HOW BILL WIckS WOULD
 HAVE GIVEN DECISION

Sporting Editor: Norman Proto bout-Good draw. Norman led more, and sent over many vicious right ov-
 erhand blows for the jaw, but landed same but once, this turning Proto
 half around, and reeling to the ropes, apparently unhurt, however. The tn- pact of this blow unbalanced Norman also, and caused him to go back to the ropes and had Proto been hurt by this blow he could easily have set himself and covered up before Nor man could have reached him from the further side of the ring. Norman's s footwork was classy, I admit, but his shift was more to prevent Proto from leading from set position, showing good judgment. All of Proto's blows were straight from the body. thereby carrying weight, except those struck when in close which were short, snap py, half round blows, to the ribs. Pro- to also was ever eager to follow Nor man about the ring, never lacking up unless forced to do so by the momen-

long been intimate friends. during

a fire occurred in which the guests
snitcase marked Levi ?. Morton,
was burned on one end in such a man
ner that all the letters OF the name
were destroyed but the "" and r.
Inst at that time Mr.. Morton was Dc
inc mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination for either pres

UNSAFE AS WELL AS UGLY
Anti,signboard Argument Made by
chicagoans Effective in Curta'''ha
General Nuisance.

OF course, a SignbOard is designed
TO attract attention. In some cities
they appear to be attracting atteh-
ton which threatens their existence
in certain districts. This is good
thing, for at their best they have not
been much of a scenic attraction ana
at their worst they have been pretty
bad.
In Chicago, where good deal OF
thought has been given to city plan,
ming, an ordinance was passed pro-
hibting Signboards on roofs OF build
ings and requiring majority consent
for permission to erect signboards III
residence districts. The signboard
people fought this ordinance to the
United States Supreme court ana
were worsted. And the decision gave
the people the right to have no sign
boards in the neighborhood Of their
homes if the majority agreed.
It is interesting to note that lhe
arguments on which this case was de-
Tended by the people had to do rather
with public safety and health thah
estSetic considerations. The boarus
were TO be kept from the roofs 1or
fear of their falling into the street.
and the charge was made that the!
were q fire menace and convenient
ambush for robbers in residence dis
tricts.
Perhaps these practical phases al
ford the most convenient point or at
tack for the present, but from al
! esthetic point of view the slgnooar'
e Is forever and everywhere an onehse
