COAST LEAGUE
NOT ENLARGED

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 22.-The annual
meeting of the Pacific Coast Baseball league
held here today, was without result SO Iar as
the proposal to increase the number OF Teams
in the league was concerned, the attention or
the meeting being confined to routine business
and the election of officers. Manager Charles
Graham of the Sacramento State league team
was in conference with President Ewing and
the directors Of the Coast league for some
time, however, and 1t is thought that 1t was
proposed at this time to reopen the question
Of taking some Of the State league teams into
the organized baseball fold.
j. c. Ewing of this city was reelected as
head of the Coast league for the coming year.
and the following directors were chosen:
w. II. Berry, Los Angeles; e. n. Walter.
Oakland; w. W. McCredie, Portland, and
Frank NJ Ish Of San Francisco. D. w. Long
of San Francisco was reelected secretary and
treasurer The vice presidents will be Berry,
McCredie and Walter, the last named being
new man for that office. These three also
were appointed committee on schedules.
A new regulation enacted by the league is
to the effect that where undecided games re-
main to be played double-headers may be
played at any time during the weeks series
on demand of either manager, and provided
such demand be accompanied by twenty-four
hours notice to the opposing manager. NO
double-header will be played prior to August
l. except with the consent of both managers.
The opening day for the 1903 season was
definitely fixed as Tuesday, March / Thirty
one consecutive weeks of ball will be played.
and the season will close October 81.
The Issuing of passes by managers Of Wis
fling teams was prohibited, and the president
and the secretary were instructed to issue a
pass to the wife of every player in the league,
in order to do away with the many requests
that have flooded the management.
The president was empowered to remove the
official scorer in any city should such scorer
fail to mail to the league headquarters his
report on any game within four days after II
is played and the president was further
authorized to appoint a successor to any man
so removed.
Messrs Berry and McCredie were appointed
a committee on the prorating of transporta-
ton on the schedule, which will be adopted
hereafter. McCredie left for Portland to-
night and Berry will go south tomorrow.

nothing that looks like the old trouble has
been discovered"
rhe dope that Kaufman is as tough
big nan as the ring has seen in many year
seems to be having its effect on Barry, for
he Is training every minute with view TO
going at the fastest pace possible. Should
the Chicago man fight as fast as he trains
Kaufman will know that something besides
a tea party has been planned In his honor, and
all the we'll known gameness of Delaneys pro
tege will be needed to counteract the enect
that Barry's speedy walloplng is sure to pro-
duce.
Manager Teddy Murphy announced last night
that he and Barry were prepared to bet an
even $1,000 on their chances as soon as the
odds have settled down to something like
the right price. II feel that we ought to be
favored bit because of Kaufmanns superior
weight" said the boy manager, land as soon
as it looks right Barry and 1 will kick in
with our coin. Kaufman have it IL he
likes, for we would just as soon save the
commission not"
John l.. Sullivan and Jim Corbett may be
among those present when the big boys get
busy at Vernon next week. Sullivan, who is
taking an active interest in Barrys cam
paign for the heavyweight title, wrote to
Jim yesterday and declared that he would
come on to witness the bout if possible Cor
bett already had declared himself in favor OF
a trip south to be at the ringside, and IL
both former champions live up to their declara-
lions an interesting trio of famous heavy
weights will be found outside the ropes in
Sullivan, Corbett and Jeffries. If old Ruby
Robert Fitzsimmons could get across the ocean
in time maybe the Vernon arena would not
be entertaining some class in addition to that
within the ropes.

