SEASIDE, Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.
Douglas Nicol of the Portland golf
club defeated. Millard Rosenblatt in a
sensational match today for the
championship of the Gearhart golf
tournament. The course was littered
with spectators who have been fol
lowing the play. The largest gallery
which has been seen on this links for
two years was on hand to witness
the startling performance of the.
young champion.
Today's play has been the best g-olf
of the whole tournament. Nicol made
a 36 on the first nine and finished
out the 18th with two over fours. He
played even more brilliantly on the
third nine by rounding the 27th with
a 34, the best he has played this sum
mer. Nlcol's victory was augmented
by the fact that he had played only
two or three times on the Gearhart
links before the tournament, while
the other players had practiced fre
quently there, and his practice play
had shown no particular evidences ot
par golf. .
Form la Wonderful.
He played In such wonderful form
this afternoon that all the spectators
were startled. Kosenblatt, had he
been playing at all true to form,
would not have been able to overcome
the lead of three up' which Nicol had
at the end of the first 18 holes, for
the latter in his afternoon round
showed no evidence of weakening.
On the contrary, he played a 34, which
brought his score for the ' 28 holes
to even fours.
Then he won the tenth hole on the
second IS and reduced the total for
the 28. holes to one under fours.
Never once allowing his opponent an
advantage, he 'played nothing but
tight golf all the way around.
Rosenblatt started in fine form on
the first nine- by playing a 37 to
Kicol's even fours, and finished the
first 18 with 78:
' Stride Lost In Third Nine.
He lost his stride on the third
nine, however, and dropped the first
two holes. Nicol then followed up h'.e
advantage and took four of the re
malning six holes and finished the
27th with a'dormie nine. Not to be
satisfied with such a lead, after dub
bing his drive, he took the tenth with
a thrilling birdie by sinking an eight-
foot putt after a beautiful recovery
on his approach shot.
Nicol won his match by playing un
falteringly all the way through. His
chip shots to the green were really
marvelous, and he putted with proles
sional-like accuracy. His drives and
fairway shots were all well controlled
jind both were examples of fine con
trol and excellent head work. Twice
he hooked drives out of bounds hut
recovered on the next hole by playing
birdie golf.
Nicol s work with the mashle a as
particularly commendable. It -was
the. mainstay of his play throughout
the match. Twice on the second
green, a rough one, he used it for a
putter, sinking his shot once for a
birdie three. His all-around club
work, though not pretty In form, was
incomparable for accuracy.
Mr. Kay's Defeat Surprise.
Another surprise of the day's play
was the defeat of Mrs. Ercel Kay by
Mrs. J. A. Dougherty. Mrs. Kay
played better than her qualifying 95,
but could not keep pace with the 92
made by her opponent. Mrs. Kay
made an excellent attempt at recov
ery after being 5 down at the end of
the first nine. She played four strokes
better than Mrs. Dougherty on the
second nine with a 45 to the latter's
49. Mrs. Dougherty's lead was cut
down to 1 up on the 17th green. She
finished 2 up, however, by winning
the last hole.
Mrs. J. C. Lang of Seattle won the
women's first flight by her defeat of
Mrs. Holt Cookingham, 2 up and 1 to
play. Mrs. Lang's win was a sur
prise to the spectators, since she has
not played much on the Gearhart
course.
Bert Levy played t'ght golf this
morning and beat H. Turner for the
championship of the men's first flight.
He shot a 79, which is low scoring
for first-flighl play.
The tournament came to a close to
day after the playing off of the
mixed foursome dandlcap matches.
-The low net and gross score was
made by Mr. and Mrs. Ercel Kay.

BY L. H. GREGORT.
LD HONUS MITZE ought to be
ashamed of himself. He made
the statement at Oakland the
other day that the Pacific Coast
league this season is faster than it
ever has been, so much faster that
the best clubs of the seasons from
1910 to 1915 couldn't even place ,ln
the first division this year.
Old Honus must be entering his
second childhood. Perhaps the strain
of managing the Oakland ball club
Is too much for him. " If Honus
actually believes the rot he is ped
dling, Del Howard should call In an
alienist and a couple of guards. But
it seems incredible that hs should
believe it.
Said Mitze. in effect: "The Pacific
"Coast league is faster this year than
it ever has been before. The best
clubs in the period from 1910 to 1915,
when it was supposed to be so fast,
wouldn't finish above the second
division now. Look at the hitting.
