TWENTY BOUTS ON
TURNER'S PROGRAM
Many Local Amateur Boxers
Have Chance to Capture
HOnOrs.

Twenty bouts are down for decision
tonight in the semi-f1nals and finals
of the amateur boxing tournament at
the National Turn Verein, in Bruce
street.
The Sportius A. c., Of the 'Hill'
section. will carry off the major por-
ton of the prizes in the 10S-pound
class, as their men have but to dis
pose of Harry Rutkin, of the Essex
\. c., to win. The 115-pound class
should furnish excellent sport, with
three local boys contesting for the
honors, against John Garry, Greek
American A. c.. and James Hogan,
unattached. Paterson Henry Conrad,
of New York, one Of the most con-
sistent winners at the Turner's bouts,
looks good again in the 125-pound
class, although he will not get
through without hard contest, as
he will meet some very good boys,
The 135-pound class promises to be
the star event of the night, as four
excellent entries are left. The Turn
ers are pinning their hope on Benja-
min Cohn. He has improved consid-
erably since last season, and on Sat
urday evening made his opponent
quit at the beginning of the second
bout. The Turner's also expect to
win in the 145-pound class with Ell
mer Linkels.

Frank Klaus some time ago at Madl-
son Square Garden. However, he has
proved himself to be a pretty good
man: but he is not big enough or fast
enough for q man like Weinert, If
Weinert is at his best and Is not
afraid Of his man.
g
Weinert likes to fight in Philadel-
phia. Those six-round bouts appeal
to him very strongly. He doesn't
have to train very hard and being
young and strong he can go six
rounds pretty fast Newark and New
York as fighting grounds do not APP
peal to him. He would rather go
away from home and take a chance
in the cold outside world. He
had a chance to fight Jim Savage over
in New York and get $500 for his end.
He didn't want 1t, apparently, and
now it is too late, for Savage's poor
showing against Tom McCarty has
eliminated Jim from all calculations
in a pugilistic way. Perhaps Weinert
isn't a bit sorry. either, as judging
from his actions he evidently didn't
want any of Savage's game. He was
afraid Jim might beat him and his
friends were worried almost to death.
G
Freddie Welsh Is to / favorite
over Charley White for their fight to-
night in Milwaukee. Little money Is
being wagered on the contest, though
the interest is very big. A change
has been made IN the referee. Wal
ter Houlihan has been substituted
for Harry Stout. This was done at
Welsh's request It is said that Ad
Wolgast will be Welsh's next oppo-
nent in Milwaukee If Freddie beats
White.
O.
Eddie Wallace, of Brooklyn, be-
cause of his victory over Eddie Nor
gan, has come into popular favor
among the fight fans. Wallace beat
Morgan in every round the night
Welsh whipped Wolgast, and now he
is going to box Eddie Campi, the
crack California bantamweight This
bout will be held next Saturday night

Following the unsatisfactory results
of two big boxing contests of the re-
cent SUMMERTIME Johnson-M Moran
bout in Paris and the Welsh-Ritchle
match in London-there has been
hue and cry raised against the pres
ent twenty-round limit, especially for
championship contests. Suggestion
has been made that hereafter all title
bouts be arranged for forty-f1ve
rounds, even If they must be held in
Mexico or Monte Carlo or Liberia
However, study Of the principal
boxing contests held since the sport
was rehabilitated as "the manly art
shows most convincingly that twenty
rounds give ample time for a willing,
hustling, aggressive boxer to demon
strate his superiority over his oppo-
nent. A list OF thirty-three bouts.
which went a total Of 500 rounds,
shows an average Of a little more
than fifteen rounds.
II from that table were taken the
two Sullivan fights in which he bat
tied thirty-nine rounds and seventy
five rounds respectively against Char
| ley Mitchell and Jake Kilrain, the av-
erage would be about twelve and a
half rounds. And If the two memoir
able bouts of Battling Nelson of for
ty-two and forty rounds, respectively
against Joe Cans and Ad Wolgast
were deducted, the average is only
a little more than ten rounds.
Apparently, it is not the limited
number of rounds that is responsible
for the disappointing results of many
bouts recently. 1t would seem from
the performance of fighters of other
days that it is the supercaution ant
conservatism of the modern boxers
who have an eye to the moving pic
lures, that enough film may be made
to produce a good show; an eye t.
their hands, that they may not bt
broken by any wild, vicious swings
and an eye toward return match
best obtained by showing a not too
marked superiority over their op.
I ponents-that is the cause Of so many
/ matches going the limit to q draw Of
q referees decision.
