map will be enlarged considerably when
the Portland Turn Verein holds its first
classes in the new building on Thir

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.

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

That gymnasium Is the particular
pride of Richard Oenserowslti, the man

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

rls Dunne welcomes the new club and it
will be duly registered In a week or
two.

Washington High Meets Co
lumbia University Tuesday.
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.

Chamberlain twirled for the railroad

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.
Byrnes was goinr to make the swim
on Friday afternoon but decided not
to after trying the water. His swim
yesterday showed that he could muster
the grit.

Jack E. Cody, swimming instructor

This is the first time that Cody has

His name has been mentioned at varl

"While others have mentioned me

was placed in the hands of Frank E.
Watkins, of the Multnomah Club, and
I sent a challenge to Conroy.
"Conroy at first was eager to take

ground lhat it was in violation of the

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 Alley management has
ordered the new pins and bills for Ufe
in the Northwest Congress in April.
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.

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.
