4 THE SUNDAY OTIEGOXIAN. PORTLAND, AUGUST 1, 1920 NORTH DRAWS GQOO - TENNIS SELECTION Coast Talent Entered in Ta coma Tourney. NEER T0 DEFEND TITLE Six Big Atractions Draw Crowd to This Section for Banner Year of Game. BY LAWRENCE O. SMITH. . With players from every part of the coast competing, this year's Pa cific northwest championships, which will be held on the court of the Ta coma Tennis club starting tomorrow, promises to be one of the best tourna ments ever held in this part of the country, both in the number and play ing ability of the entrants. . Stars from British Columbia Wash ington, Idaho. Oregon and California will be on hand. The majority of the players who will compete at Jacoma have been playing in the British Co lumbia championship tournament. The usual number of events which constitute a championship tournament will be on the programme men s sin-, gles and doubles, women's singles ana doubles and mixed doubles. Neer to Defend Title. Phil Neer, present holder of the northwest title, will be on hand I to Sefend his honors. Neer. who recently won the Oregon state championship, has been following up this by win ning additional laurels in the Cana Sia? Tournaments at Vancouver and Victoria. His feat of capturing the Oregon title has been the cause of much comment in ruru.i". - ----playing at Tacoma will be the source of great concern to his many friends hewailr. Scott, the sensational Ta coma youngster who was the ru" I up to Neer in the tournament last , will be among those present this week. Scott has Improved during tne past year and should make the favor ites step to keep in tbe running. SOOtt put up a wunuc.iw. o - against Neer in the international championships held in Spokane the early part of last month and won the title by his victory over the Port- lander. If these two young stars meet. . one of the best matches ever staged by anv players of their age in the northwest will no doubt be witnessed. I , Allen Will Enter. ' Marshall Allen of Seattle, runner-up In the Oregon tournament last year, announced that he will be at Tacoma this year to play. He also is credited with a victory over Neer when he won the. Inland Empire title at Spokane from Phil last month. Allen was un able to play in the Oregon tourna ment here this yea. In the women's events Mrs. - Cushlng of Los Angeles and Miss Mayme MacDonald of Seattle seem to have the edge on the others. Mrs. Cushing won the ' British Columbia mainland championship at Vancouver, K., C and was a finalist in the British Columbia championships held at Vic toria last week. She is displaying ex ceptional form this year and will bear watching this week. Miss MacDonald won the Oregon state championship for the third con secutive time last month in the Port land tournament and is deemed a worthy competitor for Mrs. dishing. These two feminine stars have been meeting in tournaments in this part of the country for the last two years and the rivalry between them is very keen. Doubles Team Unknown. ' Just how the players will pair up in the' men's doubles is unknown. Phil Neer and Phil Bettens, the two young sters who are making such a good showing in the doubles events in Vic toria, will team up at Tacoma and should give a good account of them- Bettens and Carl Gardner of San Francisco are holders of the doubles title nf Oregon, which they won by ihir defeat of Catlin Wolfard and Henrv Stevens of Portland. Following is the programme for the week: Men's singles, onen. For the champion shin of the Pacific northwest and thfl Thome cup. The Thome cup was pre sented by Chester Tliorne in lSi5 and must be won three years in succession to become the property of the holder. It has been won three times by Fouikes of Victoria. Freeman of Pasadena and Tyler of Spokane and Seattle, twice by Russell of Seattle and Payne of Tacoma. and once by Hurd of Seattle, Powell of Vic toria, Breeze of Tacoma, (loss of Port land.' Emerson of North Yakima. Long of San Francisco. Strachan of San Francisco and H. C. Breck, Ll. S. A. Present holder, Phil Neer of Portland. Men's doubles, open. For the cham pionship of the Pacific north-west and the Tacoma cups, under terms of Rift. Pres ent holders. R. A. Waubreshak and Will 8. Taylor, of Seattle. Women's singles, open.

