lively, positively matched. And
now they're not. What a void!
what a woild!!
And now for our own heavyweights,
at least the two champions that we
are to borrow from New Jersey for
this nights entertainment at the Pho
neer Sporting Club. The honor and
glory of New Jersey will hang in the
balance over Manhattal Isle this very
night, when Jim Savage and Charley
Wenert meet. Waiting at the depot
in Orange for a signal, much like the
old gink did in the bell-tower when he
was looking for the nod from Tawm
jefferson, will be Jim Savages old
man, with a band of thirty trick
pieces. If Jim wins the band will play
"When Jimmy Comes Marching Home"
with varied variations. Should Jim
meet defeat face to face, old man Saw
age will wave the members of the
band 10 their homes and remain on
duty to welcome his battered son home
with a Chinese gong. II had been
Pa Savage's idea to retain lone oboe
player to play a ghostly solo. but that
plan has been done away with. Jim
will be met by farther and the gong
if he falls before the Newark "beaut"
tonight Hold 'om, jim! A Chinese
gong solo is horrible thing.
That Phil Bloom-Johnny Dundee
feud is getting TO be nightly affair.
Sporting Club the pair meet for the
third time. They are so evenly
matched that any time they fight it is
a fight.
Sam McVey hit one Of his sparring
partners on the head so hard that IL
sent his good left hand TO the drydocks
for repairs. Sam was TO have fought
Jawn Lestuh Johnson on New Years
afternoon at the Fairmont. Wild Burt
Kenny and Jack Dillon have been sub
stituted. Considerable switch. Wild
Burt has got everything but the dino
saurus skins and stone Ratchet. Let the
customers rest easy. They'll see fight.
John Packey Dunn, the platinum
throated spellbinder Of the Broadway
Sporting Club, steps boldly into the
sanctum, shoves F. P. A. and his hand
full Of stint" aside and says: Hold
on 10 your seats, everybody who comes
TO our fight palace on New Years Day.
AL Mccoy has promised Mr.. Weisman-
tel and your humble servant that he
will make the fight with Ahearn the
star exhibition Of his life"
Mccoy" continues John Patrick, ais
nettled because nobody believes that
he is the real middleweight champion
Of the world. II Mr.. Darcy, Of Austria
liza, should visit our hospitable shores
Mccoy wants to meet him, and he
knows that he will never be enter
tanned unless he DOES something.
That's what we told the boy, and he
has given his hand on it that he will
make Aheern bite the dust in true
movie fashion on New Years Day"
Jake Ahearn will train for his fight
with Mike Gibbons at Excelsior Springs,
Mo. Fireman Jim Flynn will take John
Bulls boy in hand and send him TO the
scratch in the best condition OF his
life. He will leave the moment the
fight with Mccoy becomes ring history.
Harry Pollok has roped Lew Bodie.
Lew is the big miner that Henry Irslin-
ger discovered out in Montana. Henry
did the exploring and Pollok the soft
eoaping.
RE talked so we'll by mail and wire
that the new giant Of the ring was
won over. He is taller and has longer
reach that Jess Willard. Bodie goes
skyward some 6 feet ga inches. His
reach is IS inches, which is 2 more
than Willard's. In fighting condition
he weighs els Ho has had nine pro
fessional bouts, winning six OF them
with knockouts. His most important
contest was ten-round draw with
Tommy McCArty. Pollok wants TO
match him with. AL Reich.
