appeared before the boxing commis-
,ioners Yesterday and pleaded for over
an hour TO have that body lift the ban
on Weinert which prevents him from
boxing for any club in New YORK state
before he appears al the Pioneer sport
ing Club.
Weinert had been billed TO appear at
that club against Jim Savage. At the
eleventh hour Savage got crich m hls
neck and the bout was called OF. me
commissioners we're told that there was
evidence AT hand which showed that
the two men had deliberately hunked
out of the meeting.
Several days ago the commissioners
plastered a fine of $3.50 on each man,
the money 20 be taken from their end
of the receipts when they fulfilled their
obligations with the Pioneer Sporting
Club. \ vote was taken on the Neinert
case and Commissioners Francy and
Dwyer upheld the ruling of Chairman
Wenck.

The usually even-tempered Nike Gl0-
Lons comes forward with an awful roar
about the unkind things that Dan Me
Ketrick has been saying about HIM IN
behalf of Jake Ahearn. who IS on ms
way 20 ST. Paul 20 meet the phantom.
THE reason that McKetrick Is using
such tactics is 20 inspire confidence IN
Ahearn. lie knew ! was really sick

Mike. "Ahearn isn'nt a game fighter.

possible in order TO stay ten rounds. l
hit him with feeler, a punch used 10

but Ahearn took the feeler as cue ana
went down and stayed there. He was
particularly careful not 20 arise before

when Ahearn fought Al Mccoy in New
York and got $500 for his end. which
he had TO split with Mcketrick? Three

Fate seemed 10 be right at Knock
out Browns heels on Thursday night,
when he was knocked out by Banty
Lewis at the Pioneer Sporting Club.
In this very club Brown defeated Ad
Wolgast. then lightweight champion of
the world. The men drew nearly
$4,000 Brown came within an ace of
knocking Wolgast out. \ hard left
swing TO the jaw set Wolgast back on
his heels. almost ready to drop. Brown
backed away. thinking that Wolgast
was playing 'possum. The late Timothy
y. Sullivan, who occupied a box right
over the ring. saw that Wolgast was
helpless, and in order 10 spur Brown 10
action he hurled twisted newspaper
into the ring at Brown. at the same
time yelling for him 20 tear in. By the
time Brown found out that il wasn't
'possum at all Wolgast had recovered
and Browns chance 70 be lightweight
champion Of the world had gone.
He fought Abe Attell there when Abe
was featherweight champion and Brown
had the better of IT, lie ended his
career in the same ring that had been
the scene Of his greatest achievements