For the cham pionship of the Pacific northwest. Mixed doubles, open. For the cham pionship of the Pacific northwest. First and runner-up prizes in all events. The committee in charge of the tournament consists of Pierre Denton, chairman: Miss Jessie Kershaw. Miss Dorothy Davis, Miss Dorothy Demp sey, Miss Dorothy Kershaw. Henry Hewitt and James Lyon. Entries closed last night with one of the largest lists on record. At the conclusion of this tourna ment the players will journey to Se nttle and compete in the annual "Washington state championships, w hich will be held on the courts of the Seattle Lawn Tennis club. -This, will conclude one of the most successful seasons that the northwest has ever had. six tournaments being on the year's programme. ample of his exhibition of the niceties of spcrt -was when he stated that, should he challenge aain for the cup in the event he was defeated, he would allow sufficient time to elapse to give the other fellow a chance If he wanted a crack at the blue ribbon trophy of the seas. It certainly would be the bitterest of ironies if some- one alse stepped in and carried off what Llpton Had spent the best part ol a lile ti.ne in trying to achieve. "California to have five football coaches," runs a head. Evidently the old saw that too many cooks spoil the broth hasn't the slightest terrors to the powers that be at the state university. At least the boys ought not to lack for lnstrucion. Two hundred dentists of northern Cali fornia will hold a trpshoot on the Olym pic club grounds at San Francisco on Au gust 5. Their order to "pull" to the boys at the traps ousht to come familiarly enough.- Likewise the result will be per fectly painless, to the "birds." Considerable Interest will attach this year at the open golf championships to be held at Toledo, beginning August 10. In the manner in wbich the qualifying round will be run. The qualifying scores will not coint, but simply qualify the contestants for the championship proper. Fencing Is a sport that Is not generally followed and It is therefore something of an honor for Idaho to find one of Its native sons is so good that he has-been sent to Antwerp for the Olympic games. The lad in question is Eugene P. Sherman and his work with the foils made : a big Impression on the experts in the east who had to select the team. The rule calling for the closing of en tries for the Olympic games one month in advance is not found to work out prop erly. It means a big handicap to those nations far removed from the seat of the games. As a result the full entry lists from such countries as Australia and China and Japan have not been received on time at Antwerp. The committee, however, does not intend to press the rule, as mail conditions do not warrant It for such far-off locations. FAMOUS MAJOR LEAGUERS IN THE PUBLIC ' EYE. Checkers. E. H. BRYANT. Editor.

SISLER HAS BIG PROMISE PLAYER BELIEVED DESTINED TO REPLACE TY COBB. All -A round. Qualifications Second to None and Record This Season 1 Shows His Superiority. Ty Cobb is getting along toward the age where athletes are supposed to begin to sl:p; Tris Speaker, while still a great ball player. Is a veteran and cannot go on lorever. A rid when these two stars generally regarded as the greatest players in the game- are ready to give up the laurels to an other, who is going to step in and win the title of America s greatest player? Nine out of 10 close followers of , the major leagues will tell you that that man is George easier of the St. Louis Browns. Sisler, more than any other player in either major league today, bears the earmarks of the one player quali fied to ascend the throne of King Ty rus. St. Liouis fans are not alone in making their claims, for wherever Sis- ler displays his wares the bug3 ad mit that he is a rare gem on the ball field. Sisler has qualifications as an all around baseball player that Cobb can not ttoast of, for he can play prac tically any position aside from third base or behind the bat. Being left handed, Sisler would not be at home on third base, nor would he be in his element as a catcher. But he can play any other infield or outfield position and he can pitch. Fielder Jones made an infielder of Sisler rather than pitch him, for his wonderful ability as a fielder, batsman and baserunner makes it imperative that the Browns have him in the lineup every day. As a pitcher he would be available about twice a week and the Browns would lose much of his valuable hitting. So far this season Sisler is showing to better advantage than ever be fore. It isn't that the batting or base running figures have anything to do with it. He is simply a greater ball player than ever and he shows it in his movements.

"Why. there's Benny Kauff out in center field," said! a fan at the Polo grounds. I thought the Giants had traded him for this bird, Spencer, of Toronto." So it is," said his friend, as he studied the player out in center field. while the Braves took their turn at bat in the opening1 inning. "They must have changed their minds about Benny." As the Giants came in from the field at the end of the inning the fans had a chance to get a close-up view of the Giants center-fielder, but it was not until he got to the bench that they discovered the player was not Kauil, out Jspencer, for the new center-fielder resembles Benny close ly in build and general appearance. 17-14 26-23 32-38 6- I 10-15 24-27 14-23 23-27 2S-32 1- 5 15-19 19-23 23-19 27-32 S2-2S 5-14 11-16 27-32 19-23 31-27 32-28 2- 7 16-20 24-20 23-26 27-32 23-19 7- 10 20-24 20-24(A (A) 4-8, 32-28. 16-20. 15-11. 12-16, ( B ) 27-23(U. 20-16 24-27 27- 32 28-32 28- 24 19-23 32-28 12-16(E 16-19 27-24 28-32 16-20 W.

