SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. — War
has hit Ice hockey In the northwest,
~ and players and patrons ot the Pacific
Coast Ice Hockey Association are won
dering whether there will he a profes
sional schedule played this winter. At
this time, with the season several
months away, sporting authorities are
talking of a league of three clubs.
Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, B.
C., instead of the four club league of
a year ago.
S|M)kane and Victoria, B. C„ the only
other two prospects, will not be able
to piny tills year, it Is generally be
lieved in Portland, on account of leak
of support. Last year Spokane was
tiie fourth club in the league, and drew
so poor at home it was put on the
road during the last weeks of the
season.
Portland and Seattle probably will
have teams. E. J. Bryan, hend of the
company owning the Portland Ice Pal
ace, has announced he is willing to
put a team in the field again ami it
is reported the company controlling
the Metropolitan Arena at Seattle
where tile games are played, is in good
financial shape and Is willing to back
a team.
Plans of the Vancouver management
are undetermined. Frank Patrick,
manager of the Vancouver team, and
president of the association, has
stated if a proposed Canadian war tax
on amusements goes into effect, that
hockey will be impossible.
All the players who finished last
season except one are Canadians, and
as yet none have enlisted. The only
American born man in the league was
•Si Griffiths, captain of the Vancouver
club, the only Canadian team in the
league.
There is talk of San Francisco or
I-os Angeles putting clubs into the
league, but in the northwest there are
only few people who expect to are
California represented this year.
Two little girls, aged eight and sev
” en, and their brother, six years old.
| are the swimming and diving
tlnnB of Santa Cruz. Cal. These young f
■iters, who learned to swim last sum
mer. are wonderfully proficient In the
water. They are Gladys, Elma and
Lowell Gum, Jr., of Modesto, Cal. Not
only are they versed In all of the
strokes used In swimming, but all arc
fast swimmers, but they have sur
prised by the long swims they have
made. What has attracted the great
est attention, however, is their abso
lute fearlessness In diving. No height
seems to have any terrors for them,
and they execute the various dives In
a cleanout fashion.
Willie Ritchie, former lightweight
champion uoxcr, who recently made
what he said was his last appearance
in the ring, has gone the way of other
ex-champions, and appeared in a four
round bout on August 22 at Emery
ville against Frank Itarrieau, a local
boxer, who has shown up excellently
in short bouts. Ritchie weighs in ex
cess of 140 pounds.
Miss Mayme McDonald, of the Uni
versity of Washington, Is being hailed
as the all round woman champion nth
iete of the Northwest. She tips the
scales at 115 pound*, and the follow
ing are some of her achievements in
the athletic field: She has thrown a
baseball 190 feet, run too yards in 12
seconds, has been three times woman
tennis champion of the university,
twice tennis champion of the Inland
Empire tuornament, plays a stellar
game on the hockey, basketball and
baseball teams, and was finalist in the
1917 Northwestern women's singles
championships. She cun swim i.nd
dive, enjoys hunting and fishing and
can both punt and drop kick a foot
ball. She takes just as much pride
however, in her ability to cook and
her knowledge of housekeeping. ‘T
can hake as good cake as any of my
sisters,” she declares, "and I do not
want anyone to get the idea I'm a
slacker when it comes to doing house
work.”
