By KIRK MILLER
(Times Sports Editor)

STROUDSBURG, Pa, Sept
is. Gentleman Gene Tunney,
the philosopher Of the Pocono
Peaks, training here in the
famous Delaware Gap vacation
area for his fight with Jack
Dempsey next Thursday night
at Philadelphia, deserves and
needs the sympathy of the
entire United States and more
particularly the United States
Marines.
Tunney's Chance Slim
For Gentleman Gene Tunney
the well-known and proverbial
Chinaman's chance to win from
Jack Dempsey and anyone who
has been watching the challenger's
training during these tapering-
off days will verify the above
speculation.
And it is not entirely Genes
fault. 1t is the fault of his
manager and trainer. Pilot
Billy Gibson, fine old gentleman
that he is, and Trainer Lou Fink,
excellent little attendant that he
tries to be, are and have been
running around in circles.
Either they don't know the
process by which thorougnbre d
human flesh is brought around
into proper physical condition. or
else they are held back by finan-
cial or other harassment-but the
facts remain the same-gentleman

more and more apparent with

The best of a poor lot is Jimmy

heavy enough to bring the chal-
lenger up to the required standard.
Delaney weighs about 1853.

The only other sparring mate in
the camp worth a dime is Billy
Vidabeck. and he isn't worth a
nickel
Then there is another third rater
by the name of Harold Mays, and
everyone, knows that Harold is no
name for fighter.
The next fault we have to find
with the bum business at Strouds-
burg is the inefficency Of little Lou
Fink, who means we'll enough. but
doesn't seem to know what it is
all about.
