Final preparations for staging the
19J0' Oregon state tennis champion
ships, which will Ret under way to
morrow on the courts of the Irving
ton Tennis club, are being made by
Walter A. Goss, who is in charge of
the tournament. It is expected that
the entry list in this tourney will
clipse all others.
Tomorrow will see the players get
ting started on the first round of the
men's singles. Players from Tacoma.
Seattle, Spokane, San Francisco and
Portland are entered.
Many of the playors who were en
tered in the Inland Empire champion
ships at Spokane are on hand and
ready to play.
Cat 11 n Wolfard. state champion, re
turned last night from Spokane,
where he was eliminated in the first
round of the Inland Empire singles
championship by Fenimore Cady of
Boise, Idaho. Cady may enter the
tournament this week, but nothing
definite has been heard from him.
According to the advance dope, he is
expected to have a good chance or
winning the state title, should he
compete.
Wolfard and Henry Stevens, hold
ers .f the doubles honors, will be
seen In action defending their title.
This, combination did not pair up in
the tournament at Spokane, but had
they been on the same team. no
doubt there would have been a dif
ferent story to tell.
Miss Mayme MacDonald, sensational
woman star from Seattle, will be here
to defend her title of state champion.
Miss MacDonald has twice won the
Oregon championship and will make
a desperate attempt to land the hon
ors for the third time. Miss Mac
Donald has been playing all season
and is reported to be in fine form.
Phil Neer, local star, did not live
up to expectations at Spokane last
week. In the International singles
event he lost to Wallace Scott of Ta
coma in the finals. Quite a few fol
lowers of the game hold the opinion
that Phil was not at his best. Last
year, wJien he won the Northwest
senior title at Tacoma, Scott was the
player from whom Phil won.
Marshall Allen, runner-up in the
singles of the state tournament last
year, will compete again. His entry
blank has already been received and
the youthful University of Washing
ton star is expected to put in an ap
pearance any minute. Allen has im
proved considerably this year, accord
ing to word received from California
and Washington where the lad has
been playing.. He represented the
untTersity in the Pacific coast inter
collegiate tennis championships in the
south last spring.
Of the local stars who will com
pete, Wolfard, Stevens, A. D. Norris,
A. D. Wakeman, James Mackie, Roger
MacVeagh. Ted Steffen, Walter Goss
and Harry Gray are considered the
best bets.
All of the regular events will be
played, men's singles and doubles.
women's singles and doubles and
mixed doubles. A consolation singles
will also be played.
Following is the programme for the
week at Irvington:
Gentlemen's open singles For the cham
pionship of the state of Oregon and the
Wilbur cup. This cup must be won thres
times (not necessarily in succession) to be
come the permanent property of the win
ner and has been won once by Catlin
Wolfard In 1010.
Ladled open singles For the championship-
of the state of Oregon and the Wa
ve r I y challenge bowl. The winner will
meet Miss Mayme McDonald, present
holder of the Waverly challenge bowl and
which has been won by Mrs. W. I. North-
rup In 1910 and by Miss Mayme McDonald
In both 191" and 3919. The bowl becomes
the property of the player who wins it
three times.
Gentlemen's doubles -For the champion
ship of the state of Oregon and the Mult
nomah challenge cups. The winners will

CRIMSON FOLLOWERS EXPECT
GRIDIRON SUPREMACY IN FALL
Harvard Spirit Rejuvenated When Football Followers Choose Arnold
Horween as Leader of 1920 Team.
REGARDLESS of the fact that the
Percy D. Haughton came to bat
the other day with the statement
that the slump in the Harvard ath
letics was due to the lack of "col
lege spirit" at Cambridge, the crimson
followers believe that they will re
sume their former supremacy on the
gridiron next fall. Such, at least,
was the opinion of the ones who
talked with the Harvard graduate
managers, held under the direction of
the American intercollegiate football
rules committee at the Hotel Biltmore,
New York.
The Harvard followers based their
opinion on the spirit that has been

Henry Neer, winner of the boys

come in for uis share of applause as

Henry is a brother of Phil Neer and

Following this week's tournament,
the eyes of the tennis world will
look toward Vancouver. B. C, where
the annual British Columbia Main

