Charlie Weiucrt is about to step
into the fistic limelight and the
squared circle itself in 11 few hours
to try conclusions with Harry Wills.
Off hand one can‘t go temporarily
insane and forget homo and mother
and start hot~footing it for the scene
of the conflict-
For Charlie Weincrt has never
climbed to the eighteenth story of
fame in the fight game. And Harry
Wills has pushed himself to the
front by means of a good manager
and much talk rather than heroic
deeds with the gloves against first
class men.
And any belief that the bout will
have much effect on Jack Dempscy's
future plans is the bunk.
But despite any possible support
from these angles the melee looms
as an interesting one from several
angles.
Those present will see a rciuvc~
natcd Charlie Weincrtwone to re-
mind them of the Charlie Weinert
of his youth—11nd the hectic days of
the white hopes.
For two or three years preceding
.the defeat of Jack Johnson at the
hands of Jess Willard in 1915 the
woods were full of white hopes seek-
ing a. place in the boxing sun. White
hopes were discovered in every con-
ceivable place front the drawing-
room to tho barroom.
And fighting for his share of the
spotlight was Charlie Weinert. He.
got some place in that mesa. For
a time he seemed destined to win

gave them all a. good run for their
money.. He suffered only one knock~
out up to loll—that at the hands of
Dillon. And one must remember
that knockouts were as plentiful
those days as dancing acts are these
days. '
But Charlie found success too eas-
ily. It wont to his head. It. has
been chronicled often how. having
drawn the plaudits of the .well
known “and sometimes gullible mul-
titude in the ring. he sought to bash
in the limelight of fame 0' nights.
He hit. the high spots. The world
was I toy for him. Planting be-
came. then. simply a routine matter.
He wanted the fights to earn more
dough to make the world go round.
A couple of years ago he found
himself forced to plan his future
anew. Ills fame was gone. So was
his dough. He took the right way
back.
The middle of last year he got
his first real chance. A trial horse

ert begged for tho bout—and got it.

(Copyright, 1925.)
NEW YORK. May 22.—The last
third of'May brings realization to
two American League Clubs that
their 1925 sun has almost. if not
wholly. set.
Detroit can practically be counted
out of the pennant race. If Ty Cobb
has enough mganetism and enough
generalship about him, to bring his
players out of their present Ilump to
some fair point in the race where
they can look forward to being in
the "one. two, three" rating. he will
have achieved a task little short of
the baseball miracle by which
George Stallings roused the Boston
Nationals in 1914 and piloted them
from last place in July to a cham-
pionship in. October. That was I.
display of sheer playing nerve that
has not been seen before nor since.
'Mllle'r Huggins of the New York
Yankees has a little easier‘taak. He
has less percentage against him. and
the return of Babe Ruth to‘the‘lines
up in the next week or two should
help the club’s merale But Huggine
has a task ahead of him about II big
as any he has tackled since he be-
gan managing the Yankees.
Never has Ty Cobb got such a gen-
eral all-round walloping so early in
the season As he has received this
year. Usually. if one section of the
league made life a burden for him.
the other was meat on which he re-
covered with his team some of the
advantage Detroit has lost. But this
year he has been banged right and
left by both the Western and the
Eastern sections of the league. and
the Tigers. are . the 1vorat»qud-up
managerie they have been lntheir
history. To think of. them II tali-
enders is difficult. but it mutt be
done. for that is where they“ may

tion at this time of year. and while
it may not be impossible. it is highly
improbable that they will be able
to overcome such a. handicap. '
The one great help that could
come to both Detroit and New York
would be I. prolonged and saddening
slump on the part of the present
leaders in the race. It would. how-
ever. have to be a terrible slump to
make up to the Tigers and the
Yanks their long downward slide.
And two such deviations from form
should occur in one season. affect-
ing first the teams that were thought
to be the probable leaders. and then
the teams that are the actual lead-
ers. would be something baseball
hasn't seen since the nineties. when
the teams'in the old National Leag-
ue went up and down in the stand.

not equal the record of 59 made by
Babe Ruth. or the 55 held by the
awaiting cowboy. Kraft of Fort
Worth. but if he can hold the pace
ho is setting now. he will put both
those figures behind him before the
season is over.
Considering the length of time he
has been hammering the Interna-
tional League pitchers. he had bat.
ted harder than the Bambino at. his
beat. He has thirteen so for. an
average of half a home run per
game and that, if he could carry on
throughout the season. would mean
better than 80 homers.
