davis or In ( cup is far more likely to go to Arner- MEMBERS OF PORTLAND HUNT RflOGEBS RETAINS HELM LEWIS MOREING SETS AT REST ALL SENATOR RCMORS. Club Owner Lets Critics Know He Means to Run His Gang to Suit Himself Alone. SACRAMENTO, Cal., June J 9. "Raw Meat" Bill Rodgers is to remain skipper of the Senators. Lewis Mure In? has spoken. If Sacramento isn't satisfied with Moreing and the manner in which Moreing is running the club, Sacra mento can say so and the Moreings will sell out. That's the sum and substance of the defl flung in the face of criticism directed against the Senators and everyone connected with the club. Moreing isn't going to be toid how to run his ball club. He has made that plain. If Sacramento baseball fans believed that Rodgers erred, Moreing is goingr to stand behind him, nd if the chatter gets any hotter. will quit the game and sell to inter ests more agreeable to the tastes of the cash customers. Them's harsh sentiments, Gertie, ut Lewis Moreing is not to be swerved. And while Moreing is on the ubject of Rodgers and his pilot's sys tem of running the club, several other rumors are set to rest. Bill Rodgers is going to be the man ager of the club, rnd nothing in the past has shaken his standing in the mind of Moreing. Walter Mails is not oing to be traded for a Seattle bat boy, neither is Marty McGaffigan go ing, to the Siwashes in exchange for ill Kenworthy, nor is Pete Compton to be traded to the Seals for Joe Con- olly and $1000. All these rumors scattered to the four winds among fandom during the past two weeks re all wrong. Secondly, the Senators are progress ing very well in the eyes of Morelns. He says there irs only a few games between the cellar club and the first place team In the league. and the fans and press have very little to do when they comment on what has hap pened both on the field and in the ransactions put through by the board of strategy" of the club. More ing says he does not wish to be told anything at all about his team, and when the people show they do not wish to support Iho club then he will ell It to some other city that does. The deal in which Merlin Kopp be came the property of Sacramento in xchange to the Seattle club for Roxy Middleton and Bill Stumof is upheld by Moreing in the following state ment: "Wo traded the two players tor itopp and the people have no rea on to complain. It is our business what we do, and we don t have to have the public pass on deals which we think are for the best interest of he cluo. Kopp Is the fastest man in this league, and the best flv chaser. Stumpf was thrown into the deal sim ply because we were anticipating his release within a short time before he was tradod. Middleton would not make our team or any teajn of the league the man Kopp would, and without Stumpf we could not have completed a trade." Taeoma Clnb to Play Aberdeen. ABERDEEN. Wash., June 19.

FEAR MUST BE MASTERED TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM Ruth Stacker Explains How to Go About Learning Strokes After Confidence in Water Has Been Gained. BY RUTH STACKER. I D OWN In the Hawaiian Islands 1 everyone swims with ease and grace of movement. Little black- skinned tads are taught to swim al most as soon as they learn to walk. Else such world-champs as Kahana moku, Kruger, Lane and Sunha would never have been developed. And swimming- is no longer consid ered an art. Like walking, it is a natural activity. and one which should be mastered. Portland affords everyone an op portunity to learn to swim, with natatorlums, public school tanks, clubs and the river. It is the little shaver in trunks today who will take part in the Olympic games four years hence, and his stroke should be watched and developed now. Fear is the biggest obstacle in the way of a beginner, so in this, the first of a series of six lessons on swim ming, let us learn to master fear and gain that confidence necessary even before the first strokes are taken. First: In water, not above the shoulders, take a deep breath through the nose. Duck the head and shoul ders under water and exhale through the mouth. Do this until it becomes easy and natural. Second: Do aa above, but open the eyes and look at the fingers, or at some object under water. This- will not in any way injure tne eyes or make them smart. It is well to take the water in and out of the mouth without swallowing. When sufficient confidence has WILL WRITE FOR THE OREGONLAN. V !7T 'a-' - MRS.

