Personality Engulfs Champ Even more than when he was training for his two well remem- berec fights with Jack Dempsey, the fight atmosphere of the camp is engulfed completely by the per- sonality of the strange champion who is preparing at odd moments for the defense of his title against Tom Heeney ‘'n New-York on the night of July 26. For, since what his critics and his bantering friends refer to as the night of the long count last Sep- tember, he has done even stranger things for a prize fighter than he did before the public became aware of the other and more dominating side of his personality. Lectures on Shakespeare One of the strange acts that has made of him almost an object of curiosity instead of the idol of young roughnecks took him to Yale not long ago to lecture the young college boys on Shakespeare and as a result the curious casuals from the nearby mountain summer re- sorts come here expecting to see him emerge from his cottage with a satchel of books and mount a stump for a lecture on something that has nothing to do with the profession he follows. More than a quarter of a mile from the cottage which he shares at times with the champion novelist of the year, a millionaire depart- ment store owner, a rich newspaper publisher and society man and the hardest boiled sport columnist in the country is the tent-covered ring which seems to be stooped in apol- ogy for its presence in such gentle surroundings. Gene Is Modest Much farther, though, than that ting where Tunney uses the weap- ons of his trade are any other be- traying signs of his trade. Even thoughts of what he calls a “sordid dirty business” seem to be miles and miles from his interest unless he is backed against the wall by an ag- gressive interviewer and worked around with great care to a position where he has to speak of it in self- defense—never in pride. Tunney has many other interests. He will volunteer a mention of the business so close in hand only to tell you that after “it” he will hike through Ireland and Scotland with Thornton Wilder, the Pulitzer prize novelist, and will be tempted back | home only by the duty of voting for | Al Smith. Boxing Not Important He will engage you in a pleasant | —and far from dumb—discussion about anything that has nothing to! do with prize fighting. His sub- jects are many and varied and they | are all rather high-browed. He will} even give you a debate that Will| Rogers is not creative and that he} never has done anything construc- tive toward the intellectual advance- ment of the people. But, purely as incidentals and sometimes as points to illustrate his contention along another line, he will mention something to do with his business and as a result of one of these slips he let it be known that he positively has no intention to re-; tire after the Heeney fight and that he hasn’t the faintest idea that his career could be set behind him by anything that might happen to him in the coming fight. i 1G (By the Associated Press) Chicago.— Jack Berg, Eng- land, technically knocked out Mike Waters, Los Angeles (9).

Y., July 13.—@)— Friday the 13th was a holiday in Speculator, where Gene Tunney is training to defend his heavyweight title against Tom Heeney, the rug- ged New Zealander, on July 26 at the Yankee stadium. ‘The day’s rest, Tunney’s handlers believe, will keep the champion, who now weighs 19612, almost his fight- ing weight, from reaching the peak of condition too early. The day of idleness, it was explai about five pounds on him, a margin he will find useful during the 13 days which are yet to come before he defends his crown. | Tunney postponed his ten-round session with sparring partners and punching bags until tomorrow. The champion has agreed to take a brisk workout on Sunday while Tex Rick- ard is here to witness the signing of the New York boxing commission contract for the coming battle. The occasion will be Rickard’s first visit to this resort, which the champion considers one of the country’s most beautiful spots. Tunney has yet to ‘vork out on the Sabbath during the present training campaign, but, like a gra- cious host, he is willing to go to any extreme to entertain Rickard, his rer; Root and Hartnett. ee (Called in 6th, rain) Philadelphia-Pittsburgh, rain.
