Two 6-year-old boys who were caught stealing a swim in .the college pool Saturday evening by a local "of ficer of the peace" were chased around the slippery edge for an ex citing race until one was cornered on the ten-foot board, much to the enjoyment of the 800 spectators at the water carnival put on by Coach K. H. Kutherford. The cries of satisfaction coming from the balcony when the officer was pushed off the board by one boy lifter the other had dived in proved that the boys had the sympathy of the grandstand. One of the interesting features of the programme was a life-saving ex hibition by Joseph Hedges of Eugene, one of the division members of the Hed Cross corps of life-saving units, and an assistant. Introduction Is Kffectlve. An effective method of introducing his classes was used by Coach Ruth erford. The little girls' class marched in dived in and swam across the tank. In turn came the little boys, elementary girls, elementary boys, then the women and men, until more than 300 swimmers were "on deck." Just about that time the "peace officer" discovered a man sitting on the balcony railing. He ordered the man off and a struggle ensued, both falling into the pool. Uustav Dunkel borger. Instructor in the school of music, who happened to be fishing near by. won a hand-embroidered hathing suit for pulling both com batants out with the aid of his bam boo pole. Girls' races, men's races, human chain races girls against men and candle races. demonstrating all strokes from the American crawl to the oyster stroke, were on the pro gramme. In an old-clothes contest four men dived to the bottom, fully clothed, and undressed to bathing suits before coming up for air. I'aney IJIver In Action. All lights except those on the floor of the pool were turned out for sev eral minutes while a Hawaiian or chestra presented several selections. Only the lights twinkling up through the water and the stars twinkling through the glass roof illuminated the tank room. Diving exhibitions were started by the. smallest hoy and the smallest girl in the classes, who dived off the ten-foot board. Then came Coach Rutherford's fancy diving team, con sisting of Marguerita Livingston, Aniline ('.alt. Dan Butler and Don Livingston, all of Corvaliis. and Miss Lillian Hansen of Portland. Joe Rey voids of La Grande and Homer Hulsey of Portland, who exhibited form and poise equal to that shown by cham pions, according to critics among the spectators. Nearly every stunt on the repertoire of an expert fancy aiver was cleverly done by this class some of them school children. A canoe tilting contest between "Mush" Hjolte, giant basketball cen ter, and "Shorty" Layton resulted in the downfall of the "mighty Mush," a thrilling rescue being effected by "Kid Slick." a diminutive swimmer of the Corvaliis public schools. A fast game of follow-thu-leader. participated in by nearly every one of the 300 persons, and more Hawaiian music ended the programme. GOLF DEFINED BV BANKER Pnvid Fortran Says Old Scotch Game Is a Lifetime St inly. David R. Forgan. the Chicago banker, who learned his game in Scotland and who has done much to st imutate t he game in Chicago dis trict, has recently given a definition of polf. which is as follows: "Golf is a science the study of a lifetime, in which you may exhaust yourself but never your subject. "It is a contest, a duel or a melee, calling for courage, strategy and self control. "It is a test of temper, a trial of honor, a revealer of character. 'It affords the chance to play the man and' act the gentleman. "It means going into God's out-of-doors, getting close to nature, fresh air, exercise, a sweeping away of the mental cobwebs, genuine recreation of the tired tissues. "It is a cure for care an antidote to worry. "It includes companionship with friends, social intercourse, opportu nity for courtesy, kindliness and gen erosity to an opponent. "It promotes not only physical health but moral force." RALPH HKPIII KN, WHO RECENTLY WO.V NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RACE AT DODGE CITY, KAN. GOLF TYPES HAVE WIDER RANGE IN GREAT BRITAIN THAN IN U. S. Mark Seymour, Lord NorthcUffe's Gardener, and Hamlet Runs Small Tobacco Shop in London. NLXES TO CONTINUE PLAYING Tresident of Baseball League Says Clubs Are Solvent. TACOMA. Wash.. July 23. Rumors that the Pacific International base ball league was on its last leirs were denied here recently by Louis H. Bur nett, Tacoma. president of the organ jaation. The league will play out its lull schedule, which concludes on La bor day. "I wish to dispel these rumors, Mr. Burnett said, "for 1 am sure they do the leap; ue no