EW YORK, July 26.—The marines told it to Gene Tunney seven champion of them all as a boxer in The confidence of his buddies, expressed in 1919, that he would reach the pinnacle of the fighting heap some day, is now a big incentive for Tunney to defeat Jack Dempsey. From marines Tunney, first learned to fight, with impliments of war, as well as with the 4-ounce gloves. self for another battle. “You know, I always fight my battles out beforehand, Soldierlike, he now is disciplining -him- id Tunney. “I mean by that I plan and live through them by myself, figuring out my opponent’s and my own attack and defense. quiet and solitude of the woods for n to step through the ropes I haven't That’s the reason I like the 1y training.

Seven years of action in the ring have left few marks upon his counte- nance. His smile shows & white and even row of teeth, his nose is straight —naturally and not by any synthetic process—and his ears bear no resem- biance to the caulifiower type. An easy going disposition is part ' of Tunney's characteristics, but he can be aroused if need be. Much as he has been eager to get & chance at Dempsey anywhers, it is a keen disappointmen to him that the biggest fight of his career will not be held in New York. He makes no sidestepping either in charging that Rickard was prevented from arranging to stage the contest here because of political motives inspir- ing the opposition of James A.

If that doesn't put me in the logical contender class I don't know how to_get there.” Then he told how he became a fight- er when a marine. “I had never put on the gloves until I reached training camp, where boxing was a compulsory part of the work,” he said. “I was only 19 then, but quickly took to the game.

QHICAGO, July 26 UP).—The tan- gle involving the plans of two rival promoters to stage a heavyweight championship fight here apparently finds only one man absolutely sure of himself—Jack Dempsey. The champien, at Colorado Springs, has told the world that he is “in great shape right now” and eager for a fight, and, in addition, the physi- clan, who sald he remodeled Jack’s nose, maintains in a court affidavit that the new nasal appendage can stand a 256 _per cent heavier. punch than the old one. Tex Rickard, who suddenly became pessimistic last week over his chances of promoting his cherished Dempsey- Tunney mixup here on September 11, was more optimistic today, sflylnfi that “things are looking brighter, and that he “might have something to positively announce” béfore to- night. ll"’t‘l’nknxd sadly admitted three days ago that B, C.

JEFF K. 0.’D CORBETT BEFORE FITZ DID IT The fact that Jim Jeffries knocked out Jim Corbett, while the latter was training at Carson City, Nev., in 1897, for his fight with Fitzsimmons, s definitely established by Robert Edgren in an article in this week's Liberty. The knockout occurred behind closed doors during Jeffries’ tryout as sparring partner for Corbett, and whether it really happened or not has been disputed for more than a quarter of a century. According to Edgren, who was sta- tioned at Carson City te report the Corbett-Fitzsimmons bout for a San Francisco paper, the rumor went around that Corbett had been knocked out by his big new sparring partner. Edgren, however, never believed this story, and visiting Jeffries not long ago at the ex-champlon’s ranch at Burbank, Calif., asked him about it. “Corbett didn’'t knock me out!” ex- claimed Jeffries. *“I knocked him out! The story that he knocked me out was just ballyhoo for the fight—to worry Fitzsimmons and boost Cor- bett's stock by crediting him with a knockout punch * * * But there's no reason why the ‘truth shouldn’t be told now.” \ —_— SIMPSON IS THROUGH.