We had no such hitting then. Look
at Hack Miller. Point out a player
who compares with him. Nowadays
every club has several 300 hitters,
while in the old days we sometimes
didn't have any."
Look at the hitting" Is good. Yes.
look at It! With the aid of the lively
ball and restrictions on the pitchers.
no less than 45 players In the Coast
league were batting 300 or better in
last week s averages, some of tnem
never before hit better than 280 in
their lives, and never will do It again. I
Look at the home runs! lo tne ena
of last week a total of 384 homers had
been knocked over the fences of Coast
league parks in 21 weeks of play.
Nearly 20 homers a week! Players
who ordinarily have trouble hitting
them past the infield have been crasn
Ing the ball regularly outside the lot.
As another angle, only 84 players
listed as regulars have failed to bust
at least one 4-ply swat.
Look at the runs! It's an unusual
game this season that doesn't go 11
to , or 18 to 12. or 9 to 3, or 8 to 4, or
for a really low-score battle, 7 to 4.
Shades of the bushes! Can you
imagine the players of the 1910-11-12-13-14-15
period battling day after day
with scores like that, and then having
the crust to think they were playing
"fast ball"?
Honus forgot to say, "look: at the
fielding." There hasn't been much
of it to look at. Now and then a
sparkling play, o be sure, but one to
the ball game is about the average.
Whereas before the ball came at the
fielder like a cannon shot, when the
Olsons and Peckinpaughs and Cor
hans were at their best, there might
be hair a dozen to the game. Scorers
nowadays let scratches through an in
fielder go for hits, solely because of
the lively ball, that were simon-pure.
unquestionable errors then
And the base running?
Ditching;? Both are well
s-port, for everything goes with the
paid gladiators.
And the
nigh lost
arts. Remember wnen jimmy jonn-
ston, playing for San Francisco, set a
record of better than 100 steals in one
season? As for the pitching, burn
the rag. Give a Belf-respectlng hurler
like Irve Hlgginbotham, or Harry
Abies, or Gene Krapp, or Tom Seaton,
or Spider Baum, or Harry Sutor, or
Kanaka. Williams, or Hi West, or Rip
Hagerman, or Bill James, or Jack
Lively, or Vean Gregg a two or three
run lead in the days they pitched, and
the old ball game was as good as won.
Now a four-run lead, or a six-run lead
vanishes like unto mist in the sun.
Ask Duke Kenworthy ir Faciric
Coast league baseball is as fast now
as in the days of his supple youth
when he pjayed for Sacramento. Ask
old Harry Krause, who had more
trouble winning games when he was
a young fellow looking up than he
does now as an old fellow looking
down.' Ask Chet Chadbourne. Ask
Gus Fisher. Ask Art Griggs. Ask
Maurie Rath. Ask Roxie Middleton.
Ask Rube Ellis. Ask Buddy Ryan.
A league that these old, old-timers
and many others like them can still
burn up with their prowess as fast
as the one in which they had to hustle
in their youthful prime? We pass.
If that is so then the kaiser can come
back and Jess Willard is still a Wetter
man than Jack Dempsey. Bobby
Keefe has donsfed the pitching span
gles once more at San Francisco, and
perhaps to make the league still a
little faster, Chimmie de Whale and
Ham Iberg can be resurrected. Spider
Baum retired a year too soon.
v
Gil Doble has again named Ray
Hunt, the former University of Wash
ington end, who helped him last year,
as his assistant in football at Cornell.
Hunt has been in Portland most of
the summer on permanent duty with
eagle boat 38 as engineer officer. He
made the cruise on the eagle boat to
Alaska in July.
"Cornell is a tough coaching prop
osition," remarked Hum to us one
day on that cruise, "because so many
of the football men have 4 and 5
o'clock classes. There is no wav
to get them excused, either. A man
who attends Cornell has a definite
scholastic end in view and cutting
classes isn't tolerated.
"These late classes make it im
possible for, the coach to concen
trate on late afternoon practice, as
at other varsities. Last fall Doble
had some arc lights rigged up on
the field and conducted most of his
practice after dark. Needless to say,
you can't get the same results from
a workout of that kind as in day
light, "For another thing, there isn't the
big turnout of football material at
Cornell that you would expect from
the size of the institution. Mate
rial is strictly limited. I don't know
what we will have to work with this
season, but it is a cinch that most of
the candidates will be new men. We
didn't have many old Dlayers on the
team last year, but most of those we
had will be graduated this year."
