No club will have a more modern plant. The building is a large and .try one placed on property with a 100-foot frontage and Jiiti-toot uepth. The structure, four stories high, with the ground!) and equipment, will cost about $100,000 or more. Though fostcrea ' throu'ii its infancy by the Uerman-speaking population of Portland, the usochuou .wii' a;.'o lost nativity or descent from Germany as a . requirement for membership and the club is an athletic organization like any other.

The front of tne btiiltin.s; in of red g'azed brick with white border of ce ment and mjlal. It is in two sections, th i front being four stories high and tha gymnasium annex about three. The part facing Thirteenth street will be essentially a clubhouse, with loung ing roomf, a small lectui-.-roui.i artu a large hall upstairs for the social af fairs of the club. This wilt be one of tt . largest dancing floors of the city. The equipment of the rooms down stairs will be luxurious and on a par with the fittings of any of the larger strictly social clubs. In the basement of this part of the building will be a dining-room solely for members. This will occupy a room about 60 by 50 feet. Of the remaining: space, part .will be devoted to two bowl ing alleys, and a small gymnasium ex clusively for the use of men more than ?0 years old. The house has its own heating- plant. The rear part of the structure is de voted entirely to the athletic features if the club. The gymnasium is a large one. The actual playing space is 85 by 65 feet and the height over all Is 28 Teet. That gymnasium Is the particular pride of Richard Oenserowslti, the man who has drilled and handled the classes f the Portland Vereln for the past four or five years. There is none better lighted." The windows are plenty, but at a height Well above the heads of those In the lym. The roof practically is all sky light. There will be nearly $5000 worth of equipment on the new floor. The gymnasium has no running truck, but the overhead at one end is provided with a spectators' qrallery ca pable of seating several hundred persons. Padded wrestling and boxing rooms are located in the same building. Underneath the gymnasium is the tank. This is 20 feet wide and 60 feet lo..g, making It large enough for offi cial records of the Amateur Athletic Union. Shower baths and steam rooms for both men and women members of the rlub are arranged at opposite e ds of the tank room. The tank Is of cement, enameled white. The bottom is so curved that the change from shallow to deep is more sudden than usually found. This gives the divers and the wallowers in the shallow end both Viore room of the kind to their special advantage. All classes will for the time being be taken care of by Richard Genser owski. . Instructor Is Experienced. The instructor is a graduate of the Normal College of Indianapolis. Before coming to Portland he was connected with the Turn Verein of Chicago and the playground system of the Windy City. That hia system brings results would seem to be the ense from the cham pionships which the Portland classes nave won at the different conclaves of the National societies. The growth of the Portland Turn Ve rein has been remarkable. That It will contlnue'to grow and become an active competitive body In the local and Northwest amateur field is the fondest . hope of the officers. The association has not as yet taken eut a sanction from the Pacific North west Amateur Association, but T. Mor rls Dunne welcomes the new club and it will be duly registered In a week or two. Dr. F. H. Dammasch Is president of tne Turn Vereln. MITES' LIGHT TKAM IS FAST Vancouver lloaf Basketball Squad Wins Seven Gaines Straight. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Spe cial.)

ONTEST TO OPEN SEASON Both Teams Ready for Interscho- lastlc Buttle After Two Months' Practice Portland Academy to Play Jefferson High. The opening of the 1914 soccer sea son in the Portland Interscholastio League will be celebrated Tuesday af ternoon when the Columbia University and the Washington High School settle their differences. As yet no definite arrangements have been made as to where the game will be played, but the two most likely places are the Jeffer son High School grounds and the Co- lumoia L'niversity campus. In eithei instance the match will start at 3:15 o'clock. lioth aggregations have been practic ing diligently for two months, and sev eral pre-season contests have been played by both. The Columbia Univer sity team played the fast Mount Scott team to a 1-to-l tie last week, and the Portland Academy team fell before Washington High by a score of 3 to 2 last Wednesday. The season last year was a disas trous one, as no settlement of the 1513 title was made, owing to several pio tests. The standing of the league left Jefferson High tied with the Columbia University for the leadership. Coach "Scotty" Duncan's Jefferson High team won all its matches, but the protest against them in one of the games caused it to be thrown out, and, as the Interest began to die out, the champion ship was never settled. This year will see few changes In the lineups of the various schools, and the only team to suffer much is Captain Tannensee's Lincoln High squad. At present the West Side team has no field of its own, and has either to go way up to West Knd field, , a distance of more than a mile from the school, or play on a hnlf block across from the Institution. This is the only school in the league that does -not have a field.

