Rutt to go UP to the front and set
some pace" When it came to the
finish, with Grenda out in front, Rutt
set sail for him. Goullet was on the
Big Germans wheel and he beat Rutt
out for second money in the last few
strides. Yes, it was hot old race
and Jackie Clark. who finished
strong, thought there was four-man
combination. He was wrong in this,
and he also pulled Barry at the
finish. Clark might have won the
race if he made an early start. Every
body was pretty tired and Jackie
could have sprinted to the front at a
lap and a half to go. He waited,
however, until it was too late, and
then came very fast in the last
twelfth. 1t was not any combination
that beat Clark. 1t was his own head.

The Bay View wheelmen are going
to conduct boxing bouts at their
clubhouse on South Sixth street. The

Jim Savage has been trying to cor.
ner Charley Weinert and force him
into fight, but the task seems hope
less. Weinert has all but retired.
His butcher shop is a bowling success
and he is doing so well thatihe may
never again look at a boxing glove.
He is a very busy fellow, too. In the
morning he presides over his meat
emporium and in the afternoon he
promenades the prominent thorough
fares of the Oranges. Weinert, it is
said, received his artistic education
| from Savage, and now, 1t is claimed,
Charlie can give Jim cards and
spades at the trade. Another thing,
| Welnert is unkind to Savage. He
won't give him a fight. He says IL
some one comes along and offers him
| thousand dollars for his end he
might consider a proposition for a
battle with Savage, but really he
wouldn't even care to take on the
bout then. On the other hand, Saw
age wants to fight and isn't particular
how large the purse is, but it looks as
If Jim will have to wait for a slump
in the butcher business before Wei
merit will give him tumble.

A match between Banty Lewis and
Kid Boonton is in the wind. Boon
ton still thinks he has a chance with
Lewis, but Banty generally proves
otherwise when the gong sounds.
However, these boys always put up
an exciting battle and the fans turn
out strong to see them go.

New York is beginning to wake up
in a boxing way and it won't be

try are doing business over there.
The Mcmahon brothers, who have
promoted some big fights, are out
early with an announcement that
they will again have the New Star
A. C. and that they will open their
club on October 2. The attraction
will be q big one. for Charley White
who is credited with having out
pointed Willie Richie, the champion
will be one of the Contestants, and
Leach Cross, the fighting dentist, will
be the other. This bout is soon tc
create high excitement, for there :,
a desire in New York to see the mar
who did so well against Champion
Richie. According to present plans
their desires will be gratified on Oc
tober 2.
