Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-11-25

more to run and not as much money
was taken in as in the past few years.
! This latter, despite the fact that the
Garden was sold out five of the eight
days in which cycling prevailed at
| Madison Square. In view of this, the
promoters are getting cold feet, and
say they will run the race next year
on a percentage basis. The men may
not like this, but some of them would
pay to ride in the New York race.
The race drew around $4,000, against
the record gate receipts of 49, 900. The
riders received $4,000. against the
usual s25. 900. The profits, it is be-
lieved, were about $4,000, which, while
not so good. are not so bad. When
next year comes around the .promot-
ers will run the race just the same as
this year. which must be stamped as
a huge success. In the races to fol-
low at the Garden, the revenues are
bound TO be much larger, for the pro-
moters have made a reputation for
themselves and they will profit there
by
O.
There appears to be some doubt as
to who was the gamest man in the
New York race. Most everybody |
hands the bun to ALI Grenda, but
Jimmy Moran declares that Joe Fog
Ter. in his opinion, was the gamest !
man in the grind. This in the face
of the fact that Moran and Fogler are
hated rivals in six-day races, and 1t
is the ambition of one to put the
other fellow out of the way. Moran
admits he tried to ride Fogler into |
the ground. but that Joe just |
wouldn't quit, although he was hang
ing on by a thread only. Harry |
Kaiser ii might be remarked, rode |
not only q game race, but he rode q.
heady race George Cameron was a |
good partner for him, but Harry |
never asked for any favors during |
the six days. The amateurs, as a |
whole. did we'll in the race. Gus |
WohIrab is a dandy six-day rider, |
and he may turn out to be a bear
cat" next year. He had a world of
speed this year, and shook some of
the so-called stars Off Wchlrab
blames Jackie Clark for putting him
out of the race. He said that Clark
gave him a close ride and knocked
him down. Little Hanley did well as
far as he went He was very irritable
and fought with his trainers. He will
do better next year.

It seemed 10 be the general opinion
after the bout last night between
Banty Lewis and Jimmy McYeigh
was over that both boys deserved
about equal credit for their excellent
showing. From all accounts it was
a dandy fight. and a big crowd was
on hand to witness the battle. Lewis
and McVeigh are very popular, and
they are good, clean boys outside of
the ring.
@
Announcement was made at the !
Lewis McVeigh bout last night that
Charley Weinert and Jim Savage
would meet at the Olympic Club in
two weeks. Harry Snyder, the
"angel for the club, said the Eve
ming Star, in knocking Weinert and
Savage, was knocking his club. Well,
If that is the attitude of Mr.. Sny-
der, he is a fine sport-but, come to
think of it, he is railroad man, and
T. Co
more than twenty years. We have
devoted much space and consider
able praise to the shows at the Olym-
pic Club, but we have been critical
whenever a Weinert-Savage bout
has been mentioned. In our opinion,
these two gentlemen should box for
the edification of the fight fans.
Then, II the bout is a poor one,
those who go TO see 1t will be out
only their carfare. II that is knock
ing the Olympic Club, we'll have to
confess our sin, and Mr.. Snyder is
hereby informed that we will go
right on knocking-knocking every
thing that doesn't appeal to US
in our way and deserves it.
o
Weinert has lost some Of his brass
and his conceit. His defeat by Jack
Dillon has brought him back to earth.
1t may do him good in the end. He
hasn't been posing up around the Or
anges lately and he hasn't been doing
any training, either He wants to
fight again, however, for times are
hard and money is slow. He acts
as il he might be persuaded to get |
into a ring with Savage. He was in
troduced at the show last night. He |
got in the ring in hurry and he
got out in a hurry, and he acted as
if he was crowd shy" He is quoted |
as saying that it was so long since !
he has been in a ring that he had
forgotten how to get in and get out |
of ring. Then someone suggested
that Weinert ought TO know how to
get out of a ring, for he was knocked
out by Dillon at Philadelphia. That,
of course, didn't listen well to Vein
ert, who hopes some day to be recog-
nized as the champion Of the world.
If that is his aim, he should start
right out now to square himself with
the populace by meeting Savage in a
bout for which no charge will be
made. That would square him, in a
way. for the arrangements he made
for fake fight with Savage-a fake,
we might add, that was exposed in
