petition Are Awaited Eagerly to
' Learn City Standing. '
Participants in the national hex
athlon of the Young- Men's Christian
association are awaiting with un
usual interest the outcome of this
year's contest. The Portland associ
ation. which has closed its part of the
competition, made a total of 4462
points, .as compared with 4282 'last
year, when it won eighth place for
the United States. If records of other
leading associations are not raised.
the local V. M. C. A. seems eel-tain to
take a place near the first this year.
In tire 60-yard potato race the
Portland association amassed 765
rcints this year, exceeding last year's
mark by 23 points. A big gain was
shown also in the 160-yard potato
race, as 994 points were earned,
gainst 902 in 1920. The total for
the standing broad jump was in
creased from 696 to 772, and the shot
put total from 607 to 541. The run
ning high jump record fell from 636
to 627, and the fence vault total also
fell from 701 to 663.
Some Records la Danger.
Some of the Portland contestants
came near to the records held by past
participants in the national T. M. C. A.
hexathlon. George Hartman of the
Portland assoilation won the local
60-yard potato race in 14 3-5 seconds.
The national record is held by A. J,
Connor of Newport. R. I, who ran it
in 13 1-5 seconds.
Local honors in the 160-yard po
tato race were taken by Willard
Rucker at 41 1-5 seconds. Robert
firlndle of Woonsocket. R. L. still
holds the national hexathlon record.
with time of 33 1-5 seconds.
Arnold Peterson captured the run
ning hieh lump. His record was 6
feet 4 inches. Thomas A. Moffitt of
Philadelphia won the national record
in 1916 by jumping 6 feet 1-16 inch.
B. A. Ball of Portland lacked a foot
and a half of equaling the national
high mark in the fence vault. . His
best vault was 6 feet, against the na
tional record of 7 feet 6 Inches, held
by George M. Woodman of Fort
Worth. Texas.
G. McGinnis won the standing broad
jump event for the Portland associa
tion, with . a mark oi ieei m
inches. The national record was won
Izt 1915 by A. M. Bonnard of San Fran
cisco, who jumped 10 feet i incnes,
- National Mark Approached.
The highest shotput mark was won
bv W. K. Royal for the Portlana com
petition this year. He set a mark of
41 feet 4 inches, lacking 3 feet of
equaling the national hexathlon rec
ord held by R. J. Laurence of Plain
field. X. Y. Laurence's record has
tond unbroken since 1909. .
The marks made by Portland par
ticipants this year were gratifying
to the physical directors of the Young
Men's Christian association. n
seems likely that we will win a bet
ter place in the national competition
than last year," said Tom H. Gawley.
director of the. physical education de
partment. "As this association suc
ceeded In bettering its record by con
siderable number of points in four of
ths six events, we are awaiting ad
vices anxiously as to the outcome. It
is l'kely, however, that the results of
the various associations will not be
tabulated completely until some time
Ir. April."
The Portland participants were late
in starting their practice for the
events this year, but worked dili
gently until the opening competition

and the strain begins to tell on the
crowd, any sudden move on the part
one contestant brings a score of faint

It is almost more than -flesh and

about among the watchers with blan
kets and tuck them in right where
they are sleeping.

There is no reason in the world

but nevertheless it brings out a fact
that will have considerable bearing

Reported to Be Fast. . 1
Spring activities at the Portland
Rowing club have started . with a
rush according to Edward A. Stevens,
captain of the crews who promises
a busy season for the Portland oars
men. A hard schedule is facing the local
crews. The Canadian crews who will
furnish most of the opposition for
the Portland club are reported to be
very fast. The Victoria lightweight
four champions in 1920 will compete
again Ibis season. This crew is the
fastest light four that ever rowed
tn the North Pacific Amateur Asso

In perfect form. The Portland club
youngsters will have to work hard
to beat them.
Another combination that is going
to cause the- Portland club consider
able trouble is the senior double team
composed of the Bendrolt brothers
of Victoria who won this event in
1920.
One of the hardest races of the
regatta is expected when Bill Ken

of the local club hook up in the
singles event. Kennedy is very fact
and a veteran at the game having
won ine senior race fur several-yean
past. MacDonald, while not having
the experience of Kennedy, won the
junior singles last year and should
give the veteran a close race this
year. If Major Thomas Taylor, the
Vancouver, B. C, Single sculler,
should enter again this year the race
will be a three-cornered affair.
Several other regattas in addition
to the N. P. A. A. O. meet will be
participated in by the local oarsmen.
The regular spring regatta will be
held by the local club the latter part
of June. There will probably be an-