Kaufman and Barry and Burns and Johnson
are so closely associated in the minds Of the
fans with the heavyweight title that a match
between the winners certainly calls for enthu-
siasm, even from old jeff. Tommy Burns
has packed around his honors for two years
now, but all the time a lingering suspicion
as to his ability to hold them has been
firmly implanted in the minds of the fans.
Even the match with Johnson will not dispel
this feeling but should he win and then
defeat the winner of the Kaufmann-B Barry
bout and fight in this country, then the Cana
dian will be hailed as man without peer
among the big fellows of the present day.
Billy Delaney's arrival is scheduled for the
Owl this morning, but Kaufman did not wait
for his chiefs arrival before settling down
to work. The big fellow decided that he had
rested long enough. and yesterday he served
notice the training squad at Venice that
they would be called on to help from now
until the time for the battle with Barry.
Al started out with an eight-mile spin up
and down the beach, and soon after lunch
as he thought advisable the Frisco wonder
took up his grind in the gymnasium An
hour and half with the bag, rope and medl-
cine ball would have tired any one with a
less husky Frame but Al there to box
four spirited rounds with Jack Redmond as
a finale to the first real labor he has done
in time. With Delaney's arrival he will
have to stick on the job as a regular thing,
for the veteran is a strict trainer and stands
for layoffs by his pupils.
The pace Barry mapped out for himself early
last week is being rigidly lived up to, and
Big Jim surprised the south side habitues
yesterday with his feats of endurance A five
mile spin on the road in the morning had
apparent effect on the Chicago scrapper,
for Immediately after he had tackled and
slowed away all the grub Jack Doyle could
muster at noontime Barry was back on the
works again, Five minutes were devoted to
the medicine ball, a like period with the
punching bag followed another mi &c
in shadow boxing put Jim in readiness for the
boxing part of the program, and when he
turned loose Montana Sullivan and Monk Say
ers, his sparring partners, wished they were
elsewhere.
Barry is paying an unusual amount Of at
tenton to his left hand, and used it to adj
vantage against his less skillful antagonists.
This hand was weak upon a time
said Big Jim, just after he had slipped a
wicked Jab over on Sullivan's jaw, as the
round closed, but It looks like 1t is all to the
good now. 1 am using 1t much as possible
in order to go through real test and, so far,

way into the stretch, alternating In
the lead, but Runaway gave it up al
the turn for home and dropped back
John g. Rice then went on and trleo
to argue with Garter Light, but the
Quinlan gelding was in fit condition
and game enough to stick to the jon
until safely under the wire, having the
slight margin of a head at the finish.
Rice placed and F'riar of Elgfn showed.
Alma Boy was ably ridden by Pow
ers and breezed nearly all the way IN
the fifth. He and King OF the MIST
were running their heads Off out In
front before the others could get lair
lv under way and they finished one
two, Alma Boy being the stronger at
the finish and having a lead of near
ly two lengths at the end. Henry y,
the remarkably inconsistent record
breaker that has been turning flip
hops so frequently that they have be-
come quite consistent, was third.
Catherine f was much the best OF
her field in the first and despite that
form and figures indicated that she
would win, she was held at as good
as to 1, while Bitter Sir was made
favorite. Catherine ran to form and
got the verdict by a length, While
Esther M, the widely touted good
thing, beat out Albion H for the place.
Esther was played from 80 to down
to - to l. Albion H set the pace, but
tired under the great speed and quit
to third.
DR.. Holzberg won the second race
for Barney Schrieber, beating Tom
Reid half a length for first money.
Reid beat Gerrymander for the place
by a head. Gerrymander figured like
a good thing after the scratches had
taken away all the real contenders,
but ran poorly, quitting under stress
Of making the pace.
Grand Dame surprised nearly every
body by coming from behind and run
ming over Mary f, the favorite in the
third. and getting the verdict by nearly
a length. Mary and Pal ran them
selves dizzy in the early portion of the
Journey and had nothing left with
which to make a finish, while Grande
Dame was reserved early and was as
fresh as a daisy at the end.

- live wire on his staff. Frank writes
that he has undertaken the manage

pugilistic world of late. He is anxious to
bring Clabby to Los Angeles and match him
against any welter in the world. Jimmy Gard
ner is the fellow that Mulkern bankers after
the next opponent Of Clabby, and he figures
that his boy will surely defeat the Lowell well
ter. They have fought two draws, At
fifteen rounds and one at twenty rounds. Null
kern does not waste his time with dead ones,
and Clabby surely must have good class or
Mullcy would not be boosting him. After the
first of the year both local clubs viii have
a few vacant dates to hii, and Clabby may
