PREDICT NORMAL
 WEATHER FOR WEEK

Washington, October 8.-Normal wealth CT conditions generally throughout the country were predicted today for this week by the meteorological bureau.
 In the weather bulletin 1t says:
 The unusual atmospheric activity in the United States which prevailed during the last two weeks will be succeeded the coming week by a normal progression Of high and low pressure areas over the country. The disturbances in all prob ability will move on the high attitudes and hence the rainfall during the week vii be normal for the season generally The next disturbance to cross the coun- try will apepar in the northwest Monday or Tuesday cross the middle west Tues day or Wednesday and reach the St. Lawrence valley about Thursday. IL will be preceded by rise in temperature attended by short period of local rains, and this will be followed by a change to colder weather with probably frosts in the northern half of the country.
 There are nc. indications at the pres ent time of disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean sea. A baro- metric depression appears some distance south of Bermuda, but otherwise it is probable that it will be north-northeast and not reach the Atlantic coast"

COACH LONGWELL EXPLAINS
 THE SELECTION OF REFEREE

reached the field. He states that Coaeh Heisman then declared that Mccoy was the best man of the several officials pre- sented to referee, and he states that he, remembering the request of the Auburn official, finally agred to Mccoy.
 Coach Longwell states that he was not responsible for either of the officials. He is unaware of the manner of their selec- ton unless such was accomplished by Heisman on the one hand and Major Berry, acting for Howard
 All of which is written to count eract any impression that might have been left through our article Sunday morning, which article was based on an express sion of Coach Longwell. The above is of value, however. because it indicates the necessity of the coaches of both teams agreeing on officials, rather than ar agreement reached by one of the coaches and some other party who, nat urally. is not as well posted as an in- dividual actively engaged in the football business. Coach Longwell does not state that Major Berry agreed to Mccoy, but he does state that if Major Berry did not so agree, Coach Heisman was permitted the honor of naming those whom he iR- dividually preferred.
 We would not, furthermore, be misun- derstood as intimating that young Me- Coy did not render every decision just as he thought proper. We are Inclined to believe that the mistakes he made re- suited from lack of familiarity with the latest revision of the football rules.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Location of Saloons

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l have been absent from the city, and on my return find that the Birmingham Trust and Savings company, through it's officers and the columns of the afternoon papers, has been protesting bitterly against the location of saloon at No. 110 North Twentieth street. One of the ly, takes the position that the excise commission had announced no saloons wuul6 be allowed on the west side of Twentieth street l feel quite sure that the editor was honest in his statement, but unfortunately he was imposed upon. ings company elected to change its quar- tens from the corner of First avenue and Nineteenth street, its officers selected the present site. At that time Solomon &, Lewis saloon, the Senate saloon, Snow x Ralnbows saloon, and the Dude saloon were on that side of the street in this block, and in close proximity to this To- cation. Directly opposite were several sa- looms, and at that time no thought was entertained. even by the far sighted off, fioers of this bank, that a prohibition election would remove them from this or any other section of the city.
 The excise commission announced early that saloons would be allowed on Twen- tieth street. and one of the first applica- tions granted was for saloon on the west side of Twentieth street. between

TOM JONES AND AID WOLGAST
BY W. II. CBAT) MAsTERsON

Another thing I don't quite under stand" said he. "is this: Why should one of those near champions who fight Wolgast be entitled to as much money as the champion? Where do they come in to ask for an equal division of the purse?'
 "Of course" he continued, in rather a Philosophical way, If we can't get what we want here we'll go where we can. I don't blame the promoters in the least | for hnoing fault with our demands They have the same right to object to them as we have 10 make them. But, as I've already stated if we can't get what we ask for fighting in New York we will go elsewhere"
 Battling Nelson Is training at Wood lawn for his 10 round scrap with Willie Beecher at the Madison Athletic club Wednesday night The Battler shows no had effects from his recent contest with Young Saylor at Boston. A swollen cheek Is the only evidence Nelson carries of the fight
 As 2 matter of course, he is fully con- Yinced that he will win. He doesn't un- derrate Beeches in the least but never theless believes he'll stop Beecher before the 10 rounds are over.
 Beceher is a real good two handed hghter. and the Battler will have to step some to beat him. II is sure to he a dingdong battle while 1t lasts, no matter who wins.

New York, October S.-Tom Jones, the snrewd and astute manager of Ad Vol gast. lightweight champion of the world, is with us again. Tom has, by his clever managerial abilities succeeded in parlay- ing a pair of fighting shoes. which was about all of Wolgast's worldly posses sions at the time the partnership was formed, into a comfortable fortune and championship title besides
 MT. Jones has been scoffed at for de- roanding such large sums for the ser vices of his champion. but Tom Jones does not mind the scoffing. He rather appears to enjoy it. So long as Tom gets what he wants in the way of fnan- cial reward out of the contests he ar ranges for Nolgast. he isn't worrying about what lis critics say about him. Tom puts up a strong argument in de- fense Of his position.
 He says that if such stars as Caruso, Kubelik and Gaby Deslys can come to New York and fix their own prices for their work, there is no reason why he shouldn't do likewise
 Not only that, but I'll bet a neat sum that Wolgast can draw a bigger crowd to See him light than any one of the foreign stars mentioned can draw to one of their performances, declared Manager Tom.

