Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-09-28

/
man with Bill MoKinnon, the New
England heavyweight, who is train
ing Frank Moran for his fight with
Jim Coffey. Weinert and MoKinnor
will clash In New Haven on either
October IS OF the 21st, the date to be
| decided upon later. MoKinnon is 9
pretty fair boxer, but he will not be
fast enough or clever enough fol
Weinert. Since the Savage bout
Weinert has been having a delight
full time with himself, but Manager
BuIger said today that Charley would
get right down to business now that
| he has a match on. Weinert is grow
ing and he will be big fellow some
day. He is too full of life to put in a
cage, but he needs a lion tanner within
easy reach of him at times. His fu-
ture is before him, as the wise man
said, and he can mako himself or
break himself just as he sees At.

The Jim savage-Jacll Dillon fight
will positively be held at Ebbets
Field next Friday night This infor-
nation was 'phoned me by John P.
Dunn, general manager for John
weismantel, the Brooklyn promoter,
today. Dunn said there was some talk
about the weather being disagreeable
for open-air shows, but he decided
his boss felt certain the match would
draw well, In that It would be held
the night before the big auto race,
and thousands of strangers would be
In the city. Savage should be f1t for
| the battle. for word comes from his
baliwick that he has been doing more
or less training ever since his bout
with Weinert With Dillon as an op-
ponent Savage will have to be fast,
Jack is a rough fellow, but IL Jim Is
able to stand his rushes off for
few rounds he will find Dillon rather
easy to locate.
o
Friends Of Savage in the Oranges
say that Jim will have to make good
against Dillon IL he hopes to maintain
any prestige at all. His defeat at the
hands Of Weinert was terrible blow
to his following, especially as Jim
told everybody he knew that he would
win and win sure. In the light or
that confidence, his poor exhibition
against his clever opponent didn't set
we'll at all on the stomachs OF his
hackers. Many of them f1opped to
Weinert after the fight and have been
sounding tho kids praises ever since,
@
The sports throughout tho Oranges
are particularly enthusiastic and they
invariably back their opinion with
their hard-earned spondulix. They
thought we'll OF Savage and they bet
on him, and naturally they were dis
appointed at his efforts. But Savage
must be given credit for one thing.
He is game and ambitious. He didn't
sit down and weep over his defeat,
but Is taking a big chance against
Dillon to come back and show his
friends he is not a dead one" If
whipped again. of course he cannot
hope for recognition. He feels that
he has O good chance with Dillon
and he knows victory will mean
new enthusiasm and perhaps another
match with Weinert.

Jack Coyne and Paul Freda have
been offered tho semi-flnal to the
Willie Ritchis-J ohnny Dundee bout,
which is to be staged at Madison
Square Garden on Thursday, October
Y. It is up to them to accept the
match today or hereafter stop their
bellyaching about wanting to get at
one another. Bill Wellman says that
tho Coyne-Freda bout is worth $3.50
to him-s75 to each man-and II the
fighters are satisfied with those in
ducements they can consider them
selves engaged. Coyne, It is said, is
willing to box for s75. but Freda has
an idea that he is worth more. Paul
did say, though, that he would fight
Coyne for nothing, and 1t Is likely he
will not turn down the s75. The match
should be an interesting one, for the
boys are certainly sore on one an
other They live in the same neigh
borhood and there is much jealousy
between them. Freda is outspoken
in his opinion OF Coyne. but Jack is
rather conservative when discussing
Paul as fighter. A pretty good
Judge who has seen both boys per-
form figures that Freda will best
Coyne, who ia more OF a boxer than
a fighter. That, however remains to
be seen.
Joe Cassidy, the local boy, who is
the chief sparring partner of Willie
| Ritchie, has a high opinion of the
former champion and thinks that
Willie will defeat Johnny Dundee in
their bout next week. Ritchie, ac-
| cording to Cassidy, is working hard
with speed his main object. Willie
! will make the weight of 1876 pounds
easily enough, Cassidy says. and he
will be good and strong, too. Joe
will be one of Ritchie's seconds on
fight night, for Ritchie has taken a
great liking to Cassidy, though you
wouldn't think so II you could get a
glimpse at Joe's face. His nose is
split and his lips are bruised, but he
says: That's all right. Willie is a
good fellow and he doesn't mean It
when he roughs me around some
time" Cassidy, by the way, is hot
IN the trail of Covne and Freda He
