Young Weihert, in Defeating the Famous
Battling Levinsky, Comes Into Great
Prominence in Pusilistic Way.

&SAb&
Charles (Young) Weinert, Of Or
ange, is the man of the hour in ou
gilistic circles today. He is the tall
of New York, and he is the subJec
of conversation wherever ayht faui
congregate. This young man, still il
his teens, played a star enga cement
at Bill Browns gym in New York last
night, and he came out of the Gun.
f1ict the hero of the evening. AS q
| fighter, Weinert has made a name for
himself. He beat Battling Levlnsky
the much-heralded scrapper. IN a
most artistic manner. He outhoxed
him hundred to one, and h. out
fought him, too. The only things
that Levinsky had on Weinert were
weight and rougness. In these points
he excelled, but Weinert led in all the
others. 1t was a most interesting
bout, and was enjoyed by a packed
house, a vast majority of the patrons
of whom were Jerseymen. The CON
test, billed for ten rounds, lasted the
limit, and there were very few lie
moments. Levinskys reputation ieo
most of us to believe that Weinert
was going to face slaughter, but the
Battler's ability was nowhere near
up to the standard of the praises
that have been sounded of him. If

Weinert made such a tremendous
impression that all the managerial

have hard time keeping the boy

why, he is a WONDER" Johnston
said, in talking to me after the con
test. HE is built to order for a
fighter, and with twenty pounds
more on his ribs he would be a hard
man to beat. His left hand is a
beauty, and with a little more con-
fidence he would hit harder, too, l
presume. Yes, your Jersey boy
showed great form tonight. He is
the cleverest big man in the bust
ness"
Others at the ringside were loud in
their praises of Weinert, among them
Jack Dougherty, Charley Doesereck
and Tom ORourke. The fans from the
| Oranges were there in large numbers
and they shouted Weinert's praises
to the skies. They were proud OF
him, and they didn't care who knew
it, and they will be out stronger than
ever when he fights again.
o
When the boys stripped for action
there was a noticeable difference in
their size and in their makeup.
Levinsky came in at 10 pounds and
he looked every ounce of it, Weinert
! tipped the beam at ISL pounds and
he looked rather drawn. His condi-
ton, however, was perfect, and he
went through the ten rounds without
| showing single sign of distress.
Levinsky, on the other hand, houn-
dered several times because of his
efforts, and once he staggered as a
result of a stiff left jab to the jaw.
The Battler wasn't beaten to DEATH -
as the saying goes, or anything like
that, but just as sure as day follows
night he was beaten sufficiently to
safely give Weinert the decision. On
the outcome of the contest consider
able money was wagered. Dan Nor
gan, for Levinsky, and Percy Wood
ruff. for Weinert, bet $500 and placed
the money in my hands. As my de-
cision is a victory for Weinert, Man
ager Woodruff will collect the $500
some time today.
O.
Weinert displayed rare cleverness
throughout the bout, and he never
once lost his head. He became a
little careless now and then as ht
continued to outlook Levinsky, and
for his pains he got one good smash
on the lip that brought about some
swelling. In all, however, he did sx-
ceedingly well. and he might have
won more decisively IL Manager
Woodruff had allowed him to fight
faster, as he wanted to. The instruc-
lions from Woodruff were to take II
easy, and after the fifth round. with
Weinert having all the better OF il
up to that point, Percy kept warning
his man to go easy. Occasionally
despite all this warning, Weineri
would break out and mix 1t, and le
invariably bested the Batter when
