Tunney meets Tom Gibbons, ST.
Paul heavyweight, Friday night in
a 15-round bout at the Polo Grounds
and he believes the winner will be
entitled to claim a position next to
Dempsey in the class.
II feel confident am going to be
the next champion he said. II
know I can beat anyone who wants
to claim the title and I believe I
can beat Dempsey If he ever fights
again.
I'm through with the light
heavyweight class" Tunney said.
1.-THE title meant very little as it
isn't seriously taken and 1 never
got any real money out of it. The
big money and the honor Is In the
heavyweight title, and I'm going
after it."
IT am confident can beat Glib
1ons. I am bigger than he is and
stronger.
'Gibbons went fifteen rounds with
Dempsey when the champion was
rusty from 4dleness and he lasted
the route, because he remained en-
tirely on the defensive. If he fights
that way against me I know I can
outpoint him. because no decision
can be given justly for defensive
fight. If he opens UP and lights I'm
sure I'll knock him out"

WHERE A SMALL MINORITY
BLOCKS A WORTHY MEASURE

1t is sturdy, though uphill, fight
that the New Jersey Audubon So
ciety has waged for ten years to
prevent the slaughter in this state
Of that blithe little songster, the
hoholink or reedbird. And it is a
sadly enlightening commentary on
legislative processes that the de-
sires Of very small minority of
the people, expressed through a
few influential politicians, have so
far prevailed against it.
Leaving sentiment out of it, put
ting aside that the organized sports
men of the state are opposed to kill
ing the bird, there is the fact that
the Migratory Bird Treaty and all
ornithologists unite in classifying
the bobolink as insectivorous. AS
such it is of value in New Jersey
and it is the birds status in New
Jersey that is at issue.
The Audubon bill of this year,
Senate No, 81 is in the hands of
the Senate committee on game and
fish. Whether it will have chance
for its white alley on the floor
of the Senate remains to be seen.
1t ought to have and it ought to
be passed. Newark Evening News.
