to fight recently. he either Injuries
himself in training or else is so
affected that he is unable to train.
Now, we have been waiting for some
time for Howard to get thoroughly
well and come out and make match
with Weinert AS he doesn't seem to
like the idea, why I'll have to get on
his trail again. If Howard really
wants to meet Weinert," Woodruff
continued with some show of spirit,
''he will find US ready to do business.
He can get a match with Weinert at
Browns Gym, in New York, but will
have to put up $50 for appearance, as
he has been sick so many times on
the nights he was billed to fight The
purse should be big enough for him,
as it suits Weinert, who can beat
Howard just as sure as the sun sets.
We have line on Johnny. YOU
i know, and we wouldn't think of talk
ing advantage of it, only we under
stand that Howard s manager is
spreading the report that Johnny is
unable to get anyone to fight him.
Now, Weinert will fight him and beat
him, and if he doesn't think so, let
him come to the centre and make the
match
While Howard was the particular
target for Manager Woodruff's. at
tack, Percy said that Weinert was
open to meet Dave Kurtz Such Il
match, according to Kurtz, wouldn't
be an even thing, in that Weinert
weighs 1853 pounds and he weighs only
14S pounds. But Woodruff, who ism
averse to taking the best of bar
gain, contends that kurtz hasn't any
class to fight in, so he must go into
the middleweights. Anyway, kurtz
is not seeking trouble with Weinert,
which is good sense, from what we
can hear. Dave has entirely recovered
from the artistic whipping he re-
ceived from Gus Platts, Jimmy
Johnston's English middleweight. and
| he came around to show us that MS
damage wasn't quite as severe as
nainted Kurtz declared that the
worst he should have received was
draw, and while he admits that ms
left eve was rather picturesquely
decorated, he says that Platts showed
evidence that he had also been to
prize-hght. Dave also said that he
blamed himself for not winning in
the first round when he Knocked
/ Platts down.
1T looked so easy Kurtz declared
that | didn't make any haste to
finish him. When he recovered,
though, he proved to be very clever,
and | had my own troubles. But he
didn't beat me-not as badly as you
have intimated I'm going to begin
a hard training session now, and soon
I'll be after all the boys in my class,
which Is under $50 pounds. But for
Percy Woodruff's benefit, just let him
know that l am not fighting middle
weights-not right away. If he is
disappointed, let him worry, Tor why
should II"

From Switzerland comes a postal
to me bearing the familiar signature
of downright and containing a little
dash of the downright humor.
"A fine country. This is where they
raise the grape juice for Bryan's din
ners," runs the postal.
Not single word. though, about
That's all" which is surprising.
