Heavyweight
Championship
WILL BE CONTESTED FOR TO.
NIGHT BY TOMMY BURNS AND
GUNNER NOR.

LONDON. Dec. 2.-To,night will dc.
eide the heavyweight championship
Of the world. Tommy Burns. who holds
the American title, and Gunner NOR,
the British champion, will go twenty
rounds before the National Sporting
Club OF London. AS the first worlds
heavyweight championship battle to
be fought IN England. the battle Is
attracting unprecedented attention and
great crowd will be gathered at the
ring.side when the gong sounds.
Gunner Molr. the English champion,
Is a husklly built man and is said to
resemble Jeifrles In size and strength
more than any other heavyweight in
the ring to-day. He has a short, thick
neck. great shoulders and his heal
and Jaw are large and bony. He has
fought n comparatively few men, de-
feated them all and won easily. He
defeated Jack Palmer. but Palmer Is
only n third.rater. English fight ex-
perts are confident that Moir will be
able TO redeem ERgland's pugIlistic
reputation. which has suffered much
OF late at the hands Of Americans. a
great deal Of money Is being placed
on the result.
By defeating Moir, Burns will have
defeated all real rivals. with the ex-
eePtioa OF Jack Johnson.
While the rank and file of Eng.
fish sportsmen are standing patrioti-
cally behind their champion, Charley
MITCHELL the retired ex.heavyweight
champion Of England, is of the opia-
ion that Burns will have no trouble in
putting Moir away. He said:
Take 1t from me. Burns has not
much to fear from Molr. While I
consider the Gunned top-notchcr,
yet at the same time, from my knowl.
edge Of American champions can
draw but one conclusion, and that Is,
Burns will win haudiiy."
Despite this expert opinion. the ave.
age Brlton sport believes that the Eng.
lishman will win and early bets have
been made at odds Of 10 to s. with
NOR n favorite. The London sports
are evidently determined to go hook,
line and sinker on their man.
That Gunner Moir will put up the
battle OF his life there Is no doubt.
Should he win from Burns he will
visit America and make a theatrical

weeks and netting him $4,000. This
has been guaranteed by an American
theatrical firm which operates big
chain OF vaudeville houses. Molr has
been working like Trojan for week,
to capture the big end Of the purse in
to.nlght's fight, realizing that 1t Will
mean small fortune for him should
he be the victor.
Sporting Life. the lea.i'ng London
sporting Journal. expresses the opin.
ion Of the average EnslIshman when
1t says:
1.-THE Gunner is ns confident MS q
man should be who feels the balance
Of power weighing In his favor. Eng.
ilsiimen want to see the better man
win. with a fair field and no favor.
and If the better man be Gunner Moir.
then will England have reason for con.
graduation. There vii be no favorit.
ism. Neither man wants n favor. This
Is not to be a sparrlng match, but a
conflict such as true sportsmen under.
stand and will demand on such an oc.
casion. On the merits Of the men the
contest must be judged. Irrespective
of party feeling or national pride"
Despite reports to the contrary. 1t
is reasonably certain that the fight will.
be conducted fair and above. board
and that the real voctor will get the
spells and the honor.

VIRGINIA WOMEN DEVELOP
BEAUTY BY EXERCISE
They Are Known the World Over for
Their Graceful Necks.

For years certain exercise has
been practIsed by family Of Virgin.
Ia beauties, known the country over
for their beautiful graceful necks, says
the December Dellneator. 1t is SO
simple that every WOMAN should know
it. Here 1t Is:
Every morning. before the sun is
high, the girls arise and stand before
the window of their bedroom. They
draw in deep, full brcaths of the fresh,
dew-laden atmosphere. Then, rising
on the toes, another deep breath is
drawn In. This time 1t Is held, and
while tho mouth Is kept tightly clos.
ed the breath is forced against the
throat and neck muscles while fifteen
is counted. AS the heels slowly come
down to the ground, the breath is
forcibly expelled, always through the
open mouth.
To the beginner in beauty culture,
this exercise is likely to bring on. an
attack of dizziness. But do not be
alarmed. 1t is simply because SO much
oxygen is forced into the lungs that
the scores OF little air-ceIls. hereto
fore empty. are quite filled to over.
flowing. This starts the blood rushing
at such a mad pace that one is, for
the time being. quito drunk with the
unusual exhilaration.
II, for two weeks, night and morn.
ing, this exercise is practlsed ten
times in succession, you will note a
decided Improvement. Distressing
hollows will begin to take on natural
curves and angles to assume lines Of
grace. 4

FABER WILL AGAIN
Motion 10 Put Case on Docket
 Brought Up To-Day.

The May term of the superior court which shall transact civil business only, opened to-day with Judge Ed win B. Gager of Derby on the bench. Only short calendar matters and the assignment of cases were taken up.
 The most important matter on short calendar was motion to re- store to the docket the appeal of Dr George A. Faber ct al from the pro- bate courts decision in approving the will of his father Adam Faber. The motion was opposed by Attorney James D. Russell, who said that the appeal has been filed and withdrawn and again filed and again withdrawn until the lawyers were worn out It was the method of the disgruntled heirs, he said, to worry the life out of a lawyer and then get fresh one to take up this case for them. He held there was nothing to the case. Four terms of the court have come and gone since it was first heard of and yet nothing has been done with ~. AS olAASIS CllC SOhlCAuSu JldJ the will that was approved by the probate court was not the last will and testament of the late Adam Fa- Der as he was able to show Another will has been found since the first one was probated, and the disinherited heirs can show that this is the last and legal will of Adam Faber. Fur thermore, the appeal was withdrawn on fraudulent promises, promises made to the widow which were never performed and this, it was contended, constituted fraud. Judge Gager did not seem to take counsel's view of the situation but he said he would consider the matter at all events and he took the papers. 7
 In the contested divorce suit of Ma tale Giorgio against Ulma I. Giorgio, an allowance of $35 was made to de- fend the case. A motion for sim liar allowance, in the contested di- vorce suit of John Brown against Kate Brown was taken off the list.
