eisively outcassed bis antagonist that
I the tremendous crowd ON hand
dubbed him the best light white

merit made wonderful showing,
though outweighed. The Jersey youth
tipped The scale at 1884, pounds, while

Weinert Well Resolved.
Though Weinert had few personal
friends at tile ringside, he was ae-
corded good round of applause on
/ being introduced Coffey, on the other
hand, appeared as a favorite, judging
! from the ovation lie received, When
| the weights were announced there
was considerable "boolng" among the
spectators. Coffey's advantage in this
/ respect was looked upon as danger
Gus for Weinert, for the Jersey boy had
not met a man heavier than himself
/ in some time. CoffeY seemed To take
| the situation generously and was
| overheard to have said to one of the
seconds that he was going to stop
Weinert's proposed climb to the top
| of the heavyweight division right
/ there" He was sorely disappointed,
| however, for he met man far SUI
perior in every department of the
game. Coffey's knowledge of the
| squared circle, in fact, was lambast-
| ed to the novice class at the very out
set. There were cries of why don't
you stand up and light?" etc, as
! Weinert jabbed, danced, countered
and did every possible thing TO show
up his opponent. Just to make his
| victory of more artistic liking,
/ Charley sent Coffee to the mat in the
! fifth round after raining series OF
/ terrific lefts to Coffey's face. Coffey
was on his feet in a second, however.
Nevertheless, Weinert was credited
with a clean knockdown.

Coffey appeared on the scene shortly
afterward After the weights were
announced the men were brought to
the centre of the ring by Referee
