WRESTLING MATCHES
ON IN FULL BLAST
Junior Strong Men Start Tourna-
ment With Twenty-Five
Contests.

The japanese wrestling tournament
started off last night with big splurge,
a huge crowd and a roar of enthusiasm
Twenty five contests between the junior

The vacant lot on Aala lane near
Beretania avenue where the baseball
fans usually cross as short cut
to the Athletic park has been
fenced in for the wrestlers and partly
canvased over. In the center four
poles support a canopy under which

with white and red streamers and all

collapsed very completely without hurt
ing any of the occupants.
The seating capacity was all taken
mp and most of the standing room last
night and everybody let out whoop

WHAT IT COULD DO.

If we accept this potential energy Of a
flash of lightning, constituted as it is Of
a series of almost simultaneous discharges,
we might translate it irlto even planer
language by showing what it could do
if it were directed toward some useful
work. In electrical science experts speak
of the kilowatt second. It is known ap-
proximately what can be accomplished
by kilowatt hour when electricity is har-
messed to perform different tasks. On this
basis Of computation the potential energy
of flash of lightning could perform
some marvellous feats in the industrial
world.
Broadly speaking, it could saw $50
feet of dead timber if harnessed to mill
to drive modern circular saw, or it could
be used to sharpen $4,000 knives if used
for driving a grindstone. 1t has sufficient
potential energy to Gerry enc some nine
miles in an electric automobile. 1t could
warm woman's curling tongs every day
for nearly three years, for three minutes
performance each day; or it would light
nearly $500 cigars by the ordinary flash
light method. Again, it could be made
to blow large church organ for every
Sunday for over three successive months,
or pump 100 gallons of water to a height
Of twenty-five feet something like three
times.

county says that Representative Van Boddie
of Washington county is the champion
fighter of the recent session Of the Missis-
sippi legislature,
Mr.. O'Neill tells an amusing story i'm
which Representative Boddie figured prom
iently one night recently. The way the
story goes Representative Carr of Newton
was denouncing Mr. Boddie in no nicer
tain terms, on account of the stand Mr.
Bcddie had taken in the Cunningham af-
fair earlier in the week, and which re-
suited in Boddie striking Cunningham in
the lobby of the Edwards house. Senator
Banks and Jesse Jones, a Newton lawyer,
overheard Carr's scatchings remarks about
Mr.. Boddie, and Senator Banks went to
Bodies room and told him to dress ard
come down stairs prepared to fight Asked
if he must bring his gun Senator Banks
told him no, but to come on, at the same
time telling him what Carr had said.
Approaching Carr in the lobby Repres-
entative Boddie asked him if he had said
he was pusilanimous liar, etc., and Carr
said that he had not made any such
remarks Mr.. Boddie bcckoned Mr. Jones
and asked Carr if he had not told Jones
that he (Boddie) was cur and a liar. to
which Carr replied: IF Jones says l
said that he is a liar" and the words
were scarcely out of his mouth before
Jones struck and knocked him down and
when he regained his feet struck and
Knocked him down again before any one
