CLUB IS COMPLETE
Multnomah Has Up-to-Date
Department Installed at
'" Cost of $10,000.
ALL FACILITIES PROVIDED
V. J. Davics, Who Is In Charge, Says
That Treatment by Means or
Turkish Baths Is Benefi
cial to Health.
Multnomah. Amateur Athletic Club
has the best turklsh bath equipment In
the Northwest, yet the members are
just awakening to a realization of this.
Under the supervision of Alma P. Katz,
chairman of the Turkish Bath Commit
tee of the club, and the management of
A'. J. Davles. who has 20 years' experi
ence in the business, the department
has increased in popularity until the
hooks Dow show a profit instead of a
los.
installed at a cost of more than
f 10.000, the turkish bath department,
with its steam room, hot room, heated
marble rubbing slabs, needle shower.
i-y plunge and commodious sleeping
quarters, presents the very latest in
all that go to make the turklsh ath
Invaluable to athletes and those of
non-athletic proclivities.
But the turkish bath is not the -jnly
feature of the department, now that
V. J. Davids is at the helm, for he has
introduced various electrical appli
ances, including the violet ray. which,
scientifically applied, is weaning many
members away from the doctor habit.
Turkish bath, massage. Sitx bath, and
faradlc, galvanic and sinusoidal elec
tricity treatments, violet ray. radiant
heat, scalp treatment, chiropody and
Fait, oil and alcohol rubs, are included
in the list of features.
Benefit Pointed Oat.
"Many people on being asked if they
take turklsh baths will answer, 'No. 1
don't dissipate, so I don't need them.' "
says Mr. Davles. "This Is a mistake.
Every individual of sedentary habits
needs turklsh baths. I have spent
about 20 years in the occupation of
giving turklsh baths and more than 90
per cent of this work has been with
those who did not dissipate.
"The following; are some of the rea
sons why those whose occupations com
pel them to work with their brains in
stead of their muscles, or who have
reached the period when vigorous ex
erclse is no longer congenial, should
take at least one or two turklsh baths,
a week:
"First, the skin is an excretory or.
Kan containing' upwards of 3.000.000 of
pores, and should eliminate about one
third of the effete matter of the human
body, consisting of urea, carbonic acid
gas. etc. If all these pores should be
come clogcred or sealed up. one would
speedily die of self poisoning. In or
der to preserve health. It Is absolutely
necessary to keep these little sewers
open and active. The other elimtnatlve
organs will otherwise be overtaxed and
will fail to cleanse the system in a
proper manner. Next to vigorous ex
ercise, there is nothing that will In
crease the activity of the skin and aid
elimination like turklsh baths.
"Second, lack of exercise will speed
ily produce a degeneration of the tis
sues, - causing the muscles to becomt
flabby, the. cells in the connective tis
sues In the body to become filled with
fat. thus destroying their elasticity
and even cause the heart and walls of
the arteries and smaller blood vessels
to lose their necessary vigor and elas
ticity. Properly administered turklsh
baths with thorough massaging, will
soften and break down all this clog
ging matter restoring and preserving
their greatest possible efficiency.
rrvoo System Helped.
"Third There is no question but
what the kidneys, lungs, liver and di
gestive organs are aided by turklsh
Laths. I have known of cases of dia
betic, constipation, dyspepsia. bron
chitis, etc., being cured In this manner.
"Fourth There is always a profound
rffect on the nervous system in a prop
erly administered turklsh bath. The
skilled operator can produce either a
stimulating or sedative effect. In
somnia. the dread of the brain worker,
can be wonderfully relieved by this
treatment, as can also nervous irrita
bility. There are people who will tell you
t'.iry cannot take turklsh baths without
getting a headache or suffering from
exhaustion for days afterward. This Is
often due to lack of care on the part of
the attendant. It is more frequently
due. however, to the desire on the part
of the patient to stay in the hot rooms
to tho limit of endurance.
The secret of a good turklsh bath is
not to see how much heat you can en
dure, but to see how easily you can be
n-.ade to pcrsrire. The following rules
and suggestions, if followed, will in
variably prevent these disagreeable
hcquenccs and insure a beneficial effect:
1. Turkish baths should never be
taken immediately after a meal. Two
or three hours after will produce best
results.
1 Always use the hot foot bath.
This draws the blood away from the
brain and prevents headache.
2. The cold, wet towel is unnecessary
except where there is a decided ten
dency to headache. The cold towel re
tards perspiration.
4. Extreme heat is unnecessary and
is often injurious. A temperature of
from 14' to 150 degrees should produce
tr.c desired results.
J. Do not stay in the hot room too
h-ng. Prolonged heat is always ener
ating. If you are not perspiring af
ter 15 minutes you should take a warm
shower or ?o to steam room to relax
ti:e skin. One cannot be benefited by
staying more than half an hour in the
het room.
Rendlaff ot Advised.
5. Reading is not advised while In
iiot room, as It strains the optic nerves
and often produces headaches. Bring
a friend along and visit.
7. The massage or rub Is always ad
vised after the hot room, as it removes
the impurities from the pores of the
skin and restores a normal condition.
a. Should you not desire the massage
it is advisable to take a prolonged
shower of at least five minutes' dura
tion at a temperature of from SO to 85
degrees.
i. Caution should be" observed in
taking shower after turkish bath. The
force of the shower should never strike
the head first, as It drives the blood
from the brain and often produces dls
ziness. The shower should never be
below blood heat, 9s degrees, to com
mence -ith. and should then be gradu
ally reduced to about SO degrees.
10. Shocks from extreme cold water
mm ur
are seldom advisable. They produce
too vigorous a reaction and are often
injurious.
U. The use of the plunge after a
turkish bath is advised only where one
has a vigorous constitution. If you are
thin blooded or exhausted you should
, never takf it.
12. If you have heart trouble or any
'special ailment, you should always ad
I vise with the attendant.

