W ¥ ‘culmination of the long period of . conference and he said it was his TUNNEY HEAVIER BY SIX POONDS Heavyweight Champion Scales at Exactly 192 Today Speculator, N. Y. Aug. 30 (P— Gene Tunney is fully six pounds over his best fighting weight—and glad of it. A little over three weeks from to- day the heavyweight champion must ‘meet the challenge of Jack Dempsey, seeking to enatch back the crown Which Tunney won in the ring at Philadelphia last fall. Only that extra weight, Tunney believes, will | permit him to drive at top speed through the next three weeks of in- tensive training and ensure his en- | ‘tering the ring in Ghicago, Scptem- ber 22, in the best physical condi- tion of his career. The burly marine weighed 192 pounds today. Last September the ‘building up from the light heavy- | welght ranks, found Gene scaling | only 186 pounds. The added weight, all on the up- per part of the body. iipparently has deft power to his punches without ‘taking toll in spced. Slipping into the training ring yes- terday Tunney drilled for six rounds. | He punched the bag for three rounds ‘and sped through three more of box- ing with Billy Vidabeck, New Jersey | middleweight. GENEVA FAILURE BROUGHT AGTION: Viscount Cecil Out of Sympathy With Englsh Attitule | London, Aug. 30 (UP)—The Bald- i government's disarmament | policy was brought to the nation's | attention today through Viscount Robert Cecil’s letter to Prime Minis- ter Baldwin stating his reasons for resigning from the cabinet. The letter from one of Britain's | foremost statesmen and one of the founders of the League of Nations was an indictment of the govern- ‘ment's entire disarmament policy, including its position during the re- icent three-power naval conference at Geneva which failed because of ,the refusal of the British delegation to reduce its tonnage to a figure ac- ceptable to the United States and Japan, Cecll, who was a member of the | British delegation, said he was out of sympathy with instructions from the government during the Geneva NEW BRITAIN HERALD [~ "-~] opinion that an agreement might have been reached at Geneva with- out sacrificing British interests it only the government had taken a different attitude. In conclusion, Cecil said the-fu- ture lay in an aroused and instruct- ed public opinion and he intended to devote whatever energies remain- ed in him to that end. Baldwin replied saying he would accept the resignation with regret. Although the resignation becomes effective at once, Cecil will continue his duties as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster until Baldwin return from his vacation at Aix Les Baines. Announcing his resignation, Cecil said he vould not go to the meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva on Thursday as one of the British government's delegates. The Daily News said Baldwin had appointed the Earl of Onslow to replace Cecil at the League of Nations n!sembly.‘ WANDREW DROPPED INCHICAGD FIGHT Mayor Had Pledged Self to Rid Schools of Superintendent Chicago, Aug. 30 (P—William McAndrew, the Chicago school su- perintendent which Mayor Willlam Hale Thompson charged with bring- ing pro-British history books into the public schools, has been at least temporarily ousted from the 6chools.
