Portland Beavers Bade a Notch When Seatde Captures Exciting Ball Contest Drop Squabble on U.S. Team Is Prevented By Henry I- Farrell United Tre Staff Correspondent. ANTWERP. Aug. 14. The dispute be tween the Olympic commission and memlhers of the American team over oa qualiflcatlon of Dan Ahearn, world rec ord holder for the hop. step and jump, was nettled today. Ahearn apologized for breaking: the rule that all athletes must retire early and :he commission reinstated him. The commission's action followed demands mad4 by a committee representing the : athletes that Ahearn be allowed to com- I pete. -; J i' " . j ' Pit satisfaction among the American team with the manner in which the com mittee has proceeded was .brought to a head with the disqualification of Ahearn. worlt champion In the hop, step and Jump and-- three times a contestant in the Olympics. r Th committee's declaration that its action resulted from Ahearn's breaking training; by not retiring at the hour set caused a storm of protest. WAsk MEETISG HELD A mass meeting of the American team 'was called and demanded that the Ahearn case be reconsidered. The com mittee members, after attempting to ex plain their action, finally agreed to meet todajr and ; reconsider the disqualifies tion. t J : . During the mass meeting. Judge Bar tow $.

"BABE" RUTH'S CHAPTER THREE AFfTER being signed for a tryout with tlhe Baltimore Internationals, I could hardly sleep at night for counting the mlngtes until' the- time to report for spring training. All the fellows in the schopl envied me and said they hated to see hie go, but wished me all sorts of good luck. The day arrived, however, and I packed my suitcases before breakfast. I was taking no chances on being left. Brother Matthias Bhook me by the hand and told me he knew 1 would make good, adding that I had only to "play the game on the field and off, FBI iCSDtT XS MISERY j There were a dozen other "rookies" waiting on the station platform with the regulars and the newspaper writers who were) to accompany the club.: Few of us rookies knew one another, but we herded together on the outskirts of the big crovfd. unnoticed by anyone, although I thought I saw the newspaper experts looking us over the way stock buyers look! 'em over in the Chicago yards. I donTt remember that anyone: save me so much as i the once-over. I was only a kid land to them had nothing but size and a schoolboy reputation to recom mend. I ' was nearly six feet two and i I guess I: looked like so much ivory. !wp rokies knew that it was each, man for jhimself to win 'a. place on the ballj clubP and we knew, also, that before the training ended some of us would be j playing in the trolley league or j back j on (the old home lot. Still we were 1 friendly in our-early misery and riv alry) and unanimous in our envy of the j regulars. : --' . TVLAXS RIDE GREAT EVENT Te trip to Fayetteville was a great evetit in the life of a boy who had been under rather strict discipline for 12 yeafs. I had gone to the i Institute at thejage f 7, you will remember, and hertl I was at the age of 19. taking my f irslj real railroad journey, and a much longfer one than I ever thought I would takej. Most , of the way I was busy looking out of the window and it gave ma buite a thrill to run over high tres tles and through tunnels., because I Was only a boy after all and every thing was so new to me. Likewise, the comjfdrts of the hotel at Fayetteville appealed particularly to me. I roomed wltli another rookie, bat I must say this boyls snores at. night were music to me: they reminded me of the dormitory back at St. Marys.'. The soort writers immediately start ed their annual series of stories about the season's dining room phenom.. They ' criticised the rookies' form at th din ner! plate ! and one of : them said if , I 'could swing a bat as well as I swung a ftork I would punch .300 for the sea lonj They evidently had never before ice a healthy boy with a healthy ap , petite, because I don't believe I ate nei bit more than anyone else. One of the) wits : aaidi Babe Ruth's favorite breakfast delicacy was a planked steak imthered with pork chops. , 15 C -2 for AGoodGcfor TH HART CIGAR CO. Portland, Or, Dy Every T?st suns SHI Missed Putts Sends Title 'Across Sea By Charles (Chick) "Evans I (Written for tlie United New) rlLEDO. Ohio, Aug. 14.- All of Amer lea's golfing talent could not keep the open championship from going once more across the seas to England, j Just 20 years ago Harry .Vardon. the premier stylist and sportsman of the fi-olflng world, won the title easily at the Chicago golf course. Not once in hun dreds of rounds would the old master finish so poorly as he did Friday after noon on the last seven holes. Many a tjime has Harry, Vardon played 11 or 12 holes in 35, lpstead of 7. He seemed very glad, however, that j his fellow country- man, Ted Ray,: who pounded along so Steadily toward the ; goal, won the title. It will mean much to the pair in their riemainlng matches in this country. HAY PLODS ALOJfG III am saying so much about Harry Vardon because it was his champion ship by a liberal margin up to the time, only about 10 minutes, when the heavy windstorm swept across the course. -If it had come at any time except on the finish, it would not have counted so much, i . ' "i - ( ; In the rear was Ray, who had started so magnificently, being two under fours &t the end of the fifth hole. Then he took p. five on the sixth, a hole he doesn't like, and then he plodded along until he holed a long putt i on the 16th for a tihree. i Fifteen . minutes i' later Jock Hutchison took a quick, jerky stroke, at a three-footer on the same green and missed. Then on the home hole poor Jock just missed a three for a tie. But tlhe most pitiful piece of luck fell to Leo Diesel, for he made a very lucky fight. 1 LMegrel played all right: through the 20th -hole in the afternoon; although he missed i holable putts on the 10th, 11th and 12th. He took the biggest six of his Kfe on the 13th. Maybe it wa$ because lit was Friday the 13th. He followed his Unsteadiness by - two fives and then missed I two gallant tries for threes on Che remaining two holes,' either one of fv hlch would have tied ihim. CHICK TOPS AMATEUR -ijThe other Tne of the 296 men was kttiodest Jack Burke of St. Paul, who played the best total for Friday's 36-hole test. He did not know he was' so close tjo the title. Next came Jim Barnes and myself at 298. Three 76"s 4s bad golf for tall Jim. His 170 is more like his game. Bobby Jones made a brilliant showing Friday r morning, and he -ended just one stroke behind me, and that lucky stroke gave me the prize of leading amateur. s Ti After "Bobby came a group including fiob MacDonald and Walter Hagen. h Ted Ray . has once been British open champion, and he competed once before jn our- open championship.

