I In the meantime Weinert has about
been matched to do battle with Gene
Tunney in Jersey on August.7. Also
bout with Tommy Gibbons is in
sight. Well. if Charley Weinert can
earned the right to meet Carpenter.
I in London for a good d-siZed purse.
But aside from these two men Cul-
/ nan wants to hook Weinerr up with
| the winner of the Fred Fulton-Capt..
| Roper embroglio now drawing near.
Have Grudges to Settle. !.
Three fighters have a real grudge
| to settle, according to story now
going around. 1t appears that out
ton and Roper were fighting when
Fred became bit rough ard pushed
the cap'n out of the ring. Roper
hurried back and then insteap of wal
loping the plasterer he picked the
stool out of his corner and beaned
him with it. Fulton went fast to
| sleep and 1t was some time before
he took an interest in his environ
! lnent- Probably in the next fight the
stools VIII be chained to the posts.
Fulton, by the way, is said to be
fighting better than ever in his life
He has overcome a certain timidity
| and mikes it for all he is worth II
| this is true, Fulton will be able to
pick up some money this year
| Those who are counting on a Demp-
sey-Wills fight this year are going
/ to miss out by a mile. Gov. Miller
or New York has no objection to
| mixed bout, but when you analyze
this remark. holding in mind the fact
that there are hundred thousand
! colored voters in New York City
alone. you become not SO. certain that
| Miller's remark was not intended Tor
political consumption.
| In New Jersey Gov Edwards GER
tainly VIII not give permission for
! the bout to be held until after his
hght for the United States senator
ship has been decided. That will be
next year. And as for Toledo, moth
ing would drag Rickard out there
again. Canada. Who can show a
money value in a mixed boat up
| there! So when all's said and done
the bout will be held next year if at
! Do Better Away From Home.
! What do you think the British
| boxing authorities have dug up?
Wen. they have doped it. out that the
trouble with their fighters is that not
| until they get out of their own coun-
! they do their best Then they fight
| like battling whifhsaks and perform
| feats that no one thought them capa-
BILE of doing in their homeland.
| This theory is based; 'on the show
ing OF Danny Frush and Bermondsay
Wells. not to mention Ted Lewis
none OF whom would ever have left
| the ranks OF the mediocre boxers, il
is asserted. unless they had gone TO
foreign fields.
AS to Frush. the Aldegate feather
weight who has been in this couu-
try for some time. the English are
excited over his showing in America
His knockout of Charley Ryder in
Brooklyn is acclaimed as the fourth
victory over a "topnotcher' in a
month. His victory over Andy CLANCY
and Al Schubert are also pointed
| out as testimony to his great i'm
provament since he left England

| OF course, the American fight fan
Will give as the reason for this that
| over here where the going is more
rigorous than in England. foreign
| fighter picks up knowledge he never
would have gained had he remained
at home and, that his experience
| against really classy fighters also
helps. And. OF course, that is the
real up-and-up on the situation.

Britons. No. 1t is pride of race.
When they are out Of their own
country they hold up their heads and
