Weinert with terrific swings, but he
was as wild as a March hare and
never bit the mark. Weinert, on the
other hand, though fighting fast, was
as cool as a cucumber and knew
what he was doing all the while. His
fighting from the seventh round on
was particularly brilliant, and Percy
Woodruff will have to come in for a
share of the credit.
@
Weinert appeared to be we'll
trained, and he never seemed to tire
once throughout the fast mill. On
several occasions Levinsky appeared
to be weak Weinert didn't use all
of his best punches last night, but
he made up for them in fighting
spirit. In his previous contests he
hasn't shown sufficient viciousness,
but against Levinsky he seemed to
have lot of fire and fighting spirit.
He rushed good deal and he forced
a lot, but he overlooked many's the
opening for an uppercut and a right
cross. Weinert protected himself in
clinches better than usual, and he
was not so easy for Levinsky's right
hand. The Jersey boy has improved
in his fighting. but he is losing some
of his cleverness. He has all the
actions of a great boxer, but he
doesn't seem to possess the punch. He
is big and strong and should hit a
much harder blow. Perhaps he will
develop that faculty. The men were
almost equal in weight, Weinert tip
ping the scales at ia and Levinslxy
at 17316. When the men met before
Weinert weighed 1863 and Levinsky
lei.
@
Weinert hasn't any more fights on,
but he would find little trouble in
getting matches after his showing
last night. 1t is said that he is going
to rest up for the balance OF the
summer and come out fresh for a
hard campaign in the winter.

Charley Weinert, Heavyweight Prospect,
Outboxes and Outfishts Battling
Levinsky in Fast Bout.

Charley Weinert bested Battling
Levinsky in their ten-round bout at
the Broadway Sporting Club of
Brooklyn last night. and he made
the victory more decisive than
ne did when these two men met at
Bill Browns gym some time ago.
In their previous battle, Wei
merit simply outboxed Levinsky. In
their battle last night Weinert out
fought as we'll as outboxed his man.
Weinert put up the most aggressive
fight of his career. He fought well
and he fought fast and at times he
made Levinsky look like a novice.
He tented the Battler into knots
time and again. Weinert made
fine impression and he was APP
plauded for his efforts. Levinsky
employed rough tactics and he was
booed on several occasions. The
fight was very fast and Weinert re-
manned strong throughout He
trained hard for the bout and his
showing was a revela ton. After
the bout many of the smart set
of pugilism We're loud in their praise
of weinert. They said he. would
make a good man if he followed the
straight and narrow path
o
Outside of the fifth round and the
sixth round, in both of which Lee
whisky had good lead. Weinert had
the better of the milling. He boxed
cleverly in the early rounds and his
left hand was a dazzler for Levinsky,
who almost lost his goat trying 10
avoid Weinert's leads In the fifth
round, though, Weinert made the mis-
take of mixing 1t, and in the sixth
round he did the same thing and was
bested. In close quarters Bevinsky
was the better man, and, as result,
Weinerts nose and mouth were swol-
len and bleeding, and his left eye was
swollen. AS he went to his corner
after the sixth round things didn't
look so propitious for him, but at
this stage of the game Percy Wood

Charley beaten" jumped into the
ring and assisted the Jersey boy.
Whether it was Woodruff's good adj
vice or not, from the time Percy took
charge of Weinert's corner Weinert
started to show marked superiority
He came rushing out of his corner in
the seventh round and fought Lee
whisky across the ring. He had the
better of the round and from then on
he had the better of the battle.
1t was quite evident that both men
had made up their mind to make
sensational finish in the tenth round,
but in this respect Weinert beat
Levinsky to it, Charley fought like
young tiger and he bested the Bat
tier at every turn. He fought him
around the ring and he made him
hold to avoid the onslaught. Levin

