However, the Rose Festival and the Elks' convention are expected to provide Immense crowds for the coast league clubs and the two late holidays will sot be missed. Bush Towns like Coin. ''Major, league teams," says good old Frank Bancroft, "should, always watch harp as to the terms and agreements when they book games with small cities these exhibition affairs. The rural magnate Is always willing to put some thing over on you. If he can. Long, long ago, I booked an exhibition game for the oldtlme Troys at a little city I think Its name was Berkeley and when the Berkeley magnate asked by wire as to the terms I. wired back '80 20 meaning, of course, 80 per cent of tha money for us and 20 per cent for him. He accepted terms Immediately. Well, we played, and there was a big crowd, our r share footing up something like J700. When the game was over the local magnate solemnly handed me a check for 80.20, and showed my wire to back up his Idea of division." On on Fielder. There are Joneses and Joneses, Just like there are Smiths and Smiths and Browns and Browns, in this world of ours, and thereby hangs a laugh. Under a -. perfect likeness in a Tacoma paper of Fielder A. Jones, the former leader of the Chicago White Sax, but now a Portland lumberman, who was yesterday elected president of the Northwestern league, is a brief sketch of Davy Jones, the former De troit player. Instead of Fielder A. Jones, the new league head Is dubbed Fielder David Jones, and the following biography appended: "Fielder David Jones, former manager of the Chicago White Sox, who was last .night elected president of the North western Baseball league, halls from To mab, Wis., and1s 30 years Old.

Jones jumped the Browns In 1902 for the Chicago Na tionals, and played in the WJndy City until 1904, when he broke his leg and was released. In 1905 he was with Minneapolis and at the end of the season was sold to Detroit, where he played center and left field and shared base running honors with Tyrus Cobb. Jonea is now a resident of Portland." As a matter of fact. In 1901 Fielder was batting .325 and playing center field for the Chicago American league White Sox. In 1896, five years previous, ho was slamming the pill about the Brooklyn National's park at a .863 clip. From 1901 to 1909 he was with Chicago, winning one world's championship, that of 1906, for the White Sox. Casey Flics Application..