SPORTING NEWS AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

After a talk yesterday afternoon with Coach Longwell of Howard, we find that in Sunday mornings paper we did an iE- justice to Auburn football officials and to the Howard coach as well.
 On the field Coach Longwell gave vent to an expression which we interpreted to mean that he agreed to Mccoy refereeiHg the game because Auburn football coaches had made a request to such an effect. Coach Lonswell later explained that we drew the wrong conclusion.
 The coach tells Us that some time ago one of the Auburn coaches requested mat he be permitted to ~eferce the Howard Tech game for several reasons. one he- thai by so doing he coul1 get a line on the stre1 gth Of Tech, which would prove valuable asset in time t0 come. Be- cause Of the request of this coach, Coach Longwell in submitting a list of eandi- dates for referee to Coach Heisman Of Teach paid the Auburn official the com pliment of recommending him. Heisman, however, turned down the proposition
 In drawing our conclusions Sunday morning we stated our opinion that be- cause Longwell agreed to the official who refereed the game he was partly to blame the rival teams. Coach Longwell, how ever, states that he did not know who would officiate until the teams had

NEW YORK IS OBLIVIOUS TO EVERYTHING
 EXCEPT THE WORLDS SERIES GAMES

are the only National League team which did not lose a series through the season; the Athletics showed their genuine su- periority by the ease with which they won their pennant. The experts are pre- dieting the most closely contested of worlds series Interest seems literally universal. In Japan the Tokio Sun wih have 200 words by cable, according to It's correspondent here. Even London is forgetting it's. somnambulistic favorite, according to the Ocean Telegraph, and neglectng cricket to discuss baseball. It is a curious fact that English sports men regard baseball as absolutely honest and will grant this crown of glory to -no other Yankee sport. It is the only national pastlme in any country which does not depend on gambling for large part of it's hold upon the people, cer- tainly, and that accounts for todays dit- fusion of hysterical interest among all classes, even, as a friend remarked 10 me- the classes in the Sunday schools.
 One of my best friends Is Important in the management of a great steam shin line. He has arranged already to keep such of it's vessels as shall be upon the sea informed by wireless of every detail of each game as it occurs. An operator during the whole series, will do nothing else while the men are on the diamond.
 The Roman CO1Seuin seated solleWHe1e close to 10000 people; the Polo grounds will seat some 15,000 more, and if they would seat twice as many would still fail to give accommodation to the crowd which will endeavor to get into them. The fact that bleacher seats will absolutely be dealt out on first come first served principles, makes it certain that, if de- cent weather makes it possible the neigh borhood of the Polo grounds will be fn- fested with expectant crowds all during the night before the first game of the series and thereafter till the battles are all over. Property owners, renters and souatters in the section are already mak- ing preparations to repel or to go through the pickets of the multitude. One en- terprising fruit stand operator has bought mattresses to rent to applicants and will have duslSy patriots who ought 10 be at home in battle with the Turks, on hand to hold the places of his patrons in line while they snooze underneath his stands and carts until the psychological moment comes dozen members of q certain company of the National Guard have asked and gained permission to take dog tents to tie scene of battle on the night before so that when they rush in through the turnstiles filled with the tri- umph of the early bird, they need not be exhausted by an all night vigil.

TRADING STEAD|ER
 IN COTTON GOODS
The Efforts Made to Bolster Prices Further Are
 Unsuccessful

New York, October S.--As cotton goods values continue receding to a level of lower cotton prices trading grows steadier The chief weakness is in print cloths. but efforts made on the last days of the week to bolster prices still further were unsuccessful and there seems to be more strength in the situation than small transactions indicate.
 There has been more business in heavy brown goods and values on these cloths are laid relatively steady be- cause of the satisfactory export busi- find of placing orders ahead to secure the deliveries required.
 A few large transactions on wide print cloths were made on a basis of 614 cents for four yard, 80 squares, ana , cents for 6Sx72s. Wide regulars are available at Az cents. Ticklngs hay, been reduced from 131A cents to 12la cents for eight ounce goods, marking an average price level with cotton al 10 cents.
 1 There is less weakness in fine plain combed yarn cloths and the difficulty of getting the long staples in cotton l is causing sellers to hold prices firm on goods made from sos and 100s warps. Heavy yarn cottons are now pretty well under order for the neXl three to four months in large mills.
 Reports from jobbins and retail mar 1 kets bespeak very fair trade althoug, somewhat spotty owing to the irregu- lar employment in industrial communi- ties
 Mills are getting into working order
 again, stimulated by the otherwise Every attractive price on cotton and fin. fishers. are finding orders accumulatinp T for quick deliveries.
