SEVERAL IN GOOD FORM Westerman and Murphy Are Llke ly Championship Material, Judging From Records. Next In importance to the Oregon state tennis championship comes the center championship for boys. Jun iors and girls. This event was scheduled to open tomorrow morning on the Irvington club court but owing to th crowd ed condition of the courts the tour nament will be postponed one day, which will let playera in the Irving ton club spring handicap use the courts Monday. On Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock the center cham pionship will be launched. Age is the only condition as to eligibility for there are not tennis professionals in Oregon. Boys must not have . reached the age of 15, juniors must not have reached the age of 18 before March 1. There is but one class in the girls' event and all girls not 18 before March 1 are eligible to play. Champ Materia Probable. Oregon is sure to find her future champions among these young con tenders for this center champion ship. Phil Neer, .present intercol legiate champion, worked his way up by first winning the bays' event, then the junior event and the fol lowing year the state championship and later the national intercol legiate title. He now stands at the head of the list as the best ten nis player in the Pacific northwest and he has not yet reached his 21st birthday. The winners among the boys and juniors will be sent to Taconia to compete with the winners of the other seven centers in the Pacific northwest, and the winners of the junior event in Tacoma will be sent to Boston to represent the Pacific northwesu in the national junior championship. Portland will be well represented this year. Isadore Westerman will be hard to head off. He won Port land's junior championship in both 1920 and 1921. In 1920 he won the right to go to New York by beat ing all the Pacific northwest lads in Spokane. In 1921 he again won in Portland, but lost at Victoria in the final play off. It is fair to say, how ever, that Westerman's game last year was not up to form, due to a long illness. This year It is different for he Is making an enviable record. Any boy who can take four athletic letters at Jefferson high school is a fine athlete and that is what Westerman did in the school year just ended. He is fast, hits hard and has a fine service. Murphy lo Make Good Showing. Eddie Murphy will put up a great battle for the title. He is not as finished a player as Westerman, but is the greatest fighter that ever stepped on an Oregon tennis court. He has an ideal tennis temperament, for nothing short of an earthquake and a cyclone, both coming at once, will take his mind off his job when he is playing a tennis match. His service is rathey'slcf and has little sting, but he is a fine athlete. Young Swan will be here from Vancouver. Wash., and possibly sev eral entries from the Willamette valley cities. In the boys' event there are many contenders. Thus far there are twice as many boys entered as in either of the other events, whereas m the first Portland center cham pionship it was hard to scare up more than half a dozen boys who would enter the contest. In the girls event there will be some interesting matches. Dorothy Mtinger, last year's champion and winner of the interscholastic for t 1 ,w,n sive a sood account of herself. Betty Hatch is playing a tine game, and so are many others. Mr. Goss Is Manager. The tournament will be under the management of Walter A. Goss sectional delegate to the United States Lawn Tennis association. George Eisman, chairman of the junior committee for the Irvington club, will be in direct charge at the club. In view of the postponement un til Tuesday, entries will not close until 6 o'clock P. M. Monday. En tries may be made at the Irvington club, the Multnomah club or at the office of Walter A. Goss, 417 Corbett building. George Eisman will not schedule any matches during the Rose Fes tival parades but the players will have to play at the time scheduled. Each contestant will be required to state his or her age before start ing the match and any boy or girl who intentionally makes a false statement will be disqualified by the" Portland Lawn Tennis association and will be barred from competing in any Portland tournament dur ing 1922. KNOCKOUT SAVES DOPESTERS Ted Lewis Obliges Statisticians by Losing to Carpentier. . Ted Lewis, by getting himself knocked out so quickly by Georges Carpentier, has saved old Jack Brit ton a lot of mental strain and ex pert figuring. Had Lewis won it would have made Britton most any thing he wanted to be in the way of a champion, according to the com plicated method present-day boxers have of figuring their possibilities. In fact, it might have scrambled the pugilistic dope to a point where it could no longer be recognized. For instance, Britton has defeated Lewis several times by knockouts, decisions and oratory. Then Lewis went over home and won the wel terweight and then the light-heavyweight championship of E n g 1 a n d. Had Lewis beaten Carpentier, who is the light-heavyweight champion of the world, Britton might easily have figured himself into the light-heavy-weight championship. Then if the Leonard-Britton thing ultimate ly came.off and Benny had won but what's the use, if this line of reasoning were continued we'd be howling for a Leonard - Dempsey bout for the heavyweight champion ship.

