SPORT
CHAT

The general opinion expressed By
sport followers regarding the coming
Dempsey Tunney scrap Is to the ef-
feet that the battle will be very short
and not very sweet for the chal-
lenger. The way the most Of the
fans have it sized UP Is that the bout
will go anywheres from three to
eight rounds, depending on whether
Gene takes the offensive or goes in
with the intention of staying a willis
with the champion.
However, we believe that the fight
will go lot longer than most people
give it credit for going. Tunney is
the toughest fighter Dempsey has
met since he became champion, not
excepting Firpo, Brennan or Will
lard. Willard had a big bulk, Bren-
nan a tough skin and Firpo a hard
wallop which he only landed once
with all his force all the while he
was in America and that once was
on Dempsey's brow.
Tunney is a good boxer, as fast as
Tom Gibbons and a harder puncher
than Wills. The fight should be a
lengthy one and Dempsey. by virtue
Of wallop that spells punishment
every time it lands, will probably
cop the verdict, although II Tunney
wins the victory will be the popular
one The marine has the heartiest
good will of almost every fan in the
country. not excepting Harry Wills

CORBETT WILL
FIGHT BOUT WITH
ALL HIS power

Philadelphia, Aug. % R-J Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney will not
fight for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world on the grounds of
the sesqui- exposition on
Sept. %, If James J. Corbett, former
heavyweight champion. can prevent
it.
Claiming that he has a prior claim
an exclusive right to promote a
heavyweight title contest in the ex-
position stadium. given him by
David c. Collier, former director
general of the sesqui-Corbett indi-
Gated here yesterday that he would
seek the aid of the courts to keep
Tex Richard and his associate pro-
motors from carrying out their fight
program.
Corbett and his attorney, John H.
McDevitt, Jr., conferred here yes
terday after which McDevitt said he
would bring court action against the
promoters of the Dempsey Tunney
bout. McDevitt said he was not sure
whether the action would take the
form Of suit for damages or for an
injunction.
McDevitt issued a statement criti-
cizing Mayor Kendrick for having
first objected TO a proposed Demp-
sey-Wills title match and later COM
ing out in favor of the Dempsey
Tunney bout. Corbett termed his
treatment here as a clip on the
jaw and said the only thing to do
was to fight back.
In the absence Of Tex Richard,
who has returned to New York be-
fore the conclusion of the McDevitt-
w., -
partner of Richard in the Philadel-
phia venture, said he refused to be-
come excited over threats of law
suits.
In the meantime another threat
ened opposition to the Dempsey
Tunney match has been smoothed
over, and the local boxing promot-
ing firm of Taylor and Gunnis, which
also had claimed an exclusive ar
rangement to conduct bouts in the
stadium, annouced that it had FORM
ed a partnership with Richard and
Aronson and would cooperate with
them in making the fight a success.
While those connected with the
fight, officially and unofficially, were
having their innings here, events
having a bearing on the contest
were taking place elsewhere. After
several days of looking over sites for
new training camp for Tunney,
Billy Gibson, the challengers man
ager, announced he had selected the
Glenbrook Country Club at Strouds-
burg, Pa, near the Delaware Wat
er Gap. Tunney is due at the camp
next Tuesday. Dempsey has been at
his new camp at Atlantic City for
the last two days.
The second interesting event took
place at Harrisburg where Governor
Pinchot announced the removal of
Charles Fred White, Negro member
of the state athletic commission. In
letter to White the governor said
he removed him because White had
failed to live up to promise to re-
frain from discussing disputed box
ing questions in the newspapers.
/ White was the only member of the
commission who refused to approve
the Dempsey Tunney match, claim
ing that the champion should first
meet Harry Wills. 1t was said at the
governors Office. however, that his
action was not prompted by any part
taken by White in the negotiations
to hold the Dempsey Tunney fight
here.
