out .tnere. This VIII be unk1nd OF
Weinert, but he never will be able
to deny that he gave me the best
story of his life. Savage, too, / un-
derstand, is also 'all het up over
the expose, and he doesn't like me
any more That pleases me, for it
proves that | have done both fight
ers justice, for both fighters are sore
on me.
o
Some means ought to be devised
to bring Savage and Weinert together.
Woodruff says that Savage is ready
to fight at the drop of the hat, and
Weinert said that the 500 forfeit
money I am holding for him can go
as part of side bet for 81 200 that he
will whip Woodruffs big Boob a
pet name Charley has for Savage.
Both men, It is said, are thoroughly
Disguised with the whole affair, and
they would like to get together and
have 1t out in the ring. It would be
a great attraction for one Of the New
York clubs for the Jersey fans would
turn out in droves to see the scrap.
1t is too bad thai the Olympic Club
will not be able to stage the bout, but
Manager Wood has said that he would
not allow either Savage or Weinert to
fight there while he was in control
His decision must be accepted as the
proper move, although the demand to
see the men meet around here and the
confidence of the public that the con-
test would be strictly on the level
might be an excuse for changing his
mind. However, Wood is right in his
stand, and he is to be congratulated
for the course he pursued in the
whole affair
The boxing game is fine sport,
but 1t cannot be said that all it's fol-
lowers are fine sports. Some of them
are eontemptuously referred to as
rats" Now, it is my desire to rid
the game hereabouts of ITS objection
able characters, and for my pains all
kinds of threats are being made
against me. Tt Is declared by one of
the gang that there is a band of
guerillas around here, and perhaps IL
would not be out of place for the po-
lice to investigate the matter. II we
have guerillas in our midst we ought
to know 1t, and the police ought to
know IL, and the gang should be
broken up before 1t becomes as large
or as bold as the band of guerillas
that predominated over In New York.
/ don't know that there are guerillas
in Newark, but I do know that one
person who is supposed to be a full
fiedged member says he Is coming
into the Evening Star office with a
band of guerillas and beat me up.
O.
The fight game around here must
come to showdown The good people
who attend the boxing bouts do not
want to mix UP with guerillas--now
/. that we have been assured that we
have guerillas in our midst. If the
promoters are to tolerate the objec-
tionable element then they will be
the sufferers in the long run. Fight
ers who tie up with the guerillas will
also be presented in their true light
As long as am strong and healthy
/ will make II my business to see
that all sports around here are con-

important match has already beer

big bout at Madison Square Garder
ON November 2 will have Freddi,
welsh and Ad Wolgast as opponents
! and the winner, ii he cares to- ma,
have Packey Mcfarland as an oppon
ent later ON. The Welsh Wolgas
match promises to be good one il
that Welsh is clever and Wolgast il
a rough, aggressive fighter. AS to tn
winner meeting Mcfarland, that, o
course, is another question. Wolgas
never could agree with Mcfarland a
to what should be the weight, thougl
It may be that since he has los
the championship that he has changes
his mind. AS to Welsh, he may b
willing to fight Packey, and there i
more chance of them coming to term
on the weight question than there i
