PRISON UPSET
Tunney, The Champion.

The victory of Gene Tunney over
Jack Dempsey in the contest for the
heavyweight championship OF the
world has been apparently received
with favor. by the entire sporting
world, regardless of race or color,
politics or religion. Harry Wills, the
great heavyweight pugilist sat at the
ringside with mingled emotions and
saw Gene Tunney do what he had
spent many anxious months in hon.
ing to do,
Now there is new setting in the
picture. Tunney cannot feel salts
fled with the crown he has won until
he has removed from his path to
recognized pugilistic superiority, the
one dark shadow upon his title.
Wills has already challenged Gene
Tunney He, through his manager,
Paddy Mullins did SO before the two
/. lighters had entered the ring. There
is no other recognized contender for
the title but Harry Wills and Tun-
ney cannot refuse to meet him.
Can Harry Wills defeat Gene Tun-
ney? The reported statement of
William Muldoon of the New York
Commission that one of his reasons
ioi OppOoiHS Tie COHteSJ DSIWeeH
Dempsey and Wills was because
Dempsey was not in condition to
meet a fighter of Wills pugilistic
ability and caliber seems to be borne
out by the poor showing he made in
Philadelphia, September 90, 1925,
when at the end of ten rounds in
fight with Tunney, he was practical
ly helpless.
Ringside, Sesquicentennial Stadium,
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept 23.-Gene
Tunney, the fighting marine, is the
new heavyweight champion Of the
world. He dethroned Jack Demp-
sey. king for the last seven years,
tonight by smashing his way to de-
cisive victory in a ten-round match
that went the limit and furnished
one of the greatest upsets in boxing
history.
Dempsey, only shell of his old
fighting self. was outboxed and out
fought from start to finish, in q
one sided battle that was decided in
a driving rain before a record
crowd of $4,000 spectators.
Tunney won eight of the ten
rounds by margin so decisive that
no doubt was left of his suprem-
acy. the Associated Press score
sheet showed None of the rounds
was scored for the champion and
only in the sixth and seventh was
he conceded an even break. In
both OF these it was more case of
Tunney's cautiousness than Demp-
sey's own attack that affected the
a., scoring.
Dempsey entered the ring 4 to 1
favorite, backed as heavily as any
champion in history. Experts had
proclaimed him fit, in spite of his
three year lay-off, but except for
gallant stand and few flashes of
his old self, he was outclassed.
Dempsey was far from the furious
fighter, the "Tiger Man" who smash
ed his way to sensational victories
over Jess Willard, Georges Carpen-
tier and Louis Firpo. Gone was the
devastating punch, the furious ag-
gressiveness that marked him as one
of the most feared men In the ring.
The champions downfall, in the
disappointment of his showing, was
reminiscent of the defeat of James
J. Jeffries by Jack Johnson, in the
first heavyweight battle Tex Rick
ard ever promoted, in 1910. Demp-
sey, like Jeffries. went into the
ring big favorite, only to exhibit
little championship fighting quail
