BASEBALL FIRST EFFORT Organizers Expect to Foster Other Branches of Sport After Work Is Well Under Way. 4. The first formal steps toward the formation of an Industrial, athletic league her will be made next Mon day. The Portland community service yesterday sent out a call to the in dustrial plants and stores of Port land to have representatives present at; next Monday night's meeting, at wftich an industrial baseball league will be formed as a starter. ' It is hoped that from baseball the league will foster other branches of indoor and outdoor athletics. John CHenderson. executive secre tary of community service, is chair man of a committee from the Oregon Physical Education society which has been working on plans for industrial recreation in Portland for some time. Other members of the committee are Jack Routledge of the B'nai E'rith. Carln Degermarq of the municipal parks and playgrounds, T. H. Gawley of the Y. M. C. A., and Opal Weimer of Reed college. Committee Favors Plan. About three months ago a commit tee was appointed from the Physical Education society to study industrial recreation in Portland, which, after making- a thorough investigation of the field, reported in favor of the or ganization of a Portland industrial recreation association. Before enter ing community service work Hender son was with the personnel depart ment of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of Akron, O. There he was closelv associated with Malcolm C Brock of the Goodyear organization. who was the organizer and for sev ral years national secretary of the , American Industrial 'Athletic asso ciation. This experience will be valu able in launching industrial recrea tion work in Portland. It is planned to start the work of the proposed association with base ball because already some 20 firms have signified their Interest in such a project. Later it is planned to broaden the scope of the work to In clude other forms of athletics. Sane Course to Be Followed. "We plan to conduct the work along ane lines," said Henderson. "In many instances such work has been conducted in a very extravagant man ner, so that the cost was entirely out of proportion to any benefits derived. It is possible to put on a very com prehensive programme at low cost if the work is managed rightly. We hope not only to foster competition between firms, but to promote inter departmental recreation in the indi vidual firms. This last work is even more valuable than interfirm ath letics because it reaches' a far greater number of employes." A programme such as that contem plated in Portland is by no means an experiment, as it has been tried out in many cities both in the east and west with very gratifying results. One of the strongest organizations of this kind is the Industrial and Recre ation association of Rochester, N. Y. The policy of this association is largely, one of service, the office acts as an information bureau and clear ing house, while the rules governing the various activities are drawn up and adopted entirely by the member firms through their representatives. Another well-known association is the Seneca Athletic Association of Buffalo, N. Y., which is sponsored by Buffalo community service. ' Pat erson, N. J.,- which is about the same size as Portland, has a flourishing organization which not only sponsors athletics, but other forms of recrea tion as well, such as firm smokers, community music and other kinds of entertainments. GJrla Are Included. The Paterson association also aims to reach the employed girls as well as the men. Paterson recently held its third industrial carnival, which was attended by 6000 people and which drew nearly 1000 entries from the various firms. It is not only in the east, however, that such associa tions have been successful. San Fran cisco has a large and flourishing inJ dustrial recreation society. In Se attle the proposition Is receiving con siderable attention from the Industrial Relations association, and an organi sation probably will be effected. The general value of such work has been very well stated by A. H. Wyman, of the Carnegie Steel company, who said: There are three important factors that have been strengthened through tne installation or industrial athletics. to go the fourth round to gain a de cision. They were Manning and Disk at 158, Disk winning, and Porterfield and Welker at 145, with Welker gain ing the decision in the extra round. Zeller won over Hollingsworth in the 125 weight and Hunter was awarded the decision over Bennett in the 135 weight. Courtney won over Fowler at 165 and in the 115 class Peavy and Olson were to have mixed but illness prevented. Mike Butler's boxing classes fur nished the material for - the fistic events. Clement Sharkey referred the boxing bouts and E. Duffy handled the wrestling matches. It Is planned to run off the championships next year before the varsity wrestling sea son in order to give the coaches line on more men for the team. Baseball Starts April 30.