Besides Hunt. Doble will have as
an assistant Clyde Mayer, acting
captain, of last year's team and right
half-back for two seasons. The Cor
nell football field has been resur-.
faced this summer and put in much
better condition than before. Ar
rangements also have been made to
Increase the seating capacity by 3000.
Football practice begins September
Have you noticed how those big
league races have tightened up? Five
days ago it. looked to be all over but
counting the world's series money for
the Pittsburg Pirates. They were
breezing along with a nice lead of 7
games over New York. Then a five
game series with their closest rivals,
who all- season have performed with
the in-and-out abandon of a group of
selling platers, and the Giants rising
to great heights, took all five. That
reduces the Pirate lead to only 2V4
games, with the season still some four
weeks to go. The Giants now have a
great chance.
Funny about those Giants. Stack
them up against a club like Fittsburg,
their rival for the pennant, and they
play over their heads. Then pit them
against a weak tail-ender like the
Phillies and they become all feet.
About the only games the Phillies
have won all season have been from
the Giants. Cincinnati, likewise, has
had an unaccountable edge over the
McGraw men, while St. Louis has
made hay out of them whether the
sun was shining or not.
The real test comes now. The Gi
ants have pulled the Pirates within
reaching distance, but can they con
tinue the lick? Pittsburg's lead has
not been maintained by sensational
playing and long strings of victories,
but by running along day after day
at a consistent rate. Her losses this
week haven't been due to poor pitch
ing, but to poor hitting. Glazner yes
terday held the Giants to eix hits, yet
lost because Nehf kept the Pirates to
only four blows.
I r the American league, Cleveland
and New York are less than a game
apart. Where the Giants have it on
Pittsburg, the Yanks seem to have it
on the Indians. Whenever they meet
the Yanks usually emerge with a lit
tle better of the deal.
But, like the Giants, the Yanks have
been playing in-and-out ball all year.
They shine with scintillant brilliance
for a time, then perform with incom
prehensible dullness. Murderers' row
Is as frequently a sewing dircle.
Cleveland, on the other hand, has
played consistently all year, but her
pitchers have cracked. Allan Sutton
Sothoron,. the one-time Beaver star,
you may have noted, has been hold
ing up the club of late. It was he in
the third game who shut off the fire
works when the Yanks had batted in
victories in the first two games ,of
their recent series. Now with both
clubs straining down th finish, class
will decide it.

tive hitting record today when he hit

If there ever was a chance for pro
fessional football to make a go in
Portland this winter the northwest
colleges have killed off that chance.
How? By the simple expedient of
scheduling a few games here of their
own.
Perhaps the possibility of a pro
fessional football eleven In Portland
was not the reason the Washington
State-California game and the Oregon-Idaho
game, will be played here,
but no doubt it was a contributing
factor. The colleges do not like pro
fessional football. They think its in
fluence demoralizing to their own
players. Even though making offers
to varsity stars before they complete
their course may be against the rules
of the professional league, the col
leges nevertheless fear some of their
players would prefer to leap - for
money than renain for glory. '
When the profeesional fooball talk
was at its height last winter and
spring Dr. J. Fred Bohler of Washing
ton State expressed to us: his hope
that nothing would come of it. Shortly
afterward he ' announced - that the
Washington State game with Califor
nia would be played in Portland.
What gave professional football
what looked like an opening here was
that the colleges had been slighting
Portland in games, and the town was
football hungry. The plan discussed
called for a league to include Los An
geles. San Francisco, Portland and
Seattle. Since then the California
baseball magnates who were father
ing the scheme have switched Interest
to a winter baseball league in Cali
fornia, to be composed of Coast league
players and youngsters, and a. few
big-leaguers as drawing cards. As
for the McCredles, who were to have
financed professional gridironing
here, they are having trouble enough
with professional baseball without
taking on football, too. The proposed
league is dead. h
Speaking of professional football,
the great and only Pete Stinchcomb of
Ohio State has joined with his prede
cessor as an Ohio State etar. Chick
Ha'rley. and signed up with the Staley
Manufacturing company's team in
Ohio. The. Staley company, for adver
tising purposes, finances a baseba'l
team in summer and a football eleven
in winter. Pete will find the pro game
a little tougher than the amateur

No race was held in 1919 er 1920,
BY GEORGE COWNE.
