ANNOUNCER'S VOICE
 IS HEARD ABROAD
Fight Broadcast Picked Up in
 Distant Lands

New York, Sept. g UP)-The story of Gene Tunney's victory over Jack Dempsey at Soldiers Field, Chicago, went around the world last night on waves Of ether.
 Blow by blow, the fight as broad cast from the ringside spread out over the United States and Canada, passing through the low wave sta tions of KDKA at Pittsburgh and WGY at Schenectady and was re- layed to the world, IL was received in foreign countries either through The medium Of re-broadcastinG or by listeners who were able to pick up the story from the United States on their own sets.
 Australia, Chile, Germany, Argen- tina, England and Peru reported to- day that reception had been good. France had trouble and missed much of the description as well as the announcement Of the winner.
 No estimate could be made of the number of persons who heard the DEOdQCdSl sLUTN Ol tile l5Iil' IIIc number in the United States and Canada must have reached far into the millions. Listeners in France, where the time is six or more hours ahead of Chicago time, were com peled to revise their sleeping sched- ules to enjoy the broadcast and this undoubtedly reduced the total of those who heard the fight. In Aus tralia. where the differential made the fight 9 daylight event Of Fri day, thousands of persons gathered in the streets to hear the story.
 Atmospheric conditions somewhat spoiled the reception in spots but it was sufficiently clear to enable aft ernoon newspapers to print the blow by blow radio description. The shouting of the crowd in the sta dlum. said the United Press Syd- ney correspondent in a cable to New York today and the announcer's s obvious excitement spoiled the an- nouncement of the decision.
 Amateurs in France, the United Press Paris bureau reported, heard the broadcast faintly. The fewspa- per Petit Parisien got the first round distinctly but after that the an nouncer's voice was heard only as humble. Even the final decision was lost
 Legionnaires who stayed up for the returns cheered the result. Sev- eral downtown American bars re- mained open all night and the Le. gionnaires celebrated appropriately
 London was fortunate in having clear reception for the fight. The wireless correspondent of the Eve ming News said he missed not 2 word from start to finish"
 Frank Pinkerton, United Pres! chief operator in London, listened over Zurndept three valve, shor wave amateur set and got all of it
 The Evening News writer quotet the announcer in the final 10 sec onds as having said;
 "Dempseys almost out. Tunne has caught him with a right, left left, right. left
 "The crowd" continued the lis tener, "roared Gene, Gene and 3 seconds later l heard Tunney's owl voice, a dozen words of greeting t the listeners all over the world. H hardly seemed out of breath"

SECRET WORKOUTS
HELD BY DEMPSEY
BY the Associated Press.


SARATOGA LAKE, n. Y. July -.
Jack Dempsey has been up to some
thing at his college very deep in the
woods, mile from the lake shore
training Northumberland now the
secret is out.
Every morning Dave Shade, Jack S
middleweight pal from California,
steals from the camp just after dawn
and meets Jack in the hay field back
of the college. There with Trainer
Jerry Luvadis. the pair bold a secret
workout for 80 minutes before Jack
takes to the road for 5-nile run.
During that time they practice just
two moves-and on the result Of
Jacks secret drill may depend the
fate of his comeback engagement
with Jack Sharkey in Yankee Stadium
July 81.
Dave, professor of one of the fastest
left jabs in the fistic game, shoots
that hand into Dempsey's head. The
former champion catches the blow on
his right glove, and with almost the
same motion ships his left to Shades
body. Then they try the move again
and again until Dave tires, and Jerry,
the faithful Greek, takes his place.
Mammoth 16-ounce gloves pad Demp-
sey's hands to prevent damage to
either of his helpers.
The workout at dawn have been GO
ing on for week now in anticipa-
ton in the rif1e-like left hand Sharkey
has employed so successfully in fight

plans to be ready for such an attack
with a defense and offense that com.
prise little more than single move
ment.
After the Sunday lay-off, Dempsey
yesterday turned in the snappiest
workout of his two weeks here in
camp. The heavy toll among Dempsey's 's
sparring partners continues and two
newcomers to the camp ran into
knockouts on their very first day out

minutes and a half against the

Marty Gallagher, speedy Washington
190-pounder, was more fortunate, but
the bell, too, found him out on his feet
and hanging in Dempsey's arms from
short right-hand jolts to the jaw and
ribs.

Jack Dempsey likes TO murder his
sparring partners, but this sort of
workout doesn't appeal to me. You
can't get much service from disabled
sparring partner. The boys with me
now are big and strong. They are not
afraid to mix, either, which is a valu-
able thing for me.
Two Rounds With Urban.
I worked two rounds with Urban.
He kept coming in and several times
landed solidly on the face. This pleas
ed the crowd. These punches do me
lot of good because it is the only
way / can harden up for a fight. To
ward the finish 1 nailed Urban with
right upper-Cut and down he went.
He was up quickly. but was dazed.
Leo Gates followed for two rounds.
Last Saturday Leo dropped me with
left lab, but today | guess I didn't
give the big fellow much chance to
get set. I was holding my hands
higher and Leo found me crowding
him all the time.
Marco Polo was next for two
rounds. From now on I plan to in
crease the amount Of boxing each
day. The bout with Polo was pretty
much like the other two, a good, fast
workout.
Rocky Stone followed for one round.
Rocky is a comedian and his antics
never fail to please the crowd. He
also is good medicine for me. No mat