HARD LUCK IS MET BY BOXERS
Knowlton's Illness Is Great Blow to
Multnomah Boxers.
SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 25. (Special.)
All of tbe amateur boxers who cam
from Portland and Los Angeles to take
part In the tourney held at the Olympic
Club Friday night will depart for their
homes Sunday, the Portland contingent
leaving on an early morning train,
while the Southern lads will pass the
day In sight-seeing and resting, and
will take the night train for borne.
Tbe success of the tourney is still
the chief topic In Winged "O" circles.
Bobby McAllister, the Olympic heavy
weignt who easily disposed of tbe Port
:and antagonist, is coming in for much
enthusiastic comment, while a great
deal of sympathy is being expressed for
the hard luck experienced by the Port
land boys almost from the moment of
their arrival here.
Walter Knowlton, the 135-pound
champion of the Northwest, who was
to meet Glen Stanley, of the OlytnpU
Club, was taken suddenly ill Friday
murning and could not appear. Knowl
ton suffered a severe attack of grippe
but is somewhat better tonight.
Knowlton had trained hard for two
months in preparation for his bout and
nis sudden streak of hard luck deeply
disappointed him. as well as the
Multnomah Club's veteran trainer,
Tommy Traccy, who came south with
as charges.
As If Knowlton's illness were not
enough, an unkind fate persouifled by
one Bob McAllister threw more gloom
u tho Portland camp by decisively de
feating Tad Derbyshire, the heavy
weight from the north, whom the Mult
nomah Club boys had hoped to see
overthrow the Coast champion.
Derbyshire frankly admits that the
local boy is too much for him. "I was
-orry at the time that Tracey tossed
the towel in the ring," he said yester
day, "because I didn't think McAllister
could knock me out, but I suppose it
was the right thing, for he certainly
iad me going and I knew that I had
no chance to win. McAllister is a
mighty clever man, and is fast as
lightning."
Stanley Fay, who refereed the bouts,
also is enthusiastic over the work of
the young Olympian. "McAllister both
in physical appearance and in his ring
work, is a counterpart of old Joe
Choynski." declared Fay. "To see him
box now is to have seen Choynski box
in his prime. The surprising part Is
that the youngster handles himself
with the coolness and Judgment of an
old ring veteran. His Judgment of dis
tance is splendld'and his blows are ac
curate and as hard as a trip hammer."
The Los Angeles boys are returning
home with three important victories to
their credit. . George Lammerson, the
fast 125-pounder, who gave Frank
Malone. of the Olympic Club, such a
tough tussle for his Coast title in the
recent Los Angeles tournament, suc
ceeded in reversing the tables on his
former antagonist and is highly elated
thereat.
As this was, a series of special
matches and not a sanctioned Cham-1
ptonshtp tourney, Malone does not lose
his title, but the Los Angeles boys are
nevertheless greatly pleased at Lam
merson's victory. "Bui" Hughes, the
Los Angeles boy, who holds the Coast
.tghtweight championship, also upheld
the prestige of his club by getting tn
decision over Phil Nonnan, popular
Olympic Club boxer. Tho third vic
tory of Los Angeles came when Pete
Towne took a gory decision from R.
Hake, of the Olympic Club.
Coach Bach, of the Columbia Univer
sity soccer football team, was not sur
prised when his boys tailed to defeat
the Jefferson High School boys. 'Three
of my best men are away from-school
this year and I have had great trouble
in replacing men in their positions,"
said Mr. Bach yesterday. "The game
with Jefferson that resulted In a 2 to
2 tie did not surprise me. The day be
fore the game a number of players re
turned to school and did not have time
to prepare for the game and the result
was that their showing was not what
It should have been."

