Nearly $20,000 was raised in a few minutes by this auction. | The champion rewarded the gath- ering with his personal views of the controversy over the famous “long count” of Soldicr ficld last Septem- ber, in a 15 minute address. The heavyweight champion expressed his opinion of anyone who would im- pugn the honesty of the ring offi- s or the cily back of them. Tunney cotned a word to describe such criticism, call- ed it “unsporting.” Incidental to his errand as an agent of Santa Claus, the champion talked boxing business a little with Promoter Jim Mullen in regard to a heavyweight championship here nest summer. However, he re- forred most of the questions to his | manager, Billy Gibson. son said Tunney was cager fo deiend his title here mext summer, if a suitable opponent could be found.
