Dempsey “Laughs ”at Tunneys Punching Record: Gene to Scale A bout 185 Pounds
CHAMPION NAMES MANY
HIS RIVAL FAILED TO K. O.
Answers Challenger, Who Declared Him Overrated
as Hitter, by Saying Fellows in Glass Houses
Should Not Throw Gimmicks.
BY JACK DEMPSEY.
RING records arc deceiving tilings.
Gene Tunney took a few squints at mine recently and came
to tire conclusion that I never whipped a really good man in my
lifetime and that whenever I take on a fellow of my own size—or
smaller—l’m pretty much of a bozo.
All of which may be right—if Gene Tunney wants it understood that
he is right. Rut Gene ought to know by this time that fellows who live
jn glass cottages shouldn't throw gimmicks. >
1 or when 1 look at certain parts of his record I think I ought to
be ashamed of myself for wanting to pick on him on September 23.
Tho bock shows that Tunney, who
tells about what a great puncher he
is, could not stop any of this group:
Johnny liisko, Harry Greb, Jack
Renault, Jim Delaney, Deo Houck,
Tom Dough ran. Dan O’Dowd, Paul
Sampson. “Battling - ’ Devinsky, Jeff
Smith, Martin Burke, Harry Foley,
Fay Keiser and Charlie Weinert.
Those are only some of the crowd
who took all that Tunney had to slap
our, and were right around at the
finish bell, asking
him whera he got
notion he was
s<> tough.
1 wonder how l^lviTmfrWn
group would he in If;-
an upright post
tien if I had 10.
320 rl5 rounds of &.
shooting at them, "
as Tunney had. aßjjpgv In
I knocked out ''jnHH Jn
“Hauling'’ Dec in- fi MBs «B
sky in 1015. which
: Tiiiuu*;. failed gM
.to >:op him. And fjjg} A
conceded
lie was through in ultjirSKY.
3920, but Tunney
found him too tough to drop over in
3922. "Farmer’’ Dodge, a former
sparring partner of mine, stopped
Paul Sampson In a few punches, but
Tunney couldn't stop him at all.
Marty Burke and Renault were
former sparring partners, but Tunney
couldn't knock out either. If I re
member correctly, Dan O’Dowd, who
stood up the full distance before Tun
jiev, has been knocked out half a
dozen times by so-called “dubs’’ or
has-beens. Tunney fought Ray Neu
mann, another of rnv ex-partners, and
didn't get much the best of that 30-
round argument.
Harry Foley went 10 full rounds
with Tunney. And who is Harry
Foley? Fay Keiser went 1 o rounds
with Tunney. So did Charlie Weinert.
And who are they? And who are
Jimmy Delaney and “Chuck” Wiggins?
Tunney may be right I may not
look so tough, judging by the records
that are in the book. But the same
hook certainly seems to be rougher on
Tunney in the matter of cold statis
tics i ha n it is on me.

