Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1916-01-22

Billy Kelly, the local sporting man
in discussing the probable outcome
of the fight next Wednesday night
at the Pioneer Sporting Club, in New
York, said that he would like to BET
a little to 5 that Weinert would
win. Kelly says that Weinert is toe
clever for Savage and he also added
that Charley would be a match fol-
the best of them if he would train
properly for his bouts. AS to training
Weinert is working faithfully for the
Savage bout. He is doing his boxing
at the National Turner'S and he is
doing his road work in Branch Brook
Park. He looks to be in good con-
dition even now and he ought to be
in great shape on fight night. Savage
is also training hard, but it is said
that Jim doesn't look any too well
He apparently feels all right, though
and goes through his boxing stunts
every afternoon at the Orange Ar
mory in very clever style.

After wrangling for days, Billy
Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard
won his point in the proposed match
between Leonard and Joe Rivers
scheduled for the Harlem Sporting
Club on February d. Gibson wired
Packy Mcfarland that Rivers would
have to weigh 1876 pounds ringside or
the bout would be declared off. Nc
Farland, who is handling Gibson's
end of the bout in the West, tele-
graphed Gibson that the Mexican has
consented to make the stipulated
weight and that Rivers will post q
forfeit to that effect. Gibson says
that Leonard will start his prepara.
tory work on Monday. Billy feels
confident that Benny will dispose ot
the Californian. He called the turn
on Leonard, when Benny knocked
out Joe Mandot, and now that the
Leonard Rivers bout is assured
Billy is making prediction that
Leonard will do the same thing tc
Rivers. Joe has fought in New York
three times. He beat Leach Cross
twice and Johnny Harvey once
Rivers is the hardest hitter Leonard
ever tackled The Mexican has q
powerful left-hand jab and a splen-
did right swing. The fight should be
good one.
