Old Timer to Act as Arbiter in San Francisco, Where He Fought Years Ago.

San Francisco, Cal., March 28. Just to show that gathering years have not

affected his geniality and good nature.

and that he still retains a warm spot for the form of sport that made him

famous, John L. Sullivan wil lstep Into

the ring at Pavilion rink tonight and

pass judgment upon the merits of the bout between Tommy McFarland and

Red Watson.

Viewing a San Francisco "fight

crowd" from a boxing platform will surely revive old memories in Sullivan. It will, for one thing, send him back to the niht in 1884 when he was mad clear through before "Peekaboo" Robinson of the Olympic club wouldn't stand up long enough to be knocked down. It will recall, too, his affair with Paddy Ryan two years later, at Mechanics' Pavilion, and his little spar with Jim Corbett five years later still at the Grand Opera house, on Mission street.

HAMMOND, IN E. 158 East State Street

(Special to The Times.) Denver, Colo., March 28. The Inevitable destructidn of the barrier behind which the average woman in professional life fortifies herself against the petty attentions of men, the onslaughts of sentimentalism and romance, and' the final triumph of the true feminine was again evidenced when Mrs. Fay King Nelson, sent for her husband, Oscar "Battling" Nelson, and at last surrendered a love which she has held subdued for years. The awakening which came in an unex

pected manner the realization that this barrier wan unnatural and -was blocking the way to happiness that it had always been "Bat" and would always be "Bat," Is best told by the little cartoonist. "I have known Bat for the past eight

i years, she said. While 1 was on a

local paper in Portland I drew a cartoon of him. He was pleased with it and came to the office to find who had signed the name. When I was introduced he looked shocked. 'I will remember you;' he said as he left. I took It with a grain of salt. He began by writing me and sending me little remembrances. Our friendship drifted along and I took his attentions as a matter of course. And not until Wednesday night did it ever enter my fool

fears, advices, condemnations and from the battery of censure and disapproval that was trained on me every minute

of the day.

"Last week when he came to argue about my divorcing him I am ashamed

to relate that I treated him like a dog

Through it all he was gentle. I could

see the pain and longing In his eyes,

"A cow that gives two quarts of milk and refrains from putting her foot in it, is far more valuable than one that gives ten quarts and then kicks it over."

And it's the same way with clothes, most any suit or overcoat looks well when you buy it, but the thing that is most important to you is how it looks after you've worn it several months. Let us prove to you, that the giving of such strict attention to many little details in the making of our garments assures the wearer longer service and better appearance. Quite a few men don't care and don't notice the difference but perhaps YOU are one of the many who do. If so, you are just the man who will appreciate the extra painstaking tailoring in our garments. Some men, have the mistaken impression that, because we sell such good clothes on easy payments, our prices are high. Nothing will surprise you more than to make a comparison between our goods and prices with those elsewhere. $1.00 a week is all you need.

"No woman could ignore for eight

years the nattering little attentions

that my husband has showered on me.

To show what sort he is, take him

when I was so awfully cruel to him.'

All he replied was, 'Some day, little girl, you will realize what real love is.'

"Yes, I am so' happy now that it

hurts. No more heartaches. No more doubts. Just contentment, a home and Bat."

"Say, I am the happiest man on

earth." said the Battler. "Now I will

prove to the public that I am one man In a thousand that follows the fight game.

"It was not my wife that caused all

of this notoriety. It was alleged friends and acquaintances. All the

time I knew she loved me. But as some of the old newspaper men say,

the surrender is all the sweeter. As a matetr of fact, this has been the hardest battle of my life, and I guess you know that I have had some tough fights. " . "She sent a wire to her daddy and he replied to me, saying: " I am as happy as you are. God bless you both and hurry to us." The couple left at 12:15 today, stop a day at Colorado Springs and then go to Pueblo, where the Battler will train for his ten-round fight.

SCHALLER SOLD TOWHITE SOX Detroit. Mich., March 28. Walter Schaller has been sold by the Detroit baseball club to the Chicago White Sox. Schaller, who has been working out with the Tigers in the south since the beginning of the training season, is in Chattanooga and has been ordered to report to the Chicago club Immediately.

CUBS ARE FINALLY HEARD FROM Louisville, Ky., March 28. The Cubs arrived yesterday and encountered snow and freezing weather. There was no chance for outdoor practice and they worked in the First Regiment's mammoth armory. Bresnahan and Lavender sprung Charley horses from working on the hard floor. The outlook is bad for any

games here. Owing to flood conditions at Indianapolis the Cubs may remain here all of next week and practice at the local park each morning. President Wathen has consented to this. The Cubs are facing the probability of losing the excellent condition they attained at Tampa because of their inability to get any outdoor work. No Cubs are likely to be left here, as the local club wants to get away from being handed any more dead ones by Murphy. So they say here, anyway. A decision to remain here instead of going to Indianapolis will not be made until some word is received in regard
