friendly to Levinsky, had the follow
ing:
Battling Levinsky had all he could
do to hold Young Weinert to a ten
round draw. Weinert showed himself
to be a good heady boxer and he
fooled Levinsky time and time again.
Weinert wasn't afraid to mix it UP
with Levinsky, and all in all gave a
good account of himself Weinert
slowed up a bit in the last two or
three sessions, allowing Levinsky to
get an even break"
ALLOWING Levinsky to get an even
break" Yes, but he didn't slow, and
Levinsl1y didn't get an even break.
Wcinert had the better of the last
round, in which a left-hand jab to
the chin nearly sent Levinsky to the
floor and right hook a moment later
made the Battler hug in the clinch
that followed.
All the New York afternoon papers
which handled the story called the
bout draw, and some of the papers
didn't have an account of the bout.

In New York. where Manager Nor
gan and his fighters are popular and
perhaps influential, a decision of a
draw may not have been such a ter
rible thing to expect, but here in
Newark, where Weinert and his man
ager are so well-known. and in view
of the great showing he made
against man who, 1t was believed,
would annihilate the boy, a fair,
honest decision would naturally be
looked for. But Weinert didn't get
a fair decision from the News and
those who know the circumstances
knew beforehand that he wouldn't.
We can't always all agree and all
Of us make mistakes sometimes, but
in the case of Weinert 1t wasn't a
was deliberate injus-
tice.

Willie Richie is favorite over
Tommy Murphy in the betting on
their fight on the coast next Wednes-
day. That isn't any news, of course,
to those who saw Richie fight Leach
Cross and who saw Murphy fight
Packey Mcfarland. According to
those bouts Richie should rule a
to-one shot in the betting
Yet there are some men out on the
coast, where Murphy is particularly
well thought of, who are betting Z
against 10 on his chances.

Newark sports who liked to visit
the National Sporting Club, or Forty
fourth street, will welcome the news
that Tom O'Rourke is going to open
the old club under the old name.
o'Rourke. as a matchmaker, is about
the best in the business. He con-
ducts his club in high-class man
ner and the bouts he staged generally
had merit in them. O'Rourke is sure
to give US some. big fights, and We
will welcome the opening of the Ma
tional Sporting Club under the man
agement of that gentleman.

Charles H. Ebbets, jr.. the new
president of the Newark Baseball
Club, may not be received with open
arms in certain newspapers quarters
around here. but over in Greater New
York, where he is well-known and well
liked, he will not want for praises.
The New York Tribune this morning
has a little good-natured sport at
Young Ebbets's expense and in the
story may be a real live tip. for tho
man who is going to be the president
of the local club.
THE first official act of Charles H.
Ebbets, jr., the new president of the
Newark Indians" the Tribune says,
will undoubtedly be to organize a
chowder and marching club, such as
brought such fame to his esteemed
father. Then will come careful
of all New Jersey battle
fields and holidays. The Ebbets
family is strong believer in teach
ing history by means of baseball"

Pop Arson is given credit in a New
York newspaper for having discov-
cred Jerry Cutshaw. No such thing.
Cutshaw was discovered by Scout
Larry Sutton. As Al Reeves would
say: Credit, boys. where credits

1t has come to pass, as expected,
that the telegram given to Nichols,
of the Navy team, just before the
game with the Army last Saturday,
was not meant for the player at all.
1t was sent to a Lieutenant Nichols,
but unfortunately found its way into
the players hands. 1t contained sad
news, and it was claimed that 1t had
a bad effect on the whole team. 1t
was too bad, but 1t was simply one
of those things that can't be helped.
