CHICAGO. ILL.,. May 1s.-Gov. j. n. Gil

Jefries-Johnson fight from the Emeryvills
race track to San Francisco, said: 9TH.
only thing the club will have to do is to
go before. the board of supervisors and
obtain a permit. The law authorizes tin.
contest to take place and there is nobod,
to prevent it. I haven't the slightest
doubt the club can get a permit In Sar
Francisco without any trouble.
Argument that the law is made t,
provide only for amateur contests is an.
swered by the section which provides that
contestants must be examined by physi.
clans before entering the ring. If the Law
anticipated amateur contests il is no,
likely that provision would have beer
made.

difficulty In securing permission to hold
the fight here is anticipated by the pro-
moters, but in order to comply with TIE
articles of agreement covering the battle
it will be necessary for Rickard and Glea-
son to have the city officials make a
special concession relative to the number
of rounds. Forty-five rounds or no fight
say the articles in effect, and that is just
twenty-five rounds more than are included
In the purview of the local ordinances
governing boxing exhibitions. The pro-
moters say they look for no objection
from the authorities to the extension of
this particular event beyond the usual
limit. The permit is expected to be
granted next Monday.
To Build Arena.
In view Of the new turn Of affairs, filing
by Louis Blot and Milton T. Clark, rep
of a local athletic club. Of a
petition for leave to build big open-air
arena within the city limits is looked
upon as significant 1t is proposed to
expend $4,000 on this roof1ess building,
and the plans call for a seating capacity
of Is. 500. Work on the structure will be
begun at once.
Neither man seeking this building per-
NIT will discuss the possibility Of staging
the big battle. Other advantageous sites
for the holding Of the fight are also being
discussed.
Several new men will be tried out as
training adversaries by Jack Johnson in
his second boxing affair this afternoon.

to the former, 60. 6-S and 60. Cor
don was little off color in the first set.
but came back to form again in the next
two and captured them both with very
little trouble.
The fight for the woman's title will
probably lie between Miss Marie Winner
of Washington and Miss Turtle of Brook
Ign. n. Y. Miss Winner was the winner
of this event in the 1908 tourney and as
she is playing a fine game now her
friends look for her to come out on top
again this year. Miss Turtle was the
runncr-up i'll last years tournament in
the singles. and was, with Richard J.
Palmer, the winner of the mixed doubles.
On account of being under qlIara milne
owing to scarlet fever in his family, Mr..
Palmer will be unable to take part in
this years affair and Miss Turtle has 'scen
paired with Mr.. Johnson. She is locke d
upon to give Miss Winner the most

A Winning Combine.

In the mems doubles Wallace Johnson
the present intercollegiate champion, and
L. T. Mahan, a former holder of the title
are paired. and these two surely make a
winning combination. Both are unusually
speedy and play wonderful games. John
son seems to be speedier than when he
was here last year, and his partner looks
to be almost as fast. They had as their
opponents yesterday Homer Dies and
Spencer Gordon, and won rather easily.
although the losers put up q much strong
or game than the score would indicate
and every point was stubbornly contest
ed often resulting in long rallies of bril-
liant tennis. Johnson played deep
court game, gradually working his way
to the net, where he scored many points
for his side with his speedy shots down
the side lines. The card for this match
is as follows:

Mr. Hills rather easily defeating Miss

Nietzsohe's Swan Song.

One Of the really pathetic docu-
ments of modern times is entitled
"Ecce Homo" and it is the last
work that Friedrich Nietzsche wrote
before he went mad The daring
poet-philosopher, whose thought,
whether for good or for i'll, has al
ready permeated the whole intellec-
tual atmosphere Of our epoch, was
never more wildly revealed than in
this remarkable book. Like all his
works, it is a rhapsody, written at
white heat, marred by extrava-
gances. But in one important re-
spect it differs from them all. It
voices a sense of peace and serenity
he never before had realized. At
the very moment when darkness
was overwhelming him he seemed to
experience a marvellous exaltation.
His song floats out over the world
ike a hymn to infinite joy.-Cur-
rent Literature.

WHERE TO BUILD.
Rocky Site No Longer Advised-oreVei
the Ideal Sell.

