number "of Entrants at Annnal
Championships Is Assuming
Large Proportions.
BY ROSCOE PAWCETT,
Judging: from the reservation lists
forwarded to A. W. Givin. chairman
of. the accommodation committee of
the Vancouver (B. C.) Golf and Coun
try club, Portland -will be represented
at the Pacific northwest golf tourna
merit, July 6-10, by nearly 125 players
men and women.
Seattle Is sure to send at least an
equal number of entrants to Van
couver, and with Tacoma. Aberdeen,
Spokane, Butte, Victoria and the
home-grown Vancouver players to
draw from, it appears that the field
of entrants at the 20th annual cham
pionships of the Pacific northwest
section is to assume proportions
equal to a national or international
golf affair.
Fortunately the Vancouver Golf
and Country club officials have
grasped the magnitude of the task
and all three Vancouver courses
Vancouver, Shaughnessy and the
nine-hole Jericho links have been
requisitioned.
Three Course Requisitioned.
The first 36 holes of the open cham
pionship will be played at the Burna
by course of the Vancouver Golf and
Country club on Monday, July 5. The
second 36 holes will be played 18 at
Burnaby and 18 at Shaughnessy on
Tuesday. Thus three-quarters of the
open play will be at Burnaby and
one-quarter at Shaughnessy. The
amateur qualifying begins on Tues
day and this .will be split 60-50 be-
. tween the two courses.
The Jericho nine holes course en-
. ters the scheme on Wednesday. The
women's flights, from the second on,
will be played. Elimination rounds
. In all divisions will have progressed
so far by Thursday that there will
be no tournament congestion and all
remaining matches from Thursday on
will be played at Burnaby.
1. I Webster, who is handling the
reservations for the Waverley Coun
try club, estimates that there will be
between 80 and 100 players entered
at Vancouver from Waverley alone.
Walter Nash of the Portland Golf
.club has made reservations for 25 or
. 30 players from the Raleigh links,
and with the Tualatin Country club
adding its contingent the total of
Portland entries may reach 150
players. .

NORTH ATHLETES SHOW WEIili
Oregon Men Take Two Firsts, One
Second, and One Third.
The remark-able showing made by
northwest athletes in the far-west
Olympic games tryouts at Pasadena.
California, yesterday was surprising
considering the fast competition and
large entry list against which they
were competing. Two first places, a
second and third went to the Oregon
track and field men.
As was expected. Grant Swan, for
mer Oregon Agricultural college mller
at present competing under the colors
of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club, took the measure of "Peaky"
Sprott, California, in the mile run.
Swan, stepped the distance in 4:23 4-5.
William Kenneth Bartlett, of Esta
cada, one of the University of Oregon
football heroes, walked off with the
discus throw with a toss of 143 feet
3 inches. This was one of the sur
prises'of the meet, as the University
of Oregon athlete was not figured to
land the event, Gus Pope of the Uni
versity of Washington being doped as
the winner.
Arthur Tuck, the former Redmond
high school star and one of Bill Hay-
ward's proteges at the University of
Oregon, carried off second honors in
the javelin. Tuck must have had an
off day, as he has done better than
180 feet with the spear In previous
meets. His mark, which took second
yesterday, was 177 feet.
The other Oregon athlete to place
In the meet yesterday was Wlllard
Wells, Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club hurdler, who finished third in
the 440 hurdles.
At the mid-west tryouts held at
Chicago yesterday, the high jump was
won by Johnny Murphy, a Portland
boy. He attended Columbia univer
sity here, where he started In inter-
scholastic circles as an all-around
athlete. Last summer, while compet
ing for the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic club, he won the national high
jump title. Murphy is a freshman at

Horse Creek Closed to Fishing by
State Game Commission.
EUGENE. Or., June 26. (Special.)
Horse creek, a tributary of the Up
per McKenzie river, flowing into the
latter stream a short distance below
jvicivenzie Bridge, will be closed to
fishing July 15 until further orders,
according to an order just made by
tne game and nsh commission.
Horse creek is one of the most
" popular fishing streams in the upper
McKenzie river country, but as it is
the spawning grounds for trout and
as the number of fish being caught
in the stream is growing less every
year, the commision deemed it best
to close It for a number of seasons as
It has done in the case of a number
of smaller streams farther down the
McKenzie river.

