WEINIC TO MEET CARTER
RYAN WAITED TOO LONG AND CHI
CAGO SIGNED GERMAN.

CHICAGO, April because Tommy
Ryan, middleweight champion, waited
twenty-four hours too long in the nego-
tiations for a match here Monday night
wit hEddie Carter, the management Of
the American Athletic club yesterday
closed with Al Weinigi the Buffalo light
heavyweight. The latter sent his ac-
ceptance of the terms offered by the
club. They call for a match Of six
rounds at catch weights, the money to
be divided 70 and % per cent.
Weinig is at present at Hot Springs, but
telegraphed yesterday he would leave at
once for this city. Training quarters
will be secured down town for the Ger
man, but as he has been in a number
of fights lately it is not likely he will
need much work. Weinigs more recent
performances which include defeats Of
Dick O'Brien in eleven rounds; Dan Cree
don in five rounds and a complete and
clean defeat of Billy Stiff at Milwaukee
in six rounds, show that the former cy-
clist is close to the championship class.
