SAN FRANCISCO, April 2. — The \
management of the Portland Ice Hip t
podrome announced that the lug rink c
may not he open next winter, due to j i
Hie lack of patronage. The Pacific '
Association ice hockey matches have j 1
been played in this rink, and follow- j
ers of the sport are wondering just ' f
what effect it will have on the game j i
here. The Hippodrome already has ■ t
been closed for the summer and its ( t
machinery is manufacturing ice for t
consumption. i
Cvery winter the big plant refriger- ti
ates the big skating floor and every t
summer competes on the local ice
market, while the piped floor is board- \
ed over and used for conventions and <
shows. t
Portland's rink is said to be the \
largest enclosed sheet of ice in the v
world. It is 212 feet long and 75 feet t
wide. Fourteen miles of inch and a t
ipiarter pipe lies under the immense
sheet of ice. g
Regulation hockey rinks arc but g
270 feet long, but the grandstand at s
one end is built on rollers and rolled I
up to the regulation length for hockey <
games and then rolled back to the |
end of the building for public skating.
According lo the announcement,
while it is unlikely that the building
will be utilized for skating next win- s
ter, it is planned to keep the floor t
boarded over for general gatherings, e

As far as the Pacific coast is con- p
cerned there is a diversity of opinion
as to the probable success with which
baseball will meet this year. Much s
is expected to depend, of course, on f
(he trend of international events, (iolf s
and tennis officials in Portland have 9
expressed the opinion that there is ~
a growing tendency among the peo- 1
pie to take up these two games in
which they can be active participants |
instead of merely a spectator as at a ‘
baseball game.
That the automobile has made in
roads in the attendance is generally
admitted, but baseball officials are
showing no outward evidence of worry
over the situation, and preparations
have been made all over the Pacific
coast circuit to usher in the season
with the usual elaborate ceremonies
in which the city officials have ac
cepted the invitation to take an active
part.
Itcrilamls, Cali lorn ia, has just dedi- !
cated the municipal golf course. A
general and informal holiday was *
made of the occasion by closing stores
in the city, while the citizens joined
in the celebration. Practically every
important city on the Pacific coast
now has a public course, or one in the
making, and it is becoming evident *
that the smaller cities are determined
not to lie outdone. This is borne out *
by the fact that these towns are re- *
ported to be considering ways and '
means of adding a course to the list *
of their public attractions and amuse *
ments. '
(loiters on the Pacific coast hold to '
the opinion that the game is growing
in this locality faster than in any other 1
part of the country, due largely to the 1
fact that in a large portion of the
territory climatic conditions are such '
that the game may be played virtual 1
ly all the year. Such statistics as are
available show a remarkable progress '
not only in the number of players en ‘
rolled in the various organized clubs *
but in the number of new courses that *
have been laid out.
__ i
Hundreds of Oregon fishermen and _
hunters are purchasing their state li
censes before May 21, for on that date *
a law passed by the last legislature
goes into effect and increases the cost
of licenses from $1 to $1.50. Carl D.
Shoemaker, state game warden at
Portland, says there has been an un
precedented rush for licenses recent
ly, probably because of the increase.
Under the new law fishermen may
take fifty trout, or thirty-five pounds
a day, instead of seventy-five trout
as at present. The law provides that
women need not purchase fishing li
censes. Hunting licenses, however,
will be required of them.
The Inter-City Baseball League,
composed of eight teams, in Oregon
and Washington, near Portland, has
practically completed its plans for the
1917 season, which opens April 8 and
closel August 19. Seven of the teams
will be from Salem, Samas, Hillsboro,
Woodburn, McMinnlvllle, Portland
West Side and Portland Hast Side.
Attempts are being made to have the
eight teams from Hillsboro.

GREELEY, Colo., April 3. — Type
writing to music is the latest step in
he advance of business college edit- j
ational methods, and it is a success,
ccording to instructors at the State
'eachers' College here, where it is
eing used regularly.
Visitors at the state institution may
ind at any time students in the husi
ess courses pounding out, “Now is
he time for all good men to come to
he aid of their party," to the tune of
he latest fox trot. And the students
write faster and with greater accur
ey when their fingers keep time to !
nisic, instructors say.
Fingers, somehow, lose their awk
wardness and hesitancy when lured
n by the lively rhythm of ragtime
lines, and students who formerly
rote only from twenty-five to thirty
■ords a minute now write from
flirty-five to fifty with fewer inis
ikes, teachers say.
Students are instructed to write a
iven sentence to the time of a drag
y tune, and then to write the same
pntenee to the time of a faster tune.
is found that almost invariably ae
uraey increases as the music is
layed faster.