THE FIGHT GAME
FROM THE INSIDE
(»..
CHAPTER XLVII.
BY JACK KEARNS.
AS McKctrick, with the two money grip?, went through the door
toward the moving locomotive I followed carelessly, and the rest
of the crowd of deputies and revenue men came right after me.
As 1 was going through the door I turned and said: ”1 don't know
what you fellows like, but I've ordered a lot of chops and steaks.’'
There was quite a little jam at that door. Out of the corner of my
eye 1 could see McKetrick. no bigger than the grips himself, making it
hot for the train, no\y moving at faster than ,a walk pace. While some
one of the crowd was growling about his ham and eggs, I turned, and, giv
ing one of them a shove, 1 stepped through the door ami started after
McKetrick.
Even now the rest of them weren’t hep to what was coming off. but
as soon as they’ got to the sidewalk behind me they knew there was some
thing doing, for they immediately caught sight of one Jack Kearns sprint
niff toward the movvng locomotive.
There was one guy among them
who could step, and he came pounding
along after me. 1 saw AlcKetrick
scramble aboard, tossing the grips
before him to the platform of the
caboose.
'Open her wide:
■ ■ •**■ I'll get you!” I
bawled, and 1 want
to say that I bad
MS&wSBm just enough left
ISSg|gjjgr to make it. As I
■Mp • i swung aboard the
HR# ' jp* deputy made
||| 7 t?. • ' grab for me, but 1
turned and. plant
ing my lieel in his
wishbone, sent him
? • sprawling. The en-
IK gineer gave them
the whistle, and
we were flying on
' Jl'\ * our way to Great
Falls, leaving the
Krill v« rest of them flat.
REAItNS. We KOt into
Great Falls that evening. I knew I
was safe in Great Kails. It wasn t
quite ns wild and • woolly as Shelby.
We dumped the dough into a friend's
mink and checked it to Salt Bake
< 'it y.
With all the confidence in the
world, we took a wide slant at that
trunk as it was dumped aboard a
Great Northern train and started on
its way far. far from the greedy fin
gers of the revenue chief and his men.
We went to bed. satisfied that we
had done a good day’s work.
The next morning we were up early
to see the boys from Shelby get in.
Oh. they were boupd to come on the
first regular train as she pulled into
Great Falls. Off hops the revenue
chief and his 20 or more deputies. He
was still stehming hot. I would give
anything for a phonographic record
of what be uncorked when he got
back to that little old deserted hank
and found the money and Kearns had
flown.
Greets Them Cordially.
As they spotted me I made a low
bow and said. “Good morning, boys,
and the top of the morning to you.
chief. What do you say to that de
layed breakfast?"
The chief stormed off with murder
in his eyes and heart. A couple of the
deputies joined m*» at "breakfast, and
they laughed as they told me how I
had burned up their old boss.
“You sure had him up to white heat,
Kearns. That was a slicker you pulled
on us, but, to tell the truth, we were
glad to see you get away with it. W'e
knew that your business was none of
ours all the while.”
The old chief and T talked it over a
iittie later in the day. He cooled out
ami told me he didn't blame me. that
he was only there under orders.
Then 1 went around to look over
the Great Falls banks, i had those
• ■hecks to cash and when opening
time came l was on the job. The
Khelby signs had spread. Across the
big windows of the three Great Falls
banks was the same sad news. The
last Shelby bubble bad busted.
1 found out afterward that every
man connected with the Rhelbv bout
was a stockholder in these banks. I
don't know how they ever squared
themselves with their depositors.
I didn't lose any time getting out
of Great Falls. With? three busted
banks charged to me and the fight, I
thought it best not to linger to sym
pathize. It was their funeral and not
mine. If they had made a bad busi
ness bargain. 1 hadn't and 1 didn’t
propose to stick around and listen to
the groans.
Takes No Chances.
Besides, innocent depositors, not in
the least interested in Kearns or
Dempsey and who had never dreamed

DEMPSEY PUTS BAN
ON CABARET SHOWS
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. September
3 (/s>).—cabarets are barred from Jack
Dempsey’s training camp hereafter.
Arriving at his ring yesterday he
found the stage monopolized by a
dozen or so show girls, dancing In
skin-tight bathing suits, to the tunes
of a jazz band.
Dempsey promptly ordered the en
tertainers off the platform.
“I’m sorry about the whole affair.”
Dempsey said today. “That sort of
thing has no place in.a training camp.
I am here for business and nothing
else. My camp is not a cabaret. It
wasn’t by my authority that they ap
peared here.”
Dempsey declined to comment on
the outburst of Jimmy Dougherty of
Philadelphia, referee, once a warm
friend, whom he refused to greet when
they met in the office of Mayor Bader
yesterday. They met by accident.
Dempsey turned his back, remarking:
“He’s no friend of mine.”
Dougherty protested bitterly after
the incident and related at length a
story of favors done the champion.
He said he'had refused an offer of a
"staggering amount of money” to
give the decision to Tommy Gibbons,
or declare the bout a draw, w hen the
St. Paul heavyweight fought Dempsey
ln Shelby, Mont., three years ago. The
offer, he said, came from a New York
gambler. -
Dougherty and Dempsey have
cool towards each other since Demp
sey split with his former manager,
Jack Kearns. Dempsey feels Dough
ertv sided with Kearns.
Dougherty refereed three fights for
Dempsey.
GRAHAM GETS IN LINE
FOR THE BANTAM TITLE
NEW YORK. September 3 (A*). —
Bushey Graham of Utica, N. Y.,
stepped to the head of contenders for
the bantamweight crown by winning
a 10-round decision over Chick Suggs,
New Bedford negro, in the feature
bout of a bantamweight carnival at
Madison Square Garden last night.
I of a prize fight, might get to blaming
me for the disaster. There’s no tell
ing- what a mob might do. And therfe's
j certainly.nothing that kicks them up
j like bad news posted on a bank win
} dow.
I So. with a genuine sigh of relief. I
! watched Great Falls fade away from
j view through the car windows. The
; toughest job I ever had. the toughest
i any fight manager ever had. was
; washed up. 1 couldn’t get far enough
i away from it to suit me. but I was
j headed for Salt Lake City, Dempsey
i having departed the day before.
Jack was there and we batted
I around for a few days and then talked
over the next piece of business. Firpo
had come along in great, fashion. He
was a sensation by now. He was to
fight Jess Willard in a few days and
if he could bow l him over he would be
a card for Dempsey. Rickard had
asked me to come on to look him
over and I decided to do so.
If Firpo could take Willard be