This tournament will be held the
week of July 19-24 under the aus

Cobb Stays
-Maisel Is Out.
When Frit Maisel joined the Yan
lcee team several years ago he set to
work stealing bases with such regu
larity that after a month his averaj
per game at pilfering was away ahead
of that of Ty Cobb. . A ?reat future
was predicted for the little third
sacker one statistician showing how
Maisel would soon outshine Cobb.
No. figures do not lie but they do
not always tell the whole truth. Cobb
is still in the big league Maisel is
not.
Storer and Fish all spell not only New
England to the football enthusiasts,
but also American stock, guaranteed.
One of the much harped-upon criti
cisms of the Harvard sports has been
a reference to this same tendency to
make athletic leadership at the uni
versity of a New England character.
This is not true in so far as Horween
is concerned.
"Arnold Horween, In the first place.
Is the son of a foreign-born Ameri
can, who came to tnis country irom
Russia In his early 20s, as soon as
his military service in the empire
had been satisfactorily concluded.
Business connections took the father
to Chicago, the city which is now so
proud to have produced Harvard s
two well-known football backs, the
brothers, Ralph and Arnold. '
Leader Popular.
Thus, the present gridiron leader
stands as a popular revolutionist of
Harvard football, an invader from a
western city and one of foreign extraction.
"In every team there is commonly
star of brilliancy, who rightly wins
acclaim through unusual but obvious
ability. Such a man was the Natick
hero of 1915, Eddie Mahan. and the
Natick hero of the present day, Ed
die Casey. Each of these remark
able backs ranked as the player upon
whom the crimson system of the sea
son was built.
Line Plungers Valuable.
"Also, on almost every team there
is a performer less brilliant, but
equally valuable, sometimes a defen
sive player, or a plugging linesman
or a plunging back. Such men were
Bradlee, Hardwick, Pennock and
Turnbull of Brickley's famous 1914
eleven. And such a man is Arnold
Horween, Harvard's present captain.
"A line plunger, as a rule, is not
the man who contributes the 20, 50
stands to their feet. He is the man
who hits the line for the two yards
needed for first down, or for the last
yard at the enemy's goal.
Playing la All Around.'
"Likewise, a defensive fullback Is
not the last man on the field to
bring down the hostile runner who
has broken loose. He is the man
who plugs the middle of the line,
taking all the smashes that come his
way, playing a killing game, getting
in on 90 per cent of the plays in the
enemy offensive.
"And that is what Arnold Horween
has done for Harvard football during
his football career.
"Captain Horween has a long foot
ball history behind him. At his
school, the Francis Parker' in Chi
cago, he played about every position
on the team, finally filling the full
back's berth as his rightful posses
sion. Incidentally he did his part in
track and football, as a shotputter
and twiner.
Regular Place Gained. '
"When he came to Harvard, fol
lowing his brother Ralph, he quickly
gained a regular place as half-back
on Fred Church's heavyweight 1920
outfit and In the Yale's freshman
game, which Harvard won, 21 to 6,
he was taken out with a broken
collarbone after a fine performance.
"The following year, with athletics
in second place, he helped to organ
ize an informal eleven, of which he
was captain. In the spring of 1918
he tried his arm on the mound with
the baseball team and might have
won a regular post on Captain Mc
Leod's 1919 outfit if he had not
thrown his arm out In his first game.
"During the spring practice Cap
tain Horween's leadership has been
very much in evidence. If one may
judge by the way he-has run things
to date the crimson team Is in for a
big season next fall. At least, that
is what we all believe down Cam
bridge way." ,

