WORLD'S GREATEST
SWIMMER, NORMAN
de M. ROSS, IS HOME
Portland Boy, Holder of 10 World's
ships, Returns to the United States After a Successful In
vasion of Australia and Hawaii.
By Earl R.
TUORMAN DE MILLE ROSS, Portland's internationally famous swimmer,
has returned to the Rose City for a visit to his parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Charles E. Hobs, 1331 Mallory avenue.
Since' hts last visit here, which was
peted In championships and exhibitions in France, Belgium, England,
Germany, Holland, Italy, the United States, Hawaii, and his last feats
were accomplished In Australia. In
showing:, for In 24 races he won 23"
holds 24 Australian records, several
Ross holds the Australian championships in distances from 100 yards
to one mile and. Judging: from the press accounts of his efforts, the people
f the kangaroo land treated him royally. Ross says so himself, and he
adds that they always thought they lived in the swimming center of the
world, but their Ideas have changed considerably since the American made
the invasion. ,
After returning from France, where
he was a lieutenant in the aviation
service, Ross entered several swimming:
races in the United States and in August
efjast year went to Honolulu, where
he battled his way through several vic
tories. He continued on his way to
Australia and after winning everything
in sight he took the boat for home,
landing in Vancouver, B. C, last Satur
day morning.
While making the trip across the Pa
cific he took 111 with Influenza and when
the ship docked at the British Columbia
metropolis, Ross wan too weak to go
ashore. He remained on board until
Monday morning, and then took the
train for Portland, arriving here late
Monday nigh. The big merman, while
Still showing effects of the influenza,
says he expects to be in great condition
to compete In the national relays and
water polo, contests to be held In San
Francisco late next month. Whether
or not he will remain here until time
to go south he has not decided.
: Although he began his swimming In
the Willamette river, later at the old
Portland swimming baths, and then
represented the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club, the former Portland
academy athlete left Portland for San
Francisco three or four years ago and
immediately became affiliated with the
Olympic club. After winning laurels
for the Winged "O" he went "east and
Joined the famous Illinois Athletic club
f Chicago, the organization whose
colors are worn by many other inter
nationally known swimmers and divers.
.There are 16 swimming events recog
nised throughout the world when it
leomes to making records, and of this
number Ross holds 10 world's records.
Various distances between the 100-yard

He is credited with championships In

The one race lost in Australia was to
Frank Beaurepalre, who only recently
took up swimming after a lapse of sev

Beaurepalre Journeyed to England where
he won everything In eight This was In
1910 and it was not until after the
World's war that he again took up his
favorite pastime. The race in which he
defeated the Yankee was held In rough
water, without turns, and the time was
slow. Ross gives 'Beaurepalre all the
credit n the world for the victory and
he says that he Is a great swimmer and
a hard man to beat. In all his other
races against the Australian, Ross
showed his superiority.
Ross fully expects to compete In the

P.) The Pacific coast may look
forward to a good .season of evenly
balanced baseball with teams of about
equal 'strength staging an exciting race
for the Coast league 1920 pennant, ac
cording to a roundup of the field ob
tained today by the United Press.
With the season to open one week
from today, correspondents wire In that
the two leading teams of last year
Vernon and Los Angeles may start
slightly weakened, whereas San Fran
cisco, Oakland, Sacramento. Salt Lake
and Seattle have strengthened their
lineups. Seattle apparently has done
more to brace its aggregation than any
of the others. Portland thus far has
not added sufficient strength to boost
its prospects, but has several major
leaguers coming, according to Manager
McCredle.

of Dell, Fromme, W. Mitchell. Schneider

0 in Great Battle; Contests to
Be Played Today.
WET grounds and rains caused post
ponements In marfy of the games
scheduled for Monday in the Portland
Grammar School league, but those that
were played were exciting, for the most
part. In section 1, Wood lawn defeated
Thompson, 10 to 3, in the only affair
staged and it was played on the Pe
ninsula park grounds. W. A. Dickson,
director , of secttion 1. reports that,
through the courtesy of City Commis

Park, 10 to 17. The Holladay -Mount
Tabor and Montavllle-Glencoe contests
were postponed.
The Davis team won from Atkinson,
10 tf 3, in section 4. mainly through
the two home runs by Walter "Red"
Brown, and one by Ernest Burby, both
coming at critical stsges. Davis was
leading 4 to 3 at one time. Frank Hels
enreter and "Lefty" Goodwin made a
double play for Davis. Ernest and Ed

to 6 ; Woodmere trimming Woodstock,
32 to 2; Richmond 12, Clinton Kelly 6,
and Sellwood managed to win from Sun
nyside, 1 to 0. The Sunnyside-Sellwood
affair was a pitchers' battle.
Willie Donahue, the Kerns no-hlt-no-run
pitcher, worked In great fashion
against Fernwood, but errors behind
him caused the game to be close.
Pitcher Fred Ortman tried his best to
bring victory to Fernwood.

CHAMPIONS
OF 1919 ARE.
WEAKENED
i ii i .i
Vernon. Tigers, Without Bobby
Meusel and Others,. Do Not
Look the Same.
By George Berts
MINUS the services of Bobby Meusel,
who was sold to the New York
Americans, the Vernon Tigers, holders'
of the Pacific Coast league champion
ship, go into the 1920 race far from
being the same aggregation that wound
up the 1919 race.
In addition to Meusel, Manager Bill
Kssick will be without Joe Kinneran,
Rex Pawnon and Byron Houck and
possibly Clarence Brooks, who Is a
persistent holdout.
It Is not a cinch that the Tigers will
get the breaks this season as they did
last year. In the first place "Red"
Smith, who was cured to fill Meussl'a
shoes. Is a veteran player and may
not be able to get started on the
Pacific coast, and even If he does, he
will not be as valuable a player as
Meusel.
The remainder of the Tiger Infield
will be the same, with "Babe" Borton
on firnt. Bob Fisher at second and
Johnny Mitchell at short. Borton Is
not expected to travel with the tame
snap and speed as he did last year,
and it would not .be surprising to see
him displaced before the. middle of. ths
campaign.
The outfield combination will be the
same, with Long, High. Kdlngton and .
Chadbourne. In the outer gardens the
Tigers are as well fixed as any club
In the circuit.
Behind the bat. Devormer will likely
start as first string catcher, unless
Brooks changes his mind and reports.
Sullivan, a recruit, will assist Devormer
until Kssick has a chance to line up
someone from the Yankees.
The pitching staff will be built around
Wheezer" Doll, Art Fromme, Willie
Mitchell and Pete Schneider. Hill, a
youngster, is showing up In great style,
Kssick will likely land some pitching
talent from the Nsw York Yankees.
It Is a cinch that the Tigers will bs
forced harder this season than they
were In 1919, as a majority of the
other clubs have strengthened con
slderably.
