Henry Steveni, playing: a brilliant
uphill same, defeated A. D. Norris
yesterday afternoon on the Irvlngton
club courta, three sets out of five.
and thereby woa the city tennis
championship In men's singles. After
losing- the' first set.. 4-6. and the sec
ond, 0-6, Stevens took the next three
sets, 8-6, 6-1, 6-1.
Both men played hard in the first
set. Norris took advantage of every
opportunity, while Stevens made sev
eral costly errors. The winner weak
eijed his game by not driving:, but
playing the ball with a chop stroke,
the game in which Norris is the more
proficient.
The same was true In the second
set, which Norris won without being
scored against. The sun . also had a
good deal to do with Steven's poor
showing in this set Norris played a
lobbing game. With the sun in his
eyes. Stevens missed many that were
apparently easy, but which he could
not see.
The third set, the hardest fought of
the match, went'to Stevens, 8-6. With
the score 6-3 against him Norris came
back hard and took the next three
games. That ' made the games 5-6
against Stevens, but he rallied des
perately and by clever placing kept
the ball well out of Norris' reach and
took the next two games and set
In Ue 12th game the score stood
40-16, Norris" favor. Another point
and he would have been champion.
Although the more experienced of the
two, Norris became nervous in this
crisis and Stevens not only won this
game but the next one also, a love
game.
In the fourth Set, after a brief rest,
Stevens started, with a rush and took
three games out of four. With the
score 40-10 against him in the fifth
game of the set Norris slipped and
twisted his ankle. Dr. E. P. Stein
metz gave first aid, and the veteran
returned, amid the applause of the
gallery, which was the largest of the
tournament.
Norris hobbled through this and the
final set. He missed many shots he
would have had otherwise. Although
Stevens offered to play the remainder
of the match today, Norris did not
want to disappoint the crowd and
went through with it
Stevens took the fourth set 6-3,
and the last one, 6-1. His placing
was remarkably accurate.
Only one double fault was made In
the last two sets, and that one by
the loser.
Miss Stella Fording won the wom
en's singles championship by defeat
ing Mrs. W. I. Northrup In two
straight sets, 6-2. 6-3. Misa Fording
wa9 hard pressed by Mrs. Northrup.
The latter relied on her driving
power, while Miss Fording played a
chopping game her usual style.
The matches were much closer than
the score indicates. Miss Fording
won most of the games after they
had gone to deuce.
Mary Ann Bishop and Dorothy Et
ttnger, 16-year-old girls, threw a
fright into Miss Fording and Mrs.
Northrup in the women's doubles.
Twice the winners led by a large
score, only to be tied by the girls.
Miss Fording and Mrs. Northrup were
too much for the novices, however,
and won the sets by scores of 6-4, 6-3.

The Beavers made the Seattle Suds
happy yesterday by dropping two
games to them. The first game was
more or less legitimately lost, ( to
4, on Seattle clouting In the pinches,
but it was nothing short of a crime
to foozle the second one, which went
ten innings, 2 to 1.
Ralph Coleman, the Oregon Aggie
youth, yielded the Suds only two hits
In nine innings of that game, while
Francis was pounded for 11 hits and
gave sin walks besides. Yet at the
end of the ninth the score was a tie
despite the disparity in the bitting,
and in the tenth the Suds turned in
some big-league stuff while the
Beavers were pulling bush-league
strategy. So no wonder it was an
other Seattle victory.
Eldred opened the tenth for the
Suds with a ground single to left. It
was his second poke of the game and
the third all told off Coleman. The
Beavers closed In for a sacrifice,
whereupon Kenworthy crossed every
body with a beautiful hit-and-run
through short, just where Grantham
had been an instant before, nntil he
started to cover second as Eldred tore
from first Eldred had such a good
start that he went all the-way to
third.
Coleman pitched his head off to
Lafayette, who could only pop out.
Big Tub Spencer was' up and there
isn't a better pinch hitter in this
league. Instead of ordering a little
strategy and having Coleman walk
Spencer, thus filling the bases for a
good chance at a double play with
such weak hitters as Stumpf and
Francis coming up, McCredie let Cole
man pitch to him. Spencer promptly
nicked a single through short and
Eldred walked in with the run that
won, ' The side was retired without
additional scores, but the damage was
accomplished, for Portland went out
one, two. three.
Up to tffat tenth Coleman had the
Suds absolutely baffled, except in the
second, when Eldred hit for three
bases and scored on Kenworthy's out.
In the meantime the Beavers were
slamminer Francis hard when nobody
was on, but doing nothing as soon as
they got the sacks loaded.
The first game went to the Suds
because they hit Sam Ross when they
needed the runs. The Beavers tore
into Jacobs in the fourth for four
runs on five hits. That tied the More,
but Sam couldn't hold it there.

