BARRY WILL HAVE CHANCE
TO RECUPERATE HEALTH
Next Important Question at Cabin Is,
"WlIl Sam Loneford Keep His
Position on Hospita
Staff"

Jim Barry will have a chance on jan
uary IA to show Samivel Langford ana
incidentally the general public just how
III he was the last time he elasped hands
with the dingy defeater of Petah jack
son and when the cloudy reuter- of rob
bers rather snugly obscured the Barry
horizon.
Undoubtedly an unprecedented ear must
be turned to the assertions of indisposi-
ton bulletined by Barry at the time OF
his eclipse. 1t was fairly well evident
that James was under the care of the
medicine men for several days before
his alteration with the chocolate and
some were even willing to believe that
Barry should not enter the ring on ac-
count of his dilapidated condition.
However, Samuel has increased ma
terlally in stature and wisdom since he
discarded his picikaninny pinafores to
associate with the gentlemen of curled
hair and must always be taken seriously
when his name is mentioned for the
invited list at cabin hand parties.
OF course the trip Will pc shorter al
the next show and there will be no
proclamation of the senior partner, but
those VINO fill the benches will be easily
able to discern through the smoke TO
whom their future salaams must be
made.

RANGERS HOLD ANGELS
WELL AT FIESTA PARK

The Los Angeles Soccer football team
defeated the Rangers at Fiesta park yes
terday afternoon by a score of to g..
The Rangers held their opponents ex-
ceptionally we'll, considering the fact that
the club has been organized but since ths
18th of December. The Los Angeles
eleven has been in active practice for
several months and were expected TO
make much better showing. one of the
goals was made for the winners by
Ranger player through accident.
On Wednesday night the various asso-
citation teams of the city will meet at
Mammoth hall for the purpose of form
ing a league and arranging a regular
schedule of games to be played each
Sunday. The management of the Ranger
club has put the grounds at Fiesta para
into good condition for Soccer playing
and have taken off all the sawdust which
remained from the football season AMI
impeded the action of the association
game.
Next Sunday the Rangers and Thstlos
will meet on the new field and an excit
ing contest is expected. as potn eIevens
will practice hard all week to capture
the first meet of the schedule.

Electricians Win Both Sections
of Fast Double-
Header

Both sections of e. double-header be-
tween the Ellsons ana Christopher-Leyys
of the Winter league, went to swell the
grand average of the Electricians at the
Chutes yesterday, the first game by q
score of to and the second to 3.
The Wire Pullers commenced striking
sparks in the beginning of the thru iu-
ming and Cornett hummed in with Fuller
before the Pastries found the leak IN
their meter.
A fielders choice and an audacious
theft of the final stop by Reed In the
opening of the seventh netted two tips
for the Walters and made business mt
tie more brisk until the last spasm,
when panic seized the ranks of the Chris
tophers after a tantalizing spat by the
squatty Gralch and Encloe registered dur
ing the confusion.
The second session looked more favor
able for the Leyys as Raleigh was draw
ing poor support from his team and In
addition was not overly hard to focus.
But James, Dear and Howard were
found with holes in their fences and as
the direct result of their hobbies Rowell
and Lucero trotted across the forbidden
territory.
Wires were found crossed, however. in
the Edison circuits and after couple OF

In his part of the sixth Salyer damned
to the sun parlor for three sacks and
Kelley followed him in the glorification
of the Pole Climbers. II looked like a
shower of runs for a minute but Whit
redge rallied and retired the rest.
Kimmerle brought his followers q little
nearer to the scene OF excitement in the
last of the seventh by squeezing under
the bars and Reed almost. repeated his

HARVARD AND PRINCETON
TO REMAIN AT OUTS
No Truth in Rumor That Two Elevens
VIII MlneIe on GridIron During
1eo8-crlmson Schedule
Full

A special from Boston says: AT the
close of each football season number OF
\persistent reports are circulated to the
effect that Harvard and Princeton are to
resume football relations and meet each
other on the gridiron once more AS a
matter of fact, these reports are utterly
without foundation. While the most
friendly relations exist between the two
colleges there is absolutely no Likelihood
that they will resume football games
with one another for some time to come
The reason for this is that 1t would be
impossible, so far as Harvard Is con-
cerned, to arrange a suitable date for
game with Princeton. Harvard is pecu-
Harry situated. For O number OF years
she has had games on her schedule with
Carlisle, Brown. Dartmouth and Yale.
These games are all hard and are a
great strain for the team to carry as 1t
Is. Were Princeton added to these four
hard games 1t would be more than the
crimson could hope to get away with
AS far as the undergraduates at Har-
ward are concerned ii is likely that weer
the matter put to vote a large majority
Of them would wish Harvard to drop any
\ Sne Of the games she has played for the
kSt few years, with the exception OF
Yille. in order to take Princeton, on, but
questions of policy intervene which 1t is
ayers to disregard. The relations with
Carlisle, Brown and Dartmouth have al
/ ways been most friendly, and the drop
Ming of these colleges or any of them
could not be considered while the pres
ent relations exist.
Last year both Princeton and Cornell
made overtures to Harvard for a game,
but the Harvard management was obliged
to decline tine offers for the reasons
given. Although the present Harvard
manager denies that any negotiations
have taken place this year, it is more
than likely that Coach Roper, when he
spent few days at Harvard before the
Yale game intimated that Princeton
would be glad to resume football rela-
tions with the crimson, and tina the Har-
yard authorities were again forced to de-
cline such a game, much as they would
have liked TO arrange it.
As long as Harvard continues to play
the four hard games with Brown, Car
isle Dartmouth and Yale, in addition to
the game with West Point or Annapolis,
it will be impossible for her to find a place
on her schedule for the Tigers