fight, and had taken Jack MeAuliffe.
Jack Herman, Homer Smith ami Ohar

I had won 21 out of 25 bouts with

NOW IS TRIFLE UNDER 190,
BUT IN GREAT CONDITION
Declares He Could Jump Into Ring at Once and Go
50 Rounds With Best Man in World—Has
Found Pleasure in Training.
«
BY GENE TUNNEY.
THE earliest idea that I might go into the ring outweighing Jack
.Dempsey seems to be dispelled by results of my first two weeks
of training.
1 sealed around 194 or 195 when I started to get busy in my
camp, but day by day I’ve been shedding a little bit and now- I guess l’tn
a trifle under 190—with more than two weeks to go. The strenuous days
arc still ahead and I imagine that during them I'm going to lose about
five or six more pounds.
Training for this fight is a radical—and pleasing—departure from the
days when 1 was defending my title of American light-heavyweight cham
pion and had to make 175. It was easy at first. Later, when I began pick
ing up weight and growing into the heavy class, this stunt of shearing
down to 175 was a little difficult. ' >
Now it’s all different. I need only
to reduce to a point where I am in the
pink. I do not have to make any
exact poundage. Plenty of hard,
muscle-building work, the right kind
of diet, lots of sleep—that’s what is
required of me.
Then nature does
it the rest, for
the
poundage, wheth
my work with
plenty of vim and
I a great kick out
for some folks.
TIWEV for me. And the
great joy I get out
of it is day by day realization that
every time I go through my stuff it
means I am Just as much nearer to
physical perfection which will enable
me to win over Jack Dempsey on
September 23.
I could jump into the ring now and
go 50 rounds with the toughest man
In the world. That’s because I’ve al
ways kept in tip-top shape. But, fit
as I am now, I shall not leave any
thing undone to be in the greatest
shape that a human can be. So I’m
plugging along in my training and
building for speed and greater dura
bility. so that when the hour comes
that I face Jack Dempsey I shall have
no alibi to offer then or later on the
point of condition.

VARIETY TO FEATURE
BILL AT KENILWORTH
Variety is the feature of the three
( star boxing card being presented by
; Promoter Heinie Miller at Kenilworth
arena on Tuesday. There are three
main bouts, ranging from a classy
bantam mill to a clever boxing tilt
via a blood-and-thunder slugging
match.
Billy Drako and Frankie Uhesloek
will provide the slugging bout for a
distance of 10 rounds. Cheslqck is
of the opinion that he can bounce libs
left book off Billy’s chin and watch
the German take the count.
Drako says he will take till Uhesloek
has to send, cry for more and come
on in as the winner.
Eddie Buell, crack local bantam and
former Coast main bouter. is down
for the acid test against Eddie Leon
ard. Baltimore’s best bantam bet.
Leonard has youth and the punch,
plus speed. Buell has real ring class,
a great head, a good wallop. Both
are confident of victory. Leonard is
the better range fighter, while Buell
is smarter in close.
Two clever bantams are down for
an eight-round shot with Terry O’Day
facing juvenile Buster Dundee. The
little Baltimore boy has yet to disap
point an audience. His chief stock
in trade is to steal the spotlight at
each show. O’Dav believes he has

DOS ANGELES, September 3 OP).-
His amateur standing and the privi
lege of entering the next Olympic
games for a crack at the crown he
lost to Johnny Weissmuller means
more to Duke Kahanamoka, three
times Olympic champion swimmer,
than a $25,000 prize.
The Hawaiian lias announced here
that he will attempt to swim the
channel between Santa Catalina Is
land and the California mainland
three weeks hence, but will not swim
for the $25,000 purse hung up for
later competition by William Wrigley,
jr., as that would make him a pro
fessional.
The channel swim is possible, Ka
hanamoka says, although rapid
changes in temperature, often 20 de
grees in a few hundred yards, will
be the greatest obstacle.

