about six feet six inches wide. His other dimensions are in proportion. He. too, is sporting man and a gambler, and he declares that the big fight will be pulled off in California" That's where the bond between Gleason and Coffroth comes in, you see. Rickard is equally emphatic that the battle will be decided in Salt Lake City, although the good people of Usah say differently.
 Gleason and Rickard are both anxious to name Eddie Graney for the referee of the big fight, but this question is still un- settled. The chances are however, that Graney will not be the third man in the ring on the afternoon of July 1. as neither Johnson nor Jeffries are partial to his rulings.
 Big Tim Sullivan, idol of tho east side of New York. one of the most powerful politicians in Tammany Hall and quite as well known in the sporting world as Rickard or Gleason. is the stakeholder for the fight, and he emphatically states '"Thcre ain't going to be no monkey busi- ness in this fight as long as l have the handling of the coin" He means 1t, too. Big Tim might be interruptions as a poll tician, but as a gambler he is the squar- est man in the world. His word is his bond and there is none who can say that Big Tim ever broke his word, or went back on a promise.
 Both fighters are now busy with their preliminary training, as each realizes that he has the battle of his life ahead of him. Joe Cans, the cleverest lighter who ever donned glove, will put the finishing touches on his brother African. and what Joe doesn't know abcS. .~~ tricks of the ring and ring generalsh.S isn't worth knowing.

basis When 1t was determined to change the color of the hulls and superstruetures from white and buff to war grey" it was found that the bright fgureheads became conspicuous To paint them in conformity with the remainder of the vessels would have destroyed their ap- pearance entirely. so Secretary of War George von L. Meyer gave the order that all, with the exception of that of the Olympia, should be removed.
 The order affecting these naval figure heads recalls the time when there were few ships of either the merchant or naval class that did not have fgureheads. 1n- deed, there was a time, and not many years ago either when no one would have thought of building a vessel without such a bow ornament. During the past score of years. however. there have been comparativly few craft to have figure heads and the tendency is to do away with them entirely.
 The origin of the fgurehead is not known, but it dates back as far as does transportation by water. Pictures in stone show that the boats used for pleas ure by the Egyptians had their prows elaborately decorated. Specimens of Vik- ing craft dug up reveal the ornamented bow. History tells of the galleys of Rome bearing fgureheads. The Chinese have, for centuries, painted great eyes on the bows of their craft.
 The English, probably inspired by the Normans, have always used the figure head and, until the era of steel construc- tion, all of their battle craft and most of their merchant craft bore images of some sort.
 The fgurehead was thus considered a part and parcel of a vessel and when

 If the fight Is on the level and Jeffries Is in anything like his oldtime form and carries the fight to Johnson from the tap of the gong in the opening round he should win within 10 rounds.
 Should the fight extend over this period and the conditions above mentioned ob- tain. Jeffries' chances for winning will grow less in each succeeding round. The negro Is younger, more rugged aud has had more ring practice within the past two years than his white opponent. and the chances are he will wear his man down and win out somewhere within the 45-round limit.

an acre of lilies would net three or four times
as much revenue as an acre of onions.
