CHARLEY WEINERT
but he was careful beyond measure,
and thus, while fame he has today,
he isn't as famous as he would have
been If he had played the more des-
perate game
IT could not have been through any
fear that Weinert held back from
beating Ashe into submission after
once he had established his superior
class over Ashe as a boxer and as a
fighter, for really Charley had moth
ing to fear. He had Ashe Buffaloed
to such an extent that the Quaker boy
forgot all he knew and fought at
times like a lad of school age. He
missed his leads and he was never abe
to get in a counter. He could hug
well and he did much of this, but for
fellow who Is supposed to be so
clever in the clinches Weinert made
him look like a deuce; but let it be
known that Weinert knows more
about protecting himself in the
clinches than any fighter In the ring
today, and this also goes for Packey
Mcfarland, who is a postmaster at
holding his opponent safe when In
close quarters. Weinert has a way
of his own when it comes to holding
his opponent, and to the keen OBJ
server he has the best way in the
world. He clinches from right to left
instead of from left to right, and in
this way he places his opponent COM
pletely at a disadvantage. McFar-
land clinches in that way, too, but he
isn't as nifty at II IS Weinert is-no,
not by a long shot.
G.
Weinert is built on speed lines and
he has tremendous speed. His foot
work is a dream and 1t Is good bet
ting that he would be a bear" at the
Tango" and a winner at the "Hesita-
ton" He glides in and out like an
apparition and he sidesteps in a way
that tecalls the expert footwork in
this direction by the once famous Kid
Mccoy His eye is keen and he
thinks quickly, and he uses his hands
like piston rods to feint his opponent
into knots and to batter him into
submission. He shapes UP 50 classy
at the start that he takes the very
gimp out of his opponent and he
never fails to land the first blow and
sometimes the first dozen blows. He
| dances around the ring like a master
of terpsichore and he makes even a
/ fast man before him look slow In
comparison. He slips out his wonder.
| full left hand and his opponents head
! is rocked back on his shoulders and
at the first signs of an assault from
! his adversary's quarters the Kid gen,
orally beats him to it with the puncf
and then finishes up the attack b,
tieing his mans hands in a knot. AL
this cleverness eventually makes {
"boob" out of a very good prospec
and that is why some of the fans ar,
saying that Weinert didn't beat mucl
and that George Ashe isn't much.
@
After his exhibition last night W.
have more confidence in Weinert thar
ever. We were little dsappointe,
because he didn't finish his job NOR
thol oughly when he might Just a!
we'll have done so, but the more w
think over the situation the more W
are inclined to give Weinert tn
form his own labors in the ring. o
course, a knockout is a very de
sirable asset, especially for fello1
who is coming up the line so stron
as Weinert, but II the patrons OF tn
roped arena will look back as far a
they can remember they will come I
the conclusion that knockouts ar
few and far between in importar
of ten-round bouts. While there ism
q doubt in my mind that Weinei
could have beaten Ashe before til
limit last night the fact that h
failed to do the trick is nothing to h
discredit. He made a grand shown
and he made host of new FRIEND
and admirers. He put up a prett
fight and a clever fight, and he mao
everyone at the National Sportin
Club take off his hat to him as
y boxer-a new school boxer with SON
of the old-style trimmings.

When Weinert came into the rir
he acted just like a schoolboy OF
for a joyous time. He had a shak'
hands with Ashe as a starter and
had good look around at his frient
in the audience Kid-like, he respon,
ed with look and bow to ever
call of his name, and throughout Il
preliminary arrangements for Il
contest he stood up against the rop'
and chatted with his seconds. #
acted as il ne was just getting read
for Il party. and there wasn't a sig
of nervousness or fear in either b
