and that he was ready to wager
$500 that his pugilistic brother could
beat Weinert here, there or any
where, in private or in public, for
side bet or for fun. This enthusiasts
tic brother of Jim's ought to become
his manager, for he seems to have
excellent business intelligence. He
talked like a man that knew what
he was talking about, and his pro-
position was fair and to the point.
I'VE have been reading the mud
singing remarks of Percy Woodruff
about JIM" said the brother to me,
and we have decided to call his
bluff. We believe that Jim can beat
Weinert, and we are willing to bet
our money that way. We will ar
range to have the men meet in pri-
vate or In public, just as it suits the
opposition. am anxious to see Jim
fight Woodruff's man, and I'll do
anything within reason to bring
about the match. I'm not going to
sling any mud, however, but I stand
here ready to put up a forfeit of $50
to bind match"
A most business like statement, all
viii have to admit, and Brother
Savage, after a few side remarks,
went on to say:
The reason I have suggested to
box in private is because Woodruff
has been quoted as saying that he
would not give Dan Morgan, Jim's
former manager, or Leo Flynn, his
present manager, an opportunity to
make any money off his man. Well,
if the men were to fight in private,
there would be only the side bet at
stake. and I can promise him posi-
lively that neither Morgan nor Flynn
will have penny in the $500 we are
willing to wager. Now, I don't de-
sire to make a long story out of a
little matter, but we will meet Wood
ruff and Weinert at any time to ar
range the details for a battle"

Brother Savage wanted to put $50
in my hands as q forfeit of good
faith on behalf Of Jim, but I asked
to be excused. He then went on to
tell in a very fair manner of some of
Jim's ring battles.
Jim doesn't get the proper credit
for what he has done as a boxer"
the brother said. why, he has
beaten most of the big men. He beat
Tom Kennedy. didn't he? And he beat
Dummy Maxsom, Porky Flynn, AL
Kubiak and a host of others. Yes,
he lost to Gunboat Smith, and some
Of you fellows thought he wasn't
knocked out in that fight, but he was.
with bumps, and right back of his
ear was a huge lump where Smith
had hit him and knocked him out.
Jim never quit in his life, and 1 only
hope that Woodruff will see his way
clear to match Weinert against my
brother
