Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. April 20.—You arc sitting back in Gene Tunney’s dressing room at Soldiers’ Field, Chicago. It is the night of the long count, The elegant champion is pulling off the hand bandages and Lou Fink, his trainer, is blotting up large globular beads of belligerent perspiration. Tunney turnes to James (Bow-
tie) Bronson, his chief second the man, to whom he looked when Jack Dsmpsey dropped him and the man who motioned to him to stay down until the count reached nine. “Well?” smiled Tunney “we did it again.” “Y r cs, but you were lucky,” answered Bow-Tie.
*
Williams
A considerable percentage of the peasantry who had watched Tunney sit out a waltz, a fox trot and a Boston marathon while Referee Barry fumbled the mathematics would have agreed with him. tt tt tt ' But James Bow-Tie was referring to something else. "You were lucky you had an old man in there against you,” he went on. "If Dempsey had been able to move around on those props of his he would have whipped you. You were 35 per cent off.” tt tt tt OUT of the incident grew Tunney’s announced determination to fight twice this year. James Bow-Tie convinced him that twelve months of inactivity cut too deeply into his fighting skill and that if he was going to keep at the top of his stride he would have to fight oftener. Now it develops he isn’t going to fight twice. He’s only going to fight once, and he’s going jo make this fight against a man who has had the most active year of any of the heavyweigts. If, as James Bow-Tie avers. Tunney was 35 per cent off at Chicago as compared to the Philadelphia fight, and this was caused by lack of competition, how' far will he be off against the Irish-Australian?. Os course it may develop that he can be off 70 per cent and still win but that is something else. St tt It occurred to me that the opinion of James Bow-Tie, who was with Tunney when he won the title, with him again when he defended it and no doubt will be with him again in July, might be enlightening. tt tt “T STILL think he’s making a misJL take in fighting only once,” he said. “I know w'hat a lay-off does to him. He w r as missing with his right hand all during the Chicago fight. “For seven rounds he w'as floundering. He seemed to get going a bit in the fourth and then bogged down again. It wasn't until he had taken that paste on the chin and gotten up that he began to fight up to his real form. From then on he looked like a champion. “They tell you he doesn’t have to be good to whip Heeney. Well, I think he does. Heeney is no mug. He’s come fast since he landed here and he’s added to his confidence along w r ith his ability. Another thing, he’s dead game.” tt n tt “There’s one thing Tunney must do,” he said. ‘He must get a couple of real heavyweights In his training camp—a couple of fellows who can give him a lot of troublt. In other words, it is up to him to get from his training the equivalent of at least one actual fight before he steps into the ring.” a tt tt f A ND what if he doesn’t?” “Well, if he doesn’t he’ll look worse than he did at Chicago and if he looks any worse than that he won’t be able to lick a postage stamp.” From this one deduced that James Bow-Tie has formed a very low estimate of the fighting qualities of stamps. He may be right about that. He may be right' about the supposed perils Tunney faces. At any rate his views are interesting—and unusual. A champion’s chief second Is always supposed to be a confirmed optimist. Os course, this may merely be another phase of the old bally-hoo. You never can tell.

mg counsels in a clinch over con- j For the benefit of the boxing; world, Dempsey reiterated that he would not enter the ring again even if he lost the suit. “Nothing could make me fight again," Dempsey said. Dapper Jack Kerns is the only important witness who has not been called to the stand, and it is his testimony that may eventually decide the outcome of the suit. It was learned indirectly that Kearns will take the stand Monday. Jack Dempsey took the stand three times in the opening day and was glad when thep lalntiff’s counsel released him. He chewed gum, moving his jaws feverishly when lrv was not answering a question. Questions about how much money he made out of the Tunney fight, about Gene Normiles relationship with him while he was preparing for this fight and about his exhibition tour of Europe bothered. Jack. He was evasive and qualified all of his statements pertaining to money. Tex Rickard; Billy Gibson, manager of Gene Tunney; Lou Raymond, former associate manager of Harry Wills; Burt Stand, secretary of the New York State athletic commission; Bernard E. Arnold, Saratoga Springs notary public, and Dan H. Skilling, former secretary of the New York athletic commission, were other witnesses.

Friday’s hero: Ty Cobb, the veteran outfielder, who displayed to champion New York Yankees that he was far from through as one of the game’s great figures. He hit safely twice and both times the hits figured in the two runs that gave the Philadelphia Athletics a 2-to-l victory over the Yankees, the A’s first victory of the season. While Earl Whitehlll held the St. Louis Browns to four hits his teammates batted out a 3-to-0 victory. Easterling got his third home run in as many days. McManus also hit a home run. The St. Louis Cardinals made seven consecutive base hits after two were out in the seventh inning and piled up five runs, enabling them to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates. 6 to 2.
