GENE'S INJURED LIP NOW ABOUT HEALED By the Associated Press STROUDSBURG, Pa., September 18.—Gene 'Tunney's workout today wag an “in-between” affair. not so good as his Best, but far from his poorest. The challenger’s boxing this afternoon’ was good and bad in spot: Jimmy Delaney, $t. Paul light heav. weight, gave the big crowd more than its money’s worth with his rushing. tearing tactics. Delaney managed to hit Tunney fre- quently, but many of the punches were half spent when they got home and Tunney cleverly evaded some of the mére murderous wallops. De- laney used a fast left hand through- out his two rounds in the ring. Tunney forced Delaney to miss more often today th#h was the case yester- day or the day before. The marine entry got@&ome hard drives home and again cut his sparring partner’s nose. Today's exhibition was important in that it apparently showed Tunney’s lip_well on the way to recovery. When the Stroudsburg camp was opened, a cut, following a cold sore, made a troublesome lip causing some uneasiness among the attaches and well wishers of the bidder for the championship. Either by accident or design Delaney popped a hard left squarely on the lip today with no disastrous result. Tunney foresook the road today, although this part ef his training routine has not been abandoned. He will run again before he fights, but may not explore the Pocone' trails on_foot tomorrow. Boxing tomorrow afternoon will close the public appearances of Tun- ney in the ring untll the sesqui- climax. He will do his work in pri- vate Monday, Tuesday and Wednes. day. There were a couple of informal boxing rounds on the program today, when Tunney put on the gloves with a newspaper reporter in his room. The reporter was a fair fighter in his day, winning a title under the name of Benny Leonard. All-Stars will go out to Galesville, Md., today for a base ball game.

Wash- ingtonians who gathered on or about the Potomac¢ to witness the finish of the most spectacular speed boat re- gatta ever staged in this locality were treated to an unexpected innovation which marked an important epoch in ‘women’s sports. Not only did they see two daring sportswomen racing neck-and-neek with the most skillful speed pilots in the courtry—beating some of them at their own game- but they saw these same two matched against each other in the first race of this type exclusively for women ever run. And those who saw it realized that women are entering another field of sports at one time con- sidered to be exclusively for men. | That a woman could be depended | upon to “stay put’-in a_shallow boat, | skimming the water at 50 to 80 miles an hour without fainting or becoming hysterical, would have been consid- ered highly improbable not so many years ago—much less that one of the fair sex could pilot this same streak of greased , lightning with skillful hand and cool judgment! “A woman at the wheel of a speed boat?

ALEXANDRIA ELEVENS PLAY NEXT SATURDAY/ ALEXANDRIA., Va., Sept. 18.— scholastie foot ball for 1926 will get its start in this city next Saturday when two of the local high school teams go into action. Alexandria will play Gonzaga High in this eity and George Mason goes to Baltimore to meet Mount St. Joseph.
