looked as il lie was going to end the
fray. As a starter he landed a half
dozen stiff lefts 10 the face and
bested Johnny in a mix-up. He made
Howard miss repeatedly, and he
planted left after left to Johnny's
face. Just before the bell, after Civ
ing Howard real good licking,
Weinert sent a terrific left TO the
mouth that hurt. II was all Weinert,
and he was in the lead by wide
margin
G
Weinert was anxious for action
when he came out IN the fourth
round, and he sent a right to How
ards face and followed it with a
left to the same place. Howard did
some smuggling in this round, but
Weinert did the better work all told.
Howard carried off the fifth round,
principally because he landed a hard
left. followed by an equally hard
right and left just before the bell
rang. The blows reached Weinert's
jaw and although apparently having
great force behind them, didn't even
seem to jar Weinert, who went to his
corner as strong as ever. The sixth
round was slow and both did lot of
resting Howard who had been very
aggressive up to this period, seemed
willing to take it easy and Weinert,
apparently, had no objection. What
little fighting that was done was in
favor of Howard lie did some good
work in the clinches, while Weinert
now and then sent ont his long left
to the face.

When Howard forced the milling
in the seventh round and showed the
way it began to look blue for Wei
merit. who, during the last three
rounds, had been doing lot of
clinohing and seemed to be slowing
up. Whenever he fought, however,
he appeared to be strong, but he
allowed Howard to do most of the
milling. During the latter part of the
round the boys mixed it up. and
they were going so fast that they
failed to hear the clang of the bell,
and Howard landed a stiff left to
Weinert's mouth after the bell had
sounded. A right half-arm upper cut
during this round helped to win the
honors for the Bayonne boy
C
Nettled at being bested for three
consecutive rounds, weinert set out
10 take a hand in the glory stuff
himself. He jabbed his left to How
ards face and both slugged in
mix-up. Weinert fought hard in
this session and Howard had to put
on extra steam to keep up with him.
1t was a hard round on both men
and IL would be difficult to say who
had the call. Both were tired. The
gang" was at it strong in this round
and shouted for Howard Justify The
reason was very apparent. Weinert,
after three poor rounds, came back
and held his own. That didn't set
we'll so therefore the boisterous
demonstration, which was entirely
out of order. 1t showed plainly the
method, for the yelling was not any
where near so loud and long in the
rounds in which Howard was hav-
ing the better of the milling.
g
Although Weinert surely led in the
ninth round. the gang" again made
its presence felt by it's cheers for
Howard Charley sent a stiff left to
the face and he later landed right
hand uppercut to the chin. He also
sent the left to the body and a left
to the face. Howard during the
olinches landed some short-arm
blows, but Weinert was beginning to
learn how to avoid the blows. 1t was
Weinert's round safe and he was
strong and willing. He did some
ard, and couldn't do much as a gem
eral thing when on the defensive,
G
Howard came out in the tenth
round to make a Garrison finish, but
Weinert upset his calculations. As
Howard led, Weinert hooked his left
to the face and put a left soaker to
the body, He sent an uppercut to
the body ana repeated it and fol-
lowed with a left to the face He
jabbed Howard again and again and
he planted hard right on the jaw
that didn't do Johnny a bit of good.
The blow stung and Howard made n
desperate attempt at a rally. He did
but Weinert rushed him up against
the ropes and put him on the de-
fensive. He hooked the left to How
ards head and left to the body
made Johnny double up. Weinert
did nearly all the fighting in this
round, but just after the bell sounded
Howard put left lab TO Weinert's
face.
Discussions are sure 10 arise as TO
who had the better of the bout. To
my way of thinking there wasn't
much between them, but that much
was in favor of Weinert. He is a
better boxer than Howard and he is
a better fighter than Howard. but it
might be added that he isn't as smart
a fellow as Howard, who. through
much experience, has learned a lot
of clever stuff that is not picked up
in a minute-or a year. either AS
