Charley Weinert is sure that he will
defeat George Ashe at the National
Sporting Club in New York tomorrow
night, and If he does, Tom O'Rourke,
who is the manager of Ashe as well
as the manager of the club. will give
him a, bout with Bob McAllister who
is sticking around New York in the
hope that he win be able to work his
way to the top in his class. McAllis-
ter's defeat at the hands of Mike
Gibbons was a cruel blow for the
boy, and he is anxious to get some
more work against some good men
to show that he is not bad fighter
at all. Weinert, of course, is ambi-
tious, and If he trims Ashe, which is
likely, he will take McAllister on in
q minute. In such bout there would
be sufficient honor to make the win
ner a desirable fellow among the club
promoters. A victory over Ashe will
| not mean so much, but to give Meal
lister a whipping would place his
name at the top of the light heavy
weights. That's what Weinert is
after--a chance to get to the top. He
may never get there, of course, which
would tickle his enemies, and he may
get there in a hurry, which, needless
to say, would please his friends.

Percy Woodruff tells me that Wei
merit is in great condition for his bout
with Ashe tomorrow night, and that
the Kid will make good in a most
decisive way is Manager woodruff's
prediction.
Charley is sore over that fight
with Roy Kenny" Manager Wood
ruff declared, land he is going into
the ring against Ashe to show that
he has the class and is entitled to
all the nice things you and his friends
have been saying about him. The Kid
doesn't seem able to comprehend.
however, why he should be criticised
for the poor exhibition of his OPP
ponent, but no matter how Ashe
battles, Charley says he will set his
own pace and do the best he can to
beat him. In the fight with Kenny
the Kid didn't want to hit the boob
when he was staggering around the
ring, but from now on he doesn't in
tend to spare anybody, no matter
how brutal it may seem. Weinert
will win over Ashe and then we'll go
after the big game. McAllister will
do for the next trial horse and We
may get Johnny Howard before long"

Talking about Howard, Johnny has
grand chance to get to the top Of
the heap in short order. His decisive
victory over Billy Grupp on Monday
night has won the boy from Bayonne
many admirers, and Red Mcmahon,
who, with his brother Jess, conducts
the Empire A. C. in New York, have
matched Howard to fight the now
famous George Chip on February 8.
1t is a desperate chance, of course,
for Chip is displaying wonderful
fighting powers, yet if Howard man
ages to make respectable showing
against him he will come in for much
attention. To outpoint Chip would be
the making of Howard, who, by the
way, is under the management of
i, Iof,
very well.
g
That Chip has class there isn't any
doubt, although when he beat Frank
Klaus the first time the said VIC
tory was looked upon as a sort of
accident. However, the men met
again and Chip again put over the
tx. o." and still there remained a
doubt in the minds of some of the
experts whether George was really
there or not. All such doubt has been
passed aside, for Chip proved his
right to be classed as champion by
the decisive manner in which he de-
feated Joe Borrell, the Philadelphia
sensation, in Philadelphia on Satur-
day night. Chip whipped Borrell
from the very first punch, and reports
from the encounter contain the infor-
nation that no man ever stood up
under such punishment as did Bor-
rell during the six rounds in which
he faced Chip. Borrell never had a
! ghost of a chance, the reports have
it, but Chip could not put him out.
! After the fight Chip was hailed as
the middleweight champion, and il
looks as if he is entitled to the hon
ors.
C.
Thus it will be seen that Howard
is going up against very stiff propo-
sition, but 1t is worth the while
worth the chance. Johnny will not
have any the worst of the weights
for he weighed 1877 pounds in his fight
with Grupp Monday night, and Chip
it is believed, can make the middle
weight limit Of 1853 pounds. The op.
portunity for Howard to make gooC
and get to the top in hop, step ant
jump is something to be thankful for
His prospects of getting there, o.
course, cannot be said to be very pro