Ex-Cliainpion of British Isles Said to Have Been One of World's , Great Weight Artists. Press dispatches from Belfast, Ireland, last week announced the death of Dennis Horgan. To the present generation of ath letes that means little, but to the old-timers ( the death of Jlorgan means the passing of one of the greatest shot putters the world had kjiown prior to those great weight putters, the late Ralph xRose and Pat McDonald. Horgan at one time held all shot putting records for England, Scot land and Ireland and still holds the Scotch 36-pound shot put record of 47 feet 1 inch, made as late as 1912, and the English record of 46 feet 5 inches, made, in 1894. He also held the Irish record, but this was taken from him in 1909 by Ralph Rose. The name of. Dennis Horgan from 1893 to 1912 on any European pro gramme was enough to pack the stands. He was one of - the most popular and gentlemanly of ath letes. His specialty was the snot put, but he also excelled at other weight events. His great name was made with the 16-pound shot. From 1893 to 1912 he won the English championship 13 times, took second to Ralph Rose in the 1908 Olympic games at London, and in. that time won the shot put titles of Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as Eng land. Though Horgan's best record was 47 feet 1 inch, it must be taken into consideration that Engysh shot put ters never made such a study of this event as the Americans. Horgan's marks were remarkable in their day and when he made his Scotlsh rec ord in 1912 he had been in active competition exactly 20 years. Up to 1900 Horgan's best put had been 46 feet 5 inches in the Scot ish championships in 1894, yet from AlbnJbc I -I . : . mr ONLT AMEOiCAM WINCES r I AM going to put down a number of things that a golfer should do oi not do in playing the game, which will serve as a lesson in a nutshell. These tips are worth remembering and pasting in the oldJ golf cap. The first thing, which I consider of utmost - importance, is in the stance. Spread your feet well apart in a position where you will feel the greatest power in making the shot. Grip the club firmly, but not too tightly, in making- the back swing. The body should not be too rigid at any time, as this will tend to spoil a golf shot quicker than any thing "else. ' ' Relax instead of tightening up or stiffening the body during the ad dress of the ball. The waggle of the club, which is a preliminary to hitting the ball, is done as a rule to get an easy, comfortable position and for the purpose of relaxation. As the club goes back it will also descend. This should be remem bered at all times and the move ment should be made with more or less deliberation. The golfer who swings back too fast-will ruin 10 per cent of his shots at least,! and maybe more. If the movement is done slowly it is better, but one must guard against this also, as too slow a motion is often just as harmful. Overawing Bad Fanlt. The. club should be taken back to a position as far as the left shoulder and no further. Over swinging is a bad habit and hard to correct after one plays it for any length of time. To correct over swinging, straighten out the left arm more in the backswing. This will prevent bringing the harfds too high ana too close to the body. Start the downward stroke with out any jerky movement that might tend to throw it out of its track. Putting the power into the blow too soon is ruinous to perfect rhythm and a successful shot. The power in the blow should begin when the head of the club is about opposite the elbow. From that point down one can increase the speed with all the effort he possesses. But care should be taken , to So that part of the swing with the arms and wrists. ' The body must not take an active part in the swing (except in the natural unwinding of the pivot) until the ball has been hit and started on ' its way down the course. Here are a few "dori'ts" that should come in useful. Don't bend the left knee in to ward the" right. Let the knee point to the ball instead. This has a great lot to do with hitting cor rectly ag it helps keep the shoulders in their proper place. Don't let the left foot rest on the left to right Harry Calkins, shortstop; second base. - 1908 to 1912 he many times exceeded this in meets, his best effort of 47 feet 1 inch being in 1912. The English shot record and the world's in 1888 was 4& feet 7 inches, held by that other great shot putter, G. R. Gray. Horgan started in 1893 and year by year c. ept up on Gray's record, and In 1S95 broke it with 44 feet 3 inches. From that day to 1912 he "was to the world at large what Ralph Rose and Pat McDonald were in later years. His form