Two weeks from tonight in.
Chicago meath . blaze Of are
lights and no doubt with no
few machine guns mounted
along the classic frieze Of Sol
diers' Field, Gene Tunney will
defend his heavyweight cham
pionship crown from the man
off whom he won it, one day
less than q year before.
Most Of the human bipeds in
this hemisphere know all Of
that. but what they don't
know, and would like to, con-
Germs the outcome Of such \
meeting. Possessing no occult
powers ourselves, we are as
much in the dark as anyone,
but presently we hope to wend
our way toward Chicago where
the key-holes are large and
lend themselves to a listening
ear.
What we hear or see, Of
course, will be made public in
formation to be used as each
and sundry sees fit.
But in the meantime, we be-
ieve, we have a rather direct
and authentic expression from
one whose opinion should be
held in high regard. At Wild
wood, N. j., last week we played
at golf with Tommy Loughran,
the Philadelphia light heavy
weight challenger who is to
meet Mike McTigue next month
for the title.
Tommy, you know, was one
Of Dempsey's sparring partners
at Atlantic City last summer;
he may therefore be supposed to
know something Of the Dempsey
Of 1926, as well as of the Demp.
sey Of 1927. And Tommy be-
lieves Tunney will win the COM
ing fight in 10 rounds by a
decision.
He said so in just that many
words as we halved 4 hole, the
nearest we came to winning one
of the handsome Quaker scrap
per, and little bones he made
over so expressing himself.
There is no use talking"
said Tommy, Dempsey wasn't
right last September--at least
he wasn't right on the night Of
the fight. / thought, as / told
you at Atlantic City last sum
mer, that Dempsey wasn't the
Dempsey of old, but that he
was good enough to whip Gene.
"He was q nervous wreck
in his dressing room before the
fight and he was q physical
wreck after the fight | left
the ring in the eighth round to
60 back to Jacks dressing room
to make ready to receive his
broken, bent and weary body.
and / felt after the first round
he was q gone gander."

ShamrOcks to Workout
For Chevy Chase Till

Sunday afternoon at q o'clock at

asked to report for this workout.

That is the lineup this afternoon
and a fine time win be had by all.
They can't match up a couple OF
top rankers like Johnston and
LaCoste without having excitement.
They can't match Ttlden and a
man who beat him in the last
tournament at Wimbledon without
having riot.
The Tilden- COchet match viii
bring down the house even
though the latter happens to
include $4,000 gallery, the
greatest that ever has witnessed
q Davis Cup round. Why not?
Here we have Tilden, the aging,
but still the player of the century,
faced with Cochet, the man who
has beaten him every time out.
But, it is only SO per cent Of
the program, the schedule calling
for Johnston, the hard hitter, to
meet LaCoste, the conservative
No, there are thrills and thrills
to be had at the Germantown
Cricket Club today, the first real
threat upon the Davis Cup, which
we have seen since Tilden and
Johnston carried it back from Aus.
tra1ia late in 1919.
It is this pair that we look upon
today to defend it. They held it for
six years, and according to the pop.
ular American version, they are
good enough to hold it. At least,
that was the consensus vote of the
DAYS cup committee which nomi-
mated Johnston to play the singles
with Tilden in spite of the fact that
the little bantam has had a mini
mum of tournaments this season.
Still, the approach Of the
challenge round finds many
Americans filled with fear and
forebOdings. They recognize
the fact that Tilden's tour OF
foreign courts resulted in only
one victory over LacOste 90 two
defeats. They recognize that
Tilden had COchet virtually de.
feated in three straight sets at
wimbledon and yet lost in five.
No, the great battle for the Gun
is on today and the good Providence
forbids any man to call the turn.
Tilden has never beaten Cochet.
Johnston has even never played the
man.

what has WROUGHT the chanee

What has wrought the change?
Why is it that boxing today, so
far as championship battle among
the heavyweights is concerned, has
become almost q National social
function, whereas, back in the SOS
and into the SOS men had to fight
in secluded barns. in barrooms and
out of the sight or the knowledge
Of the men who upheld the laws Of
decency in America?
With the awakening that boxing
is clean sport, and a fine one,
there has come enthusiasm over It
among the masses and the classes
ana 50, in this day and this age,
the sport has become the most
democratic in the woSld. perhaps
the most thrilling from the specta.
tors viewpoint-and to me the I'm.
est of them all.

now believe that the stance
with the toes pointed outward is
absolutely necessary to teach one
to pivot properly. Some excellent
players point the toe, of one foot,
the left il right-handed. keeping the
right foot almost straight.
While I use the open stance
throughout my game it varies
slightly with each shot; for in
stance, the stance is almost square
in the drive and what may be called
wide-open in the mashie chip shot.
1t is practically the same stance,
however, governed largely by per.
sonal feeling of comfort. / believe
strongly in uniformity of stance and
stroke. Too much energy is wasted
in constantly trying for something
new.

His business career started at the
age of 81 with the firm Of S. Pearson

Although he was rector of the Uni

member of Parliament from 1895 to
1910 and was president of the Air
Board in 1917 his chief interest was
business. Aside from his works in

public utility enterprises include the
harbor at Dover, the tube under the
Thames River, the great Northern
Railway and the Northern & City Rail
way and the Pennsylvania Railroad
tunnels under the East River, New

quarters with undertaking when
American competitors feared the diff
