Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-10-31

have seen him look in years, called
at the Evening Star Office yesterday
to pay his respects to Charley Wei
merit, who, Savage says, doesn't want
any part of his game. Jim is much
pleased with his condition, and he
said it was the disappointment of his
life when his bout with Weinert was
called off by the Olympic Club.
Savage says he doesn't want to talk
about another man in his profession,
but he felt, by the way Weinert has
acted, that he has a bad case of ''cold
feet" Jim would like nothing better
than to meet weinert, but he says he
feels that this will never come about,
because OF weinert's fear of being
beaten. There should be some way
to bring Savage and Weinert together.
There is a big demand for the bout.
Up IN the Oranges a match between
these men is all the talk, and the
Evening stars, with all the live and
latest gossip about the men, sell like
hot cakes among the natives.
O.
And there is a way to bring Savage
and weinert together in the ring.
Percy Woodruff has the scheme 1t
was Woodruff who brought the match
about in the first place, but in doing
so he pulled what is known in the
sporting vernacuiar as a "bloomer."
Weinert refused absolutely to meet
Savage on the level, so Woodruff told
him that Savage would agree to box
ten easy rounds with him. Weinert
jumped at the proposition and the
match was made. But Weinert, fear
Ing that Woodruff might put some-
thing over on him, came down to the
Evening Star office and exposed tho
fake. Manager Wood, of the Olympic
Club, declared the fight off instanter,
and ever since there has been a crav-
ing for the bout. 1t may come to pass
and It will come to pass If Weinert
is willing TO fight.
@
Woodruff is doing business for
Savage, and he says that when he
made the proposition to Weinert he
told Jim all about it. though he has
been quoted as saying otherwise.
Then, too, Savage said yesterday
that Percy had told him how he
had promised Weinert that Jim
would go easy with him, but it was
also understood between Woodruff
and Savage that Jim was TO fight on
the level and would win with one
punch IL he could. Now Woodruff
wants to go on with the match, and
he puts it right UP TO Weinert and
TO tho Olympic Club. He says:
81 will match Savage against Wei
merit, the fight to take place at the
Olympic A. C. on Thanksgiving Day
afternoon, and I will bet him $1,000
on the side. This bet is to hinge on
decisive result to the bout. That Is,
one man or the other must acknowi-
edge defeat before the end of the
stipulated ten rounds. If Welnert
really means business and Manager
Wood will give us the Thanksgiving
Day date, I will guarantee him to fill
his clubhouse from end to end and
promise him the best fight he has ever
seen. Savage is ready and willing to
meet weinert. but feel certain that
Charley will run up in the mountains
among the cow bulls and the pump
kins, IL the olympic Club decides to
give US the date"
o
Savage fights Tom McCarty at
Browns gym in New York next
Wednesday night. We will see how
Jim performs in that bout before we
will urge a bout between him and
welnert at the Olympic Club. If
Savage shows that he is still a good
man there is no good reason why
Manager Wood should not put the
match on. The fake arrangement
was only a ruse to get Weinert to
meet Savage and there was no inten-
ton of taking In the ring. Savage
would have fought on the level and
so would Weinert, and neither OF
them, in my opinion. had any other
intention. The affair has been salts
factorily explained and IL tho men
clash they will draw tremendous
crowd and stir up lot of interest
C.
Banty Lewis came to the Evening
Star office purposely this morning
to deny the fake interview crediting
him with saying that he was salts
fed that he had been beaten. Lewis
declared he felt sure that he had
won and he was very bitter over
the fake interview, which made him
say that he didn't have any aIibis
coming. Lewis says he won and won
handily and he was surprised that
anyone should say otherwise. How
ever. 1t is an old trick to quote or
misquote persons in order to make
the public believe that even the man
who was robbed confessed he en-
joyed his losses. Lewis said he had
never for a moment admitted his
defeat and that he was not even In
terviewed en- the subject. These
fake interviews have been numerous
in other sports. Jackie Clark, the
cyclist, has complained time and
time again that his name was used
without authority and that he was
made a goat" Of Lewis now comes
forward and makes the same kick.
1t shows signs of weakness and an