CHICAGO, Sept, 10. A quintet of
American league sluggers is staging
one of the greatest batting races since
years ago when Napoleon Lajoie of
Cleveland and Ty Cobb of the Tigers
fought it out for the league leader
ship with only a fraction of a point
separating them at the end of the
season.
Harry Heilmann and Ty Cobb, the
Detroit stars, are holding first and
second positions as the final stretch Is
started, with George Sisier, the St
Louis idol and last year's champion,
putting on an attack which has car
ried hire into fourth place, ahead of
Tris Speaker, leader of the world's
champions, and which threatens to
carry him to the top again.
During the past two weeks Sisler
has hit for an average of just below
.bOO, having cracked out 32 hits In 69
times at bat. He is just four points
behind Babe Ruth of the Yankees,
who is in, third place.
Heilmann's average la 403. with
Cobb trailing with .390. Ruth Is
smashing the ball for a mark of .383,
while Sisler is hitting .379. Speaker,
who was tied with the St. Louis star
a week ago, is fifth with .369. Tobin,
St. Louis, .361; Jacobson, St. Louis,
.344; Veach, Detroit, .843; E. Collins.
Chicago, .342; Williams, St. Louis, .341;
Strunk, Chicago, .340.
Roger Hornsby, the St. Louis star
who last year led the National league
in batting with an average of .370 for
the year, promises to repeat this sea
son. He is the only regular In the
league hitting above the .400 mark,
his latest average showing him trav
eling at a .406 clip.
Hornsby Is safely out in front in
total bases, hla 210 hits giving him a
total of 333 bases. His hits include
33 doubles, 15 triples and 20 homers,
the latter being Just two circuit drives
behind George Kelley of the Giants,
who is leading with 22.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept 10. (Spe

turned out yesterday for football
practice for the first flme this sea
son on the new grounds under the
supervision of Coach Milho-lin and as
sistants Miller, McCroskey and Ful-
lerton. The boys were divided Into
five aquads and started working hard
all over the big lot. The first game
of the season will probably be played
with Puyallup at Puyallup September
24, Principal Leland P. Brown said.
Either October 1 or S the Aberdeen
team will play the high school on the
Olympla gridiron.
Letter men from last year out for
practice last night were Captain La
Chance, H. Strock, Berlin, Koenig,

Saturday at Centralia the South

officials will decide upon a schedule
of games for the season.
BY ROYAL BROUGHAM.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) William, the iron duke, is
to have his day. The stout-hearted
little boss of the Indians will be
honored at a Kenworthy day one week
from Wednesday, at which time the
Los Angeles club will be guests of the j of It, not to mention the remunera
ball president. Is Interested In the
plan, and if Portland will stick in a
team, the league seems assured.
There are a flock of former stars
in this section who would be tickled
to don the moleskins again. Most of
the college boys never grow tired o
th3 game and would play for the fu
tribe in the local yard.
Whether or no he succeeds In his
pursuit of the bunting, the duke is
one of the fightin'est managers that
ever charged an umpire. Kenworthy
has something up in the old noodle to
go with his aggressiveness, and the
Seattle owners appreciate the work
of their skipper. Not only is he keep
ing his team in the race, but Ken
worthy is hitting and fielding splen
didly. Yep, the duke has a day com
ing to him, and if the weather man
is kind Wendesday, September 21 will
be quite an occasion.
When Bill succeeded Clyde Wares
as manager last winter the critics
were skeptical and the wise ones
shook their heads.
"Nice fellow, Kenworthy," they ad
mitted, "but a manager well, the
duke is going to find the path-rough
and rocky."
But Kenworthy is getting away
with the Job. Unless something un
expected happens between now and
October, the Indians will be up among
the first three, and a lot of the credit
will go to the manager. Not a word
has been said about next season on
either side, but it's a pretty safe
wager that next spring will see the
duke again at the helm, which is as
it should be.