The riders are. left been gained, take hold of the edge of ", " r BomB sort, resting lightly with both hands. i arms outstretched. Relax perfectly and let the feet come to the surface. The head rules the position In the water. By throwing the head slightly forward the feet will rise to the sur face, and by throwing- it back, they will again sink. Do not bend the knees. ' Slowly start kicking the feet up and down, alternating. This movement is from the hips, not from the knees and up and down. Be sure that every muscle is relaxed and let the ankle have full play. The arm stroke is a simple one and may be' practiced on land before try ing in the water. Bend from the waist, to give the body a horizontal position. Striking from the chest, reach forward (fin gers closed, palms down) and down towards the knee, drawing the arm back to first position. Make this a circular movement .and not one of angles. Alternate with both arms. Do this with both arms until the movement becomes natural before entering the water. To put the strokes together, stand several feet - from some stationary object to whlc you intend to swim. Reach out, starting the rrm stroke. The feet will naturally rise, and kick just aa you did in practice. The main thing is to keep your head. Take a slow, easy stroke and pull hard. Keep the arms under the water. The next lesson will be to develop this stroke into the crawl stroke. HER HOME IN PORTLAND AND HUNT WINS SALEM CLIMB PORTLAND MAX IS VICTOR IX MOTORCYCLE EVENT.

The Belgian Olvmnie frames committee is en deavoring to arrange for special trains, bearing spectators, to steam along the banks of the Brussels mari time canal during the progress of the rowing events of the seventh Olym piad. While the contour of the lands about Trois Fontaines, the village se lected as the starting point, .and at Marley, the finish, provides some thing of a natural amphitheater for spectators, the committees would like to utlllre railway tracks for observa tion trains similar to those run at the Poughkeepsle and New London re gatta in America. The rowing events. r"l 2000-meter races, are to be held August 27 to August 29 and will include single sculls, double sculled boats without coxwain. pair-oared boats with cox- wain, four-oared boats and eight oared boats with coxwain. All the boats are to have outriggers. That part of the canal selected for the race is about eight kilometers from Antwerp and there is very little current.

