BIG HEAVYWEIGHT ATTRAC- TION OF TEN ROUNDS IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE MARCH 12 4 (By Associated Press) MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 26.—Gene Tun- ney, of New York, and Young Strib- ling; formerly of Macon, Ga., now of Miami, who meet here in the big- gest heavyweight attraction offered boxing fans since Jack . Dempsey knocked out Georges Carpentier, are considered to be the two cleanest living boxers in America. Tunney and Stribling are down for a ten-round contest at the Hialeah Stadium on the night of March 12. Promoter Jess Baugh is staging the fistic duel between the two gladiators who meet to decide Jack Dempsey’s next ring opponent. Gene Tunney is the sole surviving fighter of the world’s war. the numerous fighters developed in the American Expeditionary Forces, Tunney is the sole survivor. Tunney served as a Devil Dog with the Marines, and participated in some! ;of the drives on the Western front. | He was shifted to Paris after the war and won the heavyweight champion- | ship of the A. E. F. by defeating Bob | Martin. | Upon their return to the States, | Martin was rushed into the big money : while Tunney was carefully tutored ‘by Billy Gibson. son’s clever matchmaking is that Mar- tin is dead pugilisticaliy while Tun- , ney is on the road to a crack at the | Dempsey crown. M Tunney had a remarkable year during 1925. He knocked out two | heavyweights who had never been on the floor:before. He stopped Bartley Madden in four rounds and knocked out the crafty Tom Gibbons in 14 rounds. Gibbons went the 15-round route against Champion Dempsey and had beat every other heavyweight of note ‘that he met. The Gibbons knockout was a real fistic surprise, as Tommy was picked to stow Gene away. In knocking out the tough Bartley Madden, Tunney ended the career jof the toughest neavyweight of the last decade. Harry Wills, the de- ceased Bill Brennan, Fred Fulton, Gibbons, Greb, and other luminaries ‘of the fistic world found Bartley a stubborn =preposition. Tunney was me Fe to ever’ floor Madden and the knockout.Gene scored was the tip that Tunney was about ready for the Dempsey battle. "Gene must’ beat Stribling to earn 'the Dempsey go. He is tentatively matched with Dempsey by Tex Rick- ard. If Stribling beats him Tex is forced to alter his plans. Stribling has made a rapid climb to fame under the management of “P” Stribling. He now makes Miami his home. Stribling, like Tunney, is a well cultured clean living exponent of the Queensbury art. Promoter Baugh predict a gate of $300,000 when the two boxers clam- ber through the ropes. He will an- nounce the full card that wil! precede the main bout in several days.
