TUNNEY ID TRAIN
 TODAY IN SECRET
Contender Has Last Workout
 Before Crowd Of 7,O0O

Stroudsburg, Pa. Sept. 20 P)- i Three-score members of the Glen
 Brook Country club are regarded
 with envy by their fellow citizens of
 Stroudsburg today. Country club
 members with paid-up cards have
 privileges denied the public. They
 can catch flceting glimpses of Gene | Tunney as he goes about his work
 of completing his preparations for
 his championship bout with Jack
 Depsey Thursday night. Those
 outside the executive fold of the Golf club cannot even
 hear the thud of the blows de- | liyered by the leather pushers.
 The challenger made his farewell
 public appearance yesterday when | he put on a great show for an en-
 thusiastic gathering of 1000 and to-
 day started under cover the final 1 phase of his offensive against the 1 heavyweight champion. The Glen | Brook club is several hundred yards ! from the main highway and during i the next few days the road leading | to the club will be private in fact
 as well as in theory. Only club
 members and newspapermen can 1 get inside the club grounds. A long f distance view Of the restricted ring l is offered from the first tee of the ! golf course but a narrow fairWay with heavy bouGhs on both sides so ! with business on this tee that in the main the contender's wish for elev-
 cnth hour privacy is being satisfied. The task of putting the finishing
 touches on the contender's training will go steadily forward to the very | day of the supreme test. Boxing i will be on the program tomorrow
 and although only light work is an- ! ticipated for Wednesday 1t will be only a half holiday.
 The aspirant for pugilism's great ! est gift had plenty of exercise yes l terday. After a modified tenure Of road work, he boxed four full
 rounds in the afternoon and then, i just before darkness plotted out the course. accepted a challenge from 1 Trainer Lou Fink for a few holes i of golf.
 The golf germ Is making its pres ' ence felt in the camp. Fink and all the sparring partners have had a ! try at the sport but the microbe has also scored a decision over one man generally believed to be impervious
 to it's deadly bite. Frank Pants Lawrence, the Adirondack guide who is general utility man in the out
 fit, finally succumbed and to the consternation of his training camp rivals. turned in snappy 5S over the difficult nine-hole course. Thor
 oughlv familiar with the rod, gun, and canoe paddle, the speculator
 man became acquainted with golf club for the first time here.
 Tunney will return to Strouds-
 burg after Thursdays bout, win, lose or draw. He plans 10 remain
 here several days dismantling the camp.

Augusta Man to
Undergo Serious
Operation One of Many

The hope that the amputation of

formed at a hospital in WATERFOWL,
Mass, the first of this week, will be
the last of a series of operations
covering a period of four years. has
been expressed by Roy f. Savage,
formerly of this city. Mr. Savage
who is now a resident of WATERFOWL
was injured in June 1922. while at
work at Newton Falls, n. Y, on a
building project. and has been
obliged to undergo operation after
operation in an effort to recover tho
use of his leg.
At that time he was knocked from
the roof of a power house by. the
bucket of a crane and fell II feet,
striking upon a railroad track. A
double compound fracture of both
bones of the leg was suffered at that
time and dirt and cinders were
ground into the wound which result
ed from the fall. The injury failed
to heal and after many operations
the insurance company which was
paying him compensation ordered
that he be taken to New York for
treatment He was under the care
Of specialist for three months, dur
ing which time the leg was broken
and reset and a steel brace was
placed about it. This was in 1924
and since that time he has been I'M

Finally he decided that an amputa-
ton would be the best method of
caring for this injury once for all.
He is a veteran of the Spanish
American war and served in the
Philippines with the United States
cavalry. He is a carpenter and con-
struction foreman and hopes that
with the aid of an artificial foot he
will be able to work at his trade. He
has already been given compensa-

claimed additional compensation for
