CAN'T LIMIT SIZE OF SIGNS.
City Has No Such Authority, Corpo-
ration Counsel Tells Committee.

That the city has no right to limit
the size of sky signs" placed on the
tops of buildings, Is the gist of an
opinion given by Corporation Coun-
sci Hally to the council committee
on ordinances, Tuesday. The propos-
ed new building code would limit the
size of roof signs to 100 square feet.
The corporation counsel says that t
is within the province of the city to
regulate the manner of building signs,
so as to guard against accidents
which might injure other property
holders or the public. but that a prop
erty holder has a right to build
sign as large as he pleases. This
also applies to sign boards on vacant
lots.
REGENTS court decisions have set
tied that the city, II it wants to graf
ify it's aesthetic taste, must first COM
pensate the person who has to sacri-
fee to it." said Hally.

other day, Jenries is one.punch
man, doing all his damage with his
left. Johnson is also a one-punch
man, firing his deadly shots from the
righthand side.
Johnson says himself that only
two Of his battles were ended with
his left hand Out Of seventy-fve
battles he has fought every man he
knocked out went down with the
righthand uppercut with the excep-
ton Of George Mills and Jim Scan

how they happened TO miss the right.

dropped without being trimmed up
with the right
A great many people say that a
left-hand jab is of no account. jim
COrbett declares that II a woman

will knock you out. His jab. he says,

work gradually. The constant jab.
jab, iab, dulls the other fellows

II you have one.
Johnson figures II the same way.
His left arm is not as strong as the
right. Dr. Sargent. at Harvard, found
during his examination that the col
ored fellows right arm was a third
stronger than the left His deadly
work is ali done with that wing. The
left may jolt, but the right annihi-
lates.
Sam Langford tasted the right
when he met Johnson In Boston. He
went TO the floor on the fat of his
back and twice the referee ran the
string OF numbers up TO nine over
Sam.
Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman.
who was knocked out by Johnson
in Frisco, was sent to dreamland
with this uppercut. Jim couldn't land
on the clever Johnson, and while
rushing In the eleventh round said:
You're clever gink. Ell? Well. take

head lowered, but as he started TO
pound Johnson the right came up and
Jim went down for keeps.
Tommy Burns, In Australia, felt
the force OF that big right In the very