American Expert's Appointment
Comes as Surprise to Many
in State.
NEW TORK, July 10. The Havana
management is the first of the track
to make any announcement concern
ing the meeting it is going to give at
Oriental park. Last week General
Manager Bruen announced that th
meeting would open Thanksgiving
day and continue for 100 days. At th
same time he gave out his list of of
ficials for the meeting and among
them was quite a surprise. It was the
appointment of John Hachmeister as
presiding steward.
It was known here some time ago
that Brown and Bruen had conferred
with Hachmeister relative to his com
ing to Havana, but Hachmeister de
clared then that he did not care to
resume any racetrack work at this
time; that he preferred to be foot
loose for two years at least, as he had
some business deals on that would
take up most of his time. It is likely
that Brown and Bruen refused to lis
ten to this plea and made him such an
attractive proposition that he could
hardly afford to refuse it. Hachmeis
ter has not had any extensive experi-
nce as a presiding steward, but he
as been connected i with racing so
long and so well knows all the angles
to the game that there is not a man
hat knows him that would predict
hat he could not fill the bill as ac
ceptably as any racing official in
America.
Hachmeister brings with him In the
stand a greater fund of racing knowl-
dge than any man who has gone into
racing stand in a score of years. He
knows more about the average racing
horses than any other man in the
country, for at some time or another
in his 25 years' experience as a racing
fficlal in one capacity or another he
has had some dealings with them. In
addition to this, Hachmeister is a
keen student of men and can size up
man as quickly as anyone. There
is one thing certain no racing man
is going to outtalk him when he is
once called before the stewards.
Christopher J. Fitzgerald estab
lished a high order of affairs at Ha
vana and made it one of the cleanest
tracks ever run on the western hem
isphere. Hachmeister, as the succes
sor to Fitzgerald, should maintain
this order.

With two teams tied for the cov
eted first place in both the class dou
ble A and class A city leagues and
with several teams in both circuits
still close enough to the top rung of
the ladder to be considered dangerous,
the race for the pennant In these two
divisions of the Portland Baseball as
sociation promises to be a merry one
before the season is brought, to a
close.
Topnotchers In Tie.
In the first mentioned league Crown
Willamette and Kendall station are
the two combinations that are right
at present sharing the honors of the
league leadership, while in the sec
ond loop the Company A Engineers
and the Olds, Wortman & King nine
are enjoying the same distinction.
The teams tied for first position in
the class double A league have both
won four games and lost one, while
the percentage column shows six
games won and one defeat for the
leaders of class A.
Both the Crown Willamette and
Kendall station teams were late en
tries Into the two A. circuit and their
rise to the top has been rapid.. The
Streetcarmen, Arleta W. O. W.'s
and Hesse-Martin aggregations, who
at one time or other during the early
part of the season were ranking at
the top of the heap, have now dropped
into third, fourth and fifth places .in
he order named. All three are still
to be taken into consideration in pick
ing a winner in this division.
Support Is Lacking.
The semi-pro fans have not been
supporting the teams in the two A
league with the necessary patronage
which the brand of ball they are
dishing seems to deserve. Some fast
clashes are looming up for this after
noon and the fans may be well repaid
by sitting in on any of them. At
Sellwood par.k the Hesse-Martin tribe
will attempt to upset the Kendall sta
tion combination, while the American
Can company nine will attempt the
same feat against the Crown Wil
lamette tossers at Oregon City. Ar
leta will leave town for a jaunt to
Battle Ground. A double header will
be staged at Columbia park with the
Carmen and Union Pacific clashing in
the first go and Columbia Park and
the Taylor Motor Car company in the
second.

ried Gibson, who was shy a boxer for
his first bout.
"I came to see the fight," piped
Benny. To which answer Gibson told
the youngster he would have to

"But I haven't any," shot back the
now frightened Benny.
"Can you fight?" asked Gibson. And
when Benny said he thought he could
he was all "set."
It was Mickey Finnegan whom
Leonard opposed, and the third round
saw him win by a knockout. He was
a regular on Gibson's cards from
that time on.
The boxing game had been good
to Leonard. His earnings during the
last year have been close to $200,000,
says Gibson. His fight with Willie
Ritchie at New York, when he scored
a technical knockout in the eighth
round, drew $52,000. The sum of
$33,000 represented the gate receipts
at his last fight with Johnny Dundee.

