night, and 1t will behoove the Jerse,
boy to be right on his mettle. 70
some of the very wisest of wiseacre

The more I think of it, the NOR
l believe that Weinert-McA llistel
match would be just the sort of {
match to show Weinert off to ad
vantage. He will have several things
on McAllister and every one of then
| is very good asset. He is taller b,
inches than Bob, he has larger
reach by far and he may, by thai
! time, have a few pounds in weight
although 1t is likely that both mer
will weigh about 1866 pounds If they
meet. The one thing that McAllistel
will have on Weinert is eXperienc,
and generalship. The Californian /,
very cool proposition and he seems
to be right at himself all the time
He is a ring "kidder" and he may be
able to get the Kids goat in the tight
places, but outside of that Weinert
has nothing to fear. A most interest
ing phase of such a bout would be
to see which boxer excelled with his
left hand. For my part, feel sure
that Weinert will beat him to the
punch eight times out of ten, al
though If he does McAllister may
have something up his sleeve to off
set the Kids cleverness in this re-
spect. AS to their right hands, Vein
ert would have a big advantage, for
he can clout with his right about as
savagely as any boy of his weight
in the business.

Maybe Wefnert will not have any
such luck to get on a fight with Nc
Allister. He might secure other bouts
and be able to wallop his way 10
victory, but the one good opportunity
of his lifetime will come if McAllis-
ter takes him on. The Californian,
beautiful boxer that he is, will find a
worthy foeman in Weinert and he will
also find a boy who can hit a punch
that will hurt. On the other hand,
McAllister is far from being a punch
er, although he is a good straight hit
ter, which generally means very
damaging blow. Yes, McAllister is
the man for Weinert. He has a win
over Levinsky, and he is being BOOST
ed to the skies and win over Tim
would mean everything. As far as the
outcome of the match is concerned
there would be nothing to fear. II
beaten by McAllister Weinert
wouldn't suffer much in reputation.
yet victory would make him for
good. Even as between McAilister
and Levinsky. the Californian would
be much preferable for Weinert, for
LeVinsky has a peculiar style and he
Is rough and clinching fighter.
G
A Weinert- McAllister bout would be
all proper and in order, for both men
nave beaten Levinsky. Weinert
trounced him fair and square, but
nearly all the New York papers gave
1t draw-against Weinert, Levinsky
couldn't do a thing. The Kid would
pop him on the nose and when LIE.

merit found way to clinch him thai
made his efforts harmless. Levinsky
was much better and much faster il
his bout with McAllister than he wa.
when he fought Weinert. His weigh
against Weinert was 1859 pounds anC
against McAllister 1872 pounds. Wei
merit against Levinsky tipped tn
beam at 100 pounds, and McAlliste
weighed just the same as the Battler
le2 pounds. When Weinert was in
troduced at the Garden Monday nigh
he received a big hand and even il
the way he conducted himself durin,
the introduction he made good. Whel
the New York fans see Weiner
against some good man they are go
ing to like him, and all the boy vii
have to do from now on is to sit bacl
and wait to be called into the highes
pugilistic society in the land.
