sane men of baseball are sure to stick

@
Report is current that p T. Powers,
who managed the recent New York
six-day race, may be found in baseball
before very long Mr.. Powers is va
cationing at French Lick Springs
at the present time, and he is known
to be very close to President Tener,
of the National League, and Garry
! Hermann, of the Cincinnati Club,
who plans to spend a few weeks at
the springs. Mr.. Powers was lead
ing light in baseball at one time. He
was president of the Eastern League
and also manager of the New York
Club The proposed baseball war is
likely to bring about numerous lu-
crative positions, and Mr.. Powers,
with his influential connections, may
| land a prominent berth in one of the
big leagues.

Jack Dougherty, the pugilistic
manager, reminds me of some of the
sporting writer's who are doing their
level best to belittle the efforts in the
ring of Charley Weinert. Dougherty,
+, who looks after AL Mccoy, in letter
declares that Weinert is afraid of
Mccoy. Those who know the two
boys are aware of the fact that Wei
merit is a much better fighter than
Mccoy. However, Dougherty doesn't
think so and has the following to say:
J. P. N:
| / am waiting to hear from Percy
| Woodruff to let his man meet AL Nc
Coy, of Brooklyn, at 1873 pounds. Nc
| Coy will weigh about $50 ringside.
SO much of him I will match him
against Welnert. Four clubs have Of
fered me dates, but they cannot get
Weinert. He seems to be afraid to
meet anyone. If he does not come
through and sign to meet Mccoy /
will take on Bob McAllister or Chip
Mccoy will meet either one. Hop
ing you will publish this, I remain,
yours in sport,
JACK DoUGHBRTY.
Dougherty is an old-timer and he
| is still pursuing old-time methods
Years ago it was the proper caper to
accuse one fighter of being afraid of
another whenever a match would
hang fire. AS to Weinert being afraid
90 IA no, ~
come of such contest. The fact that
Dougherty names 1853 pounds as the
weight would preclude match, for
Weinert isn't doing any weight these
days and he is trying to put on as
much weight as possible. AS to the
four clubs which would give Weinert
and Mccoy date, dare say IL one
of them would put up a suitable purse.
Percy Woodruff would be only too
glad to allow Weinert to give Mccoy
a lacing
Charley Weinert is such a clever
fellow that 1t will be difficult to Sc
cure a man who will be able to give
him a contest. Tommy Madden isn't
shine" by any means, and he didn't
have a chance In the world. Madden,
however, is good enough to defeat a
whole lot of middleweights and he
would make good match for Young
Kurtz if Gus Troxler would care to
put the match on; but as to Weinert--
he is a marvel. everything considered.
He Is clever with his hands, shifty
on his feet and he punches straight
and hard. His judgment is very good
and his manner in the ring Is likable.
He looks like the makings of cham
pion, but, of course, that is a long
way off and you never can tell about
such things. That he outclasses his
opponents is no particular fault of
his and that he gets the goat" of
his defamers is all to his credit.
Weinert at this minute is the best
boy that has ever represented New
Jersey in the ring, and he will re-
ceive all due compliments from fair
and unbiased sources.
