G
Charley Weinert is all ''primped
mp for his fight tonight with Billy
Maxwell, of Philadelphia, before the
Broadway Sporting Club, of Brook
Ign. Charley has visited all the late
hour cafes showing himself ever
since he stopped his old rival, Johnny
Howard, and now all he needs is a
haircut and shave to prepare him
self for fighters of The Maxwell type.
Weinert has had sufficient training,
his friends say, to beat Maxwell, and
what's the use of Charley working
hard when victory comes so easy
@
Weinert has several fights in sight,
as swiftly and as artistically as pos
sible. He is in the public eye now,
and every move he makes will be
watched. He is fine prospect for a
heavyweight champion, and he may
be the king of the ring some day.
He is clever, and he is learning to
punch harder every day If he ever
develops a real hard clout he will
beat all the champions in his
wake without half trying. Weinert
will likely be matched against Bat
Ting Levinsky if he makes a favor
able showing tonight. He can also
have a match with Sailor Fritz, but
he doesn't seem to be anxious for the
bout. He would take chance and
box Gunboat Smith, but the Gunboat
wants $4,000 to meet Weinert. Charley
undoubtedly thinks that Smiths de-
mands are outlandish, yet he himself
is said to have asked $1,000 to meet
Jim Savage. For some reason or
other Weinert doesn't want to fight
Savage. yet he would get more money
in a bout with Jim than he will get
for two or three of the matches he is
now taking on. He got only $3.50 for
whipping Howard. and he may not
receive much more for meeting Max
well. Savage is anxious to fight, but
Weinert takes to the mountains every
time Jim talks of match.
o
Word comes to me that Jimmy Nc
Weigh never said that he wouldn't
would first fight Joe Cassidy. I
thought as much. McVeigh is not
that kind of a fellow, but he is handi-
capped by having around him persons
who presume to talk for Jimmy,
though without authority to do so.
McVeigh, by the way, is not taking a
bat of credit away from Banty Lewis
for his clean-cut, well-won victory.
McVeigh says he was beaten fairly
and squarely and freely confesses that
Lewis was the better man that par
ticular night. He says, though, that
he feels as if he could whip Banty ia
a return engagement, but he don't in
tend to box again for some time. He
Is a popular fellow and has a tremen-
dous following, and he is going to take
his time before entering the ring
again, in order to give his friends a
fair run for their money.
O.
The decisive defeat has given Nc
Weigh setback, but he hasn't lost
any prestige among his close follow
