IL not worth while discussing il, It comes
10 the front and wallops the hide OF
somebody who has been making It LOOK
like a mere percentage fattener for the

They viii probably return here and beat
Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago. and
drop the entire series to Boston, Cleve-
land, and St Louis.
Cantillon Discusses Athletics.
While the Athletics look good just at
present, Manager Cantlllon, Of Wash
lngton. predicts they will have an even
harder time than has been expected in
winning the pennant. He thinks their
advantage Of a long string Of games at
home with the weary Westerners will
be onset by other considerations. He
argued the matter in this wise:
IT'S down in black and white that the
Athletics meet all the Western teams IN
Philadelphia, and having the final squirt
on the home grounds. with thousands OF
frenzied local rooters to keep Mack 5
men keyed up in every contest IS a big
point in their favor. but just remember
this:
Offset to Home Games.
THE Athletics viii meet in PhIIadel-
phia in a row Chicago, Cleveland, and
Detroit, every one of them full Of fight
now at their very best, and all OF them
pennant possibilities. To break even
with any one Of these scrapping, am
bilious clubs viii be a good thing for
the Athletics. and there is more than a
chance that they may lose the series to
one or more. On the other hand while
the Athletics nave three such fierce en-
gagemeats, the games in Philadelphia
are the only set In the entire East the
Westerners have to fear especially. The
remainder Of the time they will be play
ing Boston. New York and Washington,

For instance. the Athletics should

phias but the other contenders viii also

NEW YORK, Sept. 14-Another inter
national athletic disturbance is promised
as the result OF the suspension OF Long
boat, the famous Indian runner. and
CoIey, the Canadian crack, by the Metro
poliuan Association OF the Amateur Ath-
letic Union.
These men, with Frank Nebrich, OF
the New York Athletic Club. who has
also been placed under the ban, have
taken It upon themselves to travel from
the Dominion to this country and vice
versa whenever they pleased. and en-
gage IN races without permission OF the
Metropolitan Association. the governing
body of athletes in the district where
the offenses were committed.
There is quite q specific rule In the
code OF the Amateur Athletic Union re-
have deliberately suspended themselves.
Over Border Without Permit.
Coley's offense was In competing in a
match race recently with Nebrich, at
the Fort Erie rack track, in Canada.
Nebrich went over the border without
receiving q permit 10 oIl@@sa in such q
eontest, and, therefore. became a dis
qualified athlete. BY competing with
Nebrich, the Canadian also became dis
qualified.
Longboats punishment comes as the
result OF his visiting the Kenilworth
track in Buffalo about three weeks ago
and racing against three men. Long
boat had no permit for the engagement,
consequently he viii not be able to run
any more as an amateur athlete until his
