Tunney Needs More To Defeat Dempsey (United Press Service) New York, June 19 — Friends of Gene Tunney—and he has a tremendous personal following—are enthus-l ed over his chances of ascending to the heavyweight championship of the world, Tunney’s knockout victory over Tom Gibbons, a boxer who had never been knocked off his feet before, elevated him into a place among the leading rivals of Jack Dempsey, but it is possible that too much is being made over the class shown by Tunney in that fight. Tunney fought a cool, calculating fight against Gibbons and he flashed some very fine boxing, but he did not impress the critics with his punching. It is true that he knocked Gibbons out. but it was not the Gibbons who had stayed fifteen rounds with Dempsey. It was a Gibbons aged by two more years and a Gibbons that was I exhausted from the heat and harried by worry over the condition of a wife I on the point of death at home. Gibbons could have been pushed over by a lightweight in the twelfth round of the contest, as he was so completely exhausted that his legs collapsed under him and he couldn’t lift his arms. He went out very much like Jess Wi‘ lard did in the Firpo fight although he made a much more gallant effort to get his feet than Willard did. Tunney will have to get more steam in his punches if he is to beat Dempsey before the champion goes the way of Gibbons through age or inactivity, and he will have to punch hard er if he is to beat Jimmy Slattery, Harry Wiils, Paul Berienbach, or some of the others who may dispute his claim for first crack at the championship. Tunney has a few defects as a fight er and in the clever hands of Billy Gibson and George Engle these defects should be polished off by experience. Personally Tunney is on< , est characters in the game. He has , been a credit and success will not , spoil him. He is a war veteran, who served with honor in France as atnem- , her of the Marines. He is a product of . the down town Irish settlement in Ne w York, and if he should get to the top he would be one of the most populsr of all the heavvyweight champions. After Gibbons had been knocked out Eddie Kane, his manager. said-’Tf Tom ( had to go. I’m glad it was Gene Tun- ( ney who beat him. He’s a good, clean fighter and a fine fellow." The defeat of the veteran Mike Me- ( Tigue by young Paul Berienbach, just a week before Gibbons fell, gave philo- , sophers material fr more sermons on | the battle between ag and youth. MeTigue isn’t as old as Gibbons but he ( allowed his fighting machinery to rust ] through inactivity and rust is just is ,1 “‘ coiistitu’lon as : years. j Flat Rock Team Plays Walther Leaguers Sunday o— The Fiat Rock baseball team will play the Emmanus Walther League team form Fort Wayne on the Hoagland diamond next Sunday.

' o—————— — Annual Yale-Harvard < Race To Be Held Today by Henry L. Farrell, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New London, Conn., June 19 — ; (United press)—Yale swept the river with the first two races at the annual regatta with Harvard on the Thames river today. The Yale freshmen won by two lengths and the Yale junior ’varsity j crew finished wttji a lead of three lengths over the Harvard shell. New London, Conn.. June 19 — Yale, riding the waves of a remarkable string of athletic successes, is looking forward to another signal triumph over the ancient enemy Harvard, in the annual crew race on the Thames river today. z The west has grown out of the old reverence for eastern athletics, especially these that pertain to Yale and Harvard, but there is no event on the national sport calendar that can compare with the color and the spectacular trimmings of a Yale-Harvard boat race under good conditions. The two big ones of the ‘ Big three." ve both crews even if they do look btly bored when mention is made • seven other college eights that ving to row at Poughkeepsie y for the intercollegiate Champ-

| ion ship. Yale men will tell you. "we don't care about championships as long as !we can kick waves in the face of Harvard." Harvard men can’t boast much i about the very recent past of Harvard crews, but they insist that today will start Harvard on a run of prosperity. It is the policy of rowing coaches to tear their hair and weep the night before a race. Ed Leader, who has not lost a race since he answered the call of frantic Yale and came from Washington University to handle the Yale navy said today that the prospects looked very bad. Those without partisan views think that Yale will win the freshman and | varsity races and that Harvard will! cut in with a victory in the junior , varsity. It is estimated the race will be watched by a crow'd of 100,001). ♦ YESTERDAY’S RESULTS ♦ ♦♦♦♦+++++ + + + + + + _. National League Philadelphia, 5; Chicago, 1. Brooklyn, 6; Pittsburgh. 2.