COAST BASEBALL. LEAGUE
ENDS IMPORTANT SESSION
ton and Plan Is Considered to
Form Eight-Team
League


BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.--The Pacific
Coast Baseball league concluded its ses-
sion today with the decision that the
next annual meeting should be held in
Portland, the date TO be fixed later by
the president. The schedule committee
will report January Is.
During the day Judge McCreedie OF
Portland received the following telegram
from d. i, Dugdale of Seattle:
''If satisfactory TO you, make the coast
league an offer for Portland territory,
and if terms reasonable Northwest
league will pay price for YOU
Judge McCreedie returned the following
answer:
Pacific Coast league will not abandon
Portland territory OH any terms. For the
good of the sport we would consider the
application of Tacoma, Seattle and either
Vancouver or Spokane for a class A
eight-team league"
If the four Northwest clubs would come
into the Pacific Coast league this would
enable the putting in of two teams at
Los Angeles, thus giving the latter city
continuous ball.

EEARLMl. nEATN NAN
SUFFERS FOR HOURS
ROBBERS ATTACK CITIZEN AT
DOOR or HOME
Thieves Threaten Life of Victim If
Police Are Notified, and Man Waits
Until Morning Before
Leaving Place

Fearing his life would be forfeited il
he ventured from his home to receivs
medical attention, Valentine Mueller, Nv
ing at 3O7 Omar street, suffered great
agony for twelve hours from wounds re-
ceived at the hands Of hold-up men Sat
urday night.
Mueller had attended a meeting at Third
and Main streets until late in the even
ing. When he started home he was fol-
lowed by two unidentified men.
As Mueller entered his home one OF the
men accosted him, demanding he sur
render his valuables and make no outcry
at the risk of his life.
Mueller Is a German and speaks Eng
fish brokenly. He did not understand the
robbers demand and asked what was
wanted.
With muttered curse the second high
wayman struck him on the head with the
butt Of revolver, Telling Mueller TO the
ground. Before the victim could arise ne
was struck another blow which dazed
him. The next he remembers ne was IN
the house with the door fastened.
He was positive the ASSISTANTS would
carry out theif threat to xiii him If he
attempted to call the police and remained
in the house until & o'clock yesterday
morning He then visited the receiving
hospital. He was weak from loss of
blood.
Physicians dressed the wounds in the
mans head, taking three stitches in one
and five in t. e other.
Mueller gave a good description Of his
assailants to the police. The officers are
confident of capturing them. They were
poorly dressed.
1t is supposed the robbers were fright
ened by come one passing, for. although
rendered helpless, Mueller was not
robbed. He had in his possession at the
time of .he attack about $50 and a valu-
able gold watch and chain.

MAN OF SMALL STATURE
RELIEVED BY NEW STYLES
YEARS FASHIONS MAKE SHORT
MEN COMFORTABLE
Coats to Be Much Shorter and Suh-
dued Patterns VIII Take the
Place of Vivid
Colors

That unhappy individual. the short
man, is to have a chance when his
spring clothes buying comes around
again. For the good new year of 1903
will be kind TO him, inueed. The coats
will be cut short this year, and he OF
the short back and shorter legs wort
feel as though he has donned a bath
robe when he pulls his new coat on 10
his back.
Yves, there's hope for the short man
as regards tine cut OF
spring." said a well-known buyer Of a
big local firm yesterday. For, whereas
the length of suit coats now Is some
thing like 80 and even 80 inches, next
spring there won't be anything out
longer than 81 inches. And the length of
so inches will be available even. That
will make 1t easier for the man Of little
stature"
This will be welcome news TO the man
who has held back from buying his new
suit until the present absurd long-coated
style had thawed itself out.
1.-THE colors may not be so striking
next spring, for aonther thing" re-
marked the buyer There is bound TO
be a reaction from the vivid browns and
green's now in vogue, you know. Tan
will be very popular. Grays are always
in form In this country of so much dust,
while the blue serge is ever popular
After ALL 1t depends on the individual
buyer just what shade OF Goth he
chooses. As for the clothing trade. 1t
doesn't seem to know that there is q
panic. We have always made up
weekly average of sales, and this year
is Just 500 over the corresponding time
last year"
Some of the clothing dealers magazines
depict a very marked change in coiors
from the present rainbow effects In
vogue for the 'trouser bearers" Dress
material they point out, will consist
largely OF little invisible checks. White
black Will be the prevailing shade,
worsteds, such as Panamas, taffetas and
serges will prevail orders for goods
along this line have already been placed
for next fail and winter.
