cHEsBRO WILL BE SIGNED.
Magnate Farrell Confident of Gettin.
Great Pitcher Next Season

Frank Farrell. owner of the Highlanders,
does not anticipate trouble in signing Pitch
er Chesbro to 1905 contract, although re-
ports Of his retirement have been in con-
slant circulation in the newspapers
He does believe that these stories were
started by the twirler. The chances are
that Chesbro, when asked If he would be
with New York again, stated to a news
paper writer that 1t depended upon the
salary that was offered to him. Upon this
slight foundation sensational story was
founded and 1t has grown as 1t went the
rounds until it is made to appear that
Chesbro Is an insurgent. when there has
never been the slightest friction between
him and his club.
When Griffith goes after Chesbro's 1905
contract" said Farrell, he'll bring 1t back
with him. and am satisfied that the affair
between them will be transacted by COR
respondence.
"Chesbro is not buffer and he has the
business sense that SO many ball players
lack. He wants a fair price for his pitch
ing ability and our record shows that we
have never been parsimonious with cur
players.
All our men will be In line next spring
and there will be additions to our 1904 line
up. With this added strength we should
have the best ball team In the business next
season.

determined, and knows the game White Of
Harvard who plays opposite Kinney, Is
green man. ponderous and stolid looking.
He is anything but 1.-the, but his bulk
makes him anything but easy to push aside.
Kinney is inclined to be erratic, is none too
steady on the defense. but when aroused
can keep anybody busy. Nobody is more
likely to block a kick. Parker, the huge
Harvard freshman center, Is, like the vet
eran Roraback of Yale, man not easily
Hurried He is more placid than aggressive,
but is steady and by no means sleepy. Like
Roraback. he is of heroic proportions. run
ming more to shoulders and less 70 girth
than the Yale pivot How he will acquit
himself in his most important game against
an experienced and fairly capable center
today will show.
Generalship, resourcefulness. magnetism
and the knack of keeping his men keyed up
all these are well-known attributes of
Rockwell, the Yale quarter back. Except
when he Is playing back on the defense,
Rockwell has another good quality of being
In every play Harvards quarter back,
Starr, is a freshman. but gives every indi-
cation of living up to his surname. 1t Is be-
lieved Harvard would have done better
against Pennsylvania had Starr played the
entire game. Starr. too, drives his men fast
and uses good Judgment in directing the
plays. He Is a good man to bring out the
essential of speed. fA
Back Position Nearly Even.
If Veeder, Morse and Finn play the other
back field positions, instead of Hoyt, Leav-
enworth and Owsley In the Princeton
game, the Yale back field will be just as
fast as it was last Saturday. If Hoyt does
not play, Veeder will do the kicking. He
kicks pretty well as to distance, is better
defensive player than Hoyt, runs fast and
low, and bores through line in effective
fashion. Morse Is another back quick to
take an opening and who keeps going. If
Leavenworth is in condition he Is quite
likely to play. as he proved his worth in
the Princeton game. Owsley, whose APP
pearance today Is doubtful, Is the best Of
defensive backs, and In this respect excels
Finn. who nevertheless is a hard worker.
There Is not much choice between the two
strings OF backs.
Harvard has thoroughly capable back
field, one that will hold its own with any
II properly assisted by the forwards. Capt.
Hurley is a splendid half back in all re-
spects. He Is fast. quick. very hard to stop
and plays just outside Of tackle par
ticularly dangerous On the defense he is
hard, sure tackler. Sperry. the other half
back, Is big and speedy. and Mills, the full
back. good on the defense and in attack
a strong line breaker.
There Is no gainsaying that there are big
deal of natural, if crude, strength. The
question is: Have the team and men been
sufficiently developed to realize on their
natural gifts? Today is the crimson's
chance to show whether 1t has acquired
the all-around and concerted strength and
the foot ball knowledge of the blue.

WILL REMEMBER THE POOR.
What the Salvation Army is Preparing
to do Christmas.

Captain and Mrs Richmond and the
other members of the local Salvation
Army corps are busily engaged in ar
ranging to look after the deserving poor
families of the city, and will see that
none of them have reason to remember
Christmas day with any but the pleas
ATTEST recollections. Tney are solicit
ing material from which to make up
baskets containing a good square meal
for a whole family each and will dis
tribute these on Christmas morning, or
in time to be available for Christmas
dinner Their efforts in this direction
have met with success, and there is no
danger of an insufficiency of the good
things contributed. Mrs. Richmond
states that TO their positive knowledge
there are about fifty families in North
Yakima who are barely above want, and
so poor that their dinner on the day of
good cheer would be scant indeed if it
were not for the liberality of those able
and willing to give of their bounty.
These families are not suppositious
cases; the members of the army have
investigated each. and know that in each
and every instance the people are de-
serving Some of the needy families
found have not asked for help, but are
nevertheless in great need of it.
The army has arranged to give the
charitably disposed an opportunity to
contribute to a "pot boiling fund" on
Friday and Saturday, December % and
"a. On these days at convenient places
ON Yakima avenue kettles will be sus-
pended from tripods, and into them the
public may drop the dimes, quarters,
or other coins that they wish to contrib
ute TO the worthy cause, and the pro-
ceeds will be used in buying fuel for the
poor. This is one of the army's meth
DDS of raising money for this purpose
everywhere, and is popular in the larger
cities, where very large sums are al
ways raised. The contribution of small
change is not burdensome to the givers,
and the aggregate nearly always is and
always should be sufficient to relieve
suffering and distress in many homes.

Gave a Shakespeare Party.

One OF the most charming parties of
this or any other season was given by
Mrs. A. b. Cline and Mrs w. H. Scott.
Wednesday, December eth, at Mrs.
Cline's beautiful new residence on North
First street. Although somewhat for
midably called a Shakespeare Parry"
there was nothing formidable about the
entertainment. On the contrary it was
even hilarious at times. Two very clev-
er guessing contests stimulated the
guests to recall their general not too,
specific, knowledge of the great English
dramatist. Miss Wright and Mrs. Stro-
bacn were the prize winners, the former
receiving bust of Shakespeare and the
latter a dainty volume of the Sonnets.
An original and very amusing feature of
the afternoon was the presentation of
"Pyrannus and Thisbe,' from Midsum-
mer Nights Dream, by Mesdames Will
liams, Darling, Rossiter, Kinsey and
Clark. Mrs. Cline's home is unusually
well adapted for entertaining a large
company and was made still more at
tractive by decorations of ivy and
chrysanthemums. The most delicate of
modern-not Shakespearean refresh
ments were served and altogeth-
er the occasion was one long to be re-
membered by those fortunate enough to.

Williams Granted New Trial.

A dispatch from Olympia to the Ia
coma Ledger states that the Supreme
court has granted a new trial to David
G. Williams, convicted in this county
of intent to commit murder and senten-
ced to a term of thirteen years in the
penitentiary. The crime for which Will
liams was sentenced, it will be remem-
bered, was the shooting of W.D. Guthrie
on the night of October Is, 1908, near
Toppenish. Guthrie claimed that Will
liams tried to rob him and that when
he started to run Williams fired the bull
let, striking him in the hip. The rever-
sal is on technical errors of the lower
court in instructing the jury. Williams
was charged with assault with intent to
commit murder. The supreme court
holds that the intent to kill is capable
of proof and cannot be presumed. The
instructions of the court would erron-
eously lead the jury to believe that as
murder might have resulted the intent
to commit murder would be matter
of presumption.
