that the crap-shooter, who, he claims,
is only his trainer, was a "squarer
man" than Woodruff. This is more
evidence that the crap-shooters
should be kept out of the boxing game
in this city. There isn't any luck
wherever they are. 1t is my desire
to keep the game clean. but this is
impossible If club owners and club
managers will not protect themselves.
But 1t will be case of clean, honest
boxing in this vicinity. or there will
be no boxing at all.

Tho Olympic Club is not to blame
in any way for the fiasco and Man
ager Wood has acted the part of q
real sportsman. He not only de-
clared off the Savage Weinert fight,
but he says these men will never be
allowed to fight at his club as long
as he is the manager. Wood also de-
clared, it is said, that he would not
match any of the men who were in
any way connected with the crap
shooter. This, If true, is another ex-
cellent move on the part of Wood
It will save him, perhaps, his fight
club. The crap shooter "squealed"
on me to my boss, and he is also
going to attack me with band of
guerillas. There is much to worry
about these beautiful October days.

Ed williams, the local heavyweight,
who has been acting as sparring
partner for Savage, wants to branch
out in q big way. Williams said to-
day that he would like to get New
York manager, and I gave him the
address Of Jimmy Johnston, who has
Kid Boonton and Eddie Nugent, the
Jersey boys, in his stable of fighters.
Johnston is also manager of Madison
Square Garden, and he seems to be
a desirable fellow in every way. Will
Jams, who used to box under the
name of Sharl<ey Williams, talked
about the "late" Savage Weinert
bout He said Jim was in great shape
and would have beaten Weinert Will
Jams will visit Manager Johnston's
offices in New York some time today.
@
Savage, by the way, is going to
stick to his training and try and
make a name for himself. He was
fortunate in one way, but luck broke
against him in another way Man
ager Woodruff signed articles yes
terday afternoon for Jim to meet
Tom McCarty, a brother ofA the
lamented Luther McCarty, at the
Irving A. c., of Brooklyn. but the
Boxing Commission has suspended
the club indefinitely. However, the
bout with McCarty will be held at
the Vanderbilt Club next Saturday
night. This will give Savage a chance
to show himself.

| A correspondent puts all the blame
on Percy Woodruff for the Savage
weinert fake" talk. He says;
| j. p. N:
1
to the Weinert-Savage fake talk
| look to you, j. p. N, to censure al
| the parties concerned, and not play
favorites. Many readers will agree
with me that the man who is really
to blame is Mr.. Percy Woodruff. He
is guilty, because he started this
fake" If he couldn't get Weinert tc
| fight, he had no business to persuade
him with fake" conditions and show
| his meanness by later double cross.
ing His (Woodruff'e) arguments oil
reasons give him no excuse for in
stigating fake" / hope you will
confine your censure of Weinert il
accordance with Weinert's actions
and not allow your opinion of hi.
manager to have any bearing in thil
matter. You must give Weiner
credit for exposing the fake" al
though he was willing party.
Again, J. p. N, | look to you t
hiring the guilty parties to task.
