There i no doubt in ray mind but that thV Oregtm state tennle cham
plonahlp tournament which just closed wai the areatest ever held In Or
egn and the complete succesa of It means much for the success of tennis
In this portion of the country. Of course the state tournament was aided
materially by the presence of some of the northwestern stars who took
part in the Pacific International tournament, which Immediately preceded
it, and the entry of Mr. Foley of San Francisco. The attendance has been
the largest yet and I firmly believe that the great court fame will be made
more attractive from the fact that we held the tournament. We lacked
proper equipment on account of the late fire, but the ardor of players
and spectators was not diminished one whit.
Making shots and strikes that seemed
almost Impossible. Charles E. Foley of
Baa Francisco yesterday won the
championship of Oregon in the men's
ingles and also won the Fiske chal
lenge cup from Nat Emerson of North
Yakima, Wash. Many sensational
hots were made in the match and
were roundly cheered by the large gal
lery that watched the Callfornlan win
the championship.
Foley, with his partner, James Lewis,
won the doubles championship of the
state and the M. A. A. C. challenge
cup from Wlckersham and Gorrill. This
match wss rnpiete with sensational
strikes. Foley played his best game
in thta 'match and covered a great deal
of ground. . 1

Good Tennis Played in Tourney
When the Oregon state tennis tourna
ment closed yesterday, what was prob
ably the greatest tennis week In the
history of the game in Portland passed
into history. Bharp and exciting play
was prevalent throughout the week and
on each day of the tournament some
pair or set of players met who provided
game of more than ordinary interest.
The gallery was large throughout the
week and the attention paid the game
by spectators indicates that there is a
growing Interest In the great racquet
game. Such splendid players as Nat
Emerson, former western champion; C.
E. Foley, the brilliant Callfornlan; Rich
ardson and McCutcheon, the fait Seat
tle pair, and Erlckson of Everett took
part In the tournament
C. E. Foley, who has played but little
tennis In the past two years until the
tournament in California this seaaon,
showed great form and proved to be a
wonder on the Multnomah courts. His
playing was too much for the city cham
pion, Brandt Wlckersham and he easily
defated him in two straight sets. Foley
also ran away with a number of other
men in the singles and with his part
ner, Lewis, in the doubles, he earned the
right to challenge Wlckersham and Gor
rill for M. A. A. C. cups.
Lewis-' Plajrlar Improved.
The playing of Lewis has been great
ly Improved and the team work while
teaming with Foley was worth watching.
Coupled with Miss Schaefer In the
mixed doubles, Foley was too much for
the other players and with his partner
easily won the championship of the
state.
Another double pair that showed
great form the past week was Miss
Leadbetter and Wakeman, who were de-

singles, although they were not able to
pull through to the finals.
In the ladies' doubles Miss Leadbet

FREDDIE WELSH HAS
NO FEAR OF W0LGAST
By W. W. Naughton.
San Francisco, July 22. The pen Is
mightier than the sword.
This is a gem of wisdom that crops
up every now and again and fades away
unchallenged.
Now we have Freddie Welsh, British
Queensbury exponent, who Is eager to
prove that the squash Is mightier than
me steak.
Freddie is to be Ad Wolgast's next
opponent In a championship fight to be
held Thanksgiving day at Los Angeles.
Freddie Is a vegetarian. At a banquet
given by Wolgast the day after the
fight with Moran. all the guests with
one exception regaled themselves on
mlllfed chicken, terrapin and Virginia
ham. The exception was Freddie Welsh,
and, as some one remarked, he appeared
to be pecking at the table decorations.
His pleoe de resistance was a sheaf of
watercress.
Train on Tsgstablss.
Freddie Intends to train for Wolgast
on strict vegetarian principles. It Is
within the bounds of possibility when
drying out time comes that he will be
found picking the petals of a boiled
artichoke a la the lovelorn maiden and
the field daisy, and murmuring "he lams
me, he lams me not"
Freddie save he has been a "vege
tarian" ever since 'ha began fisrhtlns.
and that if he ever strayed from the
path he had marked out for himself, it
was because he could not obtain the food
he desired. In training camo It is dif
ferent Freddie always has a purchas
ing agent, who explores the nearest
market for Brazilian nuts, rosy cheeked
apples and succulent lettuce.
He resents the Imputation that be
cause of his notions of diet, he will bs
able to manage 'with a vegetable oook.
instead or a high salaried chef. Fred
die says he thrives better and fights
better on bloodless viands.
Welsh points out that while hs la al
ways spoken of as an English or Welsh
fighter, he learned the trade of ths ring
in the united States. Here is the way
Freddie tells tne story of his pugiUstlo
life:.
rougfct at Kohoot,
"I was taught boxing at school In
ths old country, but I gained. all my
experience on this side of ths water.
Anything I know of professional pugil
ism was learned In America. I had my

