Broad A. C. last night. several times
on the verge OF a. knockout several times
during the contest.
Only by clinching did weinert save
himself from taking the full count, and
Referee Sam Lewis was very lenient to
the Newarker. permitting him to hug
constantly. Weinert also hit low with
great frequency, and was not even eau
toned.
on the other hand Miske was warned
and cautioned at frequent intervals for
offenses that were not observable TO
those at the ring side.
Miske's attack puzzled Weinert, who
sought to make IL boxing match.
Miske bored in after the fashion of the
worlds champion and clouted Weinert
with heavy left hooks and crashing
rights that soon took all the steam out
of the Newark man and compelled him
to devote all his time to hugging and
clinching.
This defeat, following the drubbing
Weinert received from Greb. puts the
Adonis out Of the running.
