The Record tells the following story
about the fight:
Charley Weinert sprang a surprise
on local boxing fans by defeating
Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant. 1t was

every round, both at long range fight.

they came to clinching he tied the
big Irishman up in knots, rendering
the latter unable TO use either of his
hands In the very first round Wei
merit cut open Coffey's cheek and the
blood trickled from il. In the second
round Weinert brought the blood
from Jim's nose with continued jabs.
Weinert's punches were well timed
and he would lead with his left and
follow the blow with a snappy right
hand uppercut that must have loosen
ed some of Coffey's teeth, as they
seldom failed TO snap the Giants
head back. Weinert's repeated punch
ing weakened Coffey, and several
timeshe was very wobbiy on his feet.

knows it, he will likely put a

Syracuse is being named as sue
cessor to Jersey City in the Internal
tional League. Bill Devery, the prin-
cipal owner of the Skeeters, is up in
the New York state city talking the
purchase of his club over with SYRIA
cuse capitalists. This rumor has been
floating around for some time, and

about 100000 and is a sporty little
town. Sunday BAH is played through
