Pitcher Frank BrownU" aad Shortstop Roy McArdle. who wet t out on th midnight "crul" with Ten. nant, have been fined ISOeeach. In peaklng of the matter. Long did not mine hi words. He said that Tennant haa been a dlaorganlser all eaaon and that he haa not been giv ing the club his best efforts, owing to a little personal feeling which exists between him and Captain "Kid" Moo ter. Although Tennant haa merely been suspended for th thre remain ing week of the present season, h most likely will be traded during th Winter month, aa Long has no us for any player who hasn't hla heart In his playing, so Tennant la due to walk the plank. If no satisfactory deal eran b ar ranged whereby the Seals will receive a man who la decided to b worth a much aa the red-hatred first baseman. Tennant will have to play th bush cir cuit, aa he will be Ineligible to play with any club In organised baseball so long aa he la on the auepended Hat of the local team. -Stare of the midnight league can not shine on the diamond In th day time, and I will not atand for it from any player on my team.

ATHLETICS PICKED Br FIELDER MS Mack Has More Good Pitchers and More "Class" Than Giants, He Thinks. BEAVERS, ARE IN FAVOR Ex-Leader of Chicago While iWx Scoffs Idea That California Team-- Will "Fix It" for Vernon to Win Pennant. Forecasts of tha world's series ar In order. To satisfy a general craving for advance "dopa." Fielder Jonas has consented to nam his choice for supreme baseball honors. By all tha gods of "dope" and per sonal opinion, tha Athletlce ahould re peat their performance of 110. says tha wily ax-leader of the Chicago White box. who la now a Portland lum ber baron. "No doubt about It," rhapsodises Jones, dismissing th subject as If the title was already won. "Superior In tha pitching ranks, class In the batting, and an Infield the equal of which never plowed the turf." That'a the way tbo maker of a band of "hltless wonders" Into world's stars sums It up. Now don't get tha Idea that tha Chi cago idol opines that Connie Mack has men better than Matty and Marquard. He still hold Mathawson aa the Ideal fllngar. and having never seen "the Marquis" In action, he hesitates to say that Philadelphia ha a twirler his su perior. He takes tha stand that Matty and "Mark" constitute McQraw's staff, while Connie haa five men of un doubted ablMty to hurl against th Na tional League leader. "Mathewson may be able to repeat Ms feat of 1905. but I doubt It very much," said Jones. "No man can last forever. Not that Matty 1 a has been. Far from It. But he will have a dif ferent band to deal with: a bunch of youths who hit the ball on the nose all the time. "Ths Athletics have tha edg In the batting. Also the Quakers have an In field that well. It Is the best I ever set eyes upon. "Now take Jack Coombs. He has a ball all hla own. He has just as much a copyright on It' as Mathewson baa on his celebrated fade away. It Is an overhand drop, atarted high, and crosses the plate Just about shoulder height. Unless you are used tolt. It Is a complete puxzler. "One could go on Indefinitely arguing why the Athletics should win. There are plenty of reasons why they should oop, but they might go to pieces at th critical moment Who can tellT .- Jones' prowess aa a "dopeater" Is well known. When th season, began he picked Phllodelphls, Detroit, New York; Cleveland, Boston. Washington, Chicago and EL Loula In the order named. Now, with the season nearlng Its finale they stand pretty nearly as he picked them. The only ones upon which he erred badly were Chicago and Waahlngton. Instead of being in seventh place, tha Sox rest in fifth. In the National, ha forecast New Tork and Chicago, with Cincinnati as tha runner-up, e e e Listen to Jones for a few minutes, you doubters, and your courage will come back. Fielder Jonea Is confident that the Bearers will come out Tlctor tous In the coming series with Ver non. "Portland figures to win." says Jones. "Furthermore, the Beavers will win. They have tha class and it will tall. "It Is amusing to hear a few say that It Is all fixed" for Vernon to win the pennant, that the California teams will see to IL Piffle I It's a physlclal Im possibility. The minute a team begins to lay down' It will be noticeable. Let anything like that happen and baseball wouldn't last 15 minutea. It's fighL fight, fight and hard, too every min ute. "Undoubtedly th pennant rests on the coming set-to In Los Angelea. The team that win tha series looks Ilk the leader." e e McAleers plan to send another picked team against th Athletics be fore they meet the Giants is a good thing for Philadelphia, thinks Jones. "It will hurt Mack's men a great deal If they slow up." Comlskey's White Sox ought to come clean In the Chicago series, says Jones. "Th Sox pitchers are rounding to and the team Is hitting hard. They should beat the Cubs. The Sox will hit tha Cub pitchers, but I think Duffy'e box men will hold the Na tionals safe."

'mere S w n COACHES TO MEET Football Men Will Confer in Portland on 1911 Rules. NEXT TUESDAY IS DATE Gathering tn Press Club Rooms W1U Bo foe Purpose of Interpreting Vague Parts of Regulations of the Gridiron. BT BOSCOE FAWCKTT. Misconceptions of and alterations In tha 111 football ruls hav been caus ing no end of worry among Northwest ern coaches, officials and players, for a minute scanning of the rule book dis closes an Infinite number of inconsis tencies, contradictions and ebony-tinted paragraphs. Last Fall coaches and officials were confronted with the same difficulty and hero In the Northwest, where there Is no central body to recommend a unani mous interpretation of the vague sec tions, officials were forced to call coaches and captains together befors every big game for an agreement on the playing rules. With a view to ameliorating condl tlona and promoting unanimity, the coaches of the Portland high schools j . li- nodded to Issue a call for a conierenoe 01 nurmwcic,u officials and players for next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, In the rooms of the Portland Press Club, In the Elks" build- liur. Coaches W. J. Warner, of the Univers ity of Oregon; Bam "Dolan, of Oregon Agricultural College; Dr. Sweetland, of Willamette; Archie Hahn, of Whitman, and other college strategists have been notified and efforts will be made to urge their attendance. Th Invitation is extended to Include Multnomah, college and hie'h school players and all those Interested In the new rules. "The plan la an excellent one and meets with my hearty Indorsement," stated Coach Rlnehart, of Lincoln High School, yesterday. "I have studied th rules as assiduously, perhaps, as any other football man in the West, but I must admit I am slightly tangled on one or two points. I believe, too. that officials should get together and agree on th interpretation of various rules that caused considerable wrangling last season." This conference will be similar to the Middle Western and Eastern sessions and it Is probable that the changes adopted by the Eastern mentors at the recent meeting In New Tork, presided over by Walter Camp, of Tale, editor of th guide book, will be adopted. These additions and expurgations hava been found advisable and necessary and are vouched for by- the framer of the guide. .... Following a long-etstablished football custom, the various schools and colleges have been trying out their players in contests with smaller and weaker Insti tutions so as to ascertain what they are capable of under the strain of actual combat . These preliminary games Are now in the passing and th Important contests will be ushered in within another fort night. As th season advances, each gam will take on more of a champion ship tangle. The change in the rules making less stringent the penalties for uncompleted forward passes haa led the critics to believe that thla year's foot ball will be featured by many shifts and much hurling of the ovaL Rule 19, section four, which provides that any pass striking the ground, either before or after having been touched br a player of either side, shall be automatically uncompleted, virtually guarantees a freer use of the forward pass, for a team stands almost no chance of losing possession of the ball on the first or second downs. Then again, under the 1910 rules, an uncompleted pass penalty was imposed from the point of the pass which was necessarily from five to seven or eight yards behind the line of scrimmage. This season the penalty of an added down must be exacted from the point of the last down, which lessens the dis R emoval Sale Building Coming Do-th to Build the Holtz Department Store.
