FIGHT OPINIONS


Following are few opinions OF the
fans along the rialto as to the result
OF the Johnson-Van Doozer battle to-
night:
Eddie Hookstratten--It is a toss-up.
Van has the c1everness and johnson
the punch. The winner will be lucky.
Mike Polaski-Johnson. of course.
Van can't hurt him nor worry him
much.
BIZ ware--Am not an expert fight
Handicapped and this fight is too hard
for me. A lucky punch may settle II.
Bruce Pitcher--Johnson should win
inside of three rounds.
Cy Myrick--This johnson fellow is
a wonder at hitting and taking punish
ment. and think he is an immortal
cinch.
Ray Dunnigan--Like the chances of
Van Doozer. The general public un-
derestimates the value of science when
pitted against mere strength.
Professor NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ex-
pect Johnson will be too strong for
Van Doozer.
Secretary Observation-Disclosures should
win, although Van may surprise him.
Walter Folson-Johnson all the way.
Don't think Van can give him any
trouble at all.
Tom Stevens--Like Van Doozer to
win on points. Cleverness and speed
are valuable assets against man like
Johnson.
Frank Kenniston--Van Doozer will
go around Johnson like a hoop on a
barrel and peck his eyes out.
Arthur Seymour-It is a case of TOO
Much Johnson" The big Russian will
be rushing Van all the time.
Phil Newhouse--Can't give Van
Doozer a chance. Think Johnson will
stop him in jig time.
Selmar Magnus--Johnson should put
quietus on Van inside of eight
rounds.
Jack Densham-Johnson should win
by a knockout, of course. Don't think
Van has a look in.
Harry Lurie-Johnson from barrier
to wire In canter. He should end
the scrap before the limit.
De Witt Van Court--yan is game
and clever. but l think he has under
taken too big Job. Johnson probably
will beat him.
Montana Kid--Johnson has the ex-
perience in taking punches and has
made good. so he will go in the ring
with big advantage over Van. ]
think he will win, but Van may be a
surprise.

DESIGNS ~ cHArino DISHES.
Very Attractive Are Some Of the Sets
Seen in City Stores.

The newest chatting dishes are fur
nished with tray to match and a
screen that curves three-quarters Of
the way around the flame. Some Of
them are Of cut glass, when the set is
OF gold or silver; others are of or
dinary plate glass. when the dish is
nickel, copper. or brass. The screens
protect the lamp from vagrant
draughts, and they hasten the cooking
Of the dish SO much that the hungry
guests do not become impatient
Most attractive sets are shown this
year made Of brass and trimmed. as
it were. with a plated band Of copper,
The colors Of the two metals combine
well, and the set is handsomer than
those made Of plain brass, which is
really too yellow for the purpose
Some nickel sets are bound in cop
per. too, and they are so durable that
it is quite worth while to invest In
one.
A few screens for brass chatting
dishes are made entirely OF the same
metal, beaten as the Cairo finger bowls
are; and, while they are very hand
some, they rather tend to exclude the
company from the rites of rabbit"
making.

ribbons passed through both covers

Celery tops and parsley are not the
only pleasing garnishing plants, al
though others are not common. Water

without running water and pepper

CAraway and coriander seeds are
used IN cakes and cookies; din with
salt as pickle favoring. All are
easy TO grow from seeds sown In

The plants should be thinned to six

tard sayory and sweet marjoram are
grown from seed. The latter needs
shading while plants are small,
Thyme, sage, spearmint, tarragon
and lavender are Invaluable in the

all may be grown from seeds, but bet

use the Juice always left from fruit