OWN STORY OF HIS CAREER fCppjrfrbt, 1920, by trjnitei News) Brother Matthias, a familiar figure in Babe Ruth's life at St. Mary's school. f -GETS FIRST CHAXCE AT SHORT WITH ORIOLES -Rath took his first real railroad Journey when he traveled from Balti more to Fayetteville for spring train ing with the Baltimore International League el no at the age of 19. His days as a "rookie" with Us first, pro fessional ball clnb, after leaving St. Marys school, were much the same as those of other "rookies." His first assignment was to play shortstop with the "Yannigans." Thanks to the erhool training of Father Hatthlas, who shifted his boys to all positions, Ba'be' got away with It, although his specialty was catching or pitching. . To top things off, Babe drove oat his first home run off - professional pltrhlBg. . - - J This was In the spring of 1914. Rath was seat la to pitchman exhibition game against the Philadelphia Ath letics. Eddie Murphy, Babe Old ring and Eddie Collins thea headed the Athletics hatting list. Babe won his game, his first Tlctory over a big league elan. Ia the next chapter Roth tells of his breaking Into the majors and of an even bigger event his marriage to Miss Helen Woodford of Texas. Fori two days Jack Dunn had us out limbering up with the mildest sort of ball tossing. I didn't like it because I had been limber for 12 years and want ed a chance to show that I could put the ball clear out of the park if they'd Jet me lean a bat against it. .1 waa wearing the gray uniform of the Balti more club and felt that the proper thing to do was to' score a home run. Any thing less than that wouldn't match up with the suit. ; On the night of March 6 Dunn anounnced that there would be a game on the next; morning, and he told me that I was to o In at shortstop for the Yannlgans. That was the time I thanked my stars for Brother Matthias' training at every position on a ball team. I had, wanted to specialize In pitching ana catcmng ana would not have known how to play short If J'd pot been com pelled to Ulay. them all at St,. Marys. I speared everything that came my way that day. . , STARTS OFF WITH HOMER My first time at bat I was determined to show them that I could hit a homer off a regular league pitcher; -I dig my spikes In the dirt, watched the ball sail ing up the path and swung.

