Good Word for the Spider.

Even those little. weather prophet
spiders that build their nests on the

that If many of such webs are seen

not rain. as these spiders know
enough not to build them when it is
about to rain These same spiders
capture hundreds of flies. and they are
especially valuable In catching mos

are the spiders, and should never be

Boxing Show at TroxIer's Last Night
Recalls Days of Paddy McGuisan's
House of Trouble in Harrison

Over at the Central Institute last
night we saw more in a boxing way
than we have seen since the days of
Paddy McGuigan and his House of
Trouble" in Harrison. We saw as
star performers of very interesting
bill Young Weinert, whom Percy
Woodruff told me was a Jim Corbett
in cleverness and Bob Fitzsimmons
in punching ability. and Sailor White,
faithful old salt, whose fears are
sometimes allayed by frequent visits
TO the flowing bowl" We saw those
two men of considerable pugilistic
renown go through four highly en-
tertaining rounds and we felt sure
throughout the contest that weinert
doomed up as an easy winner; but we
were disappointed in the young man
whom Manager Woodruff had said so
much about. We didn't see a semb-
lance of the famous Gentleman Jim,"
unless, perchance. the fact that
Weinert wears his hair pompadour,
a Corbettesque style of the olden
days. We didn't see the knock knees
of the equally famous "Lanlxy Bob"
and we couldn't, for the life of us, see
where Percy Woodruff saw so much
in his young protege.
@
Maybe, as Manager woodruff says,
Weinert will be the champion of the
world some day, and for Percy's sake
I hope his dream comes true. Taking
his work last night as a sample of
his form, in my opinion, he needs a
lot of grooming. He has the max
ings," as Jimmy Moran, the cyclist,
would say, but he will have to be
n1rsed along very carefully. He has
a good, stiff jab with his left hand
and he uppercuts we'll with his right,
but he fools too much in the ring,
and he needs chastising. What Wood
ruff ought to do is to pinch his chin
and box his ears and tell him to tend
strictly to his knitting when he Is
boxing. He was probably showing
On ilttSL UlB III dilu OIl6 Oh Ills auIulT-
ers whispered to me that he was saw
ing himself for his bout with Battling
Lavinsky on December 2. From what
observed of Weinert in his bout
with White there shouldn't be any
Lavinsky- Weinert bout on the Sec
ond; but old stubborn Percy, of
course, will go on with the show
and maybe he'll come out all right.
C
Whites appearance and his condi-
ton came in for much discussion.
Opinions vary on the subject. Some
who know the Sailor real well declare
he wasn't bibulous. Others, among
them doctor, said that White was
under the influence of some kind Of a
The Sailors actions when
he entered the ring and throughout
the contest were such as to leave the
impression that he had given some

COAST FANS PICK /
JOE RIVERS TO WIN
Mexican Slight FayOrite Over
Leach Cross for Bout
Thursday.
BOTH ARE CONFIDENT

After looking over both Joe Rivers
and Leach Cross in their workouts for
their bout on Thanksgiving Day, the
betting fans yesterday made Rivers
10 TO 8 favorite over the dentist.
Backers of Cross are disappointed at
the odds and want at least 10 to 8 for
their money and it is likely they will
get it. Plenty of money is in sight tc
back both boys.
Training will come to an end this
AFTERNOON, SO far as boxing and the
strenuous work is concerned. They
will do light work tomorrow to polish
off the rough edges and then rest for
the battle the following day. Rivers
and Cross are emphatic in their dec
larations that they are pleased with
their condition, and will have no ex.
cuses on this score in the event of de-
feat.

he is not a At subject for ring en-
gagements. He is said to have de-
clared his intention of retiring, and it
is to be hoped that no one will per-
suade him to change his mind. He is
a peculiar character, yet he has fought
some hard battles. He has met any
number of the leading white hopes"
and he has managed to hold his own
on numerous occasions. 1t Is said
that the many beatings he has re-
ceived has affected him and that his
queer antics are the result of his
prize-ring efforts and not because of
dissipation, in which event he should
be protected against himself. His per-
formance last night was entirely out
of order and that he remained on his
feet throughout the four rounds was
more through the grace of his OPP
ponent than through any ability on
his part.
Bigger in every way, White, If fit,
with his several years of big
League experience, should have
beaten Weinert, but the Sailor really
wasn't a match at all for Woodruff's
man. Weinert was evidently willing
that such an impression should exist
In the minds of the spectators, for he
did his best to make White look fool
ish, but he seemed not too anxious to
terminate the battle before the limit.
If that was his plan he is very un-
wise boy. At times he looked strik-
ingly clever, especially when he used
his right-hand uppercut. His left jab
to the face is also a piece of nifti-
ness, and his footwork is more than
creditable. He had a more fresh than
confident air last night and he
seemed to be set on Showing off," He
showed enough to lead me to believe
that he can do much better, although
he easily bested the much bigger
Sailor White in every round.
Weinert gave White good, sound
lacing, and the Sailor seemed to be
delighted when the finish came. He
grabbed Weinert by both hands and
was almost in the act of embracing
him. Weinert played mostly for the
body, but few left taps brought
the blood from Whites mouth. The
fourth round was a hard one for the
Sailor, as Weinert appeared to wake
up to the fact that he was supposed
to do something to uphold the many
nice things we have been quoting
Manager Woodruff as saying about
him. The punches, to the body made
White vince and clinch and drag his
feet heavily over the canvas floor
Sailor didn't care much about what
he did to Weinert in that last SEES
sion, but seemed DESTROYS of lasting
out the round. Thus the occasion for
his broad smile at the finish.
In his efforts to be fresh, Weinert
looked rather awkward at times and
now and then the Sailor sent in

Minds MAY PIay for Penn.

There was joy in the University of
Pennsylvania football camp when 1t
was learned that Chester Minds, the
Red and Blue fullback, probably will
be able to play in the game against
Cornell on Thanksgiving Day. Minds,
who has been on the side lines for two
weeks with an injured shoulder,
donned a suit yesterday and took
part in the practise of the team at
the Whitemarsh Country Club. His
shoulder Is still weak, but it Is be-
lieved he Will be in shape for the final
contest of the Pennsylvania schedule
Signal drill featured the workout
yesterday. Merrill was at quarter back
again, while Marshall and Captain
Young were used as halfbacks. Avery
pleased the coaches with his punting,
some of his kicks being good for
sixty-five yards. while they seldom
fell short of fifty.
Cornell's football squad, twenty-six
strong, left Ithaca amid the cheering
of 5000 undergraduates, for Atlantic
City, where the players will be quar-
tered until Thursday morning.
The send-off was the most enthus-
iastic ever given Cornell team.
After big mass meeting on the Ii
brary slope a procession of UNDER
graduates. headed by the cadet band,
escorted the players to the station.
Several members of the team, In

Army's chances look better.
When the short hour OF practise at
the Naval Academy yesterday after
noon was over only three days of
work for the Army game in New
York on Saturday were left. 1t is not
certain that there will be any further
scrimmage against the scrub, as the
coaches consider that the players are
just about on edge and fear that
more work is likely to do harm rath-
er than good
The practise, in addition to the sig
nal drill, consisted of kicking, pass
ing and handling the ball, while
considerably lower temperature did
much to increase the dash of the
players.
