This quar tet is on the verge of receiving it in the reprion of the neckband, declares Harry Williams, in the Times. Metzger, it is said, has a fighting chance of surviving the meat-chopping process, but the other three are certain to go. Of the present pitching staff Ryan, Chech. Perritt and Crabb are to be re tained. To these will be added Frank McKenry, whose work the final week last year was the sensation of the league, and Pat Harkins. of Fresno. In addition. Dillon has purchased Barton from Washington and the indi cations are that Long Turn Hughes will be secured from the same club. Salary Is the obstacle at present and It may prove insurmountable, for Torn dragged down $5u00 for the season of $1913. nilinn nlans to switch Ernie Johnson to his old position at third and use Joe Bercer at short again, provided the White Sox get waivers on him.

Cleveland third and either Chicago or New York fourth. "Frank Chance must be figured this coming year." commented Buddy. "Chance completely reorganized that New York bunch and his Infield now Is 100 per cent stronger than when he took hold. He has Malsel at third, a hard hitter and wonderfully fast: Peck inpaugh at short, and I think Peck is the best shortstop in the league: Zeider, a heavy hitter and wonderful base runner, at second, and Williams at first. "New York needs a couple of pitchers, but who knows but what King Cole may come back. Then again. Chance may run across a phenom just as the other elubs do occasionally. If he does, watch him sprint." Los Angeles will not play the Chi cago White Pox at home prior to the Pacific Ooa.t League opening next Spring.

He learned the carpenter's trade in New York City under his older brother, Amosa, and when gold was discovered In California they sailed for San Francisco Novem ber 15, 1849, on the ship Pow hattan.

Willamette to Get Game November 7, 1!, 14, If I nlve Hy of Washington Refuses to Play In Portland. In i;iow of the five or six games scheduled for the 1914 football season, one of the important things which Multnomah Club officials should con sider Is the advisability of engaging a football coach, says E. P. Stott, man ager of the 1913 football team. In the December number of the "Winged M Bulletin." The 1913 team and others in the past have been coached by members of the squad or one of the club members. Most of the latter are busy men, and the team suffered at times because the coach was not able to give all his time to the work. T his year Stott and Quarterback Rodes have the brunt of that work. In the Bulletin Manager Stott says: "True enough, wo got along well this year undir our present system. With players of all-around experience work ing without a coach may result all right in preparation for one or per haps two big games. But with at least five and perhaps six games with the large colleges of the Northwest assured for next season, I do not think this plan will do at all. "The football men need a leader who can devote nearly all of his time to .....i.l.ff ,a man thplf RtfAnCth as well as their weakness. Then, too, if our team Is to carry tne ciud colors 10 the front, it must be ready to take instant advantage of the other teams' weaknesses and be prepared for their strong plays." rrh. b-.a urU tna, TTnlVPl-KltV Of Washington could not be arranged at the recent conference meeting in rori land, but the club still hopes to meet Dobie's champions on November 7, 1914.
