nv w. o. McGEEHAN.
Gene Tunney, the young heavy
weight, who took care Of himself,
dropped Charlie weinert, the young
fighter who did not take care of him
self, twice at the end of the third
round at Madison Square Garden last
night. Weinert's seconds signaled
after the bell ended the round that
Weinert was through. Weinert pro-
tested and stumbled back to the center
of the ring when the bell sounded for
the fourth round. Tunney made a few
passes at him and Referee Haukop
stopped the bout as the seconds tossed
in towel.
About seven years ago when Weinert.
the handsome young Hungarian, was
nineteen, he had all the marks of
heavyweight champion and all the
chances to become one. At that time he
wac quite as promising q prospect az
Jack Dempsey was when he first
alighted from the beams on the Jersey
meadows and invaded New York Wein-
ert'B heavyweight championship aspira-
tlons were taken quite eeriously until
lightly.
Last night weinert appeared to be
twenty years older than he did when he
was the boy wonder of Newark. He
fought as though he had accumulated
an even greater number of years. Tun-
ney, who was paved TO pieces by Harry
Greb. looked like q champion by COM
parison.
He looks q rather delicate fighter. this

m ne preliminary Lew Snyder Of
Bayouns eok four round decision over
white Davia Tho boys rot 5ust enough
work 20 keep out the chill In tho next
bout Charley McKenna. protege Of Ike
Dorgan. got the decision over Leo Gates
OF Harlem. This was their second meet
ing. and the boys greeted each other af-
n.
McKenna already had one decision over
Mr.. Gates, 30 that the bout was hardly
q novelty. Mr.. McKenna Is one heavy
weight who managed to avoid elimina-
ton the other night, the reason being
that he was not entered.
In the serni-nnals Signor Giovanni Gu
seppe Kelly Of The Bronx was pitted
against Eddy Sheviin " New England.
Signor Kelly, who is known as Jimmy
on tho other side of the Harlem River.
was once q playmate Of Jack Britton.
When the former welterweight cham
pion went to Cuba 70 demonstrate the
manly art he took Signor Kelly along
Sor demonstration purposes. Having no
natural scenery to be impaired Signor
Kelly made an excellent subject.
Mr.. Kelly's style Of pulchrltude IS sim
liar 10 that Of Kid Broad. Natural alb
breviations in the matter OF chin aud
forehead make Sgnor Kelly's face q
target that only most accurate
puncher could hit. Both ears have more
or less folded up on him. but as SiGnor
Kelly said philosophically, Even X a
guy was listening these days ne wouldn't
hear anything worth while"
Any ola Nose I'm a storm.
During the process OF the bout one Of
Mr.. Shevlin's seconds shouted the ad-
vice, "The right to the chin" To which
Mr.. Shevlin retorted In reproachful
tones. How can you hit a bird on the
chin when he hasn't got any?' Come
to think OF Il, it's omission would puzzle
nn orthodox fighter who had been
trained on the right 10 Jaw. In lieu OF the
missing chin Kelly had an overhanging
nose. so Shcvlin began TO hammer at
this in a systematic fashion. In time
the nose began to look like the cauli-
lowered ears OF Mr.. Kelly. and the Gus
toners were getting puzzled in their
efforts to locate his features.
Finally a close observer near the ring
side set everybody right again. "The
one In the middle is the nose," he
shouted. 1.-THE others are his ears"
After that anybody could locate Mr..
Kelly with hardly any trouble.
AZ the concIunon OF the twelve rounds
the judges gave the decision to Shevlin.
They decided that it Mr.. Kelly had been
possessed OF a chin that Shevlin GER
tainly would have hit H. Mr.. Muidoon,
chairman OF tho Boxing Commission. is
preparing a new law, barring chinless
boxers as being a menace TO the manly
art.
During the intermisison ladies garbed
rs Red Cross nurses passed cans
among the customers. Prof. James J.
johnson contributed a Canadian quar-
ter, Mr.. William Gibson. in behalf of
Benny Leonard. contributed some kind
remarks and Mr.. Humphries, the an
nouncer, gave them three cheers.
