| agreed that | was right.
| Ordinarily l am against a man in

having his wife with him in his train

| had been worrying a bit about the
| health of his wife. and he thought it
| better to have her near him while
| she was recovering from a mild sort
of nervous breakdown.
The reason | would veto the pres
ence of a fighters wife in his train.
! ing camp is that with her looking on.
the fighter would be bound to try to
show off. and the sparring partners
| naturally would work a bit under
wraps.
This state of affairs would prevent
the fighter from getting the best re-
suits from his workouts.

rather reticent. but some of the boys
told me that he thinks Dempsey has
a fine chance to defeat Tunney. Till
has said this to me. In fact had the
question put to him in my presence
soon after I arrived there, and his
reply was, as he looked at me:

Tunney rarely does. Even when
angered Tunney will pull his punch

in the last year, and he looks healthier,
He has worked a few things out of
his system, but there is still some
traces of some illness he went

But Jack assures me he is as sound as
a dollar now. Maybe he is, but of
course, even dollar loses some if its
brilliance after it's been knocked

Dempsey now is in the thick of his
training. from now he will taper off.
But he'll still have quite a few tough,
hard sessions before he is in the pink

CHAMP TUNNEY USING SAME BATTLE PLANS
 WHEN WDN GROWN
BELIEVES CAN STAB JACK OFF BALANCE WITH LEFT, WIN
 WITH RIGHT

LAKEVILLA, H., Sept. 21. (P)-The same strategy that carried Tunney to the heavyweight throne last fall will guide the big marine in the defense of his crown against Jack Dempsey, former champion. Tunney believes he can stab Dempsey off his balance continually with his cutting left hand and hammer out victory with right crosses. Tunney feels his best chance for knockout being in the eight, ninth or tenth round.
 He said, My plan depends entirely on what Dempsey does. I may nail him with right smash to the chin in the first few seconds of fighting as I did last September. If that happens Demp- sey cannot evade knockout this time"

Littlehales, one of the most ac- complished pianists among the city's school teachers, is the accompanist to the club.
 Although most of the members Of the glee club are women, there are some men enrolled, these coming from ranks of the men teachers in the schools. The presence of male voices in the club is expected to pro- vide a substantial bass, something that is notably lacking when femi- nine voices alone form the chorus.
 It is expected that the Teachers Glee club will provide one of the most delcctable concerts of the sea son in New Britain this season. The talent is there, and under the effl- cient leadership of Miss Prior it is believed possible to provide high type of choral singing.

EAST BERLIN ALSO
 IN GRIP 0F FLOOD
Traffic From South and East Is
 Cut Off

The backfow of the Connecticut river flood is giving much concern to East Berlin which is now entire ly cut off from highway travel to the south and to the east. The old mill and the road in front is now under four feet of water making passing out Of the question. The rise of the water early Sunday morning was phenomenal, four inches an hour being registered, and although this rise abated some what during the day the crest of the Hood had not been reached this morning.
 A West Cromwell farmer put In q 2all for help at o'clock yesterday morning to move his crop of 200 bushels of potatoes from the cellar of his home as the water had come through. This morning there was four feet of water in the cellar. The large barn on the Krashen farm was wired down yesterday so that flood water would not float it from its foundation. Several others have also wired down their buildings to keep them In place. The Dutton farm Is almost completely surround ed by the water. The water ma rooned the chickens in the GOODS so that it was necessary to go out 10 the GOODS by rowboat and move them to a place of safety.
 The old Kirby bridge between West Cromwell and East Berlin was saved only by prompt action yester- day morning. The blanks of the bridge were floating downstream and for a time it appeared that they would all go the same way. Several nearby farmers joined forces and re- paired the damage. A new house, near the twin bridges, being built by a Middletown resident, is in the flood waters. The owner of the structure is building it himself and last Sat urday night he went to bed In the tent adjacent to the house and early Sunday morning woke up to find that the water had completely sur rounded him.
 The New Haven road is discharg- ing all West Cromwell passengers at the old Keefe Crossing as the bridge at Westfeld depot Is covered by more than six feet Of water. It is almost impossible for an automo- bile to either get in or out of West Cromwell as it is now surrounded by water on almost every side. From Paddock's corner to a point past Sharp's pond the water covers most of the highway. The oldest living resident cannot recall ever before such high water.
 Hundreds of New Britain people motored down to East Berlin yes terday to see what the flood was do- ing. Officer John Lewis was on duty until & late hour last night routing traffic over to the High lands past the Kelsey Corner. Thousands will visit the town today to see the sight.
