Some 4 2 odd baseball teams affili
ated with the Portland Baseball asso
ciation are taking advantage of July
4 celebrations in near-by tnwns to get
away from the Portland sandlots to
clash with out-of-town opponents to
day and tomorrow. Among the near
by cities that will draw heavily upon
local semi-pro fans for attendance is
Hood River.
This afternoon the league-leading
Honeyman Hardware nine will clash
with the strong Apple Picke- .' com
bination, while tomorrow, as a feature
of the July 4 festivities, the Multno
mah Guard team will be opponents of
the Hood River nine. It is hard to
determine which will be the main at
traction in the game tomorrow the
two teams or Rev. Billy Sunday, evan
gelist of world-wide renown and for
mer ballplayer, who will umpire. Rev.
Mr. Sunday, who Is at present at Ta
eoma. Wash., will make the trip from
the Tacoma Speedway to Hood River
by airplane tomorrow. Fans who have
witnessed him in action on the ball
diamond say that It is a rare treat to
watch hisj antics as an umpire.
fiilly Sandfly to Umpire.
President Routledge of the Port
land Baseball association wishes to
correct a statement that has been cir
culated of late to the t.i'cct that Sun
day will umpire the game between
Honeyman and Hood River today,
which Is not a fact, as he will umpire
tomorrow's game only. Panny Shea
will hold the Indicator in the contest
this afternoon. A par: e, band con
cert and open-air boxing bouts will
be other features of the celebration
at Hood River tomorrow.
A large delegation of guardnmen
are expected to make the trip from
Portland to root for their team, while
Si Simonsen, secretary of the Port
land Baseball association, will lead a
large party of fans from The Dalles.
Astoria t Get Action.
The Portland Iron Works will eet

lower Columbia river city this week
end. Today they clash with the Cen
tennials at Astoria, while th - game
tomorrow will be played at Seaside.
The Multnomah Guard team will
get in on two celebrations, as they
play Hillsboro today, going to Hood
River tomorrow. Bill Heales' Klrk
patrick All-Stars are playing a three
game series with Biddy Bishop's Sen
ators at Salem.
A fast contest is promised i:. the
class AA circuit this aftsrnoon, when
Crown Willamette tackles the league
leading Arleta team on the latter's
home field. Among the Independent
teams playing under P. B. A. book
ings the contest between the Knights
of Columbus and Eastern & Western
Lumber company promises to be in
teresting. Teams in the class A city league
and class A-l circuit are taking to
day off, but will resume their regular
schedule next Sunday.
The regular weekly meeting of the
P. B. A. will be held Tuesday instead
of Monday this week. A fine of 25
cents per ,day will be assessed all
managers "who fail to turn in box
scores of their games at the meeting

One of the most reliable and hard
est working ballplayers in the Inter
City league is Arnold "Nig" Boytana,
stellar first eacker of the Portland
Iron T'orks club. His fielding has
been close to perfect, and the way he
nas been covering the sack is remark
able. These features, coupled with
his hitting ability and splendid throw
ing arm, make him one of the most
valuable players on the iron workers
payroll. In a recent game at Sher
wood he stretched full length on the

RED TWIRLERS MAKE HOLLER
Sal Ice and Eller Say Their Work on
Mound Is Handicapped.
CINCINNATI. Or., July 3. Claim
ing that the new pitching restrictions
are Illegal and improper, and that
they have both had their effective
ness completely ruined by these new
rules. Slim Sallee and Hod Eller, the
star pitchers of the Reds, have asked
for a modification of the code.
Eller asserts that his "shine" ball
is not illegal, and Sallee insists that
his use of resin, merely to dry his
hands before pitching, is not a viola
tion of any law. Both, so they set
forth, have been practically barred
from the pitching bill this season;
both are all at sea without the de
vices they used for so many years,
atvd both point out that the Cincin
nati clirb Is greatly handicapped by
their inability to win ball games.
Lack of Funds Hampers Boxers.
A gift of 20.000 francs by sportsmen
for the training of amateur boxers
to represent France in the Olympic
games at Antwerp this summer was
announced recently in Paris. This has
put new spirit into the contestants,
who are meeting for the elimination
matches. It is intimated other gifts
will follow. There has been much
pessimism in French sporting circles
as in 5reat Tlritnin because of the
lack of funds to properly prepare
teams in all sports.

