CLIFFORD COMES
TO Los ANGELES
MAKES FLYING TRIP TO THE
ANGEL CITY
Tries to Arrange a Match With Fred
Landers for September Date In
Sacramento, Winner Take
All Basis

Jack Clifford, the lightweight who
put Billy Lundy out in the second round
in the main preliminary at Goldfield on
Labor day, quietly slipped into town
yesterday and q reconciliation was
effected between himself and his wife.
Clifford has been separated from his
better half for almost year, and when
he learned that she was in Los Angeles
he determined to come to the Angel city
and see If he could rejoin her.
Jack arrived in the morning and kept
himself from view until he thought that
he could be seen on the street and not
be recognized After he had seen his
wife and their troubles we're settled he
hunted up his Los Angeles representa-
tive and arranged for match in this
city should the one that he had in view
fall through.
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford left on the Owl
last night for Sacramento, where ar
rangements have about been completed
for a match with Fred Landers. Cliff
ford wants to fight on a winner take
all basis and if he and Landers sign
that clause will be one of the most
prominent in the articles If the Sac
ramento club will stage the bout the
boys will make 1873 ringside, while the
battle will be scheduled for twenty
rounds.
Mccarey May Get Fight
Should this match fall through Cliff
ford will return to Southern Califor-
MIA where Manager McCarey of the
local club has consented to consider
arrangements between Maurice Thomp-
son and the Clifford boy.
Thompson has lately come into the
limelight through securing a decision
over Charley Neary of Milwaukee.
Thompson has written to McCarey sew
eral times and asked for match, and
should the deal between Clifford and
Landers fall through he has decided
that Clifford is the man against whom
he can match Thompson.
Clifford has mapped out his, plans
and is looking far into the future. If
he cannot make arrangements for
both of the bouts in view he has de-
cided to throw down the gauntlet to
any man in the world at 133 pounds
ringside
While in New York last year Jimmy
Britt came to the Pacific coast, the
two men were Offered a purse of $15,-
900 by Billy Otis for twenty-round
go before the Manhattan Athletic club
Britt threw down the match and ex-
cused himself by saying that he was
going west and would not have time to
think of the go with Clifford.
While in Sacramento Clifford VIII
challenge Britt, and if the ex-champion
shows a second time that he does not
want any of Cliffords game but is look
ing for easy money, it will not in any
way effect Jacks plans, as 1T is we'll
known that the Britt boy does not
want to fight with any one.
While Clifford is in the north Jack
Lincke will attend to any part of his
business that will come UP in the
southern end of the state.

SIGNS USED BY TELEeRAPHERs.
Some Queer Reasons for Initials
Placed on MESSAGES.


Telegraph operators always have
personal signs which they place on all
messages they send or receive. Usual.
ly they use two of their initials or
take two letters from their names.
For instance, James Black will prob
ably use "JB" as his sign. In many
cases, however, they choose their
signs in peculiar ways.
1--WE once had man working here
who signed IKE because he had taken
the Kelley cure" said Kansas City
chief operator recently. HE after
ward went back to drinking and then
used b. deriving 1t from booze
Another fellow signed 'PS' because
he used to say he received poor
salary.
"a woman operator we had here
used to sign 'HK,' her initials, until
one day her beau Tilted her and mar
ried another girl. After that she
signed 'BH,' which, we understood.
meant broken heart
"In an Eastern Office where I once
worked there was hoodoo sign. 1t
was 'KQ' The first man who used 1t
there was killed by train; the next
one went crazy and the third died OF
typhoid fever. After that nobody In
the office dared use the hoodoo sign.
The story about its being a jonah
travelled over the country, and today
you'll find very few operators signing
'KQ.' kansas City Times.

To Clean a Rain Coat,

Last years rain coat can be made
to do many more days of service dur
ing the rainy days by the following
treatment: First, dip the garment in
cold water, then with a scrubbing
brush and yellow soap proceed to
scrub it all over, having spread it on
a table. When the dirt is removed,
dip the coat in repeated waters to get
rid Of the suds, but do not wiring it.
Hang up in the air or in an airy room.
but do not put near the fire. Paint or
grease spots must be removed by
spirits of turpentine, and common
soap will do the rest. The dirtiest
spots will necessarily need the most
scrubbing. Hot water should never
be used in cleaning a rain coat.