WOMEN'S TITLES WANTED California and Washington to Come After Honors Here Xeit Month. Whether or not Oregon tennis play ers will redeem themselves in the coming state championships to be played on the courts of the Irvington club, the week of July 12-17. is the question that Is foremost in the minds of local followers of the racquet game. Last year players from Cali fornia and Seattle took more than their share of the title matches. Two of the state championships are held by Portland players. Catlin Wolfard of tne Irvington club being the proud possessor of the singles title and paired with Henry Stevens of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, he also holds the doubles title. Wolfard won the singles champion ship by defeating Marshall Allen, the sensational University of Washington star. In the finals. Nothing has been heard from Allen in regard to his en try in the tournament, but it is al most certain that he will be on hand to compete. Doubles Champs Practice. Wolfard and Stevens won the doubles title when they beat Harry S. Gray and George J. Jaynes. The champion and his partner- have not played together in any tournaments to date, but they can be seen on the Multnomah courts most any morn ing practicing and getting themselves into the. best possible condition to de fend their laurels. The two local champions will be furnished with some lively competi tion with the announcement that six of California's best men will make the trip north and try for state honors. In the singles Wolfard will be called on to meet such stars as Carl Gardner, twice ranked among the first 10 players in the United States, Rob ert Kinsey. . Roland Roberts, Cali fornia state title-holder and winner In many southern tournaments, and Willis Davis, former clay court cham pion. Most of these players are cer tain of being present and the only ob stacle in the path of their present plans is the arranging of their busi ness affairs. Southern Stars Eipecled. The men s doubles Is an event which promises to show plenty of competition. The Kinsey brothers, holders of the Bear state doubles championship are expected to come north and play, but as yet nothing definite in regard to their plans has been announced. Peck Griffin, well known California racquet wielder, and Willis Davis will pair up in the doubles here. This team Is experienced and should prove to be a thorn in the side of many aspirants to the doubles championship. The entries in the women's events Is causing quite a hit of Interest and doubles titles are held by outsiders. Oregon women this year intend to make a determined effort to bring the honors back to the Beaver state. Women's Title in Sesttle. Miss Mayme McDonald, state sin gles champion, is a resident of Seattle and it was this city that she was rep resenting In winning her title. In the finals last year she defeated Mrs. J C. Cushing of Berkeley, Cal. Paired with Mrs. Cushing, Miss McDonald is the joint holder of the women's doubles championship, winning this title by defeating the Portland stars. Mrs. W. I.. Northrup and Miss Stella Fording, In the finals of last year's tournament. Two California players hold the mixed doubles honors. Elmer Griffin and Mrs. Cushing. This title was fought for between Seattle and Cali fornia racquet wielders, with the southern players coming out victorl ous. Miss Mayme McDonald and Will Taylor played for the Sound city team. Among the most prominent of the local stars who will enter the men's events, besides the two champions are Walter A. Goss, former state cham pion, James Mackie, Harry Gray, who, with George Jaynes. was runner-up in the doubles last year. Max Wood, Colonel John Leader, A. D. Wakeman. T. Morris Dunne, A. D. Norris, Ted Steffen, lnterscholastic champion, and Dr. J. B. Bilderback. Veteran Staices Comeback. All of these players have been on the courts the greater part of this season and are playig a great game. The veteran Goss is playing in fine form this year and should put up a good game in the big classic He was the runner-up in the annual spring handicap tournament of 'the Multno mah club held on the Winged M courts last month. The annual spring handicap tour nament of the Irvington Tennis club has not as yet gotten under way, but Catlin Wolfard, who is in charge, ex pects to have it started the first part of the week. The first obstacle In Wolfard's plans was the use of the courts of the east side club for the boys and junior center championships, but now that this is over and the weather Is clearing up. Wolfard doesn't think that anything else will Interfere with his staging the tour nament this week. Most of the players who will enter the state tournament are members of Irvington and will compete in the handicap event. The board of trustees of the Mult nomah club has given up its plans of building two new courts at the north end of the present string. The cost of this Improvement can not be met now by the club so no work will be done on them for the time being. Just now the site of the new courts is be ing' occupied by the stables for the Shriners nig-ht horse show. . s The finals in the girls' lnterschol astic championship still remain to be played off and Mr. Harrigan. who was In charge of the tournament, an nounced that the only way this could be settled was for the qualified play ers to arrange with him to have the title determined. Sports of All Sorts. The outsider has no Idea of what this year's chase of the America's cup is costing Sir Thomas LIpton. The cost of bringing over a trial yacht for test races with the challenger Shamrock is a big item in itself. That, however, is only small considered alongside other items. For instance. Sir Tom has chartered the ocean-going yacht victoria at cold S1000 per day. Then he also has an ocean tug at $500 a day and be has chartered a houseboat for his various crews to live In. There are 150 men on the pay roll of Sir Thomas right now in New York. Besides this the Englishman yachtsman also "feeds" all these men and is going to enter tain lavishly on the Victoria during the races. Figure out all these items and multiply them by four months and you will find & nice little bill. That Japan will have a phenomi naliy strong duet of tennis players in the Olympic games contests is as sured. Ichl Kumagie. one of the highest ranking players in this coun try, will represent the orient and he will be joined at Antwerp by Zeno Schmituz. the present champion of Japan and India. He was a real sen sation of the world's hard court title events in Paris last month and was defeated by Goubert. the Frenchman, in the final. Gaston Vidal, president of the French Sporting federation. Is of the opinion that the athletes of France will give a better account of them selves at Antwerp than in any for mer Olympic games. California trapshooters made a re markable showing in the compilation of men who have shot in 500 tourna ments. Frank Troeh of Vancouver, Wash., heads the list with an aver age of 96.83 per cent. Eleven Cali fornia shooters are included in the big average men. while Washington. Nevada, Arizona each have one man high up, including Troeh, who heads the list for the entire country. Norman Ross, the world's swim ming champion, will not be a com petitor in the coast Olympic games trials at the Neptune beach, Alameda tank, June 26. but has decided to re turn to Chicago and compete in the trials there. However, Duke Kahana mokue, Ludy Langor. Stubby Kruger and other world famous swimmers will compete in the trials at Neptune. Teams from Portland, Or.. Salt Lake and California will be on hand to give the Hawaiian swimmers nlcnt of competition. GOUEGE TENNIS AWAKENS NEWCOMERS IN STUDENT GAME HELP COMPETITION. 1920 Tournament Attracts New Schools That Have Never Previously Entered. Interest in the intercollegiate tennis championship exceeds anything noted in previous years for, with the event not due to begin until June 28. several colleges have already forwarded en tries. The significant fact is the number of newcomers In the Inter collegiate tennis world, this being due to the efforts of the committee, which includes Watson Washburn. Dean Mathey. Charles S. Garland, R. Lind- ley Murray and Richard N. Williams 2d. They have been corresponding with the tennis organizations of many colleges throughout the country and the response to their activity shows an evident desire to share in the ac tivities of the Intercollegiate associa tion. For years it ran along with Tale. Harvard.

Bunk, a collie dog which has served as mascot for the baseball, football and basketball teams at the New York state agricultural college, has disap peared from the campus at Farming dale, and the entire student body of the Institution has been, plunged in gloom. Bunk belonged to Fred Walker, director of all branches of athletics indulged in by the Aggies, and was a familiar figure at all events carry ing the entry of an Aggie team. The dog strayed away or was stolen and dilligent search of the countryside adjacent to Farmingdale has failed to bring to light any clew to his whereabouts. It is believed by Walk er that the animal was stolen, as he was not in the habit of leaving the campus. Besides he is so well known to the residents of Farmingdale that were he merely lost he no doubt would soon have been picked up.