with the shot was good, but not what could be called per fect. ' Like all the big-weight men. Hor gan had a long and active life in competitive athletics. His career only proves what has often been said, that a weight man can outlast a track man in competition. GOLFERS KNEE IS BLAMED Chick -Evans Announces Cause of Slicing on Links. CHICAGO, June 17. The primary cause for slicing, the cardinal fault of most golfers, has been discovered by Chick Evans, formerly national open and amateur champion, who charges the defect to the action of the left knee. Evans' observations lead him to believe, he says, that the flexing of the left knee at the start of the downward swing causes the body to get into the stroke ahead of the arms, so that the club head comes dragging through after the hands, which causes the face of the club to meet the ball at an angle, caus ing the slice. J Canadian Crictelers Make Trip. Norman Seagram of Toronto will take at his own expense a team of Canadian cricketers to England this summer. The party will leave Mon day for Southampton July 19,., ar riving July 27. They will return to Montreal September 8. ; ' German Nags to Run. The Baden Trotting association in Germany, it is announced, will dis tribute 30,000,000 marks for harness races this year. . Reduced to real money, this foots up less than $100, 000, which, however, is more than any American track will distribute in purses. " tt tr OSiriCM A9ITJ OF BRITISH OPIs toe in the back swing. The heel should come up an inch or two and the leg be supported on the ball of the foot. Dont Lift Your Head. Don't retard the progress of the club after the impact. The stroke then, instead of being finished, really has only begun. The club head must be sent on through after the ball as far as the arms will permit. Don't confuse the follow through with the finish of the stroke. The follow Jhrough has to do with the clubhead sticking to the ball or in close proximity to it. The finish of the swing is that graceful sweep of the club upwards to a position in the back. Most good swings finish far around. Don't lose your balance and top ple over as the ball is hit. This is a sure sign' that something has gone wrong somewhere along the line. Don't finish the stroke with the weight on the right foot. This is a very bad fault and conclusive proof that the body has not done its work properly. The finish should be on the left foot almost entirely. One can see this plainly if he will observe the pictures of experts after they have hit the ball. . Don't lift the head before com pleting the stroke, or that portion of the stroke that sends the ball away. This is one of the most im portant "Dont'a" of all; though everything else one does in making a stroke might be" perfect, lifting the head a wee bit too soon can spoil it all. As this is the main thing to guard against; surely there must be a way to teach a pupil how to avoid such a simple mistake. There have been many remedies suggested, and all worthy ones, yet lifting the head is the common fault of all golfers, champions as well as duffers. The most common remedy is the suggestion as old as the game itself: Keep your eyes on the ball! This was the first way a duffer was told to correct this fault. Some think that if one keeps his eye glued to the ball he can lift his head, 'but that is not true, because when the head comes up the hands are pulled up at the same time. The head might be lifted several inches, but to spoil' a shot the hands need only be lifted a half inch or less plenty to top any shot. Other suggestions to correct lift ing the head are useful and sen sible. One says: "Place the foot on the spot before looking up to see where the ball lands." Another says: "Try to keep your eye on the ground just back of the ball.1 Another says: "Listen for -the ball to drop on the green before lifting the head or taking the gaze off the ground." This latter, of course, is for approaching. All are sound and should be remembered. (Copyright by tbj Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Frank Drew, thlrS base) Martin : r POP GEEflS YET ON TURF OLDEST? DRIVER ON GRAND CIRCUIT HAS NEW STABLE. " Fanions Reirtsnicn Now Gathering . at North Randall for Cam paign Which Opens. July 3. CLEVELAND, O., June 17. Ed ("Pop") Geers, the "Grand Old Man of the Harness Turf," has reached North Randall from his Memphis training quarters to put on the fin ishing touches for the 1922 Grand Circuit campaign" which begins at North Randall . July 3. Aged "71, Geers is the oldest, driver on the Graind fcireuit." Hale and hea'rty he also trains his own horses. . "Pop" has virtually a new stable this year, all but two being trotters. Familiar to Grand Circuit fans are his Sanardo, Peter June and Utah Peter June, with a mark of 2:04 1-4, is his leading trotter.