PICKS JOHNSON

SAN FRANCISCO. May Billy
Nolan, Battling Nelson's ex-man-
ager, one of the wisest students of
the game of fisticuffs, thinks Jack
Johnson will beat Jim Jeffries ON
July 4 next. He is also of the opin-
ion that Eddie Graney stands more
than a passing chance of being the
referee of the big fight.
"All things being equal" said
Nolan, who is here stocking up his
Lake county ranch, the negro
should win. But | have an idea
that Jeffries has little the best
of it in the articles. l cannot say
in what manner Jeffries has an adj
vantage, but that he has one is my

never for longer than three months at

that he metaphorically smote himself
for not having seen long ago that life
was q bowling wilderness without a

She sang to him. and he liked her
songs because they were not too
saccharine In sentiment.
II was q glorious evening for both.
and she invited him to come whenever
he chose. and guide her choice OF

Mr.. Laurelle's conception OF love was
august. and glittered with Arthurisn
rectitude. He professed a knightly
chivalry. and offered devotion OF
such ardor that no caprice OF Julia

to her eyes. which so correctly cata-
logued the glories OF those orbs that II
might have been written by an outcast
with a gift for rhyme.
When this avalanche OF sentiment
fell on Julia she gasped with amaze
