Charley Weinert. of West Orange
didn't add much to his reputation al
a fighter by his showing against Roy
Kenny, of Boston, in their ten-rounc
bout at Bill Browns Gym, in New
York, last night. Weinert won-woT
by a country mile-but his exhibition
wasn't up to the standard by ans
means. That such is the case is moi
entirely the fault of weinert. who did
his best to decisively polish off his
opponent, but the fault of Kenny
who, as a boxer, is about the worst
In the old days and in the new days
have seen boxers of every type, but
never in all my born days have l en-
countered such freak as Roy Kenny
| He is the limit, and his performance
against Weinert is indescribable. He
can neither box nor fight, and he
acted as II he was in a trance most
of the time The poses he assumed at
various times created laughter and
amusement, and his antics throughout
made the contest a Joke. He has
long reach and he can take a pretty
good beating. He can also wallop
some with his right hand, which he
swings from the floor. Otherwise Ken
ny has nothing to recommend him,
and he will probably not be in much
demand around New York in the fu-
ture.
weinert's part in the frosty" bat
tie was not of his own making. He
was willing to fight, willing to mix,
willing, even, at times, to take
desperate chance, against running
into a wild swing from a terrifically
awkward opponent. OF course, there
was a way to fight Kenny and to
beat him, for he tops the batting
order in the Worst Ever League, -
but weinert, who is only a kid,
hasn't had sufficient experience to
solve such a peculiar fellow. For
few rounds Weinert worked a
straight left to the face that seemed
to make Kenny dizzy, but when in
the fourth round Kenny appeared all
in and ready to be beaten then and
there, Weinert forgot all he knew
and fought like a schoolboy. Kenny
was in such bad way that when
Weinert forced him, the Boston man
fell out of the ring, yet Weinert
didn't seem to have the knack to
get to him and beat him when the
chances seemed so rosy. 1t was a
poor exhibition on Weinert's part.
even allowing for Kenny's impos-
sible style of milling.
@
From the fourth round Or, Kenny
staggered and clinched and fell
around the ring, with weinert, all
excited, making frantic efforts to
batter him into submission. Now
and then Kenny would turn, after a
short run around the ring, and swing
his long right hand at weinert's head.
Occasionally he would connect, but
the blow didn't have as much force,
apparently, as 1t seemed to, for not
once did it have the effect of even
making weinert shake his head. Once
or twice after one of these Wild blows,
the Jersey boy would rush at his op-
ponent, only to find himself in a
clinch, with no chance 10 fight at all
Throughout the contest there was lit
tie else but clinching and running
away on Kenny's part, with Weinert
using his left hand entirely to reach
his opponents jaw and body. His
right is in bad shape and he saved II
as much as he could. He might have
been able to use 1t If the milling was
anywhere near evens but the best
judgment he used in the bout was tc
save his right hand.
! O.
| Weinert has one bad fault and h
will have to cure himself of it If h
hopes to become somebody in pugil
ism. He seems to become disguste'
very easily at the failure of his op
ponents to stand UP and fight hin
in the way he Eould like to hav
them do. He showed his displeasur
when he fought Sailor White the sec
ond time. when he fought Tomm,
Madden and last night in his bou
with Kenny he was wild because hi
opponent wouldn't stand up and bat
tie. That is all a mistake. In sue
instances as those mentioned it is u
to Weinert to study out way t
reach his man. He could hav
whipped Kenny to a certainty if h
had kept UP his jabbing tactics. in
stead of shifting to the left hook an
the swing. He worked Kenny dizz
with left ja2bs in four rounds. and h
would have won in the fifth hroun