Strange Game In France Ends With

Hank Gowdy. the Braves' catcher, is
redited with telling this on his re
turn from France: .
During a lull in one of the "quiet
ectors' of France spots where the
opposing troops only go through the
motions of warfare and give each
ther due notice when they are going
to drop any shells, a ball game was
tarted by American soldiers and was
watched with much interest by the
Germans In the hostile trenches.
In the seventh inning a German
megaphoned across the open space:
Better go under cover now a general
Is coming, and we must shoot some
thing!'
And the doughboys, as though
trained in a regular chorus, shouted
back: "All right shoot the umpire!'"

AMERICAN LEAGUE IN LEAD
Younger Organization Piles Up Big
Score in 192 0 Games.
NEW YORK, June 26. The Amer
ican league is far In the lead in the
higher scoring which is accompany
lng the heavy batting in both major
baseball leagues. The teams of the
younger league had rolled up a total
of 1546 runs to the National leagues
collection of 1329 In contests up to
June 6. when the American had
played 165 games and the National
166. Reduced to a game average, the
comparison was 9 1-3 runs to 8.
The American league outscored its
rival by nearly 100 runs in the first
month of the season and increased
this lead to more than . 200 in the
next three weeks. The famous l-to-0
pitchers' battles, of frequent occur
rence' in past years, have yet to take
place in the American league, while
the score has been hung up for
National league encounter only seven
times. A total of 33 shutout games
were pitched in the older league and
18 In the other.
The National league had a slight
edge on games In which less than nv
runs were scored, a comparison of 62
games to 49. In games with between
six and 10 runs, the Americans en
gaged in 59 and the Nationals in 72,
hlle in games with more than 10
runs, the Americans played 68 to the
Nationals' 42..

NEW YORK, June 26, Dave Ban

stops In the game. He Is 28 years old
and a native of Sioux City, la. He
began his baseball career with th
Duluth club of the Mlnnesota-Wls
consin league in 1909. Later that
season he was sent to the Superio
club of the same league.
When the league disbanded at th
close of the 1911 season, Bancroft
caught on with the Portland club of
the Pacific Coast league, where h
remained until the close of the 1914
season, when be was bought by the
Phillies. The following spring he
clinched a berth as regular shortstop
of the Quaker City team and neve
relinquished thar berth until hi
transfer to the Giants.
He was one of the most impo tr
over the Gearhart course, although the
matter of the purchase of some prop
erty nearer Astoria was also discussed
at the first meeting. Three or four
residents of Astoria have promised to
provide the money and form a holding
company should the club decide to
carry out the project.
An effort will be made to obtain
100 members during the next month.
The club at present numbers about 60.