MACHINE MADE FOR. SAFETY
Boat Combines Aeroplane and Water
Vessel, Gives All Thrills of Avia
tion but Protects Against
Chance of Death.
Silas Christofferson, the Portland avi
ator, is an Inventor as well as a bird
man. Ho has constructed an "aerial
yacht," which combines the aeroplane
with an aquatic craft, giving the trav
eler all of the thrills of the aerial soar
ing with the safety of a staunch boat.
Chrlstcfferson's new Model D flying
boat is similar to the one produced by
the Curtlss Company, but has a number
of " conveniences and safety devices
which are essentially new. The craft is
designed to carry two passengers, in
stead of one, who ride in a luxuriously
upholstered cockpit furnished in ma
hogany, and fully protected from spray.
Instead of the usual pontoons, a regu
lar boat has been provided with six
air tight compartments with a total
floating capacity of 4009 pounds,
against a total weight of 1300 pounds
for the craft. The hull is 24 feet six
inches long and three feet wide. The
engine, set in the boat, is SO-horse-power.
and the power is transmitted to
YOUNG VANCOUVER AVIATOR AND HIS NEW COMMERCIAL FLYING MACHINE.

of the boat uncovered is the cockpit,
which is fully protected from spray.
Self-starter and electric lighting sys

the exhaust so arranged as to heat the
seating space in cold weather.
The Christofferson Aviation Company
has been organized, with "Si" at its
head, and the biggest stockholders are
Oregon people. An aeroplane factory
is in operation at San Francisco.-
The Aerial Taeht Company, now be

