HOT PENNANT RACES

NEW YORK, June 15.-The Ameri-
can Association seethed with JOY
giving activities for fans the past
week.
Louisville got on a rampage. as the
ColonelS had been threatening to do
for some time. and slipped into first
place. The Kansas City club got into
the first division for the first time
this season, only to ooZe out again.
Milwaukee slid into the second di
vision June 10. while Toledo slipped
into the first division at the very end
of the week.
The race is so tight that about the
only thing so far determined with any
thing like certainty is the probability
that Columbus will not finish out
front.
In the Southern Association. New
Orleans. Atlanta and Nashville held
the fort. Birmingham was the only
first division club that found the pace
too hot to hold. 1t begins to look
as If the great fight would be to hold
New Orleans down. The Crescent
City team is pretty well ahead.
The Western League race continues
one of the most thrilling of the lot.
Oklahoma City was on top at the week
end, but nearly every club in the cir
cult has had the honor at one time
or another.
Baltimore succeeded in ousting To-
ronto from first place in the Inter
national. The one big fact in this
race is that Jack Dunn of Baltimore

Now on Vacation
Just now Tunney Is spending a va
cation out in Dayton, playing golf
with former Gov. Cox of Ohio and
having a fine time generally.
No finer type of man ever drew on
boxing gloves. Any novelist or play
right seeking an ideal hero for
story or play of the ring would find
in Gene a model made to order. Well
educated, handsome as a Gibson

he would have been to any sport in
which he might have happened &c
shine.
Weight and strength are the assets
he needs to carry him to his highest
pugilistic ambitions.
Evening star., 1925-06-15

Coming right down to 1t, IT seems
strange that Tunney is the only man
of all those who returned to civil life
from the war with the love and
knowledge of boxing instilled who has
attained success and fame with his
fists.
Five million men under arms and
out of that host one champion. Hold
ing the American light-heavyweight
title, Gene can be world light-heavy
king any time the present holder,
Berlenbach, can get UP his courage to
meet him.
And it is not unlikely that some day
Tunney will hold the world heavy
weight title.
Fought Before War.
With regard to Tunney's career as
a soldier 1t might be interesting to
dip into some problem Of this sort:
If it took 100000 men at arms to
produce one champion, how big an
army would it require to provide
champions for all the weight divi-
SionS?
AS a matter of fact, Tunney did not
gain his first boxing experience in the
Army. He fixes the date of his first
bout as having occurred in 1919, in
the data he submitted for the official
boxing records. but the truth is he

donned his uniform.
Two of the ones that he recalls
were with K. o. Jaffe and Young
Guarini. the last of which he fought
in May, 1918. He knocked Guarini
out and celebrated his feat by joining
the marines the very next day.
Tunney's outfit was sent to Paris
Island and here he fell into the hands
of AL Wambsganss and Al Thompson,
boxing instructors at the camp. But
Gene did not stay long enough at the
South Carolina island, being shipped
to Quantico for further training. Two
months after he enlisted he was in
France.
Tunney's outfit was absorbed by
the 3rd French Division and, what
with training and the like. Tunney
had no time for boxing, nor even for
thoughts of boxing.
When the armistice was signed
Gene was stationed at Romonentin
