Charley Weinert, the Clever Jersey Boy,
Wins Applause and Admiration by
Easily Defeating George Ashe.

Charley Weinert, of West Orange,
fought himself into public favor at the
National Sporting Club in New York
last night, when he not only outboxed
but outfought and outclassed George
Ashe, of Philadelphia, in a bout of
ten rounds duration. Weinert won
he might have won long before the
limit If he cared to take chance
and follow up the numerous adj
vantages that came his way. How
ever he put up a great battle of
cleverness, and showed himself to be
In a class by himself as far as the
knowledge of the scientific points of
the game is concerned. No man since
Jim Corbett S time has shown a single
sign of the ring maneuvers of which
Weinert is heir to- He has left jab
to the face that is straight and hard
and that hurts, and he hooked the
same left hand to the body in a man
ner that made some of the old-time
experts at the ringside look with
amazement upon the boy and applaud
him heartily for his cleverness. That
Weinert defeated Ashe Is nothing to
crow over, now that the battle is
past and gone, but beforehand opinion
was prevalent that the Philadelphia
would give the Jersey boy his hands
full AS the bout opened. and as the
bout closed. and in between times.
there was never doubt as to the
outcome In plain language, Weinert
won all the way, and he won beyond
the sharow of a doubt. He made
what might be termed brilliant
showing, but he would have been
hailed as the hero of the hour if he
had won before the limit by a knock
out. He could have disposed of
Ashe, it seemed, several times during
the encounter, but he played a safe
and sure and foxy game, and he never
left the outcome In doubt.
G
Weinert amazed the spectators with
his superior manner Such cleverness
in a big fellow was new to them.
He showed a left-hand jab to the
face that had behind it great punish
ing power and had with it deadly
accuracy. He made Ashe dizzy with
these long, snappy lefts to the face,
and now and then he would send the
left to the body so flush and so clean
that the wonder was the man was
able to stand the punishment. His
right hand was not very much in evil
dence until the last round or So but
when he did use it he got 1t home
clean and he did effective work with
it. As Ashe is considered pretty
good man, the easy victory of Wei
merit is sure to give the Jersey boy
much prestige Ashe has fought Jack
Dillon, Joe Borrell and other men
who are claiming considerable atten-
ton these days, and the Kid should
be given all due credit for his victory.
1t will be said, of course, now that
Weinert won so easily and so clev-
erly, that Ashe isn't much, but that
is generally the way. Beforehand,
Ashe was touted on his record, and
the fact that Weinert made him look
foolish is no reason that Charley
should not receive praises for being
able to perform such a feat.

The method most likely will be to
disparage and ridicule the work of
Weinert's opponents rather than to
give the boy full credit for making
his adversaries look cheap and fool
ish. Then, some day. If he happens
to share defeat. there will be a wild
ringing of the anvil chorus and the
usual crying of 81 told you sos! Be
that as 1t may, today Weinert is in
the limelight. and he Is on the top.
He fought great battle last night
for an eighteen-year- boy. and II
Jersey ever had good reason to be
proud of a boy she has good reason to
be proud of this youngster. He had
everything in the category of tisti-
cuffs last night but the knockout. and
he had that, too, but he wouldn't turn
1t loose 1t may be that he knows
his own business best, but il he weni
after his man in the fourth round
when he had him groggy he would
very likely have settled the result
then and there. 1t would also have
been the rage today. He didn't dc
it. though. and that is up to him
That he could have put Ashe away
if he would have only hurried mat,
