WE|NERT NOW IN
MONTE|TH'S CARE
Manager of Johnny Dundee Will
Look After Local Heavy
weights Affairs Hereafter.
WESTERN TRIP PLANNED

Charley Weinert, the local heavy
weight. announced in Madison Square
Garden last night, while attending
the bout between Jim Coffey and
Frank Moran, that he had severed
connections with Jack Bulger, his
manager. and had obtained Seotty
Monteith, manager of Johnny Dundee,
to look after his interests in the ring
Weinert says he leaves Bulger be-
cause he believes that with Monteith
as his chief adviser he will be able to
obtain more matches. and that he will
have a much better chance of reach
ing the highest pinnacle in the heavy
weight division.
My grievances with Bulger are Of
a personal nature" said Weinert,
and, although he has treated me
fairly in a number of ways, | am
forced to release him for other rea-
sons"
Weinert met Bulger in the Garden
last night, and told Jack that he was
through. Bulger naturally did not
believe him, as Charley had on a
number of other occasions predicted
the retirement of Jack. Over the
phone today, however. Bulger said
that he and Weinert were through.
"Bulger arranged my match with
Jim Savage at the Pioneer Sporting
Club, New York" stated the Newark
heavyweight, "and he will be given
his percentage from that bout. Any
other bouts he arranges | viii not
take, as Monteith Is now my man
ager. | am to meet Savage on the
night of January 26, after which
contemplate a trip West with Dun
dee to tackle the game out there
When | return l hope to be able to
challenge Jess Willard for the cham
pionship.
whether l will fight before l meet
Savage is entirely up to the boxing
commission. ! had talk with Chalr-
man Fred Wenck, and he intimated
that we could probably reach an
a agreement at next Monday after
noon's meeting, whereby l could be
matched 10 box an opponent before
meeting Savage on January 26. This
Is also satisfactory to Charley Does
sereck. matchmaker of the Pioneer
club. who does not care how many
matches l indulge in as long as /
anpear at his club on the night Oh
January 26 against Savage. | VIII
begin training this afternoon at IroN-
ler's gymnasium, in preparation Ior
bouts' which will be a plenty, in the
near future" ,..
Weinert, in his own mind, believes
it is to his advantage that ne mas
cast his lot with another manager.
II can be said, however, that 1t was
Rulpor who first brought him out pe-
fore the public and got hlm Dig
matches and big money. 1t is nn-
derstood that If Bulger is left out IN
the cold he will endeavor to brlng
forth some grievances against Weln-
ert. which may in time be detrlmenla,
TO the latter's future in the squareo
circle. However, matters as tney
stand now have Weinert out or Bulr
gers charge, with the exception oi
Tho match with Savage, and Scotty
Monteith in charge.
Nonteith is also the manager OF
Tommy Dundee, who is q contender
for the lightweight title held by
Freddie Welsh, and who is incidently
matched to meet Welsh in a ten"
round bout at the Seventy-first Regi-
ment Armory, New York, next Thurs
day night Monteith was also inter-
ested in the Pioneer Club, but he an
nounced yesterday that he is no
longer connected with that club. as
he has sold out his holdings to Does
sereck.
The state Boxing Commission, at
meeting held yesterday afternoon. re-
fused to alter it's decision in which
Weinert and Savage were fined $25O
each for failing to post a forfeit for
their bout which was to have taken
place at the Pioneer Club on Decem-
her 30 last. The commission ruled that
the men will have to box at the Pio-
neer Club before they can appear at
anv other club. The commission set
January 15 as the night on which the
contest should be decided, but Mar
tin Julian. Savages manager, said
that his protege could not get into
proper shape until January 26.
Charley Weinert and Jack Bulger
were on hand, while Martin Julian
represented Savage, who is still sick.
The boxers will pay their fine out of
the money they receive on the night
of the battle.