Sara Crawford, now with the- Los
Angeles Coast league team, and Del
Howard, ' manager of the Oaks, in
point of world series competition, are
the two- oldest former major league
stars now with tne Coast league
teams. Crawford played in three
world series from 1907 to 1909, in
clusive, while Howard played in the
190T and 1908 games.
There are about 20 men now with
the Coast league teams who either
saw actual service In world series
games or were members of the teams
participating, but did not get into the
actual games for the world' series.
Every year from 1907 to 1920 Is rep
resented in the Coast league except
1910.
Of the men now in the Coast league
five of them .participated in two or
more world Beries games namely:
Howard. Crawford. Crandall, Shore
and Byrd Lynn. Crawford and Cran
dall both playing in three series.
Rowdy Elliott, now with 'Sacra
mento, last year was with Brooklyn,
but did not get into the game against
Cleveland. Bert Neihoff and Tom
Hughes, both with Los Angeles this
year, were . with the Boston Braves
in 1914, when that team played the
Philadelphia Athletics. . but, like
Rowdy, did not get Into the game.
Jim Scott, with San Francisco, was
with Chicago in 1917, but was not
used against. the New York Nationals
that year. ;
These major leaguers have the
years of experience behind them and
their world: series experiences . that
must add considerably to the teams
on which they play in the Coast
league. The steadiness and experi
ence of 'such men play their part in
stabilising the whole team, and.-besides
their own rbility. the playing
of such stars acts as a stimulus and

Frank Baker's bat to open the big
sporting event of the world which is
being staged in this city, is passin
unnoticed except for perfunctory reW
dispatches. You might think that the
tournament for the world's chess
championship was of no importance.
All the week Jose B. Capablanca
and Dr. Emanuel Lasker have bee
battling under the blazing Cuban sun
for the possession of the colored bead
sombrero which goes to the winne;
of the. world's title. All the week
excitement-crazed partisans of the
two chess masters have been throng
Ing the streets of Havana, breaking
shop windows and plundering cigar
orchards In the reaction from the
strains of watching the nerve-rack
ing contest which has been carried on
trom day to day.
Artificial Stimulants Handy,
Havana was chosen as the scene for
this colossal struggle of frontal Lrain
lobes doubtless because an unlimited
supply of artificial stimulants is es
sential to keep the players and their
audience awake. The refreshments are
fed to the contestants through ruober
tubes in order to leave tbeir hands
free to hold their heada.
Last Thursday the Tube through
which Dr. Lasker was being fed be
came twisted, -thereby sh-utting off his
supply or stimulant and before it was
discovered the German wizard was
fast asleep and had been for an hour
and a half. He . was penalized for
taking time out unnecessarily.
Capablanca, being a local boy, reigns
a strong favorite in the betting and
popular favor. A mass meeting was
held in the Havana theater early in
the week at which chess songs and
cheers were rehearsed, with the result
that a well-organized section of root
ers has been present at everv match.
One of the more inspiring of the chess
songs runs as follows:
"t Capablanca's Day.
Oh, 'aweep, sweep, across the board.
With your castles, queen and pawns.
We are with you, all Havana's horde.
Till tne sun of victory dawns.
Then it's flgii fight, fight.
To your last white knight.
f or tne trutn must win always.
And we'll feed only Lasker,
Some hot tobascer.
On Capablanca s day.
On Wednesday when Capablanca
won his first game of the series, the
Havana contingent rushed into the
chess room and did a snake .dance
around the tables, bearing the popular
Idol away to the locker building on
their shoulders.
The few German adherents who ac
companied Dr. Lasker started in to
make themselves rather noisy at the
beginning of the tournament and to
rattle Capablanca by shouting Ger
man grammar rules at him.
Cheering Section la Arrested.
The Havana chapter of the Amer
ican Legion thereupon had the wnole
Lasker cheering section arrested for
being pro-German and they are cow
confined in Moro castle awaiting de

Suddenly, there is a stir. One of
the contestants has started to take
his hand down from his forehead. The
udience is agog. Slowly the hand
descends and lays hold of a chessman.
For one nerve-racking moment it re
mains motionless. It is then placed
agaiht to the forehead, leaving the
chessman unmoved. With a sigh like
that of a football crowd when a punt
rolls across the sidelines, the watch
ers settle back again and begin to
crack their peanuts.
