ears CT Sam Weiss, the philadelphia
Flailer"
1t is the second meeting of the two
light-heavyweights, the first ending un-
satisfactorily for Weiss, Barry and the
fans, when 1t was declared q draw.
Weiss ought to take the Washington
redhead in this. their second meeting.
He has experience, a better weapon in
his right hand and every bit as much
endurance.
Twice in the first meeting OF the pair
the Philadelphia had Barry OH the
spot to put the old tag on him, but
failed to follow up. In the first round
he backed the auburn haired youth into
his own corner and let fly with right
hand that shook Barry from his toes to
his skull. Again in the third he landed
right hook on the redhead'S mouth
that made the gore flow freely.
Patsy Donovan, Barrys manager, Is
authority for the statement the latter
will start coming to Weiss from the
opening gong Cmorrow night. If this is
the case, the battle should be as furi-
GUS as any staged at the popular river
fight club this season. Weiss likes moth
ing better than to have his opponent on
the offensive. That was the way he
licked Pete LatZo at the Mid-City Club
and did it conclusively.
A real Set-to seems assured when Gus
Edwards arrives to do battle with Henry
Irving. Edwards, 1t will be remembered,
gave Billy Schwartz plenty OF trouble
for six rounds when he fought the
Alexandrian recently.
Irving fought his way out of the pre-
