From Christmas sailings available Jack Dempsey will he in the ring each Putin la up the fight of his life. Say for me that it will a Battle from Start to finish and that All this talk of last year s fight is just ail Idle attempt and a useless one to get my said Tunney today. That goes for me said Dempsey when told of the Cham Pion s Promise. J Tex rec Lcarl the promoter who is showing More evidence of undue excitement on the eve of the affair thai either fighter added his Assurance that any suggestion of anything wrong about the forthcoming affair was just so much malicious gossip. Now these three men Are men to believed and there is every possibility of thursday night s fight proving one of the Best in history. Wily tin Humours Why then have we had All the chatter about an attempt to bribe a referee and a judge at Philadelphia and counter charges concerning More recent activities in the Dempsey Camp there Are two reasons 1 Leo. P. Plynn and others inter ested in Jack Dempsey s regaining the title hoped to get Gene Tunney s Goat Hirling at Hin charges which after All. Had Little to do with the present fight. In this they were ill advised cause personal and considerable acquaintance with Gene Tunney con Vinces one that he has no Goat. Try ing to rattle the present Champion is a waste of time. 2 some folks Felt that the Situa Tion during the Early part of the week of Battle was much too Xii it and needed the stimulant of a Little artistic recrimination. In tills they were right but the manner in which they attempted to stimulate the situation was unfortunate for they merely succeeded in foil ing their own nest. A employ Avor ried the fact is that once the Origina blast accusing the Tunney coterie o an attempt to steal the Philadelphia fight had been tossed on sunday Jack Dempsey did a. Whole More worrying Abonit it than did Gene. One of the co authors of the Demp sey open letter which started All the e trouble nearly had his nose punched in Tex Rickard s office today Jimmy Bronson. Tunney s chief second who was mentioned a pleas am v in the epistle. The writer hastily denied responsibility for the offending document and iia to it was Dempsey s own and Wor Clauc. Which was such a Loke that the affair ended in laughter rather thru in blows. No Whf .money1 yet of the gamblers Are planning it coup such As the Onn they arc off at phyla in of is vet knows which any the so called Wise Money will Many Ulrik Eire at ovoid Money v t i extra thousands of dollars to hot in Der Scy await ing the arrival of so import for the Champion. The betting brokers still an ask if 6 to 5 on Tunney but they merely Are interested in their Street bets his now cruises Winter 1927-1928 sound the world South America Africa. Mediterranean West indies the Man in Tho i Amoy it oven Odds. I outs de Chicago tvs Dron in the i Odds which at first favored Tunney 1 May have been erroneous y internet j m is due of sus Nucion that everyone t franc mlle interested favored Tho re i turn of Dempsey to the heavy we get j throne. A close Friend of Tex rec lined said however that from the promoter s Point of View Reno Tunney would Moro profitable Holder of the t since he would go on flirt tire where As a Enscy is Emit to retire. Chicago was torn with hours Heine to Damn Way urn in majority and they talk louder. Battle As to which Guan land Rice Chicago sept. Job of pick ing a Winner or trying to pick one in the Tunney Dempsey discussion would much simpler if it were Noc for All the outside elements involved. Tunney is younger than Der Nosey about three years with a better pair of legs to carry him about. But Tunney has fought just once in about two years and these Long gaps Between competitions always make it harder to figure any performance in Advance. Dempsey has crowded in another train ing siege and another fight since he faced Tunney and this certainly won t Hurt his showing. If has been stated frequently tha Dempsey s legs were extremely rickety in the Sharkey fight and yet he was stronger in the seventh round than a was at the end of the first. Picking winners has become too complicated an assignment in the whirl. What with fouls referees and unknown currents the complexities arc beyond any one who in t once of guessing. Reasons to spare if there should a sudden and startling reversal of Dempsey s showing from his Philadelphia stand there will a Boatload of reasons offered for Tho that to was no longer worried Kearns. That he had needed another hard fight to get in fighting shape. That he had found a Way to get Tunney s guard. That he Vas not poisoned this time mosquitoes or Coffee. Probably Many other reasons will discovered in time for Dempsey a Dempsey wins. Which la another guess Elthor Way you care to take it. Burning details the inside Story of what happened usually remains an inside Story. Take the incident of Dempsey s one Rush which cent Tunney to the ropes in. The famous fourth round at Philadelphia. Thure was Tunney apparently at Dempsey s mar cd when Dempsey backed away. What was the inside Story of Demp sey s tactics Gene Normille. Dempsey s manager at the time said later that Dempsey thought Tunney was on Tho floor and he did t want to disqualified for hitting him while Down. Jack o Brien also in Ner says that Dempsey was too Arm weary to land another punch. Both have stated they talked with Dempsey after the round and the above is what happened. But the a voc contains two entirely separate stories. Boxing Latch Tuo argument a to whether the Chicago spectacle is to a fight or a boxing match still goes on. Tumpey says boxing Kernp sey says both can right Tunney turned the Philadelphia show into a boxing match and Dempsey contribution to the fight Side of tin debate was the same contribution punching bag makes As it Bounds Back arid Forth from the Impact of leather Tunney is undoubtedly set again put on a boxing it i remain such if Dempsey ladles out the same Brand he did a year ago. By the main object of a heavyweight championship is still to leave the other party on the Back of his neck dream ing of the hour. Pew expect to see Dempsey quite As ineffectual at Chi Cago As he was at Philadelphia. It id All very Well to suggest that the better Boxer stand off and Box the fighter into submission. But this isnt1 As easy As it the fighting Side carries enough transportation in the Way of so and legs and Fust stepping feet. Dempsey is going to pile in Xii Wing no other system and legs hold out there will a fight. If they Don t there will a boxing match. The difference Between a boxing match and a fight is first a matter of mental attitude then a matter of punching Power and then a matter of legs. There is no disputing demur Scy s mental attitude or the still dangerous remnant of his punching Power. There is much More to Dis cussed when it comes to a matter of ing Power.
