Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-01-12

take the shifty Gibbons much of his
time keeping out of harms way.
Gibbons has a good hard punch.
which should prove a valuable asset,
but he will have to fool McAllister
whole lot to get his right over on
the jaw. Besides, McAllister can
take punch, and Gibbons, I fear,
cannot. So McAllister, to me, looks
fore, the fight should be a wonder,
but it may be one of those scientific
] boomers.

As an attraction, the Garden
should be taxed with fight bugs.
From what l can hear all the sports
in Newark will be over there. It
has been a long time since I have
had so many phone calls and per-
sonal requests for tickets for the
show. The hope is that the specta-
tors will come away pleased-pleased
like they were after the McAllister-
Levinsky bout

Dave Cook, manager of Roy Kenny,
who fights Charley Weinert at
Browns Gym, tomorrow night, armed
with reports of his mans numer-
GUS battles in the West, paid a visit
to the Evening Star office on Satur-
day afternoon, Mr.. Cook has a high
regard for the ability of Weinert, but
he says that Kenny, who is clever,
will outpoint him. Roy by the way,
is a brother of that old warhorse,
Frank Kenny, who defeated Young
Kurtz at Paddy McGuigan's three
years ago Roy is much cleverer
fellow than Frank, Manager Cook
says, and he can hit, too, and he is
very confident that Weinert will be
beaten when the bout is held.
@
Weinert is preparing carefully for
this battle, which he expects to win,
and then he will go right on working
for the fight with George Ashe at the
National Sporting Club on January
20. The Kid is in great shape and il
is difficult for Percy Woodruff to re-
strain him from entertaining. He
has ambition and he has confidence,
he is clever and he is some puncher
1t will take a great man anywhere
near his weight to beat him. He is
worth while watching and following
and a trip to Browns tomorrow is
sure to be well worth the time ano
the trouble. He looks to have in hin
the makings of a champion, but
whether he has or no remains to be
seen by his efforts in the ring

Jim Savage is sick and tired, he
says, at the things that are being
written about him. He called at tht
Evening Star Office Saturday to deny
that Fred Mckay had laid down" tt
him. He also said that the story o.
him being doped In the fight with Kit
Mccoy wasn't so, and he declared
that he knows the man that spread
that yarn. Savage believes he Is 6

not been given credit for his per
formances in the ring. He says he II
willing to meet any heavyweight il
the business, but that none of then
will take him on. He would be will
ing to fight Weinert, he says, but /
the fight is not to be, he would earn
estly request that the controversy!
be dropped.
o.
AS to the controversy, it seems t
be up to Savage and his friends t
stop it, II that is Jims desire Savag
himself opened up the argument. HI
endeavored to disparage Weinert'
ability, and although much bigger an
more experienced he made stron
play to get on bout with the Kio
Manager Woodruff would not liste
to such an arrangement, although
is said that Weinert himself is conf
dent that he can defeat Savage. How
ever, such match is out of the ques
ton when he can secure bouts wit
men like Roy Kenny, George Ash
and Bob McAllister. AS long as Vein