- Geers declared he expects; to be .seen on the Grand Circuit- at least ten more years. The arrival of h.is stable brings the total horses now at Randall up to 470. The stables of Walter Cox, Lon McDonald and several other promr- nent drivers are still to come. Many of the famous Grand Cir cuit reinsmen already are here, hav ing aarived preceding the opening of the 1922 harness season, which was ushered in in the greater Cleve land district with the meeting at the North Randall half-mile track June 5. Among stables quartered here now are those of Johnny Thomas, Char ley Valentine, Dick McMahon, Fred Edman, Fred Egan, Sep Palin, Ben Whitehead, Tommy Berry, Fred GUyetteT Jj'rank Phillips, Nat Rav Harry Stokes, Marvin Childs, Will Squire, Will Rosemire and Will Caton. The latter two are handline the Pastime stable. Caton havine re cently returned from Russia. mat the horses are in exception ally fine condition for this time of the year is indicated by races on the Sandusky half -mile track, which just ended. Before the first of June Lenora Watts of the North Caro lina stable of R. B. Plaxico had bea ten the 2:10 mark. She was pressed by Clyde the Great, driven by Clyde Limiline of Louisville, Ky. i GOLFER SHOULD NOT AVORRY Fretting and Attempting Impos sible Loses Many Matches. Lack' of good Judgment and at tempting the almost impossible has lost more golf matches for both good and fair golfers than anything else. It is good philosophy to for get the missed shot and think about making the next one a good one. One day In an important match Walter Hagen, the former open champion, hooked his tee shot out of bounds said someone sympathized with him, and his reply was: "All I have to do is hole a long putt and I will get it back." This showed trat he was not worried, and sure enough on the second hole follow ing he holed a putt from 30 feet. Walking to the next tee he said to his friend: "See, I got it back already." There is ( nothing worse than pressing your shot to .'try to make up for a bad one that you Just played: sometimes the results are very disastrous. If we could train ourselves to forget badly played shots and hope to even It up by holing a long putt or sticking an approach dead to the pin, we 'would lower our score and make the game much easier mentally. The moral is "Forget the bad ones and concen trate on making good ones." FATHER WON TO FOOTBALL Parent Sees Future Star Block Punt and Begins Cheering. Barney Friberg, who plays right or third for the Cubs at odd times, was a football star in his younger days, being with Lynn English High of Massachusetts. In a fanning bee at Sullivan, Ind last week while the Bruins were 'waiting for the Cincinnati train, the boys switched over to football and) Swede" Young strom, the great Dartmouth and Buffalo pro guard, was mentioned. "I remember when Swede played his first game for Waltham high," said Friberg. ' "It was a year or so after I broke in. His parents were dead1 set against his competing. "One day Toungstrom's father heard his boy was intending to play against one of the state high school teams and started for the field to stop him. He happened to get there just as Swede was blocking a punt, a specialty at which he had no peers in his varsity days. "The crowd was cheering for the lad. Forgetting all about his re solve, Swede's father found himself yelling' with the rest and cheering him on." That was the last of the I opposition." , Soccer Memorial Erected. Hearts of. Midlothian, one of the great soccer football teams of Scot land, recently funveiled a memorial in Edinburgh to members of the famous' "Maroons," who heard the final whistle of the great referee while fighting the Huns in the re cent world war. UP-STATE FOLK ENROL 1 Waverley, Portlanl and Munlcl- pal Clubs Also to Have PJayers in Contest. A record entry is expected in the annual Oregon state golf champion ships at the -Tualatin Country club July 12 to 15, it was said, yesterday by Dr. J. D. Sternberg, chairman of the tournament committee. Besides entries from the Waverley Country club, the Portland Golf club and the Eastmoreland Municipal club. at least 100 players are expected from other clubs in the state and northwest. . : Last year the Oregon state meet, foilowlne the Pacific Northwest Golf association tournament, which was held at Waverley, did not attract the usual' interest, but this year, with the co-operation of the other three Portland clubs, Tualatin is going after a record. Invitations to participate in the state championships