Princeton coaches probably realize that
the Tigers need lot of drilling. They
sent them through one of the hardest
practice sieges of the year yesterday.
Last nights fight winners at the Olym-
pih Athletic Associations entertainment
were:
Main bout-"Eddie" o'Keete, a big mar
gin over Young solsberg.
emi-windup-"Johnny' Mayo, OF this
city. won from Young" Fulton, of New
York. Fulton wasn't so willing to ex-
change punches this time.

shade on Eddie" McAndrews. Zulu
Kid" OF New York. beat Joe Rivers,
of this city kid" Wagner. of Wilkes

Walter Maranville, the greatest short

against his fathers wishes Pere Maran-
vile thought that Rabbit" would mako
mighty good timer, but as ball player
bah! Several years ago the "Rabbit'
played amateur baseball in odd moments
and his work attracted the attention Of
the New Bedford. Mass. team. "Rab-
bit" got an offer from the New Bedford
team and went to his dad about It.
Turn 1t down" said Papa Maranville to
Rabbit" who just then was learning
the timers trade. "In a few years you'll
develop into good timer and you'll
make good Wages-at least SO a week.
AS a ball player you'll never make good.
You're too small" rabbit" however
had ambitions to become a ball player
He thought he could make good even II
his father didn't. He disregarded the
advice of his dad and signed up with
New Bedford. "You'll be sorry-and so
will l." said his father when he heard
what rabbit" had done. You'll never
make good, They'll fire you In mighty
short order And you'll get so used to
loafng that you won't want TO work at
your timing Job again. Instead of hay-

who works hard at a regular trade, I'll
have a son who won't be working at
anything"
Was papa right-or. was papa wrong?
Although Eddie o'Keefs outpoIntsa
Young Sosberg at the Olympia last
night the latter scored a knockdown IN
the fourth round. This was due largely
to the carelessness of o'Keefe. who had
the night all his own way
There has been much dissatisfaction
among the football fans over the In
creased prices at Franklin Field this
year. Whether this has really cut down
the attendance appreciably Is doubtful
Still II is a fact that when the prices
OF athletic contests are raised there IS
always a group OF people who vent theiF
diSpleasure through the medium OF the
newspapers This happened when the
prices were raised at shibe Park. YET
there is every reason TO believe that this
fact did not cut down the attendance.
The same thing has happened every
where both in baseball and football, bus
the people after a few futile kicks have
become resigned 20 the higher figures
and soon forget that there had ever
been any others. So it will be here at
Penn.
Mrs r. II. Barlow and Mrs. Edwin

Club Yesterday from the latter her