| Rocky Site No Longer AdVised-GreNe
the Ideal Sell.
Strange as it may seem, after
1000 wears of talk and song about
| the advantages of founding one,
house upon a rock, one of the very
things that modern builders tell us
to avoid in selecting a site is rock.
That is principally because of the
great cost of excavating a cellar in
rocky soil
Another objection to rocky soil is
that water will not soak through
rock and so runs down it. Some of
this water would be almost certain
to seep through the cellar walls,
making the cellar damp, or it might
undermine the foundations.
Again, rock often contains
springs. If spring were opened
during blasting it would mean Ell
ther that the water would have tc
flow through the cellar or be de-
fected, a costly operation. A house
built upon a rock also vibrates dur
ing thunderstorms.
Clay is perhaps more to be avoid
ed than rock Clay collects water
and spreads under pressure. 1t ey-
pands in wet or frosty weather and
contracts in summer. Frozen clay
clings to brick or stone and often
causes dislocation of cellar walls and
piers.
Also it is impervious to water.
Thus an underground layer of clay
will prevent the proper drainage Of
rainwater and leave the soil foul
and sodden. Finally, it is extreme
" costly to excavate. Undesirable
for building purposes also are made
land. sand and silt. Made land is
not always stable.
Gravel is the ideal soil for build
ing purposes. 1t is porous and
drains perfectly. At the same time
it is sufficiently stable to support
foundations. a gravelly elevation
is the ideal building site.
Depressions or levels between
rocks are likely to retain water,
even though the depression is slight
and the elevations distant. TIE
ground water thus retained stands
at a level. Small gravelly elevations
form islands, as it were, in a subter-
ranean lake, and upon them houses
may be built with perfect safety.
The cellar floor will be above
ground water level, and no rainwa-
ter will drain into the cellar.-Cir-

Mendelssohn's "ereatest Pleasure"

Lecturing on Mendelssohn, Mr..
Felix Moscheles told his hearers
many interesting things concerning
the great composer, who was his
godfather, from whom he had this
account of Mendelssohn's last visit
TO Queen Victoria. As he was about
to leave the queen said to him.
"Now, DR.. Mendelssohn, You have
given me so much pleasure, is there
nothing l can do to give you pleas
ure?" And as her majesty insisted
Mendelssohn told her that nothing
could give him greater pleasure
than to see the nurseries and all the
domestic arrangements connected
with the royal children. "The most
consummate courtier," said the lee
turer, "could not have expressed a
wish better calculated to please the
queen. She most cordially responded
and herself conducted him through
the nurseries" 3egyssc y, ,1gasase.---

Car Sickness.

Looking out of the windows is the
cause found for car sickness by an
American physician. Near objects
fit by rapidly, those a little farther
away move more slowly, those very
far off are almost stationary, and
the whole landscape appears to be
revolving around a common center.
The unconscious effort to take in
everything produces a rapid lateral
oscillation of the eyeballs, easily
seen in the passengers on any train.
The eye strain is enormous, and
this is the chief factor in producing
ear sickness.

FAMOUS DEAD HEATS.
Those Between More Than Two Ho-s9l
Not Frequent Now.

NOt frequent NOW
Dead heats on the flats do not oc-
rpr with such frequency as they did.
AZ it is, we get quite enough Of
"dead heats of two" but there is Il
spice of romance about a dead
heat of three" says Bailey's Eng
lish Magazine.
At York in 1896 for the Bad
minton plate three horses passed
fAe post locked together. They
we're Messala, Baiardo and Casse
Gbn, ridden respectively by NJ. Can
lp, T. Loates and S. Loates. a
Mird Loates was fourth on Hamp-
tdpdale, and he was beaten only
short head by the leading trio.
In 1880 at the Lewes summer
meeting Scobell, Wandering Nun
and Mazurka ran a dead heat for
the Astley stakes. Only head be-
hind the struggling trio came Ihora
and Cumberland, also running a
dead heat and placed fourth by the
Judge. Some good judges who saw
the race declare that if it had been
called a dead heat of five no one
Would have caviled at the official
verdict.
In 1915. on the Thursday Of the
Newmarket Houghton meeting, two
dead heats Of three occurred in the
same afternoon.
In 1882 there was a dead heat
of three in a field Of five for the
race called the Sandown Derby, but
afterward known as the Electric
stakes, run over the straight five
Hirlong course at Sandown park.
The dead heaters were r. S. Evans
Marden Or. Wyat0, ?. Lorillard's
Gerald F. Webb and the Duke of
Hamilton's Leonora (J. Watts. In
the run-of Marden. who in the
meantime had had his plates re-
moved and ran unshod, won by
three lengths, a head only separat-
ing second and third.
The most notable dead heat of
three was the finish for the Cesare-
witch in 1857 between Ell Hakim,
Prioress, an American entry, and
Queen Bess. There were thirty
four runners, and the starting
prices of the dead heaters were s to
1fEl Hakim, 80 to l Prioress and
Queen Bess.
In the decider, which was run off
in the waning light, George Ford
ham was substituted for Tankesley
on Prioress and Bray for Little on
FL Hakim. The change Of jockeys
appears to have worked to some ad-
vantage in the case of the Ameri-
can mare. for she won the decider
by length and a half, head sep
arating the other two.
Once there was a dead heat Of
four at Newmarket in a sweepstakes
for two-year-olds. run over the first
half of the Abingdon mile. This
was at the Houghton meeting in
1855. Five started, and the race
resulted in dead heat of four, the
fifth horse being only beaten half a
length. The decider was won by a
head, half a length separating sec
ond and third. Tiny Wells rode
the winner, the original favorite,
chestnut filly called Overreach, by
Birdcatcher.