Cal., July 31 "With the arrival in Los Angeles of Tom Tominaga, a former Los Angeles high school boy. now repre senting Yumito Kushibiki, the biggest sport promoter in Nippon, It defi nitely became known that the all-National and American league baseball clubs now being organized by Gene Doyle will tour the orient thi fall. It had been the plan of Doyle, Buck" Weaver (White Sox) and others interested in the trip to play series of games in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland. Sacramento and smaller cities prior to "shoving off"" from San Francisco for Tokio and way points, but now it will be straight to Japan. Tom Tominaga, direct from Japan. alters the plan altogether and an nounces that the coming journey is to be the greatest, the longest and the most elaborate since the world tour of the Giants and Comiskey years ago. . KmiHarjr la Americanized. Tominaga is an Americanized Jap anese who spent his boyhood days in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Waseda university. After a lengthy conference with Doyle, today Tomi naga gave out the information that the big leaguers will sail from San Francisco in early October or just as soon as they can be assembled there after the close of the season. Games have already been arranged in Tokio, Osaka. Kobe. Yokohama, Shanghai and' Hongkong, China; Ma nila and Honolulu will be visited. The men will not i M.irn until March 1. The idea in rushing the trip is that October and early November find the weather of Japan similar to that of Los Angeles during the winter months. After November 15 snow is likely to be encountered and the in terests which Tominaga is acting for wish to have the Yank tossers out of their country before inclement weather sets in. "Baseball will eventually be Japan's national game," Tommy Tominaga said. "The University of Chicago has just concluded a month's trip in the orient, during which time it played eight games and the varsity was forced to bustle at all times. "Japan's first baseball league will be formed this winter with teams at Tokio, Kobe, Yokohama and Osaka. It is our intention to bring a num ber of major league players over after the close of the 1921 season in America to act as coaches. 'Buck' Weaver has assured me he'll go. All our men need is a bit of tutoring when batting." Players, to See Hlsk Life. According to Tominaga, ' the ap proaching tour is bound to be a dis tinct social and financial success. Members of the nobility and the more rabid fans will pay 50 yen ($25) for grandstand seats. Tominaga is also closing for moving picture stars- to make personal appearances and high- class theatrical talent -of all kinds. for it is the intention of Promoter Kushibiki to leave no stone unturned in putting over a winter season of entertainment never before equaled Tommy Tominaga will remain In Los Angeles for a month, when he will go east to talk business with "Buck" Weaver.. For his ail-American league club Weaver has already signed George Sisler, Allan Sotboron and Joe Gedeon (Brownies); Daus, Howard Ehmke, Harry Heilman, Donnie Bush and Ed die Ainsmith (Detroit); "Happy' Felsch (White Sox) and Bobby Roth J.

Fletcher ousht to be as valuable a man lor the fnus as ne was tor jonn McGraw for many a long year. Fletcher gave McGraw the better part of his baseball ":lfe and Giant fans will watch him in his new berth. Fletcher's main attribute is his gamcness. He can be counted on aay and day out despite tne ract mat he may be nursing minor injuries or bodily' ills.

Eighteen days later Charley Her tog came to the club to play third tnd Fletcher went to short. He played that station lay in and day out until traded the other day.

Jack Demp- sey dropped into New Tork and by way of diversion went to the Empire City track for some racing in the af ternoon- Dempsey looked nlmost as formid able as he did that July 4 at Toledo. I m within a pound or two of fieht- ingr weig-ht," said the chamDion. it win take me but three weeks to he just where I was at Toledo. The thing lm looking for is a place to train. I want to he near the seashore if possible. Bill Brennan may be my next opponent and 111 be ready for him. I speak of the sea shore because I'm a great believer in salt water swimming." Kearns and Dempsey were stalkine about in the paddock when they hap pened on "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons and his "'Four-leaf Clover club." Dempsey was introduced to Fits and the little trainer looked the champion over from toe to top. Then taking uempsey s hand, itz says: 'By gum, boy you're certainly built for speed. You're a regular man war." At one time Dempsey, Ben- ney Leonard. Johnny Dundee, Jack Kearns, Joe Benjamin and Billy Gib son were in the center of a group of listeners. The crowd became so dense about the fistic notables that Kearns finally wnispereo to uempsey that they had better move on as everybody wanted to get a peek at the heavyweight champion. Mooney, the midget jock ey, wriggled through to the center of . things and then wriggled back to a wondering group of his fellow "driv ers." All out of breath, he fairly gasp ed: "Gee, I touched his coat!" Odd things how news of the pres ence of fistic royalty travels. Demp sey hadn't been on the lot more than 20 minutes before every man. woman and child there seemed to know it and" wanted a look. Dempsey grinned good naturedly, even when some of the more bold walked up and delib erately felt his good right arm. Leonard looked well and the light weight champion bears no marks of his recent hard bout with Charley White. "He hit me one blow that hurt." said Leonard. "A left hook landed on the point of myj left shoulder and for three rounds my left arm hung prac tically helpless at my side. "I never experienced such & pecu liar sensation after receiving a blow. My arm was to all intents and pur poses paralyzed." GOLF COURSE IS PROJECTED Poor Man's Links Being Provided at National Capital. It will soon be possible to play rolf in Washington without becoming a member of one of the expensive country clubs. Uncle Sam Is now busily engaged in building a nine hole course. It is to be located in Potomac park, about 15 minutes from the business section of the'capitaL Players will be allowed to use the course for the nominal-fee of 25 cents for each round. The ability to play golf In Wash ington for 25 cents per round will help to correct the impression that golf is a rich man's game. It is true that the dues of the average golf club are beyond the reach of the average purse. Especially is this true of the country clubs about Washing ton, where social distinction is usual ly a prerequisite for admittance to membership. Whether Mr. Cox or Senator Harding is elected, Washing ton is counting upon seeing a presi dent playing upon its public golf links next summer. The plans for the links In Poto mac park also call for a club house, with locker and bath facilities. The links will be finished before con struction of the club house is begun, however. At the present time there is a three-hole course in the park. wheTe mar. y beginners practice daily. ANTIPODES PICKS CHAMPIONS Olympic Athletes Kxpected to Make Good Showing. WELLINGTON, New Zealand.
