BY JACK DEMPSEY. 1 ING records are decciving thin, Gene Tunney took a few to the conclusion that T neve Iifetime an smaller—I'm pretty much of a bozo. All of which may be right—if Ge he is right. in glass cottages shouldn’t throw gimmicks, For when 1 look at certain parts of his record I think T ought to be ashamed of myself for wanting to pick on him on Scptember 23. The bock shows that Tunney, who 7ells about what a great puncher he is, could not stop any of this group: Johnny Risko, Harry Greb, Jack Ttenault, Jim Delaney, Leo Houck, Tom Loughran, Dan O'Dowd, Paul | Sampson, “Battling” Levinsky, Jeff | Smith, Martin Burke, Harry Foley, 1'ay Keiser and Charlie Weinert. ‘I'hose are only some of the crowd who took all that Tunney had to slap and were right around at the finith bell, asking him whera he got the notion he was o tough.

Marty Burke and Jagk Renault were former sparring partners, but Tunney couldn't knock out elther. If I re- member correctly, Dan O'Dowd, who | ktood up the full distance before Tun- | ey, has been knocked out half dozen times by so-called “dubs” or | hasbeens.
