WALLACE VS. KAUFMAN Leading Contenders for Lightweight The Friendly Hour Whist club met yesterday afternoon at the home of Kerwin, and Mrs. Lenden, Aug. 30 (® — Lauding . Gene Tunney's bearing at last night’s _dinner party given in his honor by . Harry Preston, noted British sports- man, the Express refers to the ex- champion as “the embodiment of he- man decency.” Tunney scored one of the greatest knockouts of his life, the paper says. by gracefully hobnobbing with the| literary celebritics and other not- | ables attending the party. In a toast to the guest of honor, Lord Dec called Gene a ‘“great ‘gentlema; and hoped he would have much success in “his chosen field of literature.” The voung Marquis of Clydesdale followed with a brief speech and the ex-champion replied with graceful phrases of appreciation. “f don't know why you make this| fuss over me,” Gene said. “What is boxing® The ability to coordinate mind and muscle at a critical mo- ment, that is all. “Yet you receive me with all this acclaim. If I had been a great paint- er 1 would have been met by a couple of long-haired men and short haired wonien; had I been a famous literateur my welcome would have been left to posterit. He denounced the ‘“killer” type as a menace to boxing, declaring the only joy to oe obtained in a fight is by facing & man of physical and in- tellectual equality. Noting that Tunney's dinner jacket failed to hide his shoulder muscles, the Express writer's first impression from the American’s appearance was as hp puts it in today’'s edition: “Mere was a mountain guide who ought to be something better, a man you would trust your sons to on a company holiday, a man you would trast your daughter to anywhere.” . Gene's speech is described as a triumph of sincerity that carried all before it. The speaker is character- ised as 'an orator to whom words are music.’ Honors to Mcet New York Boxer in New Haven New Haven, Aug. 30 —The climb of Billy Wallace 1o a place in the front rank of lightweight title con- tenders may be seriously hampered when he appears it the New Ha- ven Arena next Thursday night, September 6, for a 10 round bout topping an all-star card.