have been sent every ' club on the' Pacific eoast, which makes the. affair more of a Pacific coast invitational meet .than ever before. The Tualatin course has been groomed for months until it is now in wonderful shape, v The course, with its many natural hazards, is one of the sportiest in ..the north west. r . With the large entry of crack golfers from all over the state and northwest. Dr. O. F. Willing and Mrs. Ercel Kay, the present state champions, will have their hands full retaining their titles. With the Oregontate tournament the big golf event next month, the local clubs have scheduled nothing in the way of club tournaments until it is over. , The Portland golf club has a. mixed foursome slated for the Raleigh station links today, while the first elimination round of play for the Wirt Minor memorial trophy is on at Waverley. " m John H. Dreher, secretary of the Pacific Northwest Qolf association and golf editor of a Seattle paper, in a recent article com.es to the defense of George Von Elm, twice winner of the r.orthwest title, whose amateur standing has been ques tioned in Bom's circles. The question as to Von Elm's status arises over the Salt Lake player's1922 golfing activities and the financing thereof. .It is. natural that 5 Von Elm, coming from " the caddie ranks, has not the money necessary to carry him around the country in quest of golfing laurels. In order that the Salt Lake youth might continue playing in. title tour naments throughout the country, he has received the backing of his club in making these trips, and it is this backing which some say has tm paired his amateur standing. The following from Dreher's story gives a broad-minded view of the matter: "It was gathered from no less an authority and true sport than Wal ter Salisbury, now a. San Francisco resident, but for many years living in Salt Lake City, where he won the Utah state amateur championships rtuite regularly until Von Elm came to replace him, and who still retains active membership In the Salt Lake Country club, to which Von Elm Is attached. " 'George Von Elm's support this year, and for the future, is coming not from one man or a coterie -of men," said Salisbury. "His club is backing him, just as clubs all over the country back their stars when they need such backing to get them anywhere in pursuit of fame for the star and reflected glory for the club he belongs to. " 'Back at the Salt Lake Country club last winter a subscription was taken up, at the rate of o to $10 a person, to send George through the 1922 season for better or for worse, The majority of us chipped into this fund. It is on that money that the boy is now making his rounds. "And, there it is in a nutshell "And, so long as one Is free and easy and frank with the affairs of George Von Ehm and of the Salt Lake Country club, why not be as frank about precedents? "In no fear of hurting anybody's feelings, unless they are thin-skined enough not to stand it, let us briefly look the history of amateur golf over In this country and consider how the game has been advanced to its present popularity by major com petitions that have brought.together amateurs of great ability. . "Two of the most prominent amateurs the country has produced in a decade are "Chick' Evass and Francis Ouimet. How either of them would have gone beyond the confines of their own links these ex-caddies, Just as George Von Elm was an ex-caddie without support of one sort - or another received from admirers (whether by well- paid employment, or whatever way it might have been done), no one can imagine. "These Incidents could be multi plied greatly. Then, on top of it comes the great departure the United States Golf association made itself a year ago when it Cecided to furnish the money necessary to send a team abroad in defense- of the Walker cup when the time came for such a trip. "Is there any difference between the Sajt Lake Country club 'sending George Von Elm around the circuit and the United States Golf associa tion sending a team across the Atlantic? "George Von Elm, our champion, is just as much an amateur as any amateur title holder in the U. S. A." Travels Far for Beatings. Jim Tracey came all the way from Australia to get slammed around by Bill Brennan in Madison Square gar den, and now he is going all the way to the Argentine to be the fat ted calf at the homecoming of Luis Angel Firpo. Bender Still Good. .Those who are batting against him in the International league claim that Chief Bender is about as good as he ever was. They declare, any how, that he is better than about 75 per cent of the boxmen now drawing salaries in the majors. Six Crews -Enter Regatta.