way to box was In the old English way

or boxing as taught in my own country,

By Charles E. Foley, Oregon Champion.
There seems to be something in this Oregon atmosphere that makes
a tennis player work with all the vim In his body, and I. am not surprised
that the Oregon players are making such strides toward perfection In the
tennis court game. I really believe the air is more invigorating than that
of California, which has produced some splendid players, of recent years
including the Sutton sisters, Haiel Hotchklss, Melville Long, Maurice
McLaughlin and Tom Bundy. Of course the game Is more or less young
up here but In time I look for it to become as common as it In in Cali
fornia. Right hee I want to say that the Portland public parks commis
sion will be doing a great good for the young people if it installs a system
of free tennis courts on the numerous parks I understand it has control
of.
made during the match.
Miss Fording won the ladles' singles
Championship yesterday morning by de
feating Miss Irene Campbell in the
most sensational game of the week.
Miss Campbell won the first set after
20 games by the score of 11-9. In the
second set Miss Campbell had a 5-2
lead, but Miss Fording rushed Into
the .fray and won seven straight games
and the set 7-5. The next two sets were
won by Miss Fording by the socres
6-4. 6-1.
Rlchardsbn of Seattle defeated S. B.
Cokke in the finals of the consolation
matches by the scores of 7-5. 6-4, 6-3.
This match was one of the best played
in the consolations.
At the conclusion of the men's doub
les W. A. Holt, president of the Mult
nomah club, under whose auspices the
tournament was held, made a brief
speech before presenting the cups to
the winners.
Mr. Foley was first presented with
the Fiske challenge cup, which, if he
successfully defends it two times, be
longs to him, and also a cup by the
club for winning the men's singles.
James Bhives was presented with the
second prise for the wonderful showing
that he made In the men's singles.
Gets I.add, Cup.
The J. Wesley Ludd challenge cup
was presented to Miss Fording for win
ning the ladies' singles, and Miss Camp
bell, who put up such a good game
againBt the champion, was presented
with the second prize cup.
Miss Fojc and Miss Fording, cham
pions of the women's doubles, were pre
sented with a beautiful cup and Miss
Leadbetter and Miss Schaefer were
given the second prixe cup.
Miss Schaefer and Foley were given
first prize for winning the mixed
doubles and Miss Leadbetter and Mr.
Wakeman .took second prize.
Lewis and Foley were presented with
the M. A. A. C. challenge cups, which
blend the Englisu or orthodox style and
the unorthodox style of the American
ring, and as a consequence I'm quite at
home with almost any kind of a boxer
I may be sent against."
Freddie thinks Ad Wolgast a wonder
ful little ring man, but at the same time
believes that Freddie Welsh carries as
many guns as the Wisconsin wildcat,
wolgast SCnst Foxes It.
"They say that Wolgast can force
any kind of an opponent to loosen up
and start fighting," said Welsh. "Judg
ing from what has happened in his
fights, there Is good reason for looking
at It that way, but it seems to me most
of Ad's opponents feel themselves In a
dilemma when he covers up and think
that it Is up to them to begin leading.
I do not know, of course, that It is that
way...
"Wolgast. as the champion, shouldn't
lay back and wait for his adversary. I
know that Z won't be embarrassed if he
takes to stone walling and covering up.
He has as much right to make the pace
as I have, and if he is thin skinned and
can put up with being reviled by spec
tators on account of his Indisposition
to start th ball rolling, there lstno rea
son why I should become sensitive and
begin leading Just because Mr. Wolgast
wants me to.
"Once blows are exchanged, Wolgast
Is. In his element. He is all there in
inside work. I havs made a study of
this kind of fighting, and I am by no
means convinced that Ad is better at
It than I am. ,1 think I am as resource
ful as bs la, and I possess aa many
changes of style. If I find that he Is
my master at close fighting, I'll soon
change off to some other method. I
know Ad Wolgast, and have known him
during all tola fighting career. We start
ed In at the business about the same
time, and I have seen him fight quite
often. , - ,
X 0nt roreoasi Future. -"Of
course you can't always tell how
things are srolng to turn out, but this I
do know that It was ths ambition of
my life to box Battling Nelson when
ths Dane was champion. I could not
bring Nelson to terms, and In the mean
time Ad Wolgast got the chance and
proved himself to be a better man than
the battler. When Wolgast gained the
title I mad) up my mind to challenge
him at ths first opportunity. I kept
thla thing in viw, and now that I have
secured a match with him, I feel as
though I had achieved something I had
been working for and hoping for.
' "When I feel that way about It It
1s the beet evidence that I am not
haunted with a suspicion I am going to

who can beat me at my own weight
The only mistakes I mads ware when

This pair was given another cup apiece
for their good work In defeating last
season's double champions.

bles. L. R. Richardson of Seattle was pre
sented with first prize for defeating

matches.