BATTERS CLAMOR FOR JUSTICE
Over Fence Ball Rule Is Cause of
Change In Heart.
Umpires are queer mortals. Some
times they do not know their own
mind.
Last, winter Billy Klem and Hank
O'Day appeared before the rules com
mittee and asked that the rule gov
erning drives hit over the fences be
amended .to read: "Where the ball
goes over" in place of "where it last
disappears from view." At their in
stigation it was incorporated in the
new rules and all umpires breathed
a sigh of relief, as it was legislation
the arbiters had clamored for for
quite a. while. But were these
licensed burglars satisfied for any
length of time? They were not!
When howls started to follow one
another in rapid succession they cried
that the new rule be stricken out
and the old rule to govern and a
recent meeting of the heads of both
the American and National league
decided to go back to the old rule.
It is true that under the old rule
there is no ground for argument, but
the batter is not getting justice.
Many times the ball clears the fence.
but when It disappears from view it
is foul.
The Pacific Coast league has not
gone back to the old rule.

Jack Johnson Tells Newspaper Men He Has No Intention of Crossing
American Border Expects to Continue Residence in Mexico.

BY HARRY B. SMITH.
FRANCISCO, July 3. (Spe-
e talked this week with
of Los Angeles news
paper men who have had a chance to
see Jack Johnson at close range In
Tijuana and to talk with him. One
and all, they corroborate stories com
ing to me some weeks ago. They say
Johnson is far from fat; that he keeps
in good trim, and does not seem to
dissipate. '
One of them told me a story anent
the reports that Jack planned to cross
the border and give himself up to I
the United States federal officials. I
The newspaperman asked Johnson if
there was any truth in the report.
Jack looked him straight in the
eye, and replied:
"You don't see anything crazy
about me, do you? Well, any time
you hear that Johnson is going to
cross over into 'the United States and
take a jail sentence, you will know
he Is roaring mad. No, I don't pro
pose to do any such thing." Which
is likely close to the truth.
Unless plans go amiss. Johnson is
to box Al Norton, a coast light heavy.
Veight, in Tijuana Monday. Norton
has done more or less boxing in
these parts but Is not to be consid
ered a top-notch scrapper by any
means. Indeed, unless Johnson has
Cone so far back that you wouldn't
see him through a telescope, he ought
to win from Norton without any dif
ficulty. Some moving picture publicity peo
ple were telling me of one they tried
to "frame" that might have caused
a sensation had it gone through. They
suggested to Mack Sennett that he
send one of his companies across the
line into Tijuana to take some pic
tures. It was the plan to have a
lot of the Mack Sennett comic cops.
The theory was that Johnson would
be interested in seeing what was do
ing- and hang around. Then they
would seize the big black and escort
him into the United states. Federal
officials were to have been advised
so they could gather in "Lil" Arthur
and send him to jail. Sennett refused
to consider the proposition and that
was the end of it.
But what an international row
could have been stirred up had tire
moving picture man consented to take
chance! Mo question as to the
publicity, but it might have proved
expensive in the long run.
.
Another fight club Is trying to
brave the storm in San Francisco.
A neighborhood organization known
as the D. and H. club opened its
doors last Monday night at Sixteenth
and Guerrero streets, out in the Mis
sion. Reports have it the attendance
was slim, and while the promoters
may try" again, they are more than
likely to be discouraged. Four fight
clubs are running at present and that
is quite a sufficiency.
Speedball Hayden. negro scranner
from Arizona, made his first appear
ance here last week. He was sent
against Steve Dalton. Steve isn't a
star boxer, but he can take a lot of
beating. That's exactly what he did
at the hands of Hayden. The negro
looks to have a lot of the tricks
of the game, and I doubt very much
wnetner ne snowed us everv-thinsr h
knows in his first appearance.
Fred Murphy, farmer Olympic club
lad, made his first comeback since
he was knocked out, recently. He
took on Sammy Pelsinger and be
it said that Fred was lucky to get
a draw. Fighting is not a business
for Murphy, who Is as clean cut a
lad as you would wish to meet, and
if he takes the advice of his friends,
he will. sell his equipment, and stick
to the real estate game.
Frankle Farren made another of his
good fights at the Coliseum, when
ne won about as he pleased from
Willie Hunefeld of Los Angeies.
nuneieia nas won a number of bat
ties nereaDouts, and looked so good
tuey maue nim a iavorite over Farren.
Frankie, true to promise, took a
cnance at leading, and it was quite
suiucient to give mm the honors.
Reeves In Gibson Camp.
Jack Reeves, former San Francisco
middleweight boxer, whp has been
campaigning in the east, writes that
l:e has placed himself under the man
agement of Billy Gibs'on, the gent
wno guides Benny Leonard, light
weight champion. Reeves is matched