'The ball had gone into a cornfield away over , the center; field er's head. Later on In the game I pitched an inning Dnnn was trying me out for fair. Well.i I wasn't Walter Johnson, but they didn't score any more runs on me. . j After that game i noticed that the Reda were more friendly to mo than they had been.

Dunn pave me a place on the regular squad and i when he arranged an exhibition game with Connie Mack's world champion Ath letics at Wilmington,; N. C, he told me I would start the session in the box. Gee, I was going to work against the team that had turned back the Giants in the fall of 19il3!. The first; three men up were Eddie Mnrphy. Rube Old ring and Eddie Collins. They swung ana went back to the bench in order. We scored a run in Ietics tied it in the OUt In front in tVin our half, the Ath second and went Hhird, but In our half of the third we- tied it up and for tne remaining six innings I held them without a score. Wej won, 6 to 2. I had licked the world's champions. We were a mighty happy lot; when we went back to Baltimore tot start the season, and of the rookies who had won out a chance to I play with the club and the right to w-ear that "Baltimore" on the chest, I was the happiest of all. To me it meant thai my days in Saint Marys were ended and. although 1 loved the old school, I was impatient i to be getting on in the world. I had : cut out for mypelf a career in baseball and was determined to see it through. i i Dunn had decided! to - use me , as a pitcher and we worked into the season with my name on the regular roster as a moundsman. As a home run hitter I hadn't lived up to (the performance of my school days, perhaps, but lit must be remembered that X had been working against the best twfa-lers in the world, whereas my school day home runs had been made off the deliveries of young sters like myself. 1 SPEECH A FOUL BALL i . j On July 3 I pitched a morning game for the Orioles and i in the afternoon I asked Jack Dunn (yes, I called him Jack then for permission to beat it away from the afternoon game. 1 1 waa very anxious to go, and Dunn evidently noticed this, so he asked me what was on my mind. - I said to him, "O, I'm just golnjr out to .Old Saint Marys to see the boys and play a little ball." . It seemed mighty jfine to get back tc the old place. I felt as if I'd been away for years and wanted to hear how things had been going on the "big team. - The fellows asked me all sorts of questions about playing ball in the league, so one of the brothers arranged for me to make my first speech. Asj a speech, this was a "foul balL" X hadn't any swing at all, but the boys were decent to me, so I told them how professional ball players took care of themselves physically and that sort of thing. X bad cut Out smoking for a couple of months because one of the brothers had asked me to. I thought this was a good thing for the example it showed the little fellows. I talked to them about baseball as a ' profession, and I guess their eyes popped when I told them I waa then - getting $1800 a year!'- I know mine-popped when Jack Dunn) gave it to me.; You tee, he started me off at $600 a year when.tbe regular league season began At the end of the first month he doubled the figure and a month later came across with another boost of $600. a Remember that I was a rookie and glad to be playing- at all. IJ didn't have to ask for these junips. Of course, thin Isn't big money, in the big leagues, but at the time it was a lucky rookie who could get: S1800 a season, and X was only 19 years old. f : JUL Friday, 13th, Sees Beavers Beaten, 10-9 I PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE - !

Six pitchers worked! and Ol Harry Gardner the Tater Picker from Canby, Or., got credit for the win. :i , j. It was thfa way. IWfth the score tied at 8-alI, Gardner fanned Siglin and was then clicked for a double by Wistercil, his third of the afternoon. Maiael tripled to left and brought; Tex home.

This was followed by the deliberate, passing of Kenworthy. Boss McCredie waa stalling around for time to let Sutherland warm up. Then he went over; to Bill Cunningham,; took Bill's head in his paws an gave Bill's eyeballs an astrological squint which, of course, 1 elicited great gobs of laughter from, the ladies present- . Young Mr. Cunningham, with a count of 3 and 2, fc-uled off seven of Sutherland's pitches and then walked, forcing Murphy 'home for the tying run.) Bill Stumpf hit a high ball to Spranger at first. Then Baldwin came with his right smart drive across ieecond with the Beaver infield drawn in. Eldred came across with the winning run.. It was a fine climax for Friday the llth. ! , . . . ' Doubles by" Wlsterall and Malsel, Schaller's out and Cox's single gave the Beavers 2 to start with. This count was halved in the ; second when Eldred doubled down the third base line, took third on Kenworthy's out and scored on Klngdon's boot of jCunningham e drive.