good. Let me state 1 am positive every club on the cir cuit will finish with colors flying. "There have been several trying places, but every thing" is smoothed over and the crucial points passed. Juv k Kithet, the Victoria club backer, lost considerable this year, but is go inK through. The Tacoma club is in g-ooj shape. Vancouver will go through because Bob Brown, its man ager, is a good business man, and Yakima, the fourth club, is in good condition." Xo Crime to Steal Ball in Pittsburg, Pans who attpnd games at the Na tional ball park at Pittsburg may keep balls knocked into the grand stand without fear of being molested by police, according to nn order is sued by Robert J. Aldt-rdice. director of public safvty. Director Alderdice made the ruling following threatened damage suits against police who placed three fans under arrest for re fusing to throw balls back onto the diamond. Policemen stationed in the park are there to preserve order and protect the public, the director said. Hereafter any action taken against fans for refusing to give up balis must be ta k en by park employes, Aid ex -dies Mid THE American Golfer calls atten tion to the wider range of golf tpcs tn Great Britain than in the United States, this applying espe cially to occupations. Over here we get largely the young collegian or the ex-colle ian or the business man or the professional man who has taken to golf as his main recreation. Things are different in Great Brit an. Here are a few examples. When Fred Wright was matched against Mark Seymour in the first round at Hoy lake it was found that Seymour was J-ord Northcliffe's gardener. Yet in spite of this fact he was one of the best amateurs in the empire. When Bobby Jones was almost ousted by Hamlet, it was discovered that Hamlet ran a small tobacco shop well off the regulation beat of trade. When Ouimet was beaten by Hodg son it was learned that the latter was another artisan golfer with practical ly no income above his living ex penses and yet one with a long con nection with the game. And then came the final winner, Willie Hunter, postoffice clerk, and son of the Deal professional. Fancy Income Not Needed Abroad. These are types well known in Brit ish golf but which the A. G. points out are almost unknown over here. It is merely further proof of the wider range which golf covers in Great Britain where a. fanny income isn't necessary for extended time to play. The dues there are light, often a mere pittance. "There Is time to play 18 holes after S o'clock at night after one has finished his work in the garden, on the farm or at any other Job," says the A. G. So it is therefore a better thing for golf. The high cost of the game is still its one great weakness in the United States where public courses are entirely too few and too far apart and where there is very little encouragement for the poor man to follow the game. Unkn ClOKcd Sunday. At the same time it should be re marked that in the United States there is a generalness of Sunday play, which goes far to offset the evening advantage enjoyed by the Britisher. In Scotland, owing to the Sunday law, the links are shut to golfers one day in seven. Attention may .also be profitably called to the iftct . that in the west there has been a development of golf ers on the public links which attests the value of the city municipal cours es in producing fine players. Richard E. Bockenkamp, 21 years old, who re cently won the championship of the St. Louis district, is a public links product, as is James S. M anion, an- The Cadillac has always stood, and stands now, the world over, in a class all its own. In Europe England especially no other American car is ever mentioned, or even considered, in comparison with the Cadillac. And in America, you know the overwhelming preference in which it is held by owner and non-owner alike. And yet, strangely enough, those cars which strive for com parison with the Cadillac have always been, and are now, higher in price. So there is a double sense a greater and a lesser sense In which the Cadillac is clearly the most notable motor car value In the world today. The greater value-of the Cadillac on which Its reputation rests is its superior performance, and that immunity from the need of constant tinkering, adjustment, overhauling and repair which renders it unique among motor cars in economy. i This is the true value-test beside which the lower first price the Cadillac owner enjoys is of little or no consequence. Nevertheless, it is pleasant for the Cadillac owner to know that in first cost, as well as after cost, he enjoys the greatest motor car value in the world today.

