MITCHELL Drawings will be started this week for the new 1100.000 clubhouse of the Irvlnston Club, announcement of th proposed construction of which wa made in The Oregonlan two weeks ago. Though It was then declared that the 1100,000 home was a future liopo. tt was not even expected that the under taking would be started so early, but after the big house-warming party F.'i. day night In the newly enlarged club house It ws practically decided to start plans atetiire and President Wood ward named a committee to start "th ball a-rolllng. The house-warming party provc.l a big success, over 300 enjoying: cards and dsncing. the dancing floor being crowd ed to capacity and the social commit tee wa mor than satisfied. Rvssfl Robla Tanraey Is Plan. Chairman Edgar of the tennis com mittee Is also among (lie happy ones, for he predicts a great tennis year, and to this end will Inaugurate a round robin tennla tournament among the Irvington Club tennis players, which will prove beneficial to all partici pating. The plan Is to start the tournsmen early and no time limit will be placed for. if necessary. Mr. Edgar would keep up Interest in the sport all Summer long and would give every member the chance to play every other member, good, bad or Indifferent at the game. Mr. EdfCar is also desirous of ere sting new talent, in the club and de veloping such new taient as already has been shown to exist among the Junior membere of the organization The women, young and old, too. will not be neglected, for Chairman Edgar delights in the game of mixed doubles, and this fact alone may he taken as evidence that the fair sex will find much to Interest them In the game of tennis at the Irvington Club this year. Committee Meets Tb Is Week. Mr. Edgar will call his committee to gether for a meeting some time this week or as soon as the return of Ralph Gorrill to the city makes It possible for the -trio to confer, and It Is ex pected that plans will be laid then for the annual .Spring handicap tourney, which generally opens the season on the clay courts locally. Following the lead of the Tacoma Tennis Club, It is probable that Chair man Edgar will make efforts to pro cure some crack California or Eastern tennis players, men or women or both as added attractions at one or more of the tournaments which will be pulled off on the Portland courts during the year. Two big affairs for the Multnomah courts again this year will be the tour nament of the club versus the Unlver slty of Oregon players, which Is sched uled for early in Mny, and the annual state tournament in August, though there have been requests heard that that tournament this year be played on clay courts entirely. No chairman of the Multnomah ten jils committee for this year will be named till the new president or the club Is chosen but it Is probable that A. B. McAlpln will be renamed, as he has made a success In the tennis de partment during his terms at the head of the tennis committee. OKKdO.V CITY MGHTWHKiHT, 1SUEKKATKD, OE SOVTB KOIt BATTLES.

WM. f . . .: - f I t nil --rry " -- '' I'M CLEVER C. Lewis Mead Tells of Swim ming Tryouts in Hawaii. SUPERSTITION HALTS PLAN Sailor lYom Battleship Colorado Drowns In Bay as Events Are About to Be Held and Natives Shun Water for Time. C. Lewis Mead, a well-known Port-' land man, has just returned from a long trip to the Orient. In the Ha waiian Islands he saw the tryouts for the swimmer to represent the Mid Pacific In the Olympic games. "Duke Kahana Moku, the dash man who finally won the championship of that tryout by swimming; 100 yards In 67.2 seconds. Is considered quite a man and the people of the Islands are confident that their representative will do thing at the meets in this country ajid Europe." said Mr. Mead. "Al t hough this was the official record made In the elimination swim, he has bettered that mark by more than two seconds. The reason advanced for. Ills not beating the record then was that the floating barge from which he got hts start was too unstable to allow his getting away In Kood form." The tryouts were organized by the officer of the United States battle ships, which happened to be in the harbor at the time. The series was not quite ss successful as could have been expected, because of the untimely death of a sailor named Schaefer on the battleship Colorado. Schaefer drowned near the dock from which the tryouts were to be started. According to the native superstitions, anyone jro Ing into water containing a dead body will lle also, so the native entrants consisted mainly of men brave in spirit but wesk as swimmers. Even Duke Moku refused to enter the water, say ing that he was certain to be attacked bv sharks. On the third day sfter th sailor's death, Moku happened to be walking along the shore and saw the floating bodv. H got It out or tne wster mm self, and according to the beliefs this would- dispel the danger. After he had disported in the water for some time, others took heart and the events finallv were held. The second man of the party consists of Vincent Gcnoes. who is considered a good half-mller. having covered the distance in It minutes and 68 sec onds at the tryouts. He has bettered that, though, having made the same course In 13 minutes and 3 seconds. The expense of the swimmers' trip Is being psld out of a fund of $3000 raised by the citlxens of Honolulu. Moku and Genoes will take In all the Imnortant swimming centers of the world. Borne Portland men think that the Hawallans will not be able to do as good in this country, however, because of the change of climate and food.

TROlTDALfi, Oor., March 2. (Spe cial.) Complete destruction of the county bridge across the Sandy River has been effected by means of dyna mite at the instance of the County Court, the object being: to replace the structure with a newer and better bridge. A force of men Is now clearing away the wreck so as to make room for the new structure, which will be of an Improved pattern and wholly of steel, with three spans, one of which will be longer than the other two, all built on concrete piers. As the lack of a bridgre across the Handy River at this place Is of great Inconvenience to a large settlement, a ferryboat Is belnrr built to accommodate the traffic until the new bridge is built. Rural carrier No. 2, who serves the district beyond tho Sandy, has arranged to keep his horses ami wagon across the river and then finds his own way back and forth by walking the ties of the railroad bridpe through favor of a special permit, that bridge being closed to all other traffic except trains.