Just to show that the derision hand ed him was entirely out of place, Er roll Byrnes, the Portland Amateur Swimming Association swimmer who won second place : in ' the Christmas swim, swam from the Madison to the Broadway bridge in exactly 30 minutes. Byrnes swam that stretch in water colder than that of the Christmas week without company. He failed by three minutes to break the time of Ludwlg and McMurray, who swam the nmi distance two weeks ago in 27 minutes, Byrnes was favored with the same swift current that McMurray and Lud- wig had. but his showing was taken to be the equal of that of his predeces sors. Byrnes was exhausted when he ar rived at the Albers Dock where i grojip of friends took charge and rubbed him back to normal circulation, Byrnes lost considerable time zig zagging back and fortii across the river instead of keeping In close to the west shore from which he started ano ended and along which the current would have been much stronger. "I consider Byrnes' showing about the gamest thing any swimmer has done in Portland since the sport has becomo recognized," said Professor Ludwlg last night. "Byrnes went on sheer grit. He had no one in the water with him and this made the feat all the greater. Such a swim is a task for any man even in Summer, but the Winter swimmer should certainly be handed the palm.

Spares and Strikes W EDDELIS high score of 286 made on the Saratoga Alleys a week ago. remains' the best of the month for bowlers on either set of skids. Port land bowlers, on the whole, have been hitting the alleys at a better pace thin heretofore. It is a noticeable fact that many of the old-time bowlers who have an nounced their retirement are coming back and that the younger ones ars seen around the alleys more frequently. Chitry won the "most-200-score" con test, rolling 49 games with totals over 200. The Oregon House League today stands. W. L. Pct.t w. L. Pet.

These will be for all alleys and will give the visiting and Portland bowlers every chance to make good scores in the- big tourney. Posters and advertising- matter for the congress are now being shipped out and from now on Secretary Ball will be busy working up Interest in the bij tournament. One fact which the Portland Tourna ment Association is playing up Is that 80 per cent of the prize money will go to the bowlers, leaving 20 per cent for the alleys and the management. This is less "over head'' than the bowlers have ever had -and a feature which probably will appeal to the bowl ers. B, O. Case has cinched the high scorj for "the month in the Oregon Alley con test. His best was -69, rolled two weeks ago. The Saratoga ragtime had 43 teams during the month of January. First place Is held by Russell and Merrick, who rolled 1128, Arens andvNovak had 1114 and Hare "and Tetty hold third, 10S7. Barney Goss. of Vancouver assure.; Portland five teams in a recent let ter. Tentative reports from other cities of the Northwest assure Portland as many and there is little question that the outsiders will be well represented. It now remains for Portland to show more signs of interest. There should be 50 teams entered from the Portland following of the game. as. When W. D. Thompson, the Chicago organizer of the game spoke ot the new Pacific Bowllnpr Association, he mentioned that San Francisco would come north with probably six teams. They would view it as an advertise ment for the big congress of bowling men to be held at the Panama-Pacific Fair in 1915. San Francisco soon will put out a three-man team which will tour the country as far as New York. These men will bowl exhibition games on all the alleys and also will have a moving picture film with them. Mrs. Pike's challenge to any wo man bowler in Portland or Oregon re mains unanswered. It is the hope of the Portland bowlers that one of the National champions may be brought here for the Congress session of the bowlers. It is thought that one of the leading- women of San Francisco - may accompany the contingent from that city for some exhibition games during the April Congress. Kubc lloblnson Signs Contract. ST.