The British open golf champion ship to be played beginning June 19 at the Royal St. George club. Sandwich, England, first wus con tested in 1860 and for the first dozen ye.ars was played over the Prest wick course. It was not, until 1873 that other courses were used in this tournament. W. Park was the first winrieV, and he made the course in 174 strokes. For the first dozen years Tom Morris Sr., Tom Morris Jr. and W. Park practically had a monopoly on the title, the only other player to annex the title being A. Strath in 1865. During those dozen years Park won three times. Tom Morris Sr. four times and the Junior Morris four times. X From 1860 to 1870, Inclusive, play was for what was called the "cham pion belt." After that year it be came the "champion cup," this latter trophy being substitute in, 1872. In 1870 Tom Morris Jr. became per manent possessor of the champion ship belt by virtue of three suc cessive victories. It was not until 1896 that the competition was extended to 72 holes, the winner that year being H. H. Hilton, who' went the dis tance in 305 strokes. Many well known names appear on the roster of winners of , the British" open championship, ' among those of two or more .decades ago being Willie Park and Jamie Anderson and Bob Ferguson, both of whom won the event three times In succession: J. H. Taylor, James Braid, Harry Vardon and others. It Is expected this year that there will be about 225 contestants In the preliminaries, of which the first 100 will be eligible for medal play over 72 holes. Thirty-one amateurs. are eligible to compete. Jock Hutchison of this country, who won the event last year, is there to defend his title, but has himself expressed the opinion that he will not be able to keep his laurels. On what Jock bases this pessimistic prediction is not known. but golfers aver that a playeT who" goes in feeling this way already is half beaten before the first ball Is driven from the tee. t Hutchison won last year by de feating Roger Wethered, the Oxford amateur, in the play-off of their tie on the St. Andrews links. Hutchi son won by nine strokes,' covering the 36 holes in 150 to Wethered's 159. Hutchison made a number of remarkable shots. At the fifth hole he holed a 30-yard putt. On the other hand, Wethered, on the 12th green, missed a two-foot putt, and on the-18 another putt of only a couple of yards.

Please decide the following- case: A and B are playing a match and C. an outsider, makes a side bet with A that B will beat him in the match. They are even at the end of the 18th hole, but A wins on the second extra hole. C con tends that he bet on the 18th bole round, and that since there was a tfe then, the bet was off after that point. A. It would appear that A won the bet. Being an outsider. C had no say as to the terms or conditions of the match, and since the two players decided to con. tinue until one or the other won, C snouia be bound by this decision. Q. In playing in a bogey competition, how do the players paired together treat situations that come up where medal play and match Dlay rules are different. as for example in the case of a stymie? A. In Buch competitions, medal play rules are used with the following ex ceptions: Failure to return a score for a hole .merely ioses that hole; penalties of disqualification apply only on the hole being played, except failure to start on time or delaying because of weather con- anions or tne nice; practicing on a regu lar green of the course before play starts, or returning an incorrect score for any hole. These three cases mean dis qualification from the tournament. - Q. Will you nlease state lust what Is considered advice according to therule wnicn prohibits a player from asking ad vice Worn anybody except his caddie? A. Advice is defined as "Any counsel or suggestion wnich could influence a player in determining the line of play, in the choice of a club, or In the method of maKtng a stroke." Q. What is the penalty where player' caddie is caught moving the oan into a belter lie? A. He loses the hole in match play ana two siroKes in medal play. Q. Is there any penalty where player putts before his opponent's ball nas stopped rolling? A. Yea, loss of the hole. Expert Has Unique Record. Harry N. Thomas has established what is unquestionably a unique record In sport. He has. probably handled mora guns than any' other man.