Stumpf doubled to: center bringing the runners home, but was out, Malsel to Kingdon to Kohler to Wlsterrll, when he tried to take third, when the catcher muffed a throw to the plate.

' -: -.-.'- Ml) (LOOM !Strne Yanlc Track Team Facing Task Abroad I -By James E. (Ted) Meredith Olympic Champion and Universal Serric Staff j . sjorrespoaoeni .- . . -j. ANTWERP, Aug. 14. Wjth the arrival j of the Finns and Swedes comes news tnat wilt cause the United States team j some worry over the victory it had come to regard as already won at these Olym- , pic games, which start. Sunday. It is simply that both have some great ath letes, who will be sure to win, it reports of their prowess are true.-, ,? i In some cases I ha e seen these new comers at work and from what I have seen of them In action it really looks as if our boys will have a hard job beating them. PUTS SnOT 48 FEET, 11 IXCHES I There Is one shot nutter from. Finland who today heaved the iron ball for 48 feet, 11 inches, a .foot better than big Pat McDonald has done so far this year. The Finn is not as big a Pat. but he la very powerful and fast. Hla form Is none . the best, but form' will only beat him. -' the Finns' jumper, Truulos, who- has done 50 feet in . th& tiop-step-and-jump, and 25 feet in the broad jump, has gone farther than the marks set -by any .of our 'contenders, but I. am. sure our men are capable of bolng ; these marks, so do not expect trouble here. ? f I fear 'we will be really outclassed if the Finns come up to their-past form. They have four men who will throw over 210 feet in the javelin contest, while our javelin men appear unable to do better than 190 feeL HIGH JUMPER DEM OX - The Swedes have among the stars of their track team Kkelkind, high jumper, who has done 6 feet, 4 inches ; Seander, holder of the 1500 meter records, ia here and in shape to meet Joia Ray. ; -: Backman, the Swedish . long distance runner, pronounced by Ernie Hjertberg, the greatest runner who ever 'put on the sulked shoes, is picked by his trainer to win the 5000 and 10,000 meter events. With Backman there will be Nurmi atirm, whom his team mates believe is better than Hannes K'oplemainen was in 1812. . Guillmot. the great French runner probably will be entered in both races, while the . United States possibly , will have Ray in the C000 and Faller in the 10.000. These seem to be out' beet en tries. Coach Moakley held several trials today with the result that Laubrow will be the fourth man to start. '- - REPRESENT AMERICA i Hommes and Mahon will be the javelin throwers representing America, and Looms, the hop-step and Jumper. It is probable that six men from each coun try will start in each event.. The American committee will try . to have the ruling of the international com mittee carried out by the Belgians, There will be a meeting just before the games open, when it is believed it can be ar ranged. For this reason trials have not been held in the other events, and there is a great anxiety among the fourth, fifth and sixth place man as to who will be given the chance of starting. The sprinters and 800. meter men have the greatest hope for rvictory. They have finished work and are now resting preparatory to their heats , on, Sundayj Columbus -Trainer, ' Makes Great Mark In Circuit. Meets The Columbus, Ohio, trainer, Charley Valentine, doesn't believe in. doing things unless he can do them right, and what he , did at . the recent Kalamazoo grand circuit meeting will long be , re membered by - the followers, of the bis ring. Charley' won all the stake races on the card. That is what he did. Won the S3000 Paper Mills stake with Peter Coley. 2 :04. the 2 :li trotting stake for $3000 with Royal Palm, 8:044 : the $2000 2 :09 pace with Red Lancelot- 2 :02. and the $2000 2:06 pace with Edna Early. 2:044. He has already done a lot of stake, winning and the season is only nicely started. Charley has .a great stable of Worses this year and mor stakes will fall his way without doubt. Valentine is one of the hardest working trainers in the game and he deserves the success that he is having ' along the grand circuit this season."

With Shamrock IV. he won the first two races.