‘‘Tensile Strength” Os Gasoline Is Estimated | Chicago, June 19 —Scientists have recenttly been working to figure out what has been called, for lack of a better term, the “tensile strength" of gasoline. To tow a motor car down the street requires a beavvy rope or a quarter-inch steel cable. Yet the "pull" that moves a niotoY car. under its own power at the rate of thirty miles an hour, is a thin | thread of gasoline no larger than a strand of finest silk. Lay 200 of these , streams of gasoline side by side and t they would only make a ribbon an inch wide. Or picture it another way. Draw a gallon of gasoline out into a thread ■ fifteen miles long and you illustrate | the idea. Engineers tell us that not more than 5 per cent of the gasoline under present engineering, is actually transformed into momentum. Imagine then the force pent up in a ten gallon tank of motor fuel, the thread of liquid whose pull will snap a cable made of stoutest piano wires. Laboratory men admit that so far nature has defeated their greatest cunning in efforts to devise a synthetic fuel of greater stored up energy at any competing cost. The tremendously increased demand for gasoline this vear is expected in quantity without limit hut can only be made at‘a considerable advance in cost over gasoline. o Sentenced Criminals Give Life History To Judge (United Press Service) Indianapolis, June 19 — Idleness, white mule and stolen automobiles frequently play an important part in starting men on the journey from criminal court to the state reformatory at Pendleton. This was revealed in the confessions of twenty-four men sentenced to the reformatory- by Judge Collfhs. Some of the men pleaded guilty when arraigned and the others admitted their guilt after being sentenced. -All were required upon arrival at the reformatory to write out the story of their crime ami their life histories and send them to Judge Collins. The information will be used by Judge Co lins in determining whether men will be recommended for parole after serving their minimum senten- ' ces. “After drinking some white mule we decided to rob a filling station," was the way one man began his story, , "One of the boys stole an auto and , we robbed a station and a drug store. We got only $56 in the two places." ) He admitted part in twelve robberies and was sentenced to ten years im- : prisonment. I “I had been idle for quite a while Iso my pal and 1 thought we would turn some easy money and rob a lunch ! counter. We stole an auto to make | a quick getaway but were caught after the holdup," reads the story of 1 another. A third man was seized with the idea of robbing a filling station while ' on his way home. He obtained $74 and was trailed to his home and arrested ' a few minutes later. It was the first time in his life he had broken the law. , _o —— S—S—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s

ENTIRE NATION PAYS TRIBUTE TO LA FOLLETTE (Continu ?d from Page one) sive movement today marked time. | Governor John J. Blaine, who is, spoken of as a possible candidate for' Latollette's seat in the senate, w 11 take the reins of the party. Robert M. Lafollette, Jr., chairman of the ' i state central committee, nominal head I of the party, will, it is expected, throw his support to Blaine. That Blaine can muster undivided ■ support of all elements in the party is regarded with doubt by polit cal observers. Wisconsin progressives have been split into two factors since 1923. Secretary of State Fred Zimmerman has generally been regarded as the spokesman of the anti-Blaine group. Attorney General Herman Ekern, who is reckoned as an administration supporter, is counted on to take a part in the struggle for control of the progressive organization. Ekern, a close friend of the dead senator may decide to make the race for the senate against Blaine in the fmthcorning special election. Election of Governor Blaine to tlie senate would place Lieut. Governor Henry Huber in the executive off ce. . •’L I - ~e becomes governor, consent to make the race to succeed himself, according to precedent or he may decide to enter the contest for United States senator.

Measures of the Northermost depths cause me to suppose with certainty that there is no land in the Norwegian sector of the polar basin." Flags Fly In Norway Oslo, Norway, June 19—Oslo was decorated with flags today while crowds in the streets toasted Roald Amundsen and his Norwegian pilot. Hjalmer Rlisen-Larsen, as national heroes. As details of Amundsen's exploit in flying to within apparently less than 00 miles of the north pole began to reach the public, the feat was received as a national triumph. The Norwegian parliament paid tribute to Amundsen and adopted a resolution to forward congratulations to the explorer. Meantime Mrs. Rliser-Larsen, wife of Amundsen’s pilot, whose home is in Oslo, was honored by the townspeople. Advices here describe Amundsen, Ellsworth and the four other members of the party as greatly fatigued and with bloodshot eyes, as they arrived at King’s bay on the fishing boat Sjoeliv. This craft picked up the party on the northernmost tip of Spitsbergen, where they had landed ! in a single airplane, with only a few ■ gallons of gasoline left, as they were I winging their way home. Slatting in two planes, one was abandoned at the furthermost north ■ point attained when it became stuck ' in the ice. the newspapers pointing ’out. in commenting upon dmigers injvolved in the return journey in a , single machine. I A rumor has also reached here that the planes, (N-24 and N-25) became separated at one time during i the northward journey. During the separation, according to this rumor. Lief Dietrichsen. pilot, and Mechanician Oscar Omdahl were nearly drowned,. They were rescued, by Lincoln Ellsworth, it is declared.
