Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-01-28

Once upon a time young Otto was
considered a great fighter and surely
his record of knockouts was startling.
He was vicious fighter, with the es-
sential wallop, but he did not have a
real live manager like Jimmy John
ston at his back. Now, however John
ston is doing Otto's business and the
boy will be given a good fair chance
to make good. Unlike some of the
managers over around New York,
Johnston is on the level. He doesn't
deal in plants" and he doesn't rob
the boys who work for him of their
we'll deserved earnings. He is gen.
| tleman at all times and he can always
| go back wherever he once has been.
He is we'll known, popular and gets
as much work for his boys as any
man in the business He knows the
game and plays it square. Thus his
enviable success,
Another friend of Jim Savage the
fighter, comes forth with a knock for
Weinert, believing, most likely, that
a knock for the Kid is boost for
Jim. However, the communication is
herewith presented:
Orange, n. j., Jan. 81, 1914.
]. p. N:
1t is about time that the Savage
Weinert controversy came to an end
After hearing both sides of the argu-
ment it is evident that a bout be-
tween the men shall never take place
While | admit that Weinert is a very
clever boy, by no means is he G
world heater, and he is not in jim
Savage's class. Another thing, Perc!
Woodruff should not go around claim
ing that Weinert can beat any MAJ
his weight, because some dub may
punch his head off the next time b.
fights.
This Woodruff likes to hear himsel
talk. He talks and he talks, but h
doesn't say anything; that is, any
thing definite. He's a long rang
talker, anyway. He won't say tn
stuff TO your face that he says whel
; your back is turned. He Is gettinl
Weinert unpopular in his own neigh
; borhood by his big mouth, although
: he is responsible for the position tn
Kid holds in the pugilistic world TIL

The Savage Weinert controversy |
over as far as Manager Percy Wood
ruff and Weinert are concerned, bu
the friends of Savage are prolongin
the discussion in the hope, no doub
of getting Jim some kind of a mattel
1t is shame, of course, to hav
Weinert turning down offers ever
day and for Savage to be unable t
get on bout; but that's the way c
this cruel world. There shall be n
fight between Weinert and Savage,
UNDERSTANDINGS for some time, 3
least. Your attack on Manage
Woodruff is out of order and it
printed because it will make hill
more friends than enemies. perc
doesn't care for such line of CAB, an
you are wrong, Mr.. Orangeite, whe
you say that Woodruff won't tell yo
what he thinks to your face. He ba
been responsible for Weinert's pres
emit position in boxing and has
good right to boost him. If the Ki
is beaten in a minute Woodruff
perfectly justified in saying at tn
time that Weinert can beat any ma
his weight. Later on, if things tur
out differently, no harm will HAY
been done.