in Tacoma next month. All elubs will

By W S. Farnsworth.
New York, July 22. Baseballdom
marvels at the "comeback" of Jimmy
Callahan, in his long career on the dia
mond a pitcher, Infielder and outfielder.
After six years away from the big
leagues, he returns to the Chicago
White Fox and is batting and fielding
as cleverly as he did when he was sup
posed to be in his prime, eight years
ago.
Many others have tried to como hacH?
including such former stars as Herman
Long, Jimmy Collins. Bobby Lowe, Jiggs
Donahue, but not one of them could
deliver the goods on their return en
gagement In fast company. Callahan,
however, has upset all dope and he is
far from being a Dr. Osier candidate.
Kli Arm Xs Weak.
I was in Chicago with th? New York
Yankees a fortnight ago and watched
Callahan's playing . closely. I had
watchod him plav years ago and I now
found that, outside of his throwing, he
was Just as good as ever. His arm,
however, seems to be very, weak and the
Inflelders all back out toward him when
balls are hit In that direction so as to
relay It- On clouts to right center field
Ping Bodle usually covers them.
Callahan Is not quite as fast on nis
pedals as he was in 1904 either, but
at that he beat out five bunts down the
third Rase line In the series against the
Yankees. If he could take off about
10 more pounds I am sure that he would
be able to get down to first Just as
fast as ever.
Jimmy Is still the same worker on
Dulllna in hard hit drives that start off
as they they were going over the bul
warks. He has a keen eye and can clutch
a ball going over his shoulder as, easily
as he can a fly that he doesn't have to
move a step for.
Easy to Catch Drives.
"In fact. I find it much easier to
catch a hard drive than one wnere i
stand In my tracks," says Callahan.
You often drop those easy ones be
cause you to get careless and take them
too soft.''
I met Callahan after the final game
with the Yankees fcnd asked him to
dictate his autobiography to me. Now
James hag written many Interesting
magazine articles, and while he refused
to dictate anything to me. he sat down
at my typewriter and with the speed of
a 376 re-wrlte man punched the keys
as follows:
"I came originally from Fltchburg,
Mass., which should be a cirrumstanou
fit to make that little village the future
mecca of poets, historians and philoso
phers. I was born Just 37 years ago,
and In the quiet scenes of Fltchburg I
grew, throve and learned the difference
between a big league ball and a plate
of corned beef and cabbage, until I was
about 21 years of age.
Started With rhUlles.
"After an Initial experience In the
minor leagues I obtsined a Job with
Philadelphia, and had all my plans ar
ranged for a rapid rush to glory in the
fast company. I didn't get it. With
hardly a trial I was flung out on my
head, so to speak, and my dream of
glory was given a reverse English that
made me tired.
"Few of the baseball cranks of today
know that Philadelphia once turned me
down. That experience has made me
Blow to ever condemn a young player,
A manager should never reject a young
ster for the old war horses without first
giving him a thorough trial."

confined to a pound of serappls and aa
undercooked squab. ,
Drafted by Chisago.
I landed In Kansas City after leav
ing the Slumberburg, mads good and
was quits a pet with the fans of that
place. Kansas City is all right a nlos
little town and a live baseball center.
Ultimately I was drafted by Chicago
and If ever a young candidate for big
league honors was made useful It was
me. During my first year on the Chi
cago team I pitched, and also played
first, second, third, short, right, center
and left fields.. The only thing I didn't
do was to catch, and. at that, I would
often warm up the pitchers before ths
game. It was probably through an over
sight of Captain Anson that I was not
sent to. catch a game.
"For some years I remained with the
Chicago club, and then, seeing a chance
to better myself financially, I Jumped
to Charley Comiskey. While I regarded
Jim Hart and the National league peo
ple with respect and esteem, I had bet
ter opportunities with the American
league. When Clark Griffith went to
New York to manage the Yankees, I
was made manager of the Whits Sox.
Bought Xiogaa Squares.
"Finally trouble arose and I bought
and managed a semi-pro team In Chi
cago, called the Logan Squares. But
Comiskey offered ms big money to go
back to his club this spring and I ac
cepted. While I don't think I am as
good as I was seven or eight years ago,
still I believe there Is a lot of baseball
left in me." '
And there sure Is. Here this veteran
Is walloping the pellet around ths .3(0
mark and making catches in right field
for the White Sox as good as ever.
It was Arthur Irwin, the Yankee
scout who really deserves the credit for
unearthing Jimmy. When I. Rogers
owned the Philadelphia club he sent
Irwin up to Fltchburg to look over ths
young pitcher who had been winning
consistently for a semi-pro team up
there in Massachusetts. Irwin was
"stuck" on the kid and signed him on
the spot. It certainly was a sad day
when the Quakers let Callahan go with
out giving him a decent trial.
. Credit to Baseball.
Callahan is a credit to baseball. A
clean living fellow, who pays attention
to nobody's business but his own and
who Is always ready to give aid where
It is needed.
Jimmy doesn't have to play baseball
for a living. Not by a long shot. He
has a good fat bankroll, and could llvs
easily the rest of his days en Its in
come. But he loves the game and says
that he will never grow too old to play,
even if he be in the back yard with ths
kids.
