TUNNEY IS DECLARED
TO BE IN FINE TRIM
By the Associated Press.

by the AssOCldtcu Acsss
SPECULATOR. n. Y. August 90.
More than / 900 persons who
watched Gene Tunney box six rounds
with his sparring partners yesterday
have come to the conclusion that the
Tunney who dethroned Jack Demp-
sey at Philadelphia last year couldn't
have been in better physical condi-,
ton then than he is today. ~
The champion might be expected
to be fit and ready at all times, but
the manner in which he has been
enduring many furious sessions In his
mountain camp apparently has re-
moved the last vestige of doubt on
that point to the satisfaction of his,
handlers.
Yesterday he travelled six busy
rounds, three each against Billy
Vidabeck and Frank Muskie. and
ended up by breathing effortlessly.
although he got a stiff workout from
each man.

European AviatOrs
At Odds on Flights

LONDON. Oct. S.-"what have
ocean flights taught?" That is the
question which looms large before
the aeronautical world of Europe
today.
Although every aviator in Eu-
rope deplores the loss OF life which
has attended ocean flight projects,
the aviation circles of the continent
are divided into two classes-those
who believe there should be a re.
striction against the sacrifice OF
life-and those who cling to the
theory. There is always risk for
the pioneer"
The former class base their oh.
lection on the fact that these sac
rifices of life are wasted.

SAINT PUZZLE
To SAVANTS

Therese Neumann as miraculous. !"
the investigating committees of pro-
fessors from the medical and theo-
logical faculties of Erlanger Uni

their examination of the modern
saint OF Konmersreuth. confess that
the phenomena she displays are ut
terly beyond rational explanation.
Part of the woman's symptoms
could be duplicated in many medical
reports OF hysteria.
But the professors admit that
their experiment upon Therese's
eyes showed results which may well
be unique in the history Of medi-
cine.
One of the most important Of
Therese's symptoms is the trance in
which she sinks on Friday. aud
during which she loses conscious
ness. in imitation of the death Of
Christ.
1t was during this trance that the
professors brought to bear on her
eyes the full force of a 5000 candle
power arc lamp.
Therese failed to react in the
slightest. The light was powerful
enough. according to the professors,
to blind temporarily and iniure per-
manently Any normal human eye
looking full at 1t.
To their horror. however. Therese
opened her eyes widely and gazed
full into the glare of the lamp for
nearly a minute. When she awoke.
the professors asked her IL she had
not seen bright light.
