His mother, Mrs. Mary Tunney,

fantastic butterfly that had nut
tered into a slaughter-house.
Tunney, a second-class defensive
boxer. couldn't stay away from
him. Dempsey kept leading, follow
ing, plunging in and missing mile,
and Tunney had to strike at him
through a sense Of shame. II
would have been q sin not to hit
him under the circumstances.
Dempsey scarcely laid a glove on
Tunney. The few times that ne
did connect. always at the start OF
A round, those blows which OK old
were /enough to send the crowd
home were steamless, spiritless and
stinRless. No power, no heart. no
soul in them. Dempsey may have
entered the ring with an honest
desire and intention to win, but 1t
failed him after the first counter
punch that nailed him ON his nice
new nose.
After that he stalled, with an
occasional sporadic furry Of go
ing through the gestures Of light
ing.
The whole tragedy just showed
again that being a champion spoils
good fighter, and keeping out Of
the ring kills a champion.
Dempsey never was much shucks
against a fighter that kept NOV
ing, and Tunney did that--he kept
moving, mostly backward but still
kept moving. Jack loves them big,
anchored and flat-footed. Tunney
is none of these. He made a
sucker out OF our Jack, being made
to order for the job.
The first good heavyweight that
meets Tunney will beat him. At
best he is one OF the better lighter
heavy men, no matter what his
weight. Mum, Hanson, Person
not to say Wills-would. swallow
him like an oyster. And he is the
heavyweight champion today. Any
way, the bookies paid off on him.

hookey--as indeed, he had. for more
than two years.
Even then he never assumed the
aggressive, except in the last two
rounds, when he had the champion-
ship in his hand and should have
taken no chances.
An astoundingly stupid fighter
is this Tunney. He won every
round from what had been a truly
miraculous champion. and yet he
came forth convicted Of almost
every nisdemeanor known to smart
ring generalship. He could have
knocked Dempsey out in the first
round IL he had forced his way;
he should have dispatched him in
any of the following rounds. But
when he had the world to gain he
was careful. and when he was
already champion before the deci'

resources upon the struggle. We are
quite unconsciously, as in the rubber

with nation which is fighting for its

slightly to acquire and retain markets
for a surplus production. And we are
drifting into the struggle without the
smallest real appreciation of the eI-

unperceived determination.

leadership-that may or may not come
about as conditions develop in tho fu-

always there.
Mr.. Hoover's rubber action, too, has
had double effect. 1t has enormously
embittered British opinion, while the
suggestion Of possible reprisal in the
direction Of the Limitation Of cotton
production, for example, has been
taken quite seriously as presaging a
real conflict. The result Is the grow

eventual Anglo-American economic