LEE TELLS WHY PITCHERS
FIND 1T DIFFICULT TO HIT

Wyatt Lee, the Newark pitcher.
in discussing the failure of pitchers
to hit, comes across with a good ex-
PLANTATION.
Lees theory may seem far-fetched
at first, but after G sidering the
matter and bordering over his argu-
ment II sounds more plausible.
Most pitchers are notoriously poor
hitters because pitching is the hard
est strain on players eyes says
Wyatt This may not seem true at
first glance, but some time, when you
are sitting in the grandstand, just
watch the twirler; take note of the
facial expression when the ball is
leaving his hands, and then see how
closely his eye follows the ball
'.Of course, a PITCHER does not get
as many chances to hit as regular

POOR GIRL NOT REspoNsIBLE

Men who sit still in street cars while
women stand and give as their ex-
cuse the assertion that women do not
thank them when they do offer their
seats, will like this story:

a girl.

she replied.

most pitchers do not practise hitting.
In recent years have found it harder
to hit than when ! was younger, no
matter how much practising I do. The
only explanation l can give is that
the strain of pitching is hardest on
the twirler's eyes, and after a man
is playing professional baseball four
teen years the strain begins to tell.
II still like to hit. and expect to
bat this season better than / did last

that / have been taking particular

PUBLIC GOLF LINKS
TO OPEN SATURDAY
Weequahic Park Course Will Be
Used for First Time Inde-
pendence Day.
PERMITS ARE REQUIRED

Newark golfers will have an OPP
portunity to celebrate Independence
Day safely and sanely on the new
weequahic Park public golf links,
which win be opened Saturday in the
early morning for the first time. Per-
fnits for the use of the nine-hole
course may be obtained from Secre-
tary Alonzo Church, of the Essex
County Park Commission, National
State Bank building, city.
When the first golfer tees up Sat
urday morning. the long anticipated
project of the Essex County Park
Ever since the opening of the Van
Cortlandt Park public links in New
York, the need of a public course has
been felt in this city.
Plans were drawn up year ago,
but 1t was not until this spring that
the links began to take on material
form The links proper were COM
pleted several weeks ago, but the
field house in the course of erection
held up the opening. It was an
nounced this morning that the house
would be finished Friday and the
links thrown open to the public Sat
urday.
It is expected that before long
Newark's youth will become prof.
Gent with the golfing implements,
and that not long hence the public
links will have been the means of de-
veloping a golfer who will bring great
prestige to the city.
Eighty lockers have been installed
in the field house. The demand for
these has been SO great that it will
not be long before additional tiers
will be installed.
The golf links will afford young
sters of the city an opportunity to
earn considerable money as caddies.
The youngsters who carry the golfing
kits and chase the ball will receive
fifty cents a round in compensation.
They will be appointed by the Park
Commission, and will be designated
by an official badge.

generally understood that the draft
had been removed. Dunn is surely
up against 1t, yet the National Com
mission doesn't seem to care a snap.
The commission has the money and
it should help Dunn, who is putting
up a game fight In the end, Dunn
may be able to sell his players and
get out of Baltimore with some
money, but if the big fellows in base
ball aren't going to help the little
fellows when they are in trouble,

Bombardier Wells has won again
and England will sound his praises.
This clever young fellow, who made
such big hit in this country, de-
feated Colin Bell in London last night.
He won by knockout in the second
round, after he had been bested
in the first round and had been
knocked down in the second round.
Wells won by a knockout after get
ting up after a Touchdown. This is
surprising, in that it was the general
opinion that Wells wasn't game and
wouldn't come back after a hard
crack. He did, and he is in high favor
again with his countrymen. Bell
halls from Australia and he was
looked upon as the likely winner. He
was evidently careless with victory
in his grasp and left an opening for
Wells's terrific punch.
@
Jim Savage will read the news of
Wells's victory with considerable
glee, for Savage has been promised
fight with Bombardier on Jim's re-
turn to England. That will not be
for a month or so yet, and in the
meantime Savage is resting up in
order to be good and strong for a
strenuous campaign abroad. A fight
with Wells and victory over Wells
would get Savage both spondulix and
glory and from all accounts Jim is
taking excellent care of himself.
