MARRIAGE.

Married life, says Oliver Wendell
Holmes, is the school TO which the most
accomplished artists in this department
are TO be found. A delicate woman
is the best instrument; she has such a
magnificent compass OF sensibIlIties
From the deep, inward moan which fol-
lows pressure on the great nerves of
right TO the sharp cry as the filaments
of taste are struck which no other in
strUment possesses. No stranger can get
great many notes OF torture out of
human soul: 1t takes one that knows
II well-parent, child, brother. sister,
intimate Be very careful to whom YOU
give side door key; too many have
them already.

Gus by reason OF the rioting and rowdv-

over which other umpireS have officf-

down on the players when he takes the

to the National League, where the nm

Speed and repartee are the strong
points which re-enfOrce Davis exact

NO SOLUTION YET
TO FIGHT FIASCO
NelsOn-Herrera MuddIe Still
Causing Talk.
INCLINED TO BLAME DANE
Naughton Thinks He Should Have
Waived Weight Question-TaIk of
Match for Britt.
BY W. W. NAUGHTON.


SAN FRANCISCO. June The NeI-
son-Herrera affair is a fruitful theme for
sport critics and will continue 50 for
some time There is great opportunity for
comment and castigatiOn, and the COM
forting reflection that one opinion OF
the fiasco is as good as another The
truth about the thing Will never be
known until some one close in makes a
confession.
On the face Of things. OF course, the
blame is with Herrera He is even
open 10 the charge OF cowardice- But
might not Nelson even though he had
ehe better or the argument from the
standpoint of ethics and usage, have
stretched a point?
Should Have Fought.
The Battler knows that Herrera is a
lightweight. The Mexican has been be
fore the public for maybe ten years and
has been operating in the Eddie Hanlon-
Kid Herman-CrOcky Boyle class When
a fighter of that particular number
gets 10 weighing over I53 pounds, the
surplus is IN his opponents favor, and,
such being the case. il looks as though
he Dane might have said: Clear the
ring and let's fight; what's the diff
ference
Apart from this particular weight
wrangle, the present day system Of
arguing over a pound OF flesh amuses
veteran ring followers who remember
what pugilists had 70 give away in the
matter OF pounds in the old days.
New Explanation.
one Of the rumors in circulation in
Los Angeles was that Nelson intended
70 pull out OF the Herrera match be
cause he had received a tempting offer
for a Battling Nelson-Jimmy Britt go
in New York About the only thing
that favored this suspicion was the way
Britt and Nelson were talking about
each other Just about that time
Nelson, when saw him at Lucky
BaldwiE's ranch day or so before the
day Of the Herrera engagement, said
Yes. I've posted $1,000 as a forfeit
for Britt ] don't believe he has the
slightest intention OF boxing me. and
want TO show him up If he is in earn
est. though. he will find mt there at the
drop Of the hat"
What Britt Says.
Britt. in New York. about the same
date. said: Nelson waited until I got
a good long ways from San Francisco
before he made his bluff. I have been
chasing him for six months. begging
him 10 tight and he never came TO time.
He's q big four fusher and L am afraid
Will never go into the ring with me
again. I'll be ready for him as soon as
1 get through with 2IcGovern."
When rival fighters talk this way
about each other il is a fairly good
sign that they have been warned 70

by destroying the foundation of the dis
