Numerous members of the Multno
Jr.ah Anglers' club are expected to
epend today at Oswego lake as the
euests of Jim Morris arid Ray Win
ters to indulpe in an all-day pro
gramme of fly and bait casting
events. The programme will serve
as a test for local casters who ex
pect to show their mettle in the inter
national fly and bait casting tourna
ment at the Sellwood park August 26,
27. . 28 and 29. Letters received by
Walter F. Backus, president, and
Jack Herman, secretary of the local
club, from eastern casting centers in
dicate that the coming tournament
will be the largest ever staged in the
country. Practically every topnotch
fly and bait performer in the United
States has signified his intention of
attending.
A special car has been chartered
by the Chicago aggregation, which
will number nearly 50 casters." This
party will have their fill of all' kinds
of fishing, for several stops will be
made at famous streams between here
and Chicago. Included in the Chi
cago party are William Stanley and
R. H. Heetfield, two of the most
prominent casters in the game.
Stanley Accuracy Star.
Stanley specializes in the accuracy
bait events, and in this particular
branch he has no equal in the coun
try. He is the only man to ever turn
in a perfect score in the accuracy
bait events and also has a mark of
99.6 in the quarter-ounce accuracy.
Heetfield won the all-around title
in the national tournament at Colum
bus. O.. last year, winning over Call
McCarthy of Chicago by one point.
He does not specialize in any one
particular event, but is a consistent
performer in every department.
The programme for Oswego lake
calls for seven events, three to be held
In the morning and four in the after
noon. The dry fly accuracy. 4 -ounce
distance fly and quarter-ounce ac
curacy bait are events listed for the
morning, while the accuracy fly. 5.
ounce distance fly, one-half ounce ac
curacy bait and five-eighths-ounce
accuracy bait are slated for the after
noon. Al Cook will judge t"he events.
Following the national tournament,
held last year at Columbus, O.. the
rules committee of the National Asso
ciation of Scientific Angling clubs
found it necessary to make several
changes in the rules governing the
tournament. The following taken
from the official bulletin of the na
tional association gives in detail the
changes in the rules:
Fisherman's distance fi-ouncc plug
Rules governing H-ounce distance
plug event to be the same as the gen
eral rules governing all distance
events. Line, standard, adopted and
furnished by the association. This
line without leader or trace of any
sort, to be one continuous length to
the point where it Is attached to the
plug. Average of five casts to deter
mine the winner.
Rational Itulrn I Bed.
Light tackle dry fly accuracy This
tve.it shall be governed by the na
tional association rules for light
tackle dry fly accuracy, except as
follows: Five fly rings shall be scat
tered at random at distances unknown
to the caster, but no ring shall be
farther away from the casting point
than 50 feet.
Ten casts are to be made, as fol
lows: One at each target and change
to the next until the fifth ring is
reached, then in 'reversed order back
to the first. Caster may make as
many false casts in extending his line
to the first ring and between targets
as he desires, but must not let his fly
or line drag along the water before
retrieving. Scoring is to be the same
as In the event at regulation dis
tances. Whenever the fly strikes the water
it will be counted a cast, scored and
so announced aloud by the judges.
Should the fly strike the water on
a retrieve, it shall not be considered
a cast, but a demerit of five shall be
scored.
No cast shall be scored without a
fly. Official events are as follows: j
1. Accuracy fly 5 -ox. rod. !
2. Dry fly accuracy 5 -ox. rod
3. Dry fly accuracy 5-ox. rod.

who shall, while participating in any
annual N. A. S. A. C. tournament,
make a grand or total average of 98
per cent, or more, in two bait and
two fly events (officially recognized)
that involve accuracy and are fig
ured on a percentage basis. That is
to say, the general or total average
of the four events figured together
is to be 9S per cent, or over, and not
m-cessarily 9S per cent or more in
each of the events.
Should there be more than two ac
curacy events in either or both: the
bait and fly-casting events constitut