BIRTHDAY CONGRATULATIONS.
Joe Coster.
Joe Angello, known as Joe Coster
to all followers of the boxing game,
was born In Palmero, Sicily, Janu
ary 26, 18S9. He came to America as
a youngster and at the age of 16
started on his career as a fighter.
In bis time Joe has met some of the
best flKhters of his class, among them
Pal Moore, Phil JIcGovern, Jimmy
Walsh, Rlz Mackey, Frankle Burns,
Tommy O'Toole, Abe Attell. "Knock
Out" Brown and Johnny Coulon. He
mot his first defeat In 1910, when
he was knocked out by Harry Forbes.'
Later in the same year he came back
and slapped the haymaker on Young
Dyson and Kid Bernstein. Coster
evidently met with a Jinx in 1911,
for after winning from Frankle Con
ley he lost In succession to Joe Man
dot. Joe Rivers and Patsy Kline. Last
year the Sicilian won from Ty Cobb,
lost to Frankle Russell and fought a
draw with Jack White. In Brooklyn
several weeks ago be" won from "Irish
Paddy" Callyhan on a foul.

Fan Discovers Mistake.
I Immediately divined that the
young umpire who was working the
plate with me that day, had called the
last delivery a strike, retiring the
side. I started for my position at
first base. In the meantime practically
all tne players were in the field, and
most of the New Yorkers sitting on
the bench. Some fan in the stand,
who had evidently noticed that the
umpire had not raised his right arm
on the last ball delivered' to Lewis,
shouted:
"Say, unip, what did you call that
last one on Lewis?".
"I called it a ball," shouted back the
obliging arbitrator. Immediately there
was a chorus from the stand: .
"Well in that case . there are only
two men out." This cry was taken up
by everybody in the grounds it seemed,
and in a few moments I'll bet there
were a thousand arguments as to the
number of men really out. Players ran
hither and thither, while word came

on Lewis, instead of striking him out
as was generally Deueveu, we rou
that only two men were out. Now for
the funny part of it, for about this
time every fan in the grounds was
having the laugh of his life at the ex
pense of us fellows on the field.
Crowd Enjoys Laugh.
The Boston players were motioned In
from their positions in the field, while
the New Yorkers hustled out to their
places from the bench. In the interim
. v. Ann.i4 was hnttlnsr T. () 0 In the
Laugh League, and calling every man
on the field, umpires included, the
lnnnehHri Rarrv." It was
such a good one that we were all
forced to smile, summing tne ias imu

position, and made the situation all
the more ludicrous by aoing tne nsm
thing, swinging at the first ball pitched
i L.in. It rAtlHnr the side sure
enough. Then the players shifted sides
again. it reaiiy must, nave .o.n.cn .v
least 10 minutes to get that last strike
over on Lewis. It is the only Instance
I know of where every soul connected
with the playing end of the game
thought the side was retired when only
two men were down. .
Art Griggs, of the Cleveland club,
last season, but a member of the St.
Louis club at the time I refer to, was
the central figure in an incident
that was almost as unique as the one
I have Just related. Conditions were
exactly reversed in this case, as the
fans, not the players, were tho ones
confused as to the number of men re
tlied. It produced a situation even
more perplexing, as there was no ay
to remedy the trouble.
A double header had been staged
on tbe Sunday in question in St. Louis.
The Browns had been soundy trounced
In the first game and were getting an
equally severe trimming in the second.
The fans naturally were in anything
but a pleasant mood as a result of the
poor showing of their favorites. As is
usually the case they forgot about
baseball, and started to have just as
much fun as they could at the expense
of the players and umpires.
Plnck Hitters Cause Mlx-lp.
In St. Louis it was customary at that
time, to have special policemen In
charge of the exit gates. One of their
duties, was to unfasten these gates, just
as soon as the last man of the game
was retired, in order to make it easier
for the crowd to get away. In the last
half of the ninth in the second game,
a number of pinch hitters were sent
Into the ftay to try to start a belated
rally. Dode Crlss was the first pinch
hitter I believe, and he filed out. Art
Griggs was then sent up to hit for
someone. With the count two and two.
the pitcher sent up a ball over the
heart of the plate, mighty close to the
knee. It was a pitch that could have
been called a ball or strike, and there
wouldn't have been much of a dispute. I
called it a ball, but Griggs evidently
thought it was a strike, as he started
for the bench. Because of the noise
of the crowd, it was impossible to hear
the call of the umpire. It was also be
fore the system of raising the right
arm for a strike was in vogue. When
Griggs started on a trot to the bench,
the crowd naturally thought he was out
on strikes, making the second out of
the inning. I supposed Griggs was go
ing to the bench to change bats. When
he made no effort to return, I called
him back, and Informed him he had an
other strike coming to him.
It was impossible for the officers in
charge of the outfield bleacher exits
to recognize Griggs as the same man.
If I am not mistaken I believe it was
Grigg's first appearance before a St.
Louis crowd. He hit the very first
ball pitched to the second baseman, and
was retired at first. Just as the ball
struck the first baseman's glove, the
exits were thrown open, and before
the people could be made to understand
that only two men were out, at least
5000 people were swarming over the
field. An effort was made to clear the
park, but to no avail. The third out In
the ninth tnning of that game was
never completed.
A minor league umpire, who worked
In the Ohio and Pennsylvania League
In 1910, tells me of a happening in the
organization that is even more incred
ible than the two I have related. I
can easily see how the umpire got
mixed, because half the time the um
pire has no idea as to the score or in
ning. Very often after a game I am a
bit in doubt as to the final score.
In this contest, the opening game of
the season at Akron, the home team
won 4 to . It remained for the small
boy who kept the scoreboard to break
up the game. In some way he added
an extra inning, and when Youngstown
failed to score in the first of the
eighth, players and spectators left the
field, thinking the game was over, as
the scoreboard showed eight completed
innings when Youngstown went to the
bat. Attention was called to the error
by the scorers, just as soon as they
could get to the umpire, but It was im
possible to get the athletes back, and
th6 game was never finished. Some
funny things happen in baseball, be
lieve me.