- Mitrie Konowaloff, the diminutive
swimming star of the Crystal Pool
Swimming club of Seattle, added an
other title to his already long list of
1921 aquatic achievements yesterday
when he won the eighth annual Mult
nomah Amatelir Athletic club mara
thon swim held on the Willamette
river. His time for the course, which
was from Windemuth to the Morrison-street
bridge, a distance of ap
proximately one and one-half miles,
was 36 minutes 14.1 seconds. The Se
attle str, who also holds the national
mile title, in addition to many Pacific
coast and northwest honors, took the
lead at the start and was never
headed. Using the crawl stroke, he
set a steady pace and held it all the
distance.
It remained, however, for Jimmie
Egan, youthful swimmer of the Doug
las Aquatio school of the Broadway
natatorium, to furnish the thrills of
the race. Egan, swimming in his first
big aquatic event against the best
paddlers of the northwest, finished
second to Konowaloff.
Egan S Trims Great Rare.
Egan put up one of the greatest
battles ever witnessed in the mara
thon swim and, coming close on the
heels of the winner, slapped the fin
ish barge just 4.4 seconds after Ko
nowaloff had touched.
In the early part of the race the
Seattle swimmer maintained a lead
of about 15 yards, which varied
slightly until the contestants passed
under the Hawthorne-avenue bridge.
At this point Egan opened up and,
apparently having plenty of reserve
force, began to crawl up on the leader.
It was Konowaloff s race, however,
and he was not to be headed. Egan'a
time was 36 minutes 19. seconds.
Egan is a protege of Instructor
George Douglas of the Broadway
natatorium and his feat yesterday in
placing a cross second to tne national
mile champion marks him as a comer
in the aquatic world. He has been
training this summer on the river at
Oak Grove under the direction of Tex
Salked.
Another local swimmer to make an
excellent showing in the marathon
was Steve Bushnell of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club, who finished
third. His time was 37 minutes 27.3
seconds. For the first half ef the race
Bushnell was crowding Egan close for
second honors, but when the latter
opened up in the final sprint the
Winged M swimmer could not hold to
the pace.
Multnomah Club Man Foarth.
Ted Aionen. Multnomah club, was
fourth, somewhat in the wake of the
three leaders, while Bennle Austin,
unattached, was fifth. Jack Pobo
chanko, Multnomah club, e warn back
stroke the entire distance and finished
sixth. The other swimmers, in the
order in which they finished, were
Louis Jolly, Douglas Aquatic school:
Ben Lombard, Multnomah club; Collie
Wheeler, Multnomah club; Dave Fall.
Multnomah club; Gurtin Carroll, Mult
nomah club; Everett Fenton, Multno
mah club, and Bill Stimple. unat
tached. All of the swimmers finished strong.
The weather was ideal and the river
calm except for a slight breeze. Both
the Hawthorne and Morrison-street
bridges were lined with spectators.
The idea of the Willamette river
marathon swim was started by Jack
Cody, swimming instructor of the
Multnomah Aitfateur Athletic club,
and the race has been held every
year since 1912 with the exception of
1919 and 1920. At first the swim
was much longer, being held over a
course from the Oregon Tacht club to
the foot of Salmon street. It -ras then
changed to a cross river swim and
back. The shorter distance this year
proved to be more popular with the
spectators, who were given a good
view of the race.
The course was well patroled. Ray
Jamison of the Portland Motorboat
club and Lew Woodard of Windemuth
furnished the launches for the officials.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eusrene.
Aug. 27. (Special.) Shy Hunting
ton, long a believer in secret football
practice, will abolish It at Oregon this
year. The coach has Just announced,
through Jack Benefiel, graduate man
ager, a plan to have bleachers con
structed on the practice field so the
student supporters may cheer the
squad during, the long practice ses
sions. Huntington believes student senti
ment is a great factor in shaping a
winning football eleven. He has de
cided, therefore, to do away with
secret practice and let the student
fans keep in direct touch with the
team at all times. It will be inter
esting to see how It works out, for
secret practice has become a sort of
sacred fetish with football coaches.