Factories' Unable to Fill Orders for
Spheres Consumed by Big-Time
Players in Games.
BT BILL UNMACK.
Pacific Sports Service.
Baseball fans and the public in
general have no' conception of the
money needed by various clubs of the
different leagues to pay the one item
of baseballs. The national pastime,
insofar as the major and minor
leagues are concerned, is a big finan
cial undertaking. Uniforms and other
equipment run into many thousands
of dollars for each team, and the mat
ter of baseball cost is a big item of
expense.
The leather - covered cork - center
"pill" is the center of a manufactur
ing business that is never given a
thought, and yet the various factories
this season have been unable to fill
orders for balls. One of the largest
factories last week notified its Pa
cific coast manager not to take any
more orders for balls; that the fac
tory was more than 7000 dozen balls
behind on orders, and that it was im
possible to catch up on the orders
this season.
The price of league balls at whole
sale is about $1.50 each, and these
balls retail for about J2.50. The big
clubs order their stock at the start of
the season and place orders of from
200 dozen for a minor league team to
300 dozen for a major league nine.
An idea of the number of balls used
by the big teams is shown by a re
cent statement made by Joe OrBrien,
secretary of the New York Giants,
who stated that last season his club
spent more than $5000 for balls, and
in games played on the home dia
mond used slightly more than 3000
balls. In every instance the home
team supplies the bails, and it is safe
to assume that all the major league
teams used about the same number
of cork centers that the Giants did.
The loss of balls is a big item to
these clubs. There was a time when
96 per cent of balls hit into the
bleachers were thrown back by the
fans. During the days of the war,
however, the fad of keeping the balls
started, the cry then being "Give it
to a soldier." "What we would like
to know." said O'Brien, "is where all
the balls go. A few hammered out
'of shape by hardy wallops by Babe
Ruth and others, a few banged out
of the lot entirely, a few kept by
players for practice, but mostly it
must be that the ones fouled into the
stands are the largest inroads into
the club's reserve supply of ammuni
tion. We did not mind during the
war when the fans kept the balls for
the soldiers, but now the grafting of
bateballs has grown rather alarm
ing. The people don't realize they are
taking something of value."
O'Brien gives some interesting
facts when he tells that in the 77
games by his team last year on the
home grounds, from two to three
dozen balls were used in each game.
In double-headers over four dozen
balls were used. During the train
ing season about 50 dozen balls were
used, this being outside the num
ber used in the regular league series.
Bats are always tried out and tested
on the training trips, and more than
150 bats were so tested on the train
ing grounds.
SALT LAKE GREETS DEMPSEY
Champion Dodges Crowd at Sta
tlon, but Is Caught Later.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. July 9.
Jack Dempsey disappointed a large
crowd of admirers who were waiting
his arrival at the station today. He
Jumped from the train one block from
the depot, got on a street car and im
mediately proceeded to the home of
his mother. State, county and city
officials, together with members of
the chamber of commerce and others
were on hand to greet him while a.
band played "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home." ,
After the train had pulled into the
depot and it was seen that Dempsey
was not among the passengers, sev
eral admirers Jumped into their auto
mobiles and speeded to his mother's
home. As a result, they reached the
destination ahead of Dempsey, who
after he had embraced his mother for
a moment, was compelled to accede to
their wishes and be escorted uptown
where he was busy shaking hands for
more than 30 minutes. The delega
tion of motorists then allowed him to
return home. Dempsey said he was
tired due to the long train journey
and that was the reason he evaded
the crowd at the depot.

The Northwestern National bank
team, champions of the Portland
Bankers' Baseball league, will play
the Washington Mutual bankers'
nine, champions of the Seattle Bank
ers' league, Sunday, July 17. at the
Vaughn-street grounds, for the bank
ers' championship of the northwest.
The game will start at 10 A. M.
This is the third consecutive year
that the North wertern team has won
the championship and in that time
they have won 26 out of 31 league
games. The Northwestern boys have
so far met the Seattle champs twice
and have lost on both occasions, so
this year will find the Portland team
fighting hard to try to cop the north
west title. In 1919 the National
Bank of Commerce of Seattle won
the pennant at Seattle and played
the Northwestern team at Portland
and won. 10 to 2. In 1920 the Wash
ington Mutual team of Seattle won
the pennant in the Sound City, so the
local team Journeyed to Seattle last
year and the Washington Mutual
team won, 7 to 6. in a hotly-contested
game from start to finish. This year
the winning Seattle team will Invade
Portland, as the winning teams of
both cities alternate by one year
playing at Seattle and the next year
by playing at Portland.
Portland League Shwm.
This year has toeen one of the rrtost
successful In the history of the Port
land league. All the teams are
stronger this year because of new
players. The Northwestern team
played 10 games for this 1921 season
and won eight out of the ten, losing
one game to the United States Na
tional and one to the hard-hitting
Hiibernia. team. But the Northwest
ern champs have evened matters up
by beating these two team3 each
once.
Harry Avery is manager of the
Northwestern team and took a lot of
interest in his team by having some
good stiff workouts, aided by the
coaching of George Keller. The North
western team is not hard-hitting, but
aided by Btrong fielding and steady
pitching have succeeded in winning
the pennant steadily the last three
years.
Frank Gordner is captain and first
baseman for the Northwestern boys.
Len Perry is the catcher that has
been doing the catching for the last
three years, and is a heady and
steady receiver.
Batting Record Good.
He also is quite handy with the
bat. Chet Davis, star pitcher" of the
bankers' league, has been doing most
of the twirling, assisted by Johnny
Hubach. The Northwestern infield,
composed of Gordner on first, Phil
Strack on second. Bob Gilman at
short, and Ralph Read on third, has
played a consistent game jn the field,
while the outfield, led by the bullet
pegging center fielder George Miller,
has kept things going. Big Bill
Stacey plays right field and Warde
Robinson and Francis Sax play the
left field garden. Ray Kennedy has
been the official umpire and all the
games were played duTlng the week
days, commencing at 5:30 P. M., at
h. Vauehn-street grounds.
No admission was charged, as the
games were for the love of the game
and some good keen rivalry existed
between the various banks. Six
teams composed the circuit and con
sisted of the United States National,
First National, HiDernia, iaaa at ni
ton. Federal Reserve and Northwestern.
Sport News and Comment.
While the sporting public has not made

Just What Dempsey expects to gain by
his statement that certain hostile persons
were in his corner during the big fight
in order to throw in a sponge does not
appear at the moment, it looks like cheap
claptrap. Somebody might have had a
machine gun mounted on the rim of the
arena and trained on Dempsey. but as long
as he diun t let go, wnat s tne ouus .-
If Pesky Sprott. the great halfback of last
year s undeleatea university oi t-aiuornia
football team is as great a teacner as ne

then the Bruin freshmen, who will have
him for their guide and mentor, are likely
to be a formidable organization of first
aw men. SDrott recently was signed
to coach the baby class.
The Gibbons-Carpentler match, to all
intent and purpose, is quite as much a
settled event on the sport calendar as it
can be without any of the formalities be
ing gone through. Rickard is in favor of
the match and has announced his willing
ness to put it on. That ought to be quite
enough to satisfy ring followers that the
meeting will bejataged.
