lie threw over jim SdNdbe dAtSi
Jim's miserable showing against Tom
McCarty and he gave Weinert the
gate long ago. An effort is being
made. I understand, to persuade
Woodruff to take charge of Weinert
again. This, Percy says, is impos-
sible. He declares he is absolutely
through with fighters. He might go
to see them battle, but as for man
aging the, mot on your life, :
Percy Says.
After the fight he put up against
McCarty, one would think that Saw
age would never want to look at a
boxing glove again. To his credit, he
took a good clicking" but he lacked
the cleverness and even the punch he
used to possess. He was Knocked
flat in the first round and he took
the count again in the seventh round
and throughout the entire contest he
was a badly whipped man. But Jim
has an alibi. He says that one of
McCarty's blows in the first round
broke four of his ribs and that is why
he made such a poor showing. After
the fight Savage complained of pain
in his heart and said it was caused
by a sprain of one of his knuckles.
He didn't know then, he says, that
the four ribs were broken, but he
learned it later on and spent a few
days in the hospital. After he dis
covered the broken ribs, it was easy
for him to account for his showing
against McCarty. and on the strength
of the broken ribs he feels as II he
was entitled to one more chance be-
fore being condemned. II that is all
Jim wants, he should get 1t.
o
That's what we all say-give Saw
age chance. / didn't know about
Jim's broken ribs when reviewed
his fight with McCarty or
might have given him a chance for
escape. But he gave such a putrid
exhibition of fisticuffs that felt 1t
my duty to say so in order to pro-
tect the fans hereabouts who might
be roped in by another match with
Savage as a contestant. However,
II Savage had four ribs busted" in
the McCarty Highland in the very
first round, too-he is surely entitled
to another opportunity If for no other
reason than for the game showing he
made. This is a world Of forgive
and-forget, and Savage is entitled to
as much consideration as the next
one. After a thorough rest Jim
might come out and assert himself.
One more chance is not too much for
any man.
OF course, just as soon as Savage
RECEIVERS from his hurts the first man
he will want to fight Is Weinert, who
seems to be somewhat afraid of Jim.
BY that time it is hoped that Wei
merit will be all through vacationing
in the mountains and that the men
will be in position to come to-
gether in the ring. Because Of the
fake arrangements for their previous
match, opinion is held that Savage
and Weinert should not be allowed
to meet around here. Ordinarily, this
would be the proper course, but in
this case there is so much rivalry
that an honest contest is assured.
In any event, provision can be made
for the disposition of the receipts to
charity If there is anything shady
in connection with the bout. This
will not be necessary, / feel sure, but
/ would not like to vouch for the
calibre of the contest. Savage, in his
last fight, is far from the Jim of
old, and Weinert, I fear, is afraid of
Savage. But let them fight. Some
thing must be done to stir up the
sports in the Oranges, who are
down in the mouth" for the lack
of news. With Savage on the hos
pital list and weinert doing the Rip
Van Wrinkle up in the mountains,
these two beaten wonders" do not
furnish much gossip for the sporty
fans in our neighboring towns.
@
Tommy Allen and Tommy Allen!
manager are of the opinion tina
Tommy Allen, the fighter, isn't re
ceiving sufficient recognition for tn,
ability he possesses. That may b,
so, but perhaps it would be more cor
rect to say that some of the scrap
pers around here are getting to-
much boosting. Allen, / am told, /
very good boy, and he has beatel
quite few of the featherweight
around here. He wants to fight any
body his weight, so here's a chanc
for some OF the boys who think the
are champions.
