Up to now, there has been not |the slightest basis for believing Tunney would reconsider his retire- ment, for any reason. The last time I had any discussion with Gene on this subject, on the way out to | Ohio where he was to plant a tree for Beeman Dawes and also watch the Ryder Cup golf matches, he remarked quite humorously: “Of course, if it was the only thing left for me to do and I had to recoup my fortunes in some way, I might prefer to fight again | but you can't even say now that | have given this any thought | | whatever.” I do not know what, if any, fac- tors might bring about a Tunney comeback. Without any intimate knowledge at all as to his affairs, I would not consider that money, or prestige or any lure of the ring would bring him back, much less the inspiration of any patriotic mo- to recover the world’s cham pionship for America by boxing Max Schmeling. So far as the latter consideration | goes, there is no discernible de- mand to restore this particular championship to the United States nor any growth of anti<Schmeling sentiment whatever. The fact is that Schmeling has done more than any American heavyweight in the last three years | to lend some dignity and effective- | ness of performance to the heavy- | weight division. i Instead of being set upon by ex- champions such as Tunney and Dempsey, Maxie should be compli- mented for his achievements. Gossip Authentic. The source of the latest Tunney gossip is such, however, as to en- title it to more than passing con- sideration. i It would be the best of policy, of course, if Gene is actually consid- ering a comeback, to issue nothing but denials for the time being. Speculation and ballyhoo are the life of the fistic sport and there is nothing like an uncertainty, a may-be-yes-may-be-no proposition | to give stimulation to the discus- ston. | Would Tunney draw big enough money in these times, moreover, to} make a comeback ‘worth while? As the retired, undefeated champion, Gene has won more popularity since he quit the ring than he ever enjoyed at the height of his fighting days. It is the same with Dempsey, but Dempsey, liked or disliked, always packed 'em in. Dempsey, in a big match next year, would outdraw Tunney or anyone else, 2 or 3 to 1. No million dollar “gate” ever was counted without Dempsey having been one | of the principals. Tunney’s last title match, with Tom Heeney, drew barely a half- million and was a financial flop, for Tex Rickard. | i Dempsey Never Quit. There is much less guess work so far as Dempsey is concerned. The old mauler never quit the boxing game as abruptly or as coldly as did Tunney. He always liked to fight, and always will, as long as there’s important money available. The build-up for Dempsey for 1932 is a cinch ,as matters stand, with a return Sharkey match or a Carnera match available under the proper inducements. Junior Champ Although he had never previously swam more than a mile, Joe R. | Hodgins (above), 17, of Baldwin, | L. 1., won the National A. A. U. Junior Long Distance Champion- ship at the meet held recently at Oyster Bay, L. 1. Hodgins was the junior interscholastic chamé)mn while a student at Baldwin igh School, L.

U. 5%-mile event BASEBALL HONORS| Having won seven out of twelve games this season, the Junior Elks claim the junior baseball cham- pionship. Opponents were the Jun- ior Moose. 1f there is any disposition on the part of the Junior Moose to dispute the claim of the Junior EIks, Irving Hagerup of the Junior Elks' team says they are willing to play additional games. The Junior Moose would have to win two more games to tie for the title and three games to win it “They couldn’t possibly do it” | declares young Hagerup.
