particular visit dame opportunity is
accompanied by quite Il stalwart
young man, one Gene Tunney of
Greenwich village, whom. h e
Frenchman must sock on the button
before the girl is his.

reached the heights on his 10 years
of fistic endeavor when he got home
a right on Jack Dempsey's jaw in
Jersey City three years ago and
who has been going down hill ever
since, boxes Tunney at the Polo
Grounds in what ring followers be-
lieve will be his last appearance in
an important contcst-unless he
wins.

against the strength and youth of
his opponent.

at stake in this Is round bout, for
