: San Francisco.
,iU -0. . O-i. a-O.
The 'name of Gardner has been a
, by-word in the tennis world for the
last 10 years, for it was in 1910 that
1 the Californlan was ranked No. 10
among the racquet wlelders of the
United States. He has held the state
championship of Delaware, the hon
ors of San Francisco county and the
Eay counties, and In 1912 he made
the championship of the Orient It
was from this tournament that he
gained the title "Chinese Champion."
In 1910. he pained fame by pairing

doubles event. The following , year he
was ranged in class A. which held the
second 10 best players In the country.
3TEEB. PAID TRIBUTE ,
To Neer. Gardner- pays the highest
tribute. "It Is Just such youngsters as
Phil." he said after his five set match
with the Multnomah Amateur Athletic

the sting of a- defeat. He is a 'comer
and bears Watching, and along with it
he la a true sportsman, a credit to the
game In every sense of the word."
Gardner forced the play in the first
set and took It by a 8-2 eOunt and ha
tried to maintain the same pace in the
second, but the Portlander was equal to
the occasion and sent the match Jnto
extra, games.

?X STB A IX TOO MUCH
' ' I ...
V uaraner played with the idea to keep
his opponent on the run and he' knew
that he would have to make It short
and snappy if he cared to carry off the
honors. The Bear State star. -who Is In
his thirty-sixth year and has a family,
felt that he couldn't stand the strain of
a long match and for that reason it was
necessary for him to play at top speed
:- at thef-start.
The Oregonian on tha other hand dis
played a dogged determination to keep
his adversary on the run as much as
possible and he succeeded.
A 10 minute "rest was given the play
ers during the third set when the sets
stood 3-1 in Neer's favor and when they
came back on the courts, Phil proceeded
to take the next four games, during
which he made 17 points aa against 6
for Gardner. x
The fourth set found the visitor play
ing a steady game, going sot far aa to
; take the second and seventh games,
without giving Phil a point, Gardner
evened the series score at this stage of
. the game. '
. Then came the fifth and deciding set
Phil was serving in the first game and
he won it after it had gone 8-4, Gard
ner took the . first two points In the
second setto, but that was all, for the
winner came back with four straight,
only to make four straight ia the third
Biue. ran maae u rour straight games
when he won Gardner's serve, but the
Californlan managed to. negotiate one
contest before the champion was able
to annex the next two and the title.
The large and enthusiastic gallery was
- given a thrill when Phil ended the match
by making aces for the last two points.

ONE MORE TITLE
BEFORE RETIRING
Giant Manager Will Assemble Big
Gpup of Youngsters for
. Next Year's Team.
TtHET say that John J. McGraw has
decided to return to the old, sound
system of developing his Giants from the
abundant raw material instead of buy
ing them on the hoof from other clubs.
McGraw is combing the tall grstss for
young players as it has not been raked
In years by his scouts. He will Inspect
a large consignment of green talent ne?t
spring and' wilV carry as- much of this
material as the league regulations will
permit, '
: Back in the'golden days of the Giants
many budding athletes were carefully
nurtured by McGraw for months before
bursting into radiant! bloom. George
Burns sat on the bench- for a year be
fore his opportunity came. Pave Rob
ertson. Arthur Fletcher, Charley Herzaff,
Rosa Young, -Jeff Tesreau and. Earl
Smith were a few McGraw-mada play
ers who were : developed either On the
bench or by some minor Teague manager
closely associated with McGraw.
The Giants of those days were color
fuL They reflected the spirit of" a great
leader and. in. our opinion, the most
progressive baseball director the game
ever knew. ,--
McGraw la not given to discussing his
baseball: ambitions, but he cherishes a
desire to win one more world's . cham
pionship before he steps out as a field
leader. He failed dismally in 1911 and
1913, and be was outlucked in 1912 and
1917. But we believe that if be Can re
build his team with fresh, young ma
terial within the next two years, he will
step out oh the coaching lines again and
be the McGraw of old.

There is no reason why the game
should not prosper under the state law
as it reads now and the idea of the
meeting was to adopt regulations gov
erning the conduct of smokers.
H05ETMAS BEHIXD MOVE
Walter B Honeynian, secretary of the
Portland Boxing commission,' is of the
opinion that the heads of all commis
sions should assemble to adjust several
mattera
Among the things that Hontyman fav
ors embodying in the regulations is the
classification of the boxers of the dif
ferent weights. "This' Iloneyman con
tends, "would do away with a lot of
poor matches In the cities outside of
Portland. The rule is embodied In the
regulations of the Portland commission,
but it has been overlooked on the last
couple of cards because of necessity."
WOULD HELP GAME
The International Sporting club Of
New York plans to claesifly all box
ers .throughout the country and It Is
likely that the boxing commissions In
various steps will pattern the idea.
A couple of farce bouts were staged
last season that would have been Impos
sible if the commissions had standard
regulations to follow.
Acceptances of Invitations to attend
the meeting are expected by this week
end from all commissions.