One of the 67 Jack Britton-Ted

and Jack's left was in Ted's center
board so often that said beak was
quite sore and red, much to the de

way Britton peppered Ted's horn was
a shame- It got to be monotonous.
Along about the seventh round Jack
was still going strong and the thin
guy next to the fat man in the third

for a kid.
Jack jabbed four in a row and the
thin guy counted them aloud as they
landed. Then a few more jumped in.
and finally the whole gang joined

Charlie White of Chicago had his
third and probably his last chance
at the lightweight boxing title of the
world. He failed when he met Ritchie,
and then again when he had a chance
at Freddie Welsh. Had White waded
into Welsh as he did against Leonard
he undoubtedly would have had the
satisfaction of having been enrolled
among the champions of his class. No
other man had the opportunities af
forded White. He now takes his place
among the other has-beens.
Joe Azevedo of Sacramento is a
little fighter who has been perform
ing on the coast for a good many
years. There was a time when there
were many who thought that Joe had
a good chance to work his way up to
the title, but he failed of being quite
good enough. Azevedo is one of a
small class of ring men who is al
ways trying his best when he is in
the ring. In the light of the many
present-day shirkers we have, it is
a pleasure to give credit where It is
due.

MANILA GOLF PLAY IS CLOSE
McGregor From London Wins Title
in Island Tourney.
MANILA. P. I., July 10. The golf
championship of the Philippine islands
is in the hands of T. C. McGregor,
former resident of London, England,
McGregor was a contender for the
British championship in 1913, being
eliminated in a preliminary round by
Francis Ouimet, former national ama
teur and. open champion of the United
States.
The annual tournament which was
held at the links of the Manila Golf
club was an open contest at 72 holes.
medal play, all residents of the
Philippine islands being eligible.
Out of an entry list of 12, McGregor
of the Manila Golf club turned in the
low score of 313, winning the cham
pionship. W. Z. Smith, who is a pub
lic links player, was second with 315
and J. R. H. Mason, Manila Golf club
third with 322.
The feature of the championship
was the showing made by Smith, who
drove his first ball a little more than
two years ago, when he became
pupil of Tom Nlcoll, superintendent of
the municipal course operated by the
city of Manila. Smith broke the
Manila Golf club record for 18 and
36 holes with 71 and 75, respectively.
leading the field by seven strokes, but
fell down on the last 36 holes and
lost the championship by only two
strokes.
The Manila Golf club course is 5366
yards in length and par for the course
is 68.
ROO VP PICKED FOR RING
Sport 'Writer to Be Third Man. in
Tendler-Jackson Bout.
William H. ("Billy") Rocap, Phila
delphia sports editor, has been se
lected to referee the eight-round- bout
between Lew Tendler of Philadelphia
and Willie Jackson of New York
when the pair of lightweight stars
meet at the Phillie KryU park July
12. Both Jackson and Vendler were
at loggerheads as to a referee for
this match, but when Promoter Leon
L. Rains suggested the name of Rocap
both boxers readily consented. Ro
cap has an international reputation
as an official, having refereed bouts
in England France and America. A
number of bouts in which he was
third man in the ring were cham
pionship battles.
bers of the Multnomah Guard twirl
ing staff, got off to good starts dur
ing the holiday games last week. In
two games a total of five hits were
allowed by both chuckers. A glance
over "who's who in the brush" shows
that Culver was a former Oregon
Agricultural college mound artist and
later played serai-pro ball around
The Dalles.
The Hlllsboro American Legion
team has released Catcher Desslnger
and re-signed Outfielder Van Blarl

Baseball Is being so well supported
at Hillsboro that the natives thereof
believe they can stand two teams and
the result is that another team has
been organized, which will play inde
pendent under Portland Baseball as
sociation bookings. The name select
ed for the new outfit is Hillsboro In
dependents. Oregon City is also or
ganizing another team.
The St. Johns Lumber company and
the Western Cooperage nines, which
have been traveling on their own
hook, have decided to cast their lot
with the. Portland Baseball associa
tlon and will probably be voted in at
the next meeting.
The recent dance held by the Port
land Baseball association - aboard the
river boat Swan proved to be such
success that the association will hold
another July 23. Tickets for the
event have been placed in the hands
of 'Whit" Whittlesey, secretary of the
Multnomah Guard club.
Contrary to certain reports which
have been circulating around the
bush ball headquarters, the Baker
brothers have not yet left the Sher
wood team and will In all probability
be seen in Onion city uniforms this
afternoon. The rumor was to the ef
fect that both men had left the Sher
wood team after last Sunday's game.
