mauled up by Jack Johnson, July Fourth, 10.
Gene Tunney won a fair pot-enough to keep
him until he gets the long end of the gate at the
next fight, when he will probably rejon his friends
at Greenwich.
Jack Dempsey, the roughneck, with his store
features the ace of firstraters, the favorite Of
every fight fan in the land, on whom they staked
their dimes and their dollars lost like piker to
a poor secOndrater, whom he fought for revenue
only
Tunney, the handsome Greenwich Intellectual,
won because he could not help it-Dempsey simply
wasn't there
Jack said, "The best man won": poor COM
pliment for the Greenwicher and a shameful con-
fession for Jack.
The ex-champiOn went into the ring unfit, a
travesty of his former SELF animated by no spirit
for the fight, sustained only by the urge of the
gate receipts His first blow confessed the fact
that his arm had lost it's punch and his will had
lost it's steel-that he is "has been.'
Jack is married now and lives at Hollywood with
a beautiful movie actress. He has had his face

money. He had net been in the ring for two years
or three and he did not relish having his "hand-
me-dOwn" features all mussed up with his nifty
probocis "cauflowered" allover his classic counte-
nance But being business man he could not sur
render the belt without a fight and the gate He
wanted the grist but he did not banker to even
pay the price to get fit.
So Jack battened his wallet, the bookies made
fat haul, and the champions curb hackers got
badly stung.
Jack at thirty-one, caressed by Fame and fauned
on by Fortune, retires if ignobly, a rich man.
Now if he can only hang onto #?
Iunney will not linger on the lap of Fame nor
nestle in the bosom of Fortune-the first pug that
meets him is going to take the belt and annex
his crown.
