With the opening OF the new year to-
morrow, the fighting game will start
off with a rush with the lightweight
championship battle at Tonopah, New,
and opinion seems to be growing out
there that Kid Herman will have a
good chance when he meets the pres
ent champion. Joe Cans.
The fact that Cans has had such
difficulty in making the required
weight 1913 pounds, two hours before
entering the ring, is one OF the rea-
sons for the change, but the champion
Is still a favorite and will remain so.
Previous with his fight with Nelson
II was felt Cans would be so greatly
weakened by the required weight that
the Dane would whip him. But Cans
not only made the weight then, but did
so and was strong and showed himself
still wonderful fighter. His cum
ming and experience will be great
advantage to him over young Herman.
The Chicago boy is a rugged little
fellow, somewhat smaller than the man
he will meet, and OF the bulldog type.
one who fights somewhat along the
- lines OF Battling Nelson. But he is not
the great fighter Battling Nelson is
and lacks the experience OF the latter.
The majority seem to figure that Cans
will win inside OF Is or 20 rounds
The event of Importance for the local
followers OF the game will be the Terry
Martin-Billy Rhodes fight in Rhode
Island tonight. Though II Is hard to
figure Martins chances II Rhodes is the
fighter that he is claimed TO be. a good
battle is looked for, and there are, in
fact plenty who look 10 see the Phila-
delphia man win. Considering the fact
that he is matched to fight Honey Mel
lody in Augusta soon after this battle
he will have 10 win 10 be considered as
an opponent for the welterweight
champion, who has already whipped
him twice.
large number OF local sporting
men will make the trip TO the scene OF
the battle, a special train having been
arranged for
In fact, the week all the way
through is a big one for New England

 In both cases tine weight of water stt zero C. introduced into the warm water was the same. but before the ice crys- tals could assume a liquid condition they had to absorb a certain amount Of heat That heat was drawn from the warm water and consequently reduced it's temperature but it did not raise the temperature of the ice.

Wonderful FidGceS.

One of the greatest fiddles that ever were known was to be seen at tie French court at the time of Charles l. K. This was a viol so large that several boys could be placed inside of it. These boys used to sit inside this queer instrument and sing tlle airs that the man who handled the bow was r!ayins: on the viol outside The effect is said to have been very beautiful, though i would seem as if the presence of the lads in its interior would seriously ill
 terfere with the tone of the great fiG dle," as it was called. Many years aft CT another huge instrument of this kinl was used at concerts in Boston. il was so large that to play it the fiddler had to stand on a table to use his bo" at the proper point on the strings. Ihts instrument was called "the grandff. ther of fiddles"
