Tomorrow nights ring card at
Kenilworth, the last of the season,
in which Al Foreman meets Joe

Souza, is a fun blooded Portuguese
from Sacramento, Cal.
Harry Groves, who takes part in
the six-round semi-final, is Of Eng
Iish extraction while his opponent,
Eddie Di Simon, is OF French blood.
Joe Perrone, booked in four

Johnny Walker, is a Welshman
raised in Texas. Paul Healey, who
meets Sailor Burger, is Irish, while
the sailor is of German extraction.
Joe Piscatelli, who steps in a four
rounder is Irish, his opponent,
Young Erich, being Of Swiss
descent. Kid Woodie and his
opponent, Battling Bauman, are
both American negroes.
With the season to close to.

The soldiers opponent. Joe Souza,
provides AL with his first New

But as intensely interesting as
Gems Tuney's own study of that
Dempsey battle is. that is not
necessarily the high spot in this
most original of all sporting auto
biographies
For most people. the real drama
OF Gene Tunney's career lies in its
vivid imam Of destiny aspects
the big. good.natured white collar
worker" the shipping clerk who en-
listed in the u. S. Marines and
went to France when the biggest
fight OF all was on, showed his
first ring promise in army boxing
contests overseas, and there first
dreamed that a genuine fighting
son of Uncle Sam would some day
be the king of all the worlds fistic
fighters!
1t is the dramatic and vivid
way in which, Tunney describes
this imam of destiny" phase of
his career that will entrance you.
From his early childhood days in
New York he describes that slow
but sure march to the champion.
ship. d,
You win be positively amazed as
you read these chapters to think
that such a genial nature-so pa
cific and studious that his beloved
mother and others thought he
should be priest-could ever be
associated with the supposed feroc-
fly OF the professional boxing ring.
However, Tunney was always ath-
letic and he took to boxing for fun
even before he joined the Marines.
But it was as a Devil Dog" at
Paris Island and in France that he
began to learn the fine points Of the
rugged fistic game.
Scores OF hitherto unpublished
incidents and anecdotes are re-
lated i'm Tunney's own story. You
will find it one of the most re-
markable self-reveIatiOns of per-
sonality ever written.
! Tunney's life story is the most in
feresting story ever written by a
champion or any other sporting
celebrity. Look for every chapter
exclusively in The Washington
Times, starting next Thursday.

picked the Cards to win yesterday
and they grabbed a handful. They
had an. old man pitching for st.
Louis who can use his beard for
pa jamas. His name was Alexander
and he famed ten of them Yanks
including Babe Ruth, who didn't
do no more at the bat than vege-
tartan does at a barbecue.
Alex was in great shape and must
have had plenty of starch in his
sleeves. There wasn't one Yank,
hardly what. could smack the ball
out of the infield. Urban Shocker
pitched for the Yanks but ran out
Of strikes. He had a pitchers
battle with the umpires instead OF
the batters.
Say, there is one guy who de-
serves plenty of notice. That tsIr-
key Is Billy SOuthWorth. a mule
what was dropped from the Giant
stable because he couldn't pull on
a hill. He helped the Cards win
the pennant and now he is help
ing them win the world serum.
He didn't do much for the first
six innings but he was waiting.
There amt no use springing the
trap until the fox is in the box.
He hung around until the seventh
when there was two men on bases
and then he slugged homer into
the bleachers. Ruth jumped for
the ball but he should have been
a paperhanger with a step ladder.
1t dropped just over his head into
mob of cash customers.
That was the finish of Shocker.
The Cards is shocker absorbers.
They also absorbed Shawkey and
Jones. That's plenty pitchers for
pitch but I refused to win the
game for him. I am now a St.
Looey rooter until they lose.
There was good fielding on both
sides but the neatest piece of house
keeping was Hornsby's catch of
the Babes liner in the last inning.
Alex had 'eased up by then and
was throwing gumdrops. That Alex
guy doesn't do his best unless there
is men on bases. I pick him to
pitch again around Thursday and
then he might let a few kinks ouA
of his arm.
remember when / was a little
boy my father took me to see
Alex pitch against team of
Civil War veterans. Right now
I say that il Alex had been
pitching for Richmond then Grant
would never have taken 1t. He
is the greatest pitcher ever
see, except myself.
When the Cubs let Alex go they
must have been loco. They kicked
him right into a world serum and
plenty OF dough. The same thing
happened with Dutch Ruether. The
Senators booted him into the Yanks'
lap and now Dutch Is on easy
street with a trolley line right at
his door.
/ am going to st. Looey tonight
with the teams and it takes a
whole day to get there. So there
won't be no game today which
gives you a chance to cool off the
radio.
will tell you all about the
serum just as soon as 1t happens.
The serum is eyens up with one
game each. If it goes TO seven
games l will pitch for any team
that wants 10 lose.
Ny arm is as good as ever and
don't show no signs of getting
well. But il Alex keeps up the
Cards won't need me because the
hay will be in the barn.

It's all

HOW much fun you get out of pipe
depends largely on one thing: the to-
bacco. The pipe itself is the accessory,
after all. The tobacco's the thing.
That's why the most contented bunch
of smokers in the world smoke Prince
Albert exclusively.
The instant you open tidy red tin
of P. A., you know this tobacco is unlike
any other. That warm, rich fragrance!
Only real tobacco could give off such
an appetizing aroma. You are com.
pletely won to P. A. when you smoke
that first load.
