, deciding on the Marines as the
branch of service he preferred. he
simply took the placards literally
when he read:
BE Marine be the first to fight"
Remains Buck Private.
As Il matter Of fact Gene never was
successful in getting under fire. Also,
| though he probably had Opportuni-
! ties to acquire rank. despite his
! modest denials to the contrary. he
remained a buck private all the many
months of his service
OF course he was in reality some
thing more than a mere buck private.
He was the boxing champion or the
A. T.. +. Gene did not take kindly to
| the boxing assignment at first. He
had Gene abroad to fight and not box
| for his country. He was little more
than a string bean" kid, and while
he had engaged in five preliminary
bouts professionally before joining the
Marines he had no special interest at
| the start in boxing while over there.
Boxing. however, was a compulsory
| part of the military training. and IN
the company bouts Gene could not
disguise his natural aptitude for the
sport. These bouts led to intercom-
pany bouts and before he realized IT.
Gene Tunney had gained real fame
among the forces in France for his
| fistiC ability.
And after the armistice had been
signed Gene Tunney was called on to
represent his battalion in the A. r. +.
tournament. Then came the bouts
with Bob Martin and Ted Jamis0n
that led to the winning of the A. r. r.
| light heavyweight boxing title. Incl
dentally, though 1T Is not generally
| known, Gene came near to meeting
/ Georges Carpenter while he was still
abroad in the service. Gus Wilson,
who trained Dempsey for his last fight
and who formerly acted as trainer for
Georges, told me the story the other
day.
Carpenter Declines Bout.
"A match was proposed to Georges
with the American champion. said
Gus. 1T was a much smaller and
different looking Tunney than the one
! that | saw climb into the ring against
Dempsey. But Georges couldn't see
the meeting at that time. He said he
had fought long enough for nothing.
Some five years later Carpenter was
to meet Tunney. Georges got a lot
of money for that fight. while Gene
| got only $6.S00 for his end. Still 1t
| set him on the road to a match with
| Dempsey. So maybe it was all for
| the best.
| For maybe Father Duffy, though he
may never have seen the new cham
pion while in France, knew best
whereof he spoke when he said, Gene
! Tunney, as champion boxer Of the
world, you have it in your power to
do more good for the youth Of our
land than all the preachers in the
world"
And the task has not fallen into the
| wrong hands.

MUST TAKE PROPER
CARE OF ANIMALS ON
EXHIBIT IN The STATE

Complaint has been made to the nsh
and game department of the practice
of keeping at some of the roadside
resorts small bears and other animals
chained up, or in close quarters, with
out shade or proper care. Many OF
the nonresident visitors passing these
resorts criticize the conditions of the
animals, calling it cruel pracuce
and cheap way to attract attention.
unless at all times proper care Is
taken of such dumb animals.
The department of inland fisheries
and game has been asked to take such
action as it within its jurisdiction In
such cases.
Such wild animals as are native TO
Maine, properly housed and in good
condition. may be an attraction TO
MANY visitors, especially to children,
lint the least show of neglect or cru
city destroys all interest except de-
sire to have them liberated and al
lowed to return to the freedom OF their
native element in the wilderness.
All parties not providing suitable
quarters for their dumb animals, Wlld
or otherwise. are subject to prosecu-
ton by the Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. and the revocation
of any permit issued from the depart
ment of inland fisheries and game in
regard to the keeping of wild, or fur
bearing animals.

Ebert d. Hayford, Saturday, refer
ring to an article in a Lewiston pa
per Friday stating that Ernest L.
Mclean. Democratic candidate for

cOuntant from Boston is making an
investigation and that startling de-
Vplopments would be forthcoming
shortly.
at is my belief that the State is
in very healthy financial condition
and that such an investigation. if
fairly conducted, VIII snow that the
present administration has been one
OF the strictest economy. For ex-
ample. during the last six months Of
Governor Bakers administra ton
about S430,000 was expended from
the State contingent fund. Gov
ernor Bl ewster and his Council have
gone through the year with less than
Sl71,0OO expended from the same
source, fact which speaks for
itself.
we will be very glad to place all
information which is required by
anyone who cares to look over the
books of the auditors department at

Find Girl Dazed
After Hit by Auto

Portland, July 10.-Lying in a
stupor for seven hours under a
piazza within 40 feet of her own
home. while her family and police
officers conducted a frantic search
for her, Arlene White, IA. of 241 b
street, is believed by the police to
have been placed there by the driver
of an automobile which struck her
while she was on her way to near
by store on an errand for her mother.
The girl, finally discovered by her
eight-year- old brother. told her fam
lily that she had been struck by an
automobile as she crossed the street
in front of her home. Scratches on
her left arm and leg seemed to veri-
fy her story that she had been struck
by something.
When questioned, she was unable
to give a description Of the car she
stated struck her other than sit was
an open one" Her story and the
scratches lead the police to believe
that she was struck by machine
and that the driver placed her un-
der the piazza and then disappeared.
