We're giving away a lot of weight TO
two pretty good boys and they
didn't want to take the chance.

Tom Messenger, Weinert's manager,
was disappointed when Billy Gibson,
the manager of the Stadium, told him
that the bout was off. Messenger in
formed Gibson that Weinert would
box any man that Billy could secure,
tut Gibson, so far has been unable to
get an opponent for Weinert He will
know sure some time today. Messen-
ser particularly anxious TO have
Weinert fight at this time for the sim
pie reason that the kid has been work
ing faithfully for three weeks and is
IN good condition. He is getting big
ger and stronger every day, and while
he is only eighteen years old he has
many OF the developments OF a full
hedged man. In fact, Gus TroxIer,
VINO is an expert on physical culture,
told me personally that Weinert was
one of the most perfectly built young
men it had ever been his pleasure to
observe. TroXier declared he was
built on lines for speed and with it
he showed great strength develop
ment. He also has a great jaw for a
fighter and his long legs never seem
to tire. With his cleverness and his
other assets, Weinert should come to
the front in the heavyweight class.
G.
When the Gibbons brothers flunked
Weinert and Howard might have had
date at the Broadway Sporting
Club, but Dan Morgan, Howard's
manager, said Nothing DOING. This
information comes from Jack Dough-
erty, manager of Al Mccoy, the<latest
sensation, and Johnny Dunn, tile an
nouncer at the Sporting Club. Nor
gan was told, Dougherty and Dunn
say, that he could have the Tuesday
date for Howard with Weinert as
his opponent, but Dan said he would
rather wait for Mike Gibbons. Vein
ert would be only too willing to fight
Howard, but Morgan appears to know
best. .=.###44=

Jim Corey, in knocking out Jim
Flynn in four rounds last night. in
creased his reputation previous to his
trip abroad for his fight with Bonn
bardier Wells but to many it looked
as If Flynn had an eye open when
he took the count of ten. The Coff. v
Flynn contest was the star bout OF the
opening show of the Stadium A. c.,
of which B lily Gibson is in control
A fairly large crowd turn ed OFT to
see the scrap, and Coffey's victory
was well applauded.

Dave Kurtz, with record list as
long as your arm, writes that he is in
great shape for his bout with AL Brit
ton, billed for Gus Troxler's Central
Institute Monday night. Kurtz also
says that he would like to get another
| chance at AL Mccoy the new middle
! weight champion. although in their
last battle Dave was given pretty
healthy beaten. However, that isfup
| to Kurtz and others should worry
over Dawes pain.

| Now that the baseball players have
a union of their own with which to
make the magnates mind, the mag
mates feel that the union should do
something to make the PLAYERS be-
have. The question of discipline has

vanced that the fraternity should see
| to it that the players obey orders
That is no more than right. rho
| fraternity was organized for the ex-
| press purpose of seeing that the
rights of the players were observed
and to be strictly fair the fraternity
will have to see that the rights of
the owners are respected.

Do the amateur and novice riders
pay any fee? Can a novice rider
| take a man up to the track for the
purpose of starting him? When one
wins a novice prize must he ride with
the amateurs or can he continue with
the noVices? COME BACK.
Yep, they pay fifty cents. and even
then Manager MacFarland can't
keep 'em out. When you win now
ice prize, my boy. you're no longer
a novice, although you may still be
an amateur.

What is the premium of a dime of

open now? Is young man who
Joined the navy month ago on a
ship now? A. o.
There is no premium listed on your
coin. The aquarium is open daily. 1t
all depends whether he has been as
signed to a ship yet. He may be as
signed to the navy yards.
