The Inspection' was followed by a banquet for the officers and press. Though the plans of the new build ing Indicated that it would be one of the most beautiful plants of its kind In the city and Northwest, It took i trip through it to show just what Port' land's first athletic club has given to the city. The Portland Turnverein was organized - in 1858. Its membership was always limited because of the lim ited accommodations. Now the Turnverein has a building able to care for a membership of sev eral thousand, but that building will soon be taxed at the rate members are Joining. Dr. F. H. Dammasch acted as the es cort for the visitors. One of the fea tures of the building will be the im mense hall on the third floor. This hall will serve for the dramatic socie ties and singing clubs of the verein. . On the second floor are the members club rooms. The banquet served as a means of acquainting the visitors with some of the objects of the club. Dr. Dam masch acted as chairman. "In every community where the Turnverein is established, the organ fiation is always a big civic factor for the good of the city. Its membership is democratic In principle, said Dr, Dammasch. "While of German extraction. Its membership is open to all nations. We believe that the very principle of the institution leads toward, tne Dettermen of the city. vv hue the Turn verein is essen tially athletic by nature and origin, its fields of endeavor are many. It is everyman's club." . Rudolph Hochuli, captain of the gym nasiuro teams, spoke of the German system of athletics as practiced by the Turn Verein. "The German system teaches the de velopment, not of the unit, but of the lass." said Mr. Hochuli. "While the Turn Verein occasionally develops th specialized star. Its object is the brin ing put of the drilled class of athletes. l no juniors from o years up are drilled until they become the apparatu experts at 18 to 2a. "This does not mean that we over look the elders. Special work is out lined for them." A pleasing part of the- banquet was the musical accompaniment by th double quartet. Other speakers were: W. P. Strand borg, for the newspaper men; Otto Schumann, Martin Dudel, editor of the Nachrichten; John Mathiesen and Rich ard Genserowski, instructor of the club. The formal opening of the Turn Verein will begin with the ceremonies next week. All week there will be a series of exhibitions and a German country fair in the gymnasium.

Gilroore ex plained why the Federals have induced, as claimed, two St. Louis American players, Hamilton and Clemens, to Jump to Federal League clubs of his organization. It was simply a case of retaliation, he said. "Organised baseball went after plav- ere who had signed with us, the Kan sas City team suffering In particular," jilmore asserted. In all, five players were taken from the Federal League clubs, to which they had bound them selves by signed contracts. Naturally, we might be expected to be entitled to the same procedure, so I gave permis sion to our clubs to go out and get one signed player for every signed Federal Leaguer who might be taken from us. That is why we have taken Hamilton and Clemens." 3 0,000 FANS AWAIT FEDERALS Seats at Baltimore Opening- Game Go to a Premium. BALTIMORE. Md.. April 12. (Spe cial.)

"If the teams observe the salary limit they will go through the season with out difficulty, if I am ever convinced that any team is attempting to go over the salary limit I am going to stop lt if lt breaks up the league, for that is what lt will amount to if al lowed to go unchecked. "Neither will I stand for any rowdy ball playing. The action of Varlan, of the Pendleton team. In today's game Is Inexcusable and will not be allowed to pass unnoticed." Varian rushed at the umpire when called out on strikes.

Donnelly, of Monticello, Utah, asked for an express shipment of one dozen Fulton's Renal Compound for Bright's Disease and Dropsy. The stage driver got mixed on the address and the package went astray. It took considerable corre spondence to locate it. but the search has terminated happily, as per the fol lowing: "Have received the medicine that I failed to get through an error of the Transfer Company. Have taken almost two bottles and can notice a change for the better already. Wishing you suc cess, etc." The ability of Fulton's Renal Com pound to reduce albumen in many cases of Bright's Disease is a FACT IN PHYSICS, to prove which we will mail formula for albumen test that will show the. percentage from week to week. As the albumen declines Im provement commonly follows; recov eries having been reported In thousands of cases. Formula and literature mailed on request. John J. Fulton Co., San Francisco. Adv.
