heroes have been defeated, and there
is no one left to claim the posing
championship, unless it be Kid Boom
ton, who hasn't reached that stage
yet, it is said. Yes, things in sport
! ing way are very gloomy up around
the mountains. The defeat of Savage
by Tom McCarty was blow that
hurt some and pleased others, but
when Weinert was Laid at rest" the
whole town went in mourning. 1t
has been suggested that Savage and
| Weinert be matched to box at the
| Olympic Club. There is apparently
no objection, despite the fact that
the men were supposed to fake their
match OF recent date. The bout was
called off when the fake was exposed
in these columns, and since then
Savage has been the aggressor in the
talk for another match, Although he
may win in a minute, it looks as if
Weinert is afraid to meet Savage.
Jim Is more than willing, it Is said.
The club might protect itself by
charging a small fee of twenty five
and fifty cents admission, say, as
neither man seems to care much what
he gets out of the bout as long as
he is given an opportunity to show
his skill.

Young Gradwell, the fighter, has
learned a lesson and he has also
learned that fighters, managers and
promoters are a heartless aggrega-

with Knockout Brown. Gradwell
guaranteed him $3.50 to box ten
rounds, accepting fifty-five per cent,
of the gross receipts as his share.
Gradwell won the fight, but he lost
money on the proposition. as his
share of the gate receipts were less
than the amount he agreed to give
Brown. Out OF pocket. he appealed
to Dan Morgan to accept a few dollars
less than the guarantee. Dan
wouldn't do it. He appealed to Eddie
Wood, the manager of the Olympic
1
less wretches, both of them. we say.
But it will teach local boxers not
| to have such a high opinion of
broken down fighters. The Newark
fans read the papers and they
know who is who and what Is going
| on.
Jack Mcfarland, the heavyweight
was in Newark last night booking fol
bout with Jim Savage. He would
also take on Charley Weinert, anc
would not object to a match witt
Tom McCarty, who beat Savage MOI
long ago at Browns, Mcfarland
wants to fight here. and he says hi
will light anybody He has good mer
behind him.