The boxing bugs are still chatting
about the nerve of one Frankie
Rogers, a local welterweight.
Frankie is only an average fighter
can't hit much, and an awkward
sort of chap in his ring actions. The
other night he fought Travie Davis, a
real classy boy. Davis figured to
win hands down, and when he popped
Rogers in the second round and
dropped him for a short count, the
dopesters said, "I told you so."
It was here that Rogers displayed
his courage. Badly shaken, he at
tempted to rise. Davis chopped a
vicious right hand to his chin and
Rogers was out on his feet. But some
how or other he stayed through the
round, the bell saving him from a
knockout.
Between the rounds Butch Erb, his
manager, examined his jaw and saw
that it was fractured. He started to
lead his boy out of the ring. But
Frankie said nix. He knew he would
only get one crack at Travie Davis
and he was going to make the most of
it, broken jaw or no broken jaw. And
up he came with the bell.
The fans were knocked right off
their seats by Frankie s come-back.
Whirling at Davis with both hands,
he fought the champion with a fury
that Davis Could not halt Through
the third and fourth Rogers forced the
fighting, and he earned a draw. That's
pretty good work for a guy witn a
broken jaw.
Frankie was taken to the hospital
after the bout.
They're talking of a professional
football league for Pacific northwest
cities. Bill Klepper, the. Seattle b auc
tion that would come their way,
George Smith, a former Washingto
captain; Bill Grimm, Dode Brinker
and many other Seattle boys are In
terested in the project and are plug
ging for it to go through.
It is planned to play a game each
Sunday. . Spokane, Tacoma or som
other town would enter teams. The
professional game is flourishing in
the east and maybe it would go good
here, although the organizers, cannot
expect much help from the college
managers and coaches. It's a cinch
these latter will oppose the plan.

The Pacific International league
season closed last week and all
hands breathed a sigh of relief.
For a class B circuit, the P. I. league
was pretty wobbly. In the old days
of the Northwestern league It was a
high-class minor organization. Char
ley Schmutz. Weiser Dell and one or
two others who played In that league
were talking it over this summer and
everybody agreed that it was the
fastest class B circuit in the country
along about ten or more years ago.
But the Pacific Internationals were
lucky to finish the season. The games
were not drawing, Vancouver espe
daily proving a failure. Bob Brown
peddled a- few players and got out
from under, but got in bad with the
major-league owners by so doing. Bob
sold Jim Riley, the hockey star, to
the St. Louis Browns. Jim is a swell
hockey player, but he hasn't yet
learned where first base Is in the St
Louis park. He played In one or two
games, struck out three or four times.
booted three or four and then was on
his way. And now the scouts are off
Brown and his league.
Frank Patriok, the hockey czar,
sent down word the other day that
there would be no changes In man
agement this year. Pete Muldoon,
who used 'to handle the Portland club
will be back at the helm here, with
Les Patrick handling Victoria and
Cook helping Frank Patrick at Van
couver.
Muldooa hints that there will be
some new faces on the local. club this
winter, which is pleasing news to the
fans. The same team has represented
Seattle for several years and the pa
trons would welcome a few new fig
ures. Frank Purcell, an ancient gladiator'.
Lonnie Austin, and a dozen other for
mer knights of the prize ring are get
ting ready to return to the game. If
Denver Ed Martin can knock out a
guy in fwo rounds, then they ought
to be able to make gome dough fight
lrg, they reason. Martin's feat was
quite a joke up here among the boys
who used to root for Ed when he was
good about 15 years ago.
The funny part of it Is Martin must
have shown a lot of class, as Dan
Salt came back with the story that
the colored man fought a great bout I
against Hector.
The' first call of the moleskins last
week was answered by every high
school in the city. The newly formed
Portland Public School Football
league is'composeu of the seven Port
land high schools. Lincoln and James
John did not make their coaching se
lections, although their teams have
been practicing several days.
Coach Quigley, the Jefferson men

football togs when first official prac
tlce was held Wednesday. Quigley
is so set on winning the league chani
pionship that he had his letter men
turn out for practice a week before