TEX" RICKARD
MOST PICTURESQUE FIGURE
Speculation Is Rife as to Age and
of Boxing
promoter, still later oil man and
South American cattleman, but al
ways infatuated with the glove sport,
is probably the most interesting fig
ure in the sporting world today.
There is no use in displaying the im
pertinence necessary to learn the ex
act awe of Rickard, and, besides that,
there is little use in trying to dis
cover how old this dynamic, ever ac
tive promoter de luxe of the glove
wielding game really is. He's older
than he looks and he's older than he
acts and that should be sufficient in
formation on this point for any in
quisitive fan.
Burdened with the reputation of
being the greatest promoter of fistic
evnts in the world seems not to an
noy Rickard at all.- While the thatch
which crowns his head isn't as thick
as it once was. it is not due to wor
rying. He's got that way just like
many another man.
"lit Thinks on Ills Feet."
Rickard did not wear the thatch
thin by thinking In a short bed, for
he's not the fellow to "sleep over"
matters that concern him. He is fully
capable of doing his thinking whlie
afoot, and last week he gave ample
evidence of this in a" conversation
concerning the possible matching of
World's Heavyweight Champion Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, the
champion of Europe.
While "Tex" simply dotes on the
cattle business, for he has about the
biggest ranch in the world in South
America, a ranch on which there are
something like 20,000 head of cattle,
it would take a great stretch of im
agination to make one believe that
his enthusiasm over the said ranch
is stronger than for the boxing game.
There isn't the gamble and there isn't
the excitement (for Rickard) in the
ranch business that there is in the
glove game. And, regardless of all
the stories which reach print that
Charles Cochran of London and other
promoters of this and other countries
are going to pit Dempsey against
Carpentier, one need not be surprised
when the time is ripe to learn that
the man who is promoting the inter
national world's championship Is none
other than "Tex" Rickard.
His Keynote Ia Action.
As this was meant to be a word
picture of Rickard, perhaps a few
more paragraphs should be written
about the man and his way of occu
pying his time. "Tex" has been called
a "human dynamo." He's that all
right, for he's always speeding at
high tension, doesn't sit long enough
on one chair to warm it and talks or
listens intently. But "action" is the
one thing he must have and. he does
have it In doses larger than the aver
age man Is accustomed to take.
It may or it may not be interesting
Information for the layman to know
that Rickard is one sport man. In
other words, he is "cuckoo" over box
ing. He likes the glove sport Just as
well as the most .rabid baseball fan
likes the diamond game. The writer
asked him the other day:
"How about other sports, such as
baseball, etc.? Do you like them?"
"Can't say that I do," answered

