Percy. He'll bet his money IN his
man and he won't squeal wnen it's
over, either. He has taken the worst
of it to my knowledge more than once,
, and, outside of giving the "cheaters'
high-class ''tongue-l flashing" he
passes the incident out of his life.
woodruff's confidence In Weinert is
second only to his faith in the p.Nwess
of Kid Wilson. He believes that Wei
merit is great fighter and he is WILL
youngeter. He knows that Lavinsky
is a good man, but he seems to think
that the Battler Is made to order for
his man. That's what makes horse
racing-makes gambling-the differ
ence of opinion.
From observation, 1t looks as If
Woodruff is making a mistake in
matching Weinert against LAWN
sky. 1 told Percy SO, and he replied:
"You know, even you can be mis-
taken sometimes"
That was enough-and enough is
sometimes too much--for me. After
that I simply listened. That "even
you" kind of put me off my balance,
and I decided that Mr.. Woodruff was
big enough, strong enough and old
enough to know his own business
best. So we will have Battling La
whisky and Young Weinert on Decem-
| Der 2. providing Dan Morgan doesn't
change his mind about betting that
$500 on the side.

If Woodruff is full of confidence in
his man Weinert, his man Weinert is
doubly confident of himself The kid
was in to see me yesterday, and he
didn't have a mark to show that he
had been in battle the night before.
| He felt fine, he said, and he felt sorry,
he declared, that he didn't entirely
meet with my approval. He was par
ticularly anxious, he admitted, to
make good In his fight with White.
and he may have, he confessed, made
a mess of it. He said that he never
considered White to have a chance at
all, and he had planned to win as
easily as possible, without hurting his
! hands.
II may have put up poor fight, as
you say" Weinert admitted, "but it
was not intentional on my part I
was warned to be careful and not
hurt my hands, and, therefore.
wasn't doing any mixing. White
fought like a big boob, with his head
down and his hands nearly covering
his face. ! didn't want to jab, for
fear l would land on his head, and /
didn't want to swing for fear of hit
ting his elbow and injuring my hands.
If White had stood up and fought as
he did before I believe would have
beaten him in a round or two He is
a big fellow, you know, and he is
game, and it isn't easy to whip big,
game men whenever you want to. But
I'm satisfied with my showing. I
won, and think ! have good chance
with Lavinsky, although you seem to
think that I will be beaten. Well,
you'll see me fight different battle
that night. Lavinsky stands up and
battles, and I expect to beat him.
Percy Woodruff says he will be pie
for me. and Percy knows just what I
can do, you know. See me fight
Lavinsky, and If I don't suit you then
I'll be satisfied that I don't belong in
the game
| From what 1 can hear from those
who know Weinert and have seen the
Kid many times In the ring. his fight
with Sailor White Monday night was
about the poorest of his ring career.
Surely he didn't show any of the many
nice things Manager Woodruff told us
he possessed, although no one can
deny that there is a rather taking
style about the young man. When he
opened hostilities, he made fine APP
pearance, and his left jabs to the face
were clever and effective. His foot
work was also clever and his right
hand uppercut to the body was nicely
done and effective. But the first round
over, Weinert seemed to forget his
cleverness and he rather played into
Whites hand by allowing the Sailor
to clinch repeatedly. In the last round
| Weinert, miffed at a blow from White,
crouched and let fly few stiff blows
to the body. He would have stopped
| White If he had continued his agrees
siveness, but instead he let UP in his
efforts and became about as slovenly
in his work as the Sailor himself. Yet,
take the bout, all in all, it was much
better than scores of the white hope
bouts I have seen in New York, and
Weinert, as an easy winner, may feel
that he has no apologies to make.

The prospects of Carl Morris and
Jess Willard meeting in Madison
Square Garden on December seem
to be exceptionally bright this eve
ming. Tom Jones, who is managing
Willard, has about squared every
thing with the Buffalo promoters,
who have claim on Wizards serv-
ices. When the matter is definitely
settled Jess will sign the papers to
meet Carl, and we are sure to have
a strenuous battle in the Garden.
Willard is looked upon as sort of
mystery. He has fought well at