TILDEN AND CHAPIN
REACH FINAL ROUND
By the Associated Press.
BROOKLINE, Mass., September 3.
A Texas team and two powerful East
ern combinations today were left in
the tournament for the national tennis
doubles title.
Lewis N. White and Louis Thal
helmer of Texas, former intercollegi
ate and present clay court champion,
were matched for today’s semi-finals
against the defending title holders. R.
Norris Williams and Vincent Richards.
William T. Tildon and Alfred 11.
Chapin, jr.. entered the finals yester
day by defeating William Johnston
and Edgar G. Chandler, 6—3, o—6,0 —6,
2—6, 6—2, G— 4.
The final round will be played to
morrow.
Johnston Fights Gamely.
Defeat came to Johnston as it al
ways has come in the pa-st—with the
little Californian fighting back gamely
to stave off a sensational finish on
the part of Tilden and his teammate
from Springfield, Mass. But he found
the Philadelphia wizard in one of his
marvelous winning moods, with serv
ice, drive and volley under complete
command, and. despite a thrilling
stand in the final set, the Far AVest
contingent could not beat back the
closing rush of the Eastern combina
tion.
Chandler bore up well with John
ston in the gripping rallies of the fifth
set. It was largely through the bril
liant passing shots of the University
of California athlete that the Pacific
C’oast players were able to break
through the service of Chapin to pull
up within a game of their rivals, after
having trailed at 5—2.
Had the Californians been facing
any other player than Tilden in the
lenth and concluding game of the set,
their uphill fight might have carried
on to another service break, and then
victory. But. after having lost three
successive services in the second and
third sets. Tilden this time was not
to be denied. His delivery rode through
the opiiosing couix like a rifle shot,
and in six swift and penetrating
strokes he liad settled the issue.

Inside Golf
-By Chester Horton -
One of the reasons for a quick,
jerky swing is that the player feels
a lack of confidence and is uncon
-1 ”——■ ~ sciously willing to
get his swing over
£ with as quickly as
7 possible. The fin
yff Y7 / est cure I know
/M r / of for this lack of
frS I / confidence, which
/ tlji / j, constitutes a tcr
t l. V rible mental liaz
\ nrd in golf, is to
gWL >’r slow up the swing.
Practice slow
swings, and then
practice them
W \ l some more. De
\V, termine that it
will be impossible
Wevauß <9w.ns for you to niake
IlowlY your swing too
——J slowly. And as
the swing slows down your confidence
with it will gradually rise. This hap
pens because the slow swing will give
you an increasing command over the
club —it will develop automatically.
The worst hazards in golf are the
mental hazards. The player must al
ways be on guard against them.

FRENCH FORMIDABLE
FOES, SAYS TILDEN
By the Associated Pith \
BROOKLINE, Mass.. September 3
—Warning against American over
confidence, William T. Tilden, national
singles champion, has expressed th«
opinion that the decisive defeats suf
fered by French Davis cup players in
tlie doubles championship here could
not be taken as an accurate basis for
comparison of the rival international
teams which will battle next work in
Philadelphia.
He called attention to the fact that
Jean Borotra, who went down to de
t'eat with llene Laeoste at the hands
of William M. Johnson and Edward
O. Chandler, had only recently ar
rived in America.
“Borotra has not yet become a«-
climated.” said Tilden. “and Lacosie
has as yet done Very little playing
on grass."
"In spite of their defeats, T think
the Frenchmen played very well in
spots,” said Tilden. “Lacoste will he
heard from next week. He is liable
to defeat anybody.”

HORSE. NOT BELIEVED
IN RACE, RUNS SECOND
CHICAGO. September 3 —A
temperamental Horse which will not
ltarade from the paddock to the post
with other entries has been tho inno
cent cause of unmeasured confusion
and hubbub at Lincoln Fields recently,
and has earned the title "Prima Donna
of the Turf.”
Chink, a 3-year-old. owned hy Mrs.
W. J. Howard of Baltimore, has re
peatedly refused to respond to the
bugle call, and his trainer finally was
granted permission to lead him alone
to the post.
Missing the horse in the procession
to the barrier, hundreds of fan? re
cently were surprised when they
learned upon demanding refunds of
their wagers that Chink had come in
second.
