Wills Challenges the
Victor.

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 i'm 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
fighters 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
for opposing the contest between
Dempsey and Wills was because
Dempsey was not in a condition to
meet fighter of Wills pugilistic
ability and caliber seems to be borne
out by the poor showing he made in
Philadelphia, September 30, 1926,
when at the end of ten rounds in a
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 tenround match
that went the limit and furnished
one Of the greatest upsets in boxing

you just the same"
