It's cry for local men in local sports
is made a joke of in it's own columns
because it has come out against
local men who are in local sports In
almost every instance. The decision
against Weinert is only one of many
cases. In this instance it hasn't a
foot to stand on, for every New
York paper that gave a decision but
one said that the fight was a draw
and the New York Sun said that
Weinert had won.

The strongest point In Weinert's
favor was contained in the Assoc
ciated Press report of the battle.
The Associated Press is the source
through which the papers of the
country receive their information. 1t
is supposed to be exceptionally re-
liable and absolutely fair. Both New
ark papers receive the Associated
Press service and that service gave
the fight to Weinert. So, no matter
if a local paper gave a local boy the
worst of it. Weinert can rest content
In the fact that his name was sent
throughout the country as the winner
of the bout. And he was the winner,
and Dan Morgan and his friends can
squeal as loud as they want to-.
Weinert won, and in the wagers that
were left to me his hackers will cash
in the money.

Although LevinslSy was given all
the best of it in being given a draw.
all the nice things said in the stories
had to do with Weinert On the very
face of the facts presented in the
papers it is evident that Weinert was
the winner.
The Ledger, of Philadelphia, which
is the home town of Levinsky, had
this to say about the contest, and the
New York American published the
same story:
Battling Levinsky stumbled over a
bag of thorns in the fighting person
of Young Weinert, of Orange. The

draw. 1t was a bristling fight for
ten full rounds\and in several periods
Weinert whipped Levinsky to dead
standstill. Especially did the novice
shine In the first, sixth, seventh, ninth
and tenth. Had he not held on after
every jab there would have been no
doubt as to the winner. He was
naturally fiustered a bit in facing a
foe of Levinsky's experience. Ring
manship, combined with this very
fact, saved Levinsky from a black
mark. Levinsky was unduly rough
and several times he was warned by
Referee Brown for a generous use Of
head and elbows. Weinert looks like
conner. He is rangy, clever and has
rasping left jab He had ten
pounds the worst of the weights
and in several periods Weinert
| whipped LevinslSy to dead stand
still" On that very statement Vein
ert should have been given the de-
cision.

The New York World says:
young Weinert and Battling
Levinsky fought ten fast rounds to
a draw. Weinert gave Levinsky the
hardest fight he has engaged in for
many months, and the former Phila-
delphia fighter had to battle at his
best to get an even break"
Battle at his best to get an even
breakl' is confession that Weinert
must have been the leader if Levin
an even break"
| In giving the decision to Weinert
the Morning Sun had this to say:
Battling Levinsky ran up against
rude surprise in the person of
Young Weinert. Levinsky has been
winning so regularly of late that he
was inclined to treat the lad from
Orange rather lightly. He took a
steady drubbing for six rounds, wait
ing for chance to put over heavy
blow. Then Levinsky started to
rough it, but again found Weinert
more than his equal"
G
The New York Times printed the
| following:
Battling Levinsky, who is usually
called upon to concede weight to his
opponents. last night had the better
of Young Weinert, of Orange, from a
weight standpoint and had to show
all his cunning to hold the New Jer-
sey boxer to a draw in the main
event of ten rounds at Browns Gym
nasium. The final round showed both
men battering away in a final effort
Weinert really had the better of the
session. He forced the work and
seemed to get over his best blows OF
the bout, mixing continuously with
Levinsky."
Yes, and Weinert had the better of
every session in the bout with two
exceptions, the fourth and fifth
rounds, with the sixth about even.
