them back to the days of Kid Wilson.
when I had Kid Wilson," Percy
says, "and matched him against Billy
Leary, the wise guys told me that the
Kid was in for a terrible beating. I
bet my money on Wilson and the Kid
romped home in the first round.
When Wilson was matched to fight
the Dixie Kid 1t was the same old
Woodruff Is looney. Well, the
world knows what my kid did to the
Dixie Kid. That's my answer to those
who feel that I don't know my bust
ness, and my prediction is that Young
Weinert will beat Battling Lavinsky,
just as Wilson beat Leary and Wilson
beat the Dixie Kid"
c.
The beauty of all Woodruff's talk
is that he backs 1t up with the coin
of the realm. He is betting Morgan
$500 on the side. He put his end
of the side bet in my hands yesterday
and Morgan telegraphed 5000 from
New York on Thursday. In a con-
versation over the phone in regard to
putting up the money, said to Nor
gan:
when will you send the money
over, and how, DAM"
WELL" Morgan replied, hesitating-
Iy, ST can send it over any time, but
how is hard question for me to de-
eide. 1t is too close to Christmas to
take chance on any of the boys
around here, so I guess I'll have to
telegraph the money"
So he did, and the side bet is up
waiting for the winner.

When Morgan and Woodruff agreed
to the terms of the match for LAWN
sky and Weinert and decided to make
a bet on the side the question as to
who would decide the contest was
brought up. Woodruff
asked Morgan who he would select
to Judge the bout for Lavinsky, Percy
figuring that he would also name a
man and that the two men chosen
would agree on the third man. To
Percy's surprise, so Percy told me,
Morgan said:
Let us put the money up with
]. P. N, of the Newark Evening Star.
You know him and know him, and
I'm willing If you are
Woodruff accepted Morgan's propo-
sition and he said that he had never
done business with a man who was
so easy to get along with as "Silent
DAM
"Why, Morgan just let's you have
your own way" Percy said, land
then he doesn't get any the worst of
it. If he wins my money he is en-
titled to 1t and a better--fellow
couldn't have it."
c.
The opinion is very strong that
Lavinsky will give Weinert a beat
ing and that the Battler will win
easily. Tom Messenger. a good
friend and a well-wisher of Wood
rufus, said the other night that
Lavinsky was too tough boy for
Weinert.
"Why, Weinert Is only a kid" said
Messenger, land Lavinsky is strong
tough fellow. He has lots of expert
ence and he can fight a bit. He is
fighting SO much now that he may
not be at his best. Even so, though,
he will know too much for the Or
ange boy
Messenger just about views the
sentiment of everybody who discusses
the match. With all that, however,
the contest is sure to draw a big
crowd. Weinert has a swarm OF
Jersey friends. who will go over to
Browns to see him toe the scratch
and Lavinsky's popularity is SC
pronounced that he draws well nc
matter who he fights.
C
It is surprising how much conf.
dence Weinert has In his ability t.
beat Lavinsky. The overgrowr
youngster is full of pepper, AND
says he will not be beaten. He cites
number of fights to show where he
figures to whip the Batter, and Man.
ager Woodruff can prove to you be.
You'd the peradventure of doubt i
you will only give him a few mo
ments of your time that Weinert !!
Lavinsky's master at every stage o.
the game. He will take you bacl
through maze of pugilistic battles
and out of it he will point with prid'
to the answer which will show hi
man as the winner.
@
Let figures be as they may-result
count. If Weinert can defeat Lavinsk.
the boy is made. If he is beaten hi
career is sure to be impaired. Thos
are the chances he is taking. 1t is
big gamble, just like anything else
From this distance 1t looks like
criminal offense When It is over
NAV be a huge awakening.
