With the Pacific coast baseball championship being fought for by the clubs of Los Angeles and Vernon and none of the other four teams consid- cred any longer as being serious con tenders, the trailing organizations al ready are talking plans for next sea- son.
 That there will be number of up heavals and realignments among the various organizations is generally ex- pected, and in the case of one or two of the teams it would occasion no great surprise If new faces predomi- mated in next seasons lineup. San Francisco has been lamentably weak in it's pitching department and Man ager WolvertOn's chief task during the winter months will consist in an endeavor to remedy the cause which proved fatal to his pennant aspira- tions this year.
 Manager McCredie, of the Portland club, already has intimated that the Northwestern team is due for a gen eral shakeup. Oakland's lowly posi- tion as tail-ender of the league is generally ascribed to lack of proper leadership and earlier in the season rather than to lack of baseball talent among the players.
 Salt Lake is going through the throes of managerial uncertainties and even the leading Los Angeles team seems, at the moment, uncertain of retaining it's present leader, Frank Chance, who is reported to be wanted In the east in a managerial capacity for one of the big league organizations.

The recent success of fourteen year old R. T. Jones on eastern golf links is likely to give a decided impetus to the game all over the country among the youngsters according to H. w. Potslethwaite, president of the Northern California Golf Association.
 "Only a boy can achieve the proper golf swing" he says. "The man who takes to golf when his frame is set is never certain of his game. He is sometimes good, but oftener ragged. Travers is the only man who ever took to golf late in life and made q big success of it. This boy should in spire many emulators and great crop of American golfers as irresis- tibly efficient as our tennis players and track athletes"
