Made Good Right off,

As Daubert was hitting well at the
time the ger did not care about
losing him and told him to try his hand
at the bag. This new position Just
suited Jake. for he made good right
from the start. After playing fourteen
games with the club the season closed
Then Daubert received a telegram from
the Kane club. another team In the
South. to join the club at once. Jake
didn't care about going to that club, 50
he sent on his terms. naming a price
which he never thought the manager
would agree to. To his surprise he re-
ceived n telegram a few hour later
saying that his terms were accepted
and TO report to the club Immediately
That gave Daubert nerve and he re-
ported to the club. He again made
good, and on July 10, 1907 the club dis
banded, giving Jake a chance to be a
Tree agent.
The Cleveland Clubs scout, named
O'Brien. had previously looked him
over In Kane. and seeing the condition
OF tho team thought that 1t might dis
band any day and hc would get him
for nothing. Jake didn't know that al
the time, and after tie club ~disbanded
he went to the Marion tO) club of The
o. and T.. League. lie was there only
n few days when tho Cleveland club.
at the suggestion OF Scout O'Br!e1,

club the next spring, but as they had
Stovall and n. Hinchman playing the
bag Jake got no chance to snow him

The second week the Cleveland club
sent Daubert to the Nashville team.
and In the fall recalled him and sold

Spider was tho frst man to
hold tho feathsrwcight champion

to hold the American championship.
Both OF these titles came to him a. the
result OF his battle with Tommy Warren
| at Minneapolis. Technically this contes,
was q twenty-round draw. but really u
was o victory for Weir. who totally out
ciassed Warren. Weir claimed the Fox

Ike Weir was n OF h cleverest
fighters that ever stepped Into a rims.
In his prime no stood five feet FIVE and
three-quarter inches. and weighed only
is pounds when In lighting trim. In ap-
pearance he was dark, with Happy blue
eyes and curly hair. His legs were long
and thin. His arms were also very long
and gave him an unusual advantage In
reach. His read was small and well set
on a pair OF broad shoulders. He had a
big chest and when he appeared In the
rim stripped to lighting toys each OF
his ribs could be seen plainly. Ike had a
love for fine clothes and the Irishman's
fondness for green. On tho street his
appearance was stylish and natty. lie
liked bright coiors and wore them
about his person. but thore was seldom
anything in his attire to offend good
taste.
There are several versions Of why he
was called the Spider" One was that

other story Is that he was given tho
