The invasion of polar weather that

GRAFTON. The weather man, whose
forecast of degrees for early this
morning hit the mark almost squarely
on the head, believed the thermometer
might get up to 25 degrees today, but
there was little prospect of it going
higher Tonight it will hit the tobog-
gan again. but. he believes, will stop
at about II degrees.
There is no snow or rain in sight
for the next 36 hours at least, but
disturbance now over Canada may
come this way by Sunday.
This mornings Z degrees compared
with previous low record for the
Winter of II degrees on January IL.
1t was not an extraordinary tenl-
perature for Washington Winter,
however and was surpassed by tenn
perature of 8 degrees recorded mere
almost exactly year ago.
Canada Gets 56 Below.
Washington can consider itself
comfortable today when 1t reads
about temperatures of 20 below zero
at Canton, y. Y. for instance, and 10
below at Greenville, Me.
The coolest weather reported for
North America today was recorded
at Doucet, about 200 miles northwest
of Montreal. where a temperature OF
56 below zero was reached.
The present cold wave is general
over the East. carrying unusually low
temperatures as far south as northern
Florida, although the resort State
escaped frost because of cloudy skies.
Raging gales have swept the At

Weather Bureaus coastal stations re-

The epidemic of fires that usually
attends a cold wave as a result of
overhe3tcd furnaces and kindred
causes was not much in evidence last
night. F'iremen of No. IS Engine

fire that did not take them very far
into the cold night. 1t occurred in
the roof Of the company's own home.
Sparks from a chimney started the
blaze and it was quickly eXtinguiSh-

TIGER FLOWERS WINS
TEN ROUND BOUT
THE CHAMPION WINS AGAIN
MAKES A GREAT SHOWING
AGAINST HEAVY OPPONENT

NEW YORK, June 19.-Tiger
Flowers, worlds middleweight cham
pion, ontpointad Young Bob Fitz-
simmons in ten round no-decision
bout at Boy,e's Thirty Acres in Jer-
sey City last night. A crowd of
about 10000 witnessed the battle,
which did not involve the title, as
Fitzsimmons, a heavyweight, was
many pounds over the class limit.
Flowers started the battle in typi-
cal manner, swarming all over Fitz-
simmons from the time the opening
gong sent the pair on their journey
The middleweight champion snapped
right jabs to his rivals face, send
ing young Bob's head back and with
a combination left hook and right
swing which he anded twice to the
jaw, Flowers sent Fitzsimmons stag
gering back on his heels, F'itz just
couldn't do anything with the
champion.
In the second session. however,
Fit2 had greater success. He met the
rushes of Flowers with hard right
and jolts to the heart and wind AMI
hurt the champion not a little. But
in the third Flowers was back on the
attack again and blinded Fitzsim-
mons with "a never-ending furry Of
rights and leftsr A right swing
opened a cut over Fitzsimmons's left
eye and the wound was, made the
target for further assault.
Through the fourth fifth and sixth
Flowers pressed the attack and, had
an edge on points. FitZsimmons at
tempted stand in the seventh round
and for time countered heavily
with rights to the body as Flowers
came in, but young Bob didn't have
the endurance TO sustain his attack
and Flowers resumed his steady
punching.
In the eighth, Fitz, spurred by the
presence of Tom Sharkey in front
row seat, discarded some of his eau
tion and fought back eagerly. He
cou'dn't shake off his awkwardness,
however, and his efforts were fruit
less.
