Handlers Fear Possibility of Overtraining Challenger for Heavy Crown. CHAMP IN GOOD SHAPE Tunney Administers Punishment to Three Partners. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Gene Tunney prepared for his second public boxing session today ami a third Wednesday without fear of becoming “stale,” while at Jaofc Dempsey’s training camp the possibility of overtraining caused a halt in activity. Manager Leo Flynn announced his charge would not box any more until late in the week for this reason. Dempsey's future sessions with his sparring partners between now and his meeting with Tunney Sept--22 also will be closed to the public Flynn said, because Jack doesn’t like the crowds. Tunney’s handlers were not worried over the champion boxing too much, however, and If tjie six rounds he worked Monday mean anything they are absolutely right. Gene punished three members of his squad vigorously. The speed and accuracy of his left and his right cross were not to be denied. Frank Muskie of St. Paul was in bad shape after dodging those flying gloves, and Chuck Wiggins stepped in to do his share. Wiggins fared better. After working with the Indianapolis heavyweight, Gene boxed with Billy Vidabeck of Bayonne, N. J., and “outdanced” Vidabeck through a fast two rounds. In spite of the fact he was merely the challenger and no longer the champion, Dempsey drew a larger crowd at his workout than did Tunney, perhaps because transportation facilities from the city to the south side camp are better. The 5,000 present saw him go through four rounds with as many partners. He battered Allentown Joe Gans, Jim McCann and Benny Krueger, but was bested by Osk Till when he started what Manager Flynn called “practicing blocking lefts.”
