SOUTH SCRANTON.

The Scranton Athletic club. one OF
the strongest organizations on this
side, closed a contract yesterday by
which they become the owners of Saen-
gerrunde hall. otherwise known as
Matters hall, on Alder street. For
some time past committee represent
ing the club were looking around for a
suitable meeting place for the club and
they, after due consideration, decided
to take Matters hall.
The location is one of the best on
this side and the building itself is all
that would be required for club pur-
poses. The residence in the front is
one of the oldest on this side and is in
a sense landmark.
In a short time the Athletics viii
renovate the entire property, tearing
down the residence. which will be re-
placed by more modern and COM
modious building. AT a recent meet
ing of the club a committee was ap-
pointed and instructed to recall all
loans of the association, so that they
might begin work on the repairs at
once The rooms now occupied by the
club are not as suitable for club as
would be desired, and the proposed
change is welcomed by younger men,
bers especially.
The need of a large hall on this side
has long been felt, and if the associa-
tion can supply this 1t will be but a
short time until the place pays for it.