WRESTLER VIDAHOF BACK
PORTLAND ATHLETE AT EXD
OF 18 MOXTHS' TOUR.
Japan, China, India, Holland, Eng.
land, France and Eastern Coast
of V. S. Visited.
John Vid.hof, one of Portland's few
wrestlers it note, returned home last
week after an 18 months' tour of the
world during which time he visited
Japan, China, India, Holland. Eng
land, France and the eastern coast of
the United States.
Vidahof came to America from Fin
land in 1914 and landed and settled
In Portland. He took up the grap
pling game at the Portland Y. M. C.
A. and gained his first knowledge of
the art from Ad Garlock, who Is now
associated with Frank Kendall in the
management of the Olympic gymna
sium. At that time Garlock was
wrestling and boxing instructor at
the Y. M. C. A., a position which he
held for several years.
Vidahof, a strong, husky youth,
proved an apt pupil and after a ses
sion of training took part in his first
professional match, meeting Eddie I
O'Connell at the old Rose City Ath
letic club. Although he had never
previously taken'part In a real match
he held his own and Eddie was unable
to throw him after two hours of tus
sellng, having to be satisfied with the
decision.
After a rest Vidahof took part In
several more matches, winning them
all. He signed up on one of the out
going vessels here 19 months ago and
got his fill of a sailor's life. John
spent nearly a month in Japan, durfng
which time he appeared in several
matches and learned a number of new
tricks from the wily sons of the
orient. From Japan he went to China,
thence to India, and on to Rotterdam,
Holland. After visiting England and
France he set sail for home, touching
at New York and .New Orleans.
Vidahof is weighing around 148
pounds and is in excellent condition.
He will train throughout the summer
and next winter and plans on making
a strong bid for top-notch honors in
the wrestling game.
Coast Weight Men Show Well.
The performances in the New York
track events all through were only
mediocre. The times made have been
better in every event in the various
Pacific coast A. A. U. championships.
In the field events, notably the ham
mer and 56-pound weight, the New
York performances beat anything
done on this coast this season. Ryan
won the hammer with 170 feet 11
inches and McGrath took second with
only 149 feet 1H4 Inches. When we
look at J. McEachern's 165 feet and
Jack Merchant's 165 feet the coast
men are not far behind in the ham
mer event. MeEachern is a San
Francisco Olympic club man and Mer
chant hails from Marshfield. Or., and
is a student at the University of
California.
MEASURING OF CUP
YACHTS DIFFICULT
acers Soon to Go Through
Complicated Ordeal.
NEW RULES ARE INVOLVED
Expectations Are Challenger Will
Be Compelled to Give Time
to Defender.
NEW YORK. July 3. Just prior to
the starting of the first race for the
America's cup this month off Sandy
Hook. Shamrock IV, the challenger,
and the American defender of the
historic trophy will be towed to a
south Brooklyn shipyard for official
measurement. This is a very impor
tant feature of the big contest and
one that is going to create consider
able trouble. Upon the outcome of
the measurement will depend the time
allowance that will exist between
the craft. No one knows what this al-
owance is going to he, although all
who are familiar with the situation
state that the challenger will have
to give time to the defender.
It is going to be an exceedingly
difficult task to measure the cup
achts. For the first time, the big
race will be sailed under the univer
sal rule of measurement. The rule
reads as follows: '
Yachts shall be rated for classi
fication and time allowance accord
ing to the following formula: 18 per
cent of the product of length, multi
plied by the square root of sail area,
divided by cube root of displacement."
Rule Is Complicated.
This Is an exceptionally compli
cated rule and one that only yacht
designers understand. For the past 30
years in all of America s cup races
the measurement of a boat for time
llowance has been one-half of the
sum of the load-water line length and
the square root of sail area.
In 1903 and previous years Messrs.
Mower and Hyslop simply measured
the deck length of a boat, dropped
a plumb bob line from each end into the
water, floated a batten in under the
bow and under the stern, measured
on the batten the distance from the
plumb line to the end of the water
line, forward and aft, and substracted
the sum of these two measurements
from the deck length. That gave them
the load-water line length. The sail
area was measured according to arbi
trary methods, but it was assumed to
be, and very nearly was. the measure
ment of the area of the sails. To
determine the square root of this area
was a simple matter and one sum in
addition and one in division deter
mined the rating of the boat.
This was the formula even in 1903,
although the measurements of boats
for other races of the New York
Yacht club of that year were made
under a rule very similar to the one
now In force, but this rule having
been adopted early in 1903, and the
challenge for the cup races of 1903
having been accepted In. the fall of
1902, the old rule of measurement pre
vailed in the last cup race.
Various Teats Xecessnry.
This year, however, the measuring
of the yachts will be more compli
cated involving a lot of calculation.
The load-water line will be meas
ured as heretofore and then the quarter-beam
length will be ascertained.
This dimension is used as a corrective
of the load-water line and it must
not without penalty be more than a
certain percentage of the load-water
line length. For a boat of 76 feet
water line, the dimension fjxed by
the challenger, this percentage will
be slightly over 91 per cent. Should
it exceed this percentage, one-half of
the excess will be added to the load
water line length, in order to con
stitute the length factor in the calcu
latlon for rating.
In addition there will be various
tests to ascertain whether the
builders have made any concave
curves or notches in the lines of the
hull for if so certain penalties are
provided.
While quite different from that of
years ago the method of measuring
the sail area is really a method of
ascertaining practically the area of
the sails. These two measurements,
the length factor and the sail area
factor may of course be taken while
the boat is in the water. The really
new feature of the measurement of
'the cup yachts, however, will be the
measurements taken to determine the
spacing. The rule governing this
reads:
"Displacement to be obtained by
weighing or as follows: The load
water line shall be divided into ten,
equal parts and the area of the im
mersed cross-sections found in square
feet. From these areas the load-water
linelength the displacement in cubic
feet shall be calculated by Simpson's
rule."

