Speaking of Sports Gene Tunney, who holds the world’s heavywelght champlonship, ‘will probably spend some time today in revising his opinion of Jack De- Janey, Bridgeport battler, who holds the title of light heavyweight cham- plon of the world. Just a few days ago, Tunney gave the opinlon that Jack Dempsey would have to hit Jack Delaney only once and there wouldn't be any more fight. Tunney then swent on to say that he would knock Dempsey out the next time they met. It was a case of “Dempsey is the greatest fighter in the world except one and and that happens to be me. Last night, Jack Delaney took Bud Gorman, considered the tough- est test for any fighter entering the heavywelght ranks, mto camp by a knockout punch in two rounds. In fact, the bout ias stopped just a minute and 52 scconds after the sce- ond round had begun. Gorman had been knocked down twice and was hanging on the hopes helpless when the referee stopped the fight. Gorman was a sparring partner of Gene Tunney's and he has made the crack that he can beat Tunney if the two ever meet in the Ting. Now we may be off in our deduc- tlons and those backers of Tunney, who because of his war record, con- sider that he should be heavyweight champion for life, may not agree with us, but we still consider Tunney as an unknown as far as champions &0. Tunney's suporters will ask *Wasn't the fact that he beat Demp- sey enough to show that he is the greatest fighter in the world?” but in the same breath they will go on to tell you that the reason they knew that Tunney would beat the former champlon was because a three years’ layoff hurt Dempsey so much that he couldn’t come back. Tunney, according to them, is the greatest fighter in the world simply because he beat Dempsey who was nothing mors than a shell after a three years' layofi. Of course, he has beaten others, too, Tommy Gibbons, for instance, but that is neither here nor there with re d to a Tunney- Delaney match. Gibbons was not the same fighter of a few years back. Tunney beat Carpenter also, another wreck. Looking b: over the pages, wo find that Tunney ha met anything in the ring that has been good. ‘What has Delaney done? He has knocked out Tiger Flowers twice in succession. He has knocked out Paul Berlenbach, lost a decision to him in 15 rounds and then beat him for the champlonship in a third fight. Ie finished Jamaica Kid In three rounds and last night, he put Bud Gorman away in two. Besides these, he has beaten King Solomon and a few lesser lights. Tunney in fighting trim, weighs 187 pounds. Delaney scales less than 175, yet, we venture the prediction that if the two ever meet, and cer-| tainly Delaney has started on the right road, Delancy will be the heavyweight champion of the world. We have nothing against Gene Tunney except that we don't think he is the great fighter some people would make him out to be. Then again, his supercilious attitude kind of gets under one's skin and makes it appear as if he is trying to ignore the greatest menace to his throne, Jack Delaney Connecticut is going to have a heavyweight champion, barring all untoward accidents or illnesses. That has been Delaney’s greatest hin- drance, sickness and accidents. Jack wasn’t blessed with a rugged consti- tution and several times he has re- celved serious setbacks through ill- ness. He is slowly overcoming this ob- stacle and his work of last night, hi second fight since he won the light heavyweight champlonship from Paul Berlenbach, shows that he lacks nothing of his speed and punching power. We have seen Delaney in action on several occasion: haven't seen Tunne to think that we would lay our bets on the Connecticut boy. We will be interested in secing whether Tunney has any answer to the riddle that Jack Delaney set up ‘or him last night. Bud Gorman, never knocked out before, put to sleep in two rounds by the pride of the Nutmeg Btate. Pete Reilley, Delaney’s manager, Ashes drop through to the bowl. It caa not tip overand spill.

Reilley atated that Delaney was out to meet all the logical contenders so that nothing would remain for Tun- ney but for him to consent to meet Delaney in the ring. Bud Gorman is No. 1 on the list. {Next comes Jack Sharkey as the !two have promised to meet under the promotion of Humbert Fugazy on some date before February 1, 1927, Jimmy Maloney of Boston meets Harry Persson of Sweden {n Madl- son Square Garden tomorrow night.
