Jim Savage is to fight Tom Nc
Carly tonight at iBl Browns gym Il
New York, and he will have to give
good account Of himself, II he hope
to keep in the public eye. He has ha,
a long siege of training and he ough
to be in great shape. A decisive vic
tory over McCarty, of whom little /
known, other than he is the brother o
the late Luther Mccarty. would maxi
Jim a hero in his own home town an,
would put him in q position TO d'
some debating for a match Will
Charley weinert, whose prestige II
the Oranges is very high these days.
c.
Savage, when good, Is a clever, a.
well as a Furnishing, fighter. All hi.
friends say he can beat Weinert, and
that he will beat McCarty so thor
oughly tonight that Weinert will
have to meet him, or else aclSnowl.
edge that Jim has his number
Woodruff, manager of Savage, and
Weinert's principal 'goat-getter. y
will never allow Charley a moments
peace, he says, until he meets Jim ir
the ring. woodruff is peddling the
sarcasm around the Oranges that
Weinert is afraid of Savage, and
hopes, In this way, to get him into a
fight. So far weinert has side
stepped all danger. Woodruff did gel
Weinert to agree to meet Jim, but
there was little Joker in that
match, and 1t finally fell through.
Weinert has been sore ever since, but
he Is now In a position to get even
with Woodruff and give Savage q
Ing Jim in ten-round bout at the
new Pioneer Club in New York. This
match will keep until tomorrow, but
If Savage makes a good showing to-
night Weinert will have to give him
a match or else practically admit
that he Is really afraid OF Jim. Then
it will have to be case of the
mountains and the pumpkins and the
bull cows with Weinert whenever
Savage Is around

Freddie Welsh made many new
friends by the way he fought Ad
Wolgast at the Garden Monday
night. Previous to that bout, Welsh
was always looked upon as a rum
away boxer. Yet to the amazement
of everybody the little Englishman
stood and fought the greatest slug
ger of the day in the lightweight di-
vision. He is wonderful general Is
Welsh, and we all know of his great
cleverness. He evidently figured 1t
out that It wouldn't do for a cham
plon to be running around the ring
followed by an ex-champion so he
decided to stand and deliver 1t
only goes to show what a man of
brains can do. He outgeneraled
Wolgast and he outboxed him. He
took some hard waIlops for a few
rounds, but as the contest progressed
1t was evident that brains would win
over Drawn. To Wolgast's credit, it
must be said he made a fine showing
and he was game 70 the core, but
broken arm or no broken arm, Welsh
would have outpointed him by city
block In the ten rounds.

There Is general some nasty little
talk after every big sporting event.
The Welsh olgast fight was no ex-
ception to the rule. A wise sport told
me that the weights as announced
were not right at all and that some
bets had been made that Wolgast
would not last the limit. All I've got
to say is that II fighters or others are
clever enough to pull off a job as
smoothly as the one on Monday night
why, they are entitled to get away
with It. II ever a fight was on the
level the Welsh wolgast bout was
