with respect to buildings. So far as the man.
ner of the building is concerned, far even as
the material goes, the city would seem to have
-undoubted power to establish reasonable regu.

obviated. even. perhaps, that certain distances
between certain sorts OF dwelling be main

when city undertakes to prescribe the archi-
teetural design Of house, the color it shall
be painted, Its size, or its position. Those arc
questions which it would appear lie for deternl-
inatton In the mind of the who builds. and
nowhere else. Much Petersburg people may
object to the necessity of having to view the
contemptuous backs of residences that herd
with themselves, 1t is to be expected that a court
decision will put stern foot down upon such
an infraction of pure personal liberty in the
use of private property
After all, who Is to say what manner of house
any man shall build? Where is derived the
power of sort OF aesthetic censorship on
architecture and taste? Unfortunately taste,
especially in residences. is far from being an
universal possession. Every city has houses that
grin at the passing public or stare 1t out of

homes costing their millions which the city

one should witness the occasional residence dis

Red Player Now Hitting Because He
Has Confidence In Himself.
Last fall Manager Griffith was asked
to trade Outfelder George Paskert to
the Boston National club. He was to
receive a pitcher in return. Griffith
thought the matter over very carefully
before he declined to make a deal and
by doing SO saved himself from future
humiliation. Paskert didn't look like
such Il very valuable ball player. He
struck out too often. especially in the
pinches.
There was a reason for it too. The
Cincinnati players made Dody believe
he couldn't hit Il curve ball. They told
him that so often and teased him
about it sc much that when he stepped
to the plate and saw a curve coming
his way he simply gasped and expired
or swung a yard or so above or below
the ball.
Paskert doesn't believe he can't hit
a curve ball now. He thinks he can hit

tracts the muscles the upper

His normal chest measurement
is forty-two inches. as much as
Johnson's chest measures when

six inches. Jack Johnson has a
remarkable forearm; it meas

ty-one inches, and he has a reach
of eighty-one and a half inches.
nine inches greater than the
reach Of Johnson and six inches
greater than that Of Jeffries.
McLeod's first official act as
challenger of Jack Johnson for
the championship of the world

Later he will meet all Corners.
Miles thinks that in a year or