racer the area of the immersed cross
sections must be determined. In order
to do this it becomes necessary to
place the boat in drydock, after the
first mark in the water line not only
at the bow and stern, but all the way
round, the vessel is allowed to settle
on the blocking as the water is drawn
off so that the load water plane
should be horizontal.
If one were to erect a perpendicular
wall at the side of the boat, parallel
to her center line, and then measure
at intervals equal to one-tenth of the
load-water line length horizontally,
and. sy at intervals of a foot per
pendicularly, from this wall, horizon
tally to the side of the boat, these
measurements would be offsets.
The effect of it is much like slii'ing
the boat crosswise into sections, then
dividing each section into parallelo
grams a foot high, then calculating
the area of each of these foot-high
'parts, and adding thc-in together to
mane ine area or tne section, and tnis.
it may readily be seen, is going to be
a good deal of a job.
Simpson's rule is rather a scareful
thing when you look at It in the en
gineer's field books, but it is not such
a bit of mathematical depravity as it
looks to be. and the application of it
is a matter of plain arithmetic, al
though involving quite a lot of ad
dition, multiplication and division.
Having divided the load-water lines
into 10 ' equal parts, you have made
nine cross-sections. You add the areas
of these cross sections.
Having determined the displace
ment, the length factor and the sail
area, the measurer will then ascertair
the square foot of the sail area and
multiply it by the length factor. Ho
will then ascertain the cubic
root of the displacement and
with it divide the product he has
obtained by the multiplication of the
length factor by the sail area factor;
and then to get the ultimate result he
will take IS per cent of the result of
that division, and that will be the
rating for time allowance.

NEW YORK. July 3. When Ross
Young of the Giants leaped on Hod
Eller of the Reds for a trio of triples
he did something out of the ordinary,
for the list of National league players
who have turned this trick since the
parent organization got back to com
mon sense and an eight-club circuit
is not a large one. Back In the days
when the National was operating with.
a dozen clubs Scrappy Bill Joyce of
the Giants arose one afternoon and
smote four three-baggers, but since
lfOO three triples in one combat has
been the limit for pastlmers.
This was the second time in Young's
career he had assembled three long
blows in one fracas, the other occa
sion being on October 3, 1917, when
Ross got to Joe Oeschger, then of the
Phillies, for a double and a brace of
triples.
The last man. prior to Young, to
saw off three triples In a National
league game also was a Texan J.
Owen Wilson of the Pirates, native of
Austin. Owen had a field day with
the bat again3t Eros Barger of the
Superbae on July 24, 1911, being cred
ited with three three-baggers and one
single when all the returns were In.
Davy Brain, who aid a lot of wan
dering around the National league
circuit. Is the one man who twice
tripled thrice in games in the senior
organization, starring in this manner
once when he was with the Cardinals
and once when he was with the Pi
rates. This is a list of the National
leaguers who. in 21 games, have made
three triples in one game:
April 18. 1901 Sheckard. Brooklyn,
against Dunn and Duggleby of Philadelphia-September
22, 1903 Donlin, Cincin
nati, against Mitchell of Philadelphia.
May 29. 1905 Brain. St. Louis,
against Robertaille and Lynch of
Pittsburg.
August 8. 1J05 Brain, Pittsburg,
against Wllhelm f Boston.
August 10. 1905 Moran. Boston,
against Case and Robertaille of Pitts
burg. July 24. 1911 Wilson. Pittsbuig,
against Bars r of Brooklyn.
May 11, 1920 Young. New York,
against Eller of Cincinnati.
Johnson Thorn Rankles.
The question ever recurring as to
which fighter of his class was the
"greatest of all time." never will be
settled and is destined to boom down
the ages unanswered. However, ac
cording to tieorge ureen. a prominent
boxer of a decade ago and now in
structor in the manly art of self-defense
at the Olympic Athletic club of
San Francisco, there is no question
as to what boxer did the greatest
harm to boxing. Green accords this
distinction to Jack Johnson, the ne
gro, and former heavyweight cham
pion of the world. fie says he is
willing to accord It by acclamation.
Accuracy
Bait Casting: is a sport in which you
will be most accurate and skillful
only when you use a sturdy, well
balanced and pliant rod, an accurate