LINCOLN'S LOSS IS HEAVY

Athletic Veterans Who Finish

Course This Year; Washington
to Give Up Sensation.
There will be few athletes among the
graduates of the February classes of
the Portland high schools, but next
June will mark the passing out of
what probably will be the largest num
ber of star athletes to graduate from
the high schools at any one time. Tho
June graduates will outnumber the
February class. 15 to 9.
The following is a list of the Lincoln
graduates this year: February class
William Tuerck. Tom Greer, Ted Hearty
and Bob Ftnke. June class Billy
Lewis, Lawrence Gage. Xavier Clearin.
James Dudley. Jake Kisely, Elvin Con

February graduates Nate Anderson,
Edwin Thomas and Blair HolcoraU.
June graduates Lawrence Lister, Earl
Flagel, William Williams. Robert lie
Murray and Clarence Hendrlckson.
Tnerek In Bis Loss.
The Lincoln and Jefferson High
schools will be the heaviest losers by
the graduations, Lincoln losing 11 men
and Jefferson 8. The graduation ot
William Tuerck- will be a big loss to
the Lincoln High SIhool. Tuerck has
made a record for himself as a star
baseball pitcher, football player and
track man. The Lincoln baseball team
success was due greatly to the star
twirling of Tuerck. For the past three
years he has made the all-star inter
scholastic soccer eleven. He played cen
ter forward. In 1309 Tuerck finished
fifth in the interscholastlc cross-country
run. In which 35 athletes competed.
The 1913 Lincoln baseball nine will '
greatly miss the playing of Ted
Heartv, whose star playing at third
base also contributed to the success of
the team.
Few interscholastlc football players
tried to make yardage through Bob
Finke, guard on the Lincoln eleven.
That part of the line was a stone wall.
Tom Greer, captain of last year s Lin
coln baseball team, who handled the
team In great style, leaves school in
Februarv. Billy Lewis is one of the
best interscholastlc basketball for
wards, and should the Lincoln team win
the championship it will be due largely
to the star work of Lewis. His bas
ket shooting Is a feature of every
game. The 1913 Lincoln football team
