De gooo one. Kenny, we are told,
is a clever fellow, with a reach.
fguratively., a mile long. He has
been in the game quite a while and
has had lots of experience. He has
been to several corners of the globe
and he has fought in many lands.
He has large ambitions and he hopes
some day, he says, to be the best
man in his class. Weinert has been
told that Kenny is a tough fellow,
and he is well prepared for the bat
tie. If he wins he will go right along
the line, taking on boys in his own
class, and when he gets big enough
If he is still in the limelight Manager
Percy Woodruff will send him up
against the heavyweights. Just now,
however. Woodruff is not figuring on
overwhelming the kid, who seems
willing to fight anybody. If Kenny is
beaten, Weinert will take on George
Ashe on January 20, after which he
had been slated for go with Bob
McAllister at the National Sporting
Club. Now that McAllister has been
put out of the running by Gibbons
maybe the McAllister bout will not
hold good, in which event Tom
O'Rrourke will likely pick out one of
the best 165-pounders in the business
to meet Weinert. Joe Burrill would
be a good man. and he has expressed
a willingness to fight Weinert in
Philadelphia, where Burill has made
big name for himself.
@
Weinert is said to be in grand
shape for the bout tonight. He is
ambitious, anxious to win and he is
not afraid to work hard to get in
condition. He Is taking on a little
weight, which is encouraging to his
manager and Woodruff said yester-
day that the Kid had improved an |
awful lot.
''Weinert is getting better every |
minute" Woodruff said, "and he is
going to reach the top in hurry. |
I'm not anxious to rush him, but it is
not an easy thing to hold the boy

C
1t is expected that a large crowd
anges will go to Browns tonight to
see Weinert fight. The fact that the
Gibbons-McAllister bout was only
one night previous is sure to hurt the
some for everywhere you
would look last night you would see
a Jerseyman. The battle means
much to Weinert, and it behooves
him to fight right up to his best, and
cut out all the kidding tactics he
has employed in the past. When he
gets at the top of the heap he will
be able to pull off many things, but
just now his greatest asset is to fight.
He is clever enough to take care OF
himself against anybody, but he
should follow up an advantage quick
er and endeavor to make every round
a winning one. Decisive victories
count like sixty. A decisive victory

in Brooklyn on January II and at

January "a.
Tom ORourke, manager of the
National Sporting Club, was over at
the Gibbons McAllister fight invit-
Ing everybody to come over to his
club tonight to see Patsy Flynn
knock out Battling Levinsky
ORourke is very positive that Flynn
will defeat Levinsky, and he was
one of the few smart men of the
game who said that Gibbons would
whip McAlllster. Even his good
friend, Bat Masterman, one of the
best judges in the country, was GER
tain that McAllister would outlook
Gibbons, and after the bout Tom
didn't forget to give Bat the 81 told
you so" in joshing way.
@
Porkey Flynn will have a chance
tonight to get himself in the lime
light. Levinsky, his opponent, has
received much attention, and even
the whipping McAllister gave him
hasn't hurt his reputation much.
Flynn's opportunity for greatness,
however, will come with a knockout,
which Manager O'Rourke declares
will be the outcome of the contest. |
Such happening would bring about |
a new situation in the heavyweight |
division, in which situations are
numerous these days. It would mean
that Flynn would be open to fight |
