SAILOR
was because the Crimson was more
powerful than the Tigers; but Wilson
was game and he was ever desperate
at the end.
Young WeinertF is to fight Sailor
White tonight at Gus Troxler's Cen
trail Institute, and the fans are gab-
bling pro and con over the probable
outcome. Take Manager Percy Wood
rufus word for it and Weinert will
race home with hollow honors as the
result of his efforts. To live up to
the praises heaped upon his pugilistic
prowess by his manager Weinert will
have to do all of that and more,
too. According to Percy, Weinert is
the marvel of the day, and that he
will some day become the heavy
weight champion is Woodruff's open
boast. In cleverness, the manager
tells us, Weinert is a Corbett and In
hitting power he is a F'itzsimmons,
and all he requires is little expert
ence. so Percy tells us, to be able to
walk right up to the throne and lift
the crown. Such marvel is surely
worth seeing, and I hope to be pres
ent at the show tonight. Woodruff
has promised that Weinert win be at
his best, and, as White is said to be
training faithfully for the contest,
Weinert's task may not be SO easy,
after all. The Sailor Is worthy salt,
and he can stand up under a hard
facing. He, too, has punch that
does things to an opponent, and he is
particularly anxious, understand, to
do all the execution possible in his
bout tonight with Weinert. Surely
White has an old grudge to square.
for in a previous bout Weinert made
the Sailor do the dip" and other
fancy stunts. OF course, White pro-
duced an alibi afterward and asked
for another chance. The chance has
arrived. We are not going to predict
any outcome, so as not to discourage
either of the contestants, but Percy
Woodruff tells me the beating that
Weinert gave White on their previous
ring occasion will be as a love affair
compared to what he expects to do to
the Sailor this evening.
O.
| true they are delightful but when
they go by contraries they leave q
most uncomfortable feeling. A fight
is never won until it Is over, and some
of the surest things in pugilism have
gone awry. AS to Weinert, his man
ager has mapped out q strenuous
campaign for him. He has saved him
from hard work for more than a year
but now he seems to think that the
his man is old enough to go out in the
world and meet some of the really
tough game. Right after the bout
tonight with White Percy is going
to point Weinert for the most i'm
portant match in his career, the one
with Battling LavinslSy, billed for
Bill Browns, In New York. on De-
cember ?. That will be a real test
for the Jersey boy, but until he has
disposed of the Sailor 1t is perhaps
| just as we'll not to go too far in ad-
vance and discuss Weinert's chances
against LavinslSy.

The show tonight. we take it, il
going to be of considerable Importance
and at the earnest solicitation OF
Manager Woodruff we have consented
to be present. 1t will be something
novel for me, those four-round bouts
with the big gloves, and it will b.
new, in a way, for l haven't been tc
one of those Troxler entertainment!

to act naturally and I'll applaud wher

the regulars closely and I'll observ,
the other newspaper men who Seen
to be so deeply interested and so wei
posted In such affairs. l presume
Bantye Lewis and Young Kurtz will
be there cumming with 'Wisey,
who. of course. will print long inter
views with these famous knights o
the ring on the morrow. While at tn,