Portland is to contribute in the neigh borhood of $2000 to the JT5.000 fund be ing raised to send an athletic squad to represent America at the Olympic games at Stockholm. Sweden, in July, his amount having been pledged, to President Oustavus Kirby, of the Ama teur Athletic Union, at an Informal banquet and reception at the Multno mah Hotel yesterday noon. Following an address by President Kirby. who is on a tour of the coun try in the Interests of the Olympic games and the Playgrounds Associa tion, a committee of 25 prominent mem bers of the Multnomah club was named to take charge of the raisins of the money, as follows: T. Morris. Dunne, chairman: Walter A. Holt. Edgar Frar.k, A. H. Allen. Dow Walker. Dr James C. Zan, Frank E. Watkins, B. D. Slgler. James F. Ewing, H. H. Herdman. Jr.; A. B. McAlpln, H. E. Judge. 15. IT. Schmeer. Robert H. Strong. A. M. Ellsworth. F. H. Ran som J. A. Addleman. Ralph Wilbur. James B. Kerr. Frederick Pe N'offe, C. S. Barton. Lou Kennedy, Clement W. Ausman. Robert Cronin and Roscoe Kawcett. Severat Plana SuKgeated. Several schemes were suggested by those present but it is highly probable that the committee will center upon an athletic entertainment by the women's classes in the new gymnasium, fol lowed by a dance, and upon the Port land int'ersoliolastic track and field meet, which will be staged at Multno mah field under the ausplcea of the club, revenue from which ia to be add ed to the Olympic treasury, per a sug gestion by H. H. Herdman. Jr. Bellah, Wolff and other prominent Olympic candidates will also appear at this meet unless the committee deems it advisable to promote in addition an indoor meet prior to the opening of the outdoor season In this event athletes from Oregon, Oregon Agricultural Col lege and Willamette will be imported to vie with Multnomah. At a similar indoor meet last week San Francisco raised $600. T. Morris Dunne is treasurer of the Olympic fund committee for the Pa cific Northwest, and he will appoint sub-committeemen at Tacoma. Seattle and Spokane within the next few days. President Kirby confirmed the report that the American squad, over 100 strong, will Journey to Stockholm aboard a specially chartered steamship, the Finland, which sails from New York on June 14. This ship will con tain every convenience. An eighth ot a mile running track will be laid on the upper deck, together with dirt filled pits for the field athletes. Here shot-putting, jumping and other events of similar character can be practiced. A swimming pool and gymnasium will also be part of the equipment and, under the eyes of Trainer Mike Mur phy, the athletes and the training tahio chefs will be obliged to do their best. Cost of Boat Will Be 7n,0OO. The cost of the Finland will be con siderably over $70,000, and to lighten the burden falling upon the Olympic committee it has been decided to re serve a part of the boat's accommoda tions for tourists, members of the Amateur Athletic Union, who may wish to travel to Sweden for the games, and other Interesting features. As planned at present there will be accommoda tions for some 250 persons with a charge of from $400 to $500. This will Include every expense for the trip, even to a reserved section in the stadium. Some 250 seats have been secured. The round trip will require about, two months. It takes 10 days to reach Stockholm, but a two-day stop will be mado at Antwerp. The steamer will anchor off Stockholm, three blocks from the stadium, about June 26 or 27. The atbietes and tourists will live on the boat and have plenty of time for the finishing touches as the opening day of the meet Is scheduled for Satur day, July 6. President Kirby will reach Stoikhoim several days ahead of the team The tryouts for the American team win be held in three different sections. The Eastern trials will be staged at the Harvard stadium, Cambridge, Mass., Saturday, June 8. The Pacific Coast meet Is scheduled at Palo Alto, May IS, and the Middle Western games go to Marshall Field ot the University of, Chicago on a date yet to be selected. The team will be chosen at a meeting at Boston, Sunday, June 9. Keen Eye to Be Kept. "From now on we Americans will keep a sharp eye on the track perform ances In the other 40 nations which will be represented at Stockholm," said" Mr. Kirby yesterday. "What will give a , line on the work of the topnotchers In ' foreign countries will be their home championships and tryouts." So far aa known Australia is the only country which lias already con ducted the tryouts. No world's cham pionships' were broken, but the per formances, if Australia joins hands with England as one team, are signifi cant. There were capital feats in the 100 and 120-yard hurdles, the former being negotiated by R. Opie in 9 4-5 and the latter by G. P. Keddell in 15 2-5 sec onds. It is said a breeze helped the runners and no doubt there Is truth in it, for 9 4-5 seconds for the 100-meter seems too good to be true. E. A. Soutliey of New South Wales, won the broad JiimP with it feet. U4 Inches. Kirby addressed a playgrounds meet. Ing last night at the Unitarian Church and will leave today for Seattle and Spokane and on East. He was taken on a tour of the city by T.
