TUNNEY IS SPENDING
ONE OF BUSIEST DAYS
BY the Associated Press.

STROUDSBTRG. Pa. September
9.-Gene Tunney's program today was
almost full enough to make up for
time lost in the holiday he took yes
terday.
Golf in the morning and eXplOra ton
of a POcono Mountain trail in the aft
ernOon, which he. counted on to bring
his condition back to what it was
Tuesday night, and six rounds of box
ing after lunch constituted his APP
petZer for dinner.
His routine on his regular after
noon appears nceS never varies. He
punches the bag for several rounds,
setting the pace for his spalring part
ners as they skip rope. The sparring
partners shadow box, but Tunney does
nothing in the ring. He does plenty
of shadow boxing in secret instead.
Much of this is done on morning
jaunts along the road. He then goes
into the boxing ring. a few feet from
the platform on which are the punch.

eight rounds of boxing.

Dempsey. TO he more explicit. has

trying to keep pace with them. This
has tended to make the wo-handed
battler miss more than is his wont.
Falling away from a jab. or feint-
ing to make a man lead and then
driving in with body punch. is per-
fectly good system of milling. But
it does not fit the champion because
it Is altogether too much like boxing
and no one ever could say honestly
that Jack was a boxer. If Dempsey
isn't a fighter then he is nothing.
Doesn't Sound Reasonable.
The idea of Jacks taking back
step or hesftating while he selects a
blow to deliver is so much unlike
the titleholder that one wonders if
his idea is to make of the battle at
Philadelphia fencing exhibition
against a man wh6 can fence better
than he can.
The real Dempsey, rushing out OF
his corner, waving head and body as
he comes within striking distance,
and then lashing out with his muir
derous left hook, is the Dempsey that
the spectators and experts want to
see. That is the Dempsey that they
figure can beat Tunney.
The consensus of opinion of those
who have fought Dempsey, as well
as those who have made a study of
his style. is that he has got to fight
one of his typical slam bang bouts
against Gene or eleo so down to de-
feat-provided, of course. the con-
tender fights his usual heady battle.
Gene Knows Better.
But the trouble is that Tunney
seems bent upon changes no less
radical than the champion seeks. He
is trying to be aggressive.
Now Gene has got where he is to-
day on the basis of smart, mechanical
boxing and sharp counter hitting.
AcGreSsiveness and counterinS do
not travel in harness. Is Tunney
seriously contemplating trying to
beat Dempsey at his own game?
He certainly is not What he is
doing now is spoofing, hiding his real
plan of battle For he is one big
man who has no favOrite blow. He
is not a one or two punch knocker-
out. He depends upon the cumula =
tive effects of body blows to weaken
his man. thereupon finishing him
with telling wallop. He would be
crazy, as it seems, to fight Dempsey
in any other way and one can gamble
that he will not.

At her suggestion explained to

for the departure from the custom.
saying that Mrs. Bryan and i had
been brought up that way, and had
followed the example of our parents
and that we hoped our hospitality
would be 30 cordial that the guests
would not miss the wine.
1t was rather an embarrassing occa-
sion for US, because we had no desire
to emphasize our views on this SUBJ
ject, and felt quite relieved when
the explanation was finished.
To my surprise, the guests applaud
ed very heartily, and we had a de-
lightful time together. 1 did not NEIL
ttion the incident to the newspapers,
and 1t was several days before any
thing was said about it. When the
facts were published i was called
upon for a statement, and the state
ment gradually found its way through
out the world.
The foreign comments were numer-
Gus and. for the most part, unfricnd~
ly. Some friend who had gathered a
collection of these comments sent me
his file. About the only friendly ref
erence among them was from a Ca
madam paper which remarked that,
from the criticisms made BY the
newspapers on the absence of wine
from our table, one might suppose
that it was bartenders' reunion.
EXAMPLE is FOLLOWED.
A few months afterward when a
Republican ambassador was closing
up his accounts at the department be-
fore retiring from the office, he called
on me, and with evident emotion
thanked me for the example set by
the luncheon. He said that rich men

Within two years the war had
aroused so much interest in the liquor
question in foreign nations that a

7 ONDON, Jan. 2.-Tbe wealth Of
the woman keeper at the Man

London Zoo, but there have been
many very narrow escapes.
Behind the scenes at the lion house
is passageway over which run n
number Of barred bridges TO enable
the animals TO reach their outdoor
cages at the back. While a keeper
was pushing a trolley under bridge, n
tigress reached through the bars and
badly ciswed his back.
Another tigress discovered the trick
Of working the sliding door between
her cage and that Of her neighbor.
She sprang for a chain, which worked
in a groove, hung on It for moment,
and then slipped through the door she
had raised, and killed young leopard.
She repeated this grim trick under tie
eyes Of the superintendent.

was then II, but it had by that time
become habit with me. The forma-

well illustrated in this case.
DRY STATE DINNERS.
My wife was brought up in the same
way, and the antipathy toward the
use OF liquor as beverage at any
time and in any form was so great
that she Joined me in excluding 1t
from public dinners when l was sec
rotary Of state, as we had excluded
it from our table in private life.
This led to the incident Of the
Grape Juice Dinner" as it was called,
although, as a matter of fact, the af-
fair was luncheon.
When President Wilson invited me
to Trenton I surmised the purpose Of
the invitation was to offer me the
portfolio Of secretary Of state, and
before meeting the President / dis
cussed with my wife the matter Of serv-
ing liquors.
We were not willing to violate our
custom in this respect, and to set such
an example to others, and it was
therefore understood that / should
bring the matter to the attention Of
the President at the time in order
that there might be no criticism later.
Afer going over other matters con-
nected with the office, I told him
there was only one thing about which
/ felt concerned, and that was whether
he would regard the exclusion of in
toxicating liquors from our table as an
insufferable objection to my assuming
the duties Of the office.
He promptly responded that it was
matter upon which we could feel
perfectly free to follow our own
wishes. i said that we never had
served it, and as a matter Of con-
science did not wish to. The matter
was never referred to again by either
Of us in conversation with the other.
ENTER GRAPE JUICE.
Soon after l assumed the duties Of
office we had occasion to entertain
Ambassador Bryce at a luncheon. In
order to explain the absence Of wine
from the table 1 told him that Mrs.
Bryan and 1 were departing from the
custom in this respect, and that he
was our first guest. He answered very
cheerfully that he was a good person
to begin on, as he did not use it him
self.
He was preparing to leave WASH
ington, and not long after this we gave
him a farewell luncheon to which all
Of the ambassadors were invited, sew