AMERICAN PLAYERS OF GOLF
ASK NO ODDS FROM ANYBODY
British Open May Be Added This Year to List of Victories Chances
Good, With Two Dependable Men in Contest.
BY FRANCIS OUIMET.
izteen years ago ' waiter
Travis startled the golfing world
' by winning the British amateur
title at Sandwich. His victory was a
stunning shock to the British, who
had considered themselves invincible
in so far as golf was concerned up
to that time. It was beyond their un
derstanding that an American one
coming from a land in which golf was
comparatively new could upset them
In a game which was centuries old
with them.
Five years later Jerry Travers, then
at the top of his fame, crossed the at-
lantic to repeat the feat of Travis.
But Jerry was unable to keep up his
fine work and as a result of this was
put out early in the tournament. Then
we had a few other Invasions or Eng
land by American golfers, particu
larly those of the late Fred Herres-
hoff and Chick Evans. In fact, the
next serious attempt 'was that made
by the latter In 1912. Chick was de
feated in the fifth round by an Aus
tralian named Bruce Pearce. But as
the match went an extra hole the
English were compelled to admit that
we had not been Idle in the matter
of coming to the fore in golf.
English Golfers Get Surprise.
The big surprise to English golfers
followed . in 1913 when Heinrich
Schmidt, never an American cham
pion, entered the lists for the BrltisL
amateur. Schmidt was not consid
ered in the advance dope, but he
threw a great scare into England
when he came through to the finals,
eoing down to defeat at the bands
of Harold Hilton In another extra
hole match, after apparently having
a comfortable victory tucked in his
bag.
In the meantime. In 1912, to be ax
act. John McDermott had made his
first attack on the British open. But
he failed to make even a fair show
ing. Evidently disturbed by this,
McDermott was on hand in 1913 at
Hovlake for another attempt. That
week McDermott went like the winds,
for even Harry Vardffi admitted
afterward that McDerijun had a
t splendid chance to win until the lasc
j. I lew holes or play.
in 1914 a real American invasion
was launched, but it proved to be the
worst sort of a false alarm. I re
call the facts of that year particularly
well, as I happened to be a member
of the American team which, except
ing Chick Evans, failed so dismally
That has been the history of our
attempts at British title down to the
present, when Bob Gardner made his
gallant fight and when we look for
ward with such strong hopes to the
play of Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes
in the British open. That they have
chance Is freely admitted by Brit
ish golfers, especially since their fine
play to date. But Vardon says the
odds each confronts are at least eight
to one, the odds that any one crack
in particular faces in such a meeting,
whether native or foreign.
Job May Prove Difficult.
The defeat of Mitchell and George
Duncan in a four-ball contest at Deal
not long ago has awakened the Eng
lish to the fact that in defeating
Hagen and Barnes for their title they
have a job of greatest difficulty. As
this was staged for a good sized
purse, the proof is before everyone
that these two Yankee entries possess
that rarest of all golf qualities the
competitive souL 1 am sure that
Gardner's showing will give our two
representatives added confidence and
the keenest sort of a desire to win.
Surely they now know that the Brit
ish are not Impregnable on their own
links.
I have set all this down for the
purpose of proving my own belief
to the effect that we have advanced
so far and so rapidly in golf in Amer
ica that we do not needs odds from
the players of any nation. All in all
this looks like a great American year
and here's hoping we add the British
open title to our list of performances.
We can look forward with much
satisfaction to this affair. No better
.critic or player lives than Vardon.
and he has already stated that Hagen
not only plays as -well as any man
living but that he realizes the great
opportunity awaiting him. And Barnes
comes In for almost like praise from
this veteran.' So our chances look
mighty good when we realize that
we have two such dependable men

CRICKET INVASION COMING
English Cluh Has List of Eight Fix
tures Arranged.
NEW YORK. June 26. New York
cricketers will have two opportunities
to play against the team of the In
cognltl Cricket club of England, com
ing here In September, according to
the list of eight fixtures submitted
to the -tourists oy tne associated
Cricket clubs of Philadelphia, the or
ganization which is carrying on the
negotiations with the Britishers.
Included in the list are a couple of
three-day matches against all-Philadelphia
elevens and four more against
the leading clubs of the Quaker city
Individually. An all-New York team,
to be picked by the New York and
New Jersey Cricket association, will
encounter the visitors on September
to the surface, but remember to keep
them under the water. Relax the
whole body, holding ofr at arm a
length from the edge of the tank or
raft as the case may be. In a move
ment from the hips (this is impor
tant), keep the legs quite close to-
t-otVior and let tbe ankles flop. Ac
cent, that is kick down a little harder Vy
at every third kick, making the mo- ' f
tion rhythmic.
The arm stroke is like any other j-
arm stroke. Practice on land before
trvlnir in the water. Bend over so v
that the arms are in horizontal po
sition. Reach out. curving the arms
slightly inward, palms down and
fingers closed, so that the tips of ths
fingers are on a line with the nose.
Draw the arm straight down toward
the stomach, a curving outward at the
hip and withdrawing slightly past ths
hip. Keiax tne arm as it is w-i in
drawn from the water. This is an
alternate stroke and as one arm en
ters the water the other should- do
on its forward journey.
To put the arm and root movements
together, throw yourself into ths
water face down as in, plunging and
swim as far as you can. The move
ment of the feet and arm must be
clear in the mind before breathing
can be learned.
Fill the lungs when the body is
thrown forward, face down. Exhale
slowly through the mouth under
water. Then as the ajrm (rlsbt or toft
as the swimmer is tachned) 1 draw
ing back, turn the head to the side
and fill the lungs. Breath through
the mouth.
Points to Remember.
Do not keep the head too low. It
will impede your progress. The face
should be no deeper than the eyes.
A racer must be able to see his mark
with little effort.
Be careful not to roll too much from
side to side.
There are about three kicks to one
arm stroke.
The next lesson will be on the side
strokes and the trudgeo.n.
