bad. and neither had thing 10 crow
about at the end of the bout. Aftel
the fight Savage said he had been en-.
gagged to meet Sam Langford at Phil
adelphia in two weeks. Jim VIII have
to do better than he did last nighi
to stand a ghost of a show VIII
Langford. The Jim Savage who beal
Tom Kennedy would have beater
Flynn ina few rounds, but it WASH
the same Savage at all, though Man
aeer Woodruff was ready to make
excuses for him.
Despite his poor showing in his
bout with Flynn, Savage is going
fright after Charley Weinert. Wood
run says he will sick Jim after Char
LEV until Weinert either comes out
and fights or else beats it to the tall
timbers. We will soon know which 1t
shall be. In the meantime Weinert Is
| telling his friends that he is mateheo
to fight at Ebbet's Field on Labor
Day. If that is SO it will mean that
the butcher shop will have a holiday.
Weinert was not at the Savage nght
last night. He didn't miss much, but
Savage saws that he would make 1t
more interesting when he got Wei
merit into the ring. Weinert is
pretty foxy fellow. and unless he Is
sure he can beat Savage he will lind
| an excuse to pass Jim up. Friends of
both men, however. are clamoring for
the bout, and the one who shows the
white feather" will have to go to
the mountains Savage says it won't
be him, and Percy Woodruff is back
ing him up.
l. @
Weinert called me up on the tele-
phone this morning to inquire about
the Savage Flynn fight.
ut is too bad Jim didn't win" he
said. sarcastically, for then he could
fight me. A friend of mine would bet
saloon against the saloon owned by
Woodruff, and after I had won the
saloons 1 would give Savage a job
tending bar"
In talking about a fight with Saw
age, Weinert said he was willing, but
that Woodruff wouldn't bet any
money on the side.
WHY. 1 offered to bet Woodruff
$500 that 1 could beat Savage" Vein
ert said, but Percy wouldn't do it.
He said he would fight winner take
all, but l couldn't see that. Why
should I bet my end of the purse when
I have O man who will back me? L
also offered Woodruff another propo-
sition. I told him we would bet him
81, 900 that could whip Savage, If he
would give me present of $1,000"
Weinert declares he Is willing to
fight Savage, but says there is neither
money nor reputation in bout with
Jim. The young man seems to have
a swelled head and it is said he is the
champion sposer of the Oranges.
Eventually, however, Woodruff says
he will force weinert into fight with
Savage and then there will be one big
night, Incidentally, Weinert said he
didn't know whether he would hgnt
at Ebbets Field on Labor Day. lie
