ting ought to favor Dillon, it may
be that Weinert will eventually be
the choice. Pete Curry, of 134 Center
street, Orange, is a warm admirer of
Weinert's. He wants to wager no less
than 81, 900 that Charley will defeat
Jack. Curry called at the Evening
Star office this morning and said he
would like to have the fact made
known that he has $1,000 to bet. He
said he has placed 5000 with a local
sporting man, but, has been unable to
make any more wagers. Now if there
are any sports around who feel like
betting against Weinert they may
call up Curry at Orange fOO4 and he
will Accommodate them.

Oranges will be we'll represented. It
is expected that the bout will draw
well, but the fact that it falls on
election eve may make a difference.
The Weinert-Savage bout drew more
than $4,000, and the promoters ex-

Willie Ritchie is expected to show
the boxing enthusiasts his best form
at, Madison Square Garden tonight.
He has trained hard for his bout with
Johnny Dundee, and a victory is very
likely to mean match with Freddie
Welsh for the lightweight champion
ship. AS boxers go, Ritchie appears
to be a much better boy than Dundee,
and he seems to be the most logical
contender for a fight with Welsh, al
though Charley White must not be
overlooked. On his showing tonight
Ritchie will be judged. If he displays
the class he did when he was the
champion, Dundee will be beaten, and
Willie will also beat Welsh if the
champion should decide to give him
a chance at his title.
G
While on the subject of Freddie
Welsh's title, Harry Pollok, the
champions manager. seems to have
hit on novel manner for securing an
opponent for Welsh. We will allow
Mr.. Pollok to explain in his own Ian
guage:
New York City, Oct. 20.
j. p. N:
Freddie Welsh is now ready to make
the first of the four championship
matches which he intends to box this
season. Who shall be his first oppo-
nent? He intends to leave this mat
ter to the press of the country, sc
he cannot ever be accused of picking
out, as a starter, the softest of the
four best lightweights. Will you
please oblige by designating your
choice.
AS soon as it is settled whom he
shall first box he will sign articles o1
agreement calling for a championship
contest, and then it will be up to the
clubs which can stage championship
matches to bid for the bout. The
highest bidder will get it. If Welsh
wins this contest he will be ready tc
make another match with the mex
contender for the lightweight title to
box another championship bout with

That's fair enough, isn't it?
Who shall be the first one up?
Very truly,
HARRY POLLOK.

The best of these are Willie Ritchie
