Wills vs. Weinert. The faces of betrayed men and of women who have died by violence wear, almost invariably, the same expression-one of weariness. That was the look upon the face of Charles Weinert, once known as the Newark Adonis, as he stretched out his gloves to touch those of black Harry Wills. That was the look upon his face a few minutes later, when he was helped to his corner, vomiting dreadfully, after having been knocked out in the second round of a bout which proved 1) that Wills is still the foremost challenger for Dempsey...

Last week he disposed of Joe Burke, of Detroit, in two rounds at Grand Rapids. He fights Charlie Weinert in Philadelphia, Aug. 13. Meanwhile he is on an exhibition tour...
