When you go for your holiday, don't grumble if you find that your newspa- per has misled you as to the weather in your particular district, or given you a report too general to be or any use. Instead, use your powers Of ob. seryation. and be your own weather prophet.
 You need go no farther than your own breakfast ta1e to start with. Watch your cap Of coffee. When the bubbles collect in the center Of the cup and form 6 kiss" you can plan that picnic with confidence When they rush to the side Of the cup, you had better go carefully. Rain is not absolutely certain. but its very likely. Of course, it is the condition or the atmosphere that affects the tiny bub- bles.

You may succeed the first time, but bJ striking half a dozen in succession on morning when rain is to be expecteA you will use six matches for tive fares.

sessions of good boxing in each. when Cullen would usually show up the better. From the fifteenth to the twenty-third round the fighters were slowed up some. but still were after each other every minute. following the same style of fighting as in the earlier rounds.
 The last two rounds were the fast est of the lot, with Cullen decidedly on the aggressive, and evidently trying hard for a knockout, but Gage kept himself covered all the time, and did not leave the desired opening.
 With both boys unhurt and going fast at the end Of the final round Referee Fogarty gave the only deci- sion that seemed fair to an impartial spectator and called the bout a draw.
 Gage seemed inclined to resent the decision and tried to start an argu- ment with the referee, but failed to win any sympathy from the crowd, most of which thought he was lucky to get draw, as on points Cullen had the best of the argument.
 Although there was no knockout. the ending of the fight which the AaAS hOPC iOAB thOoS Al5 crowd at the ringside seemed we'll pleased with the afternoons sport and satisfied with the management of the affair in all particulars. The only un- pleasant feature of the program, having been Cages trick of trying to get in a vicious jab almost every time the referee was forcing him out of a clinch. He did not succeed in doing Cullen any damage with these blows and brought a round of misses from the crowd on several occasions.
 True there was some fighting among the crowd after the ring bat ties were over, but this was not staged by the Athletic club and the club was in no way responsible for it.
 Although no definite announce ments have been made it Is under stood that Cullen and Waugh will be matched to fight on the 18th of Aug. ust in the ring at Agua Prieta.

WARREN TEAM GETS
 II; SOLDIERS BUT 4 Good Crowd Sees Lopsided Game; Cavalry not Long
 on BaSeballiteS

What has to be considered as a fairly good crowd as compared with the general attendance at the ball games at Warren this season were disappointed in the game that was furnished Sunday afternoon when a team composed of cavalry men went up against the Tri-Town league picked nine. When there is a really good game like the ten inning game with Douglas a short time since the ele ments and lack of interest keep away all save a dozen faithful fans, but when a one-sided game is played the crowd turns out better and the weath. CT man smiles.
 Uncle Sam's boys were no match for the civilians Sunday. It was too easy to be interesting. The khaki clad ones did manage to acquire a total of four runs but what availed that against the double figures shown by the locals.
 The score? We'll it was r to or at least something like that but this did not enthuse the locals when talk. ing of the game afterward.
