Howard 1t was because of this un-
manageab BILE desire to test Howard at
every turn that got Weinert into
trouble in the second round, and it
was his ambition to come out with
flying colors that spurred him on to
such great efforts in the succeeding
/ rounds. Once with a good lead, Wei
merit never relincuished his mastery.
/ Now and then Howard would send
over u hard right smash to the jaw
and again he would send a straight
left to the mouth. but never once did
Weinert fail to come back and carry
Howard off his feet and assume COM
mand Of the round. Up TO the fourth
round Howard had good show to
win, but his downfall was started in
the fourth round and never once after
that did he look to have chance.
His best blows went to waste on Wei
merits jaw, for Charley needed them
not and fought only harder whenever
Howard showed a tendency to get
busy
@
For one thing. | was sorry to sec
Weinert drop his boxing style and
take up the fighting style. AS boxer
he has few equals. He has left
hand iab that is not only beautiful
in its delivery. but effective in its ex-
ecution. His footwork is superior and
he has a left hook to the body that
hurts like the mischief All that is
way. When lighting he is not so
graceful, and some of the New York
experts will probably not give him
full credit for his work, All OF them
will give him the decision. but I dare
say if Weinert had fought Tom Glib
bons last night the experts would rave
over him today They will see the
boy again and they will observe his
cleverness. But now that he has
shown me that he can mix IL and take
It aud ssht back and remain strong
believe .a5t his prospects are much
brighter thec they were before he met
Johnny Howard.
Weinert looked bigger in every way
than Howard, yet both boys weighed
the same to the dot In fighting
shoes, each tipped the sale at 10Y
pounds Howard is built on different
inae than Uaft,aF-f nd t1,oA
spect suffers by comparison. Weinert
has the makeup of a reindeer. He
is long of leg, long of reach and he
has "A long, weil-built body. Every
line gives evidence of speed and he
has strong jaw and a stern face
that denotes determination and game
ness. He is so fast that he is he
wildering and Howard at times didn't
know where the blows were coming
from. He ducked at Weinert's feints
the milling became too hot. He
also swung wildly and blindly when
ever Weinert would stand off and
pepper him with his long left tab
and, all in all, Johnny will not for
get for time at least the night he
fought Charley Weinert in Madison
Square Garden ring.

The fourth round was the round i'll
which Weinert showed his superiority
from every angle of the game. He
came out of his corner in a frenzy
and went right at Howard He sent
a terrific left to Towards jaw rs
starter and he slugged Johnny into
clinch He showed his opponent
away and he battered him around the
ring, and Johnny, unable to further
stall off Weinert's vicious attack
ducked his head outside of the ropes
1t was a hard round on Howard and
he went to his corner shaky. He was
beaten man from that round on
but to His credit, he fought all the
way, although he clinched a great
deal Once or twice Weinert was
rather rough in his efforts and he
was warned by the referee. Weinert
was smart in every way and he rarely
overlooked an opportunity to make
his victory certain.

Although Howard made an effort
to fight Weinert into a hole in the
tenth round, Charley beat him to it.
Weinert, with a short left hook to
the jaw. almost sent Howard to his
knees. He staggered, but recovered
quickly and he fought back like a
tiger. Weinert covered for a mo-
ment. and Towards seconds and
friends endeavored to stampede the
place. Weiner wasn't hurt. and
when he opened up he drove Howard
back with lefts and rights to the
head, and the round was his easily,
despite Towards one short flash.
Howard was badly punished. His
nose was swollen and cut and he bled
from his mouth during the latter part
of the bout. His body was red with