In Eddie Loos, now of Chicago, the Van Cortlandt park city linRs can claim to have brought out one of the best pros of the country An interesting liBrht on this differ ence in golfing types of the two coun tries was thrown in 1912 by the an nouncement of Abe Mitchellr.who had Just finished as runner-up to John Ball in the British amateur cham pionship, and had entered for the L-nited States amateur at Garden City. Mitchell did not cross the water, yet he did not officially withdraw so that up to the last day or so it was thought that he might enter the championship. He was even paired ! with Philip V. Carter, then the Met i ropolitan junior champion. Mltehell Alleced Rranon. Some tinie later Mitchell was quoted as saying that he did not cone to America because he had been told that, being a plain workingman, he would not be welcome in the Ameri can championship. Jt has never been disclosed from whom Abe received this information. A few months later Mitchell became a professional. He is now in this country with George Duncan and may ascertain at first hand whether his alleged views as to American ideas of artisan golf ers was correct. The multitude of golf courses in Britain, where the charges are only nominal, has a great deal to do with the more varied classes of players. In this country it has long been con sidered that golf is a rich man's game. BET RETURNED SURPRISES Gus. Wilson, Carpcnticr's Trainer, Gets $250 Just Like Finding It. Gus Wilson, trainer for Georges Carpentier, had a good laugh the day after the Dempsey fight. He had gone down to Great Neck to send a cable to his iamily in Paris, when a messenger boy stopped him in front of the railroad station, saying: - "Mr. Wilson, I have a telegram for you. Gus tore open the en'elope. believ ing it to be a message for Georges. Instead it was J'J50 in bills. The week before Gus placed the money with a man in Great Neck to bet at 3 to 1, and, believing it had been placed, paid no more attention to it. "They are honest people here In Great Neck." eaid Gus when he read the message, which said: "Dear Mr. Wilson: Unable to place bet; am returning your money. Joe." EIGHTH OLYMPIAD PLANNED French Government and City ol Paris to Furnish Funds. Organization of the eighth Olympiad In 1924, which has been awarded to Paris, will be entirely in the hands of the French committee acting under the general direction of a central com mittee, notwithstanding the fact that the French government and the city of Paris will furnish the necessary funds. Gaston Vidal. under-secretary of state for physical education as serts: 'The Intention is to make it a great manifestation of sport, such as never has been seen before." M. Vidal added. The. site for the stadium has not yet been chosen, but In all probability it will be on the old wall of Paris, in the neighborhood of the Bois de Bou logne. . Memorial Planned for O'Loughlin. Directors of the American league have voted a fund for a memorial to the late "Silk" O'Loughlin. one of the most famous of major league umpires. The site and nature- of the memorial are still under discussion. The "Strike tuh!" of O'Loughlin was famous thronghout American league parks for years and it is said the decisions of O'Loughlin received fewer protests from players than those of any other major league umpire. . I LLA C 2 DAY SPEEDFEST SUITED MOTORCYCLE RACES AT ROSE CITY SPEEDWAY AUGUST 6-7. M-eet Sponsored by Over the Top Post, 81, Veterans of Foreign Wars; Proceeds for Band. A two-day speedfest of motorcycle races is slated for the Rose City speedway on Saturday and Sunday, August 6 and 7. Over the Top Post, SI, Veterans of Foreign Wars, is sponsoring the meet and the proceeds will be used for the purchase of uni forms for the post's band of 90 pieces. This band is the largest of its kind on the Pacific slope. F. 13. Holland, an expert on race tracks, is at work on the track now and declares he will have it in the best shape it has ever been for these races. The rough spots are being taken out and the track oiled. Every thing will be in tip-top shape, so far as the track is concerned, to make the coming race meet the best ever held on a local track: Among the many motorcycle racing stars who will compete in the races is Ralph Hepburn, winner of the re cent national championship race at Dodge City, Kan. .in winning the Cornhusker classic, as this race is called, Hepburn broke the world's records for one, two and three hun dred miles. Hepburn is a native of Los Angeles and this is his first appearance on a race track in the northwest. He is 24 years old and has been riding in fast company on southern and eastern tracks for the past seven years. He broke into the limelight a couple of years ago by hanging up a then new world's record for the 200-mile mark on. the Ascot park track. rue rec ord he made at that time stood until this year, when he -lowered his own mark. An application for a sanction for the coming races has been forwarded to the Motorcycle and Allied Trades association, which is the national boardof control of motorcycle com petition. This will insure the accept ance of any recorcfc which may be made in the meet. ' x Entry blanks have also been for warded to all of the fastest riders in the country, and many of them are expected to compete in the coming races. The world's record is 246, made by C. K. Armstrong of San Francisco in 1914. C. W. Schleborn of Chicago was third in the individual shooting. Fol lowing Springfield in the team match came San Francisco. Seattle, Port-' land and Denver, which indicates that the west has something on the east in the revolver shooting line. 1LEALTH AND DIGNITY SOLD Dempsey Victory Called Culmina tion of Triumphant Brutality. The president of the Spanish acad emy, Jose Ortega Muhilla, gives his views in the newspaper "A B C" on the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. "The victory of Dempsey over Car pentitr." he writes, "constitutes the culmination of triumphant brutality. The second of July, 1921,, will be fa mous in the annals of barbarity. "Two men sell their health and dig nity to a curious multitude which pays them to destroy themselves with punches," continues Senor Munilla. "They do not fight because they hate. Salaried combats represent the most infamous prostitution, those who speculate thereon represent the vilest lust, while those attending rep resent the stupidest cruelties. '"Phe notable publicity given to this seems to Indicate an intention to ex port similar spectacles to Europe. We lack just that." ALABAMA MAX HIGH GUN T. K.
