BY the Associated Press.

BY tho Associated Press.
y: SPECTATOR, y. Y, AUGUST 27.-
/ Gene Tunney's next sparring session
has been set for tomorrow afternoon.
i. The races at Saratoga today drew
,the attention Of the champion and
his entire retinue away from training.
- Confident of his physical fitness,
Eene seems to regard his fight with
: Jack Dempsey lightly.
= He did not take up his gloves yes
ferday. but after eight miles on the
road in the morning he led the way
for severed Of his guests in the after
noon on a 14-mile hike.
!; Billy Vidabeck. one of the cham
Dion's sparring partners who was in
the camp last year. expressed the
opinion that Tunney could we'll af-
ford to shave down his boxing pro-
gram without any loss of effective
ness.
Gene is in wonderful condition, "
Tidabeck said He is bigger than he
twas last year; he is stronger and he
hits harder. / can vouch for his all
around condition. for ! observed him
closely before the Dempsey fight at
philadelphia and have been with him
all along this trip. His physical make
nap today is 100 per cent. There isn't
any danger of going stale. Bearing
in mind the improvement I have
noted don't see how Dempsey posi-
sbly can beat him. Gene is harder to
'shit than ever"

DEMPSEY DISPLAYS
SPEED IN SPARRING

BY the Associated Press.

e CHICAGO, August 27-Jack Demp-
,sey concluded his first week of train
Ing at Lincoln Fields today with an.
. sSther session of the gloves, the third
. The has engaged in since opening his
camp at the racing plant last Monday.
II Working under the watchful eye OF
leo ?. Flynn, the old fox of fistinia,
dempsey faced three sparring part
liners for a round each and was hit
ting with precision and power. He
giooked better than on any previous
iworkout and finished fresh and strong.
IL A crowd of about 400 saw the for
iner worlds champion exercise in pub
lie for the first time. The decision to
sclose the gates to the public and work
before newspapermen only was re-
sfersed with the result that the pub
lie was admitted at an admission price
:pf $1.10. Manager Flynn said that
dempsey would box again tomorrow
with the prospects that a crowd Of
i. 900 or more would make the 35-mile
"trip to see Dempsey wallop his SPAR
ring mates.
K. o. Christner, Pete Wistort, a new

sing the three rounds the former title
sholder kept pegging away with the
big heavy gloves. Christner put up
ssuch feeble resistance against
dempsey that he was released from
1.-THE staff of sparring mates. He was
80 frightened by Dempseys scowl and
syicious punches that he no longer had
Amy value for boxing.
III Wistort. a protege Of Johnny Cou-
sion, one-time worlds bantamweight
champion, did fairly well against
spempsey. Manager Flynn thinks he

Innate.
II Kruger was on the receiving end
las usual, but the German warrior is
:big and healthy and did not seem to
.tnind his leathering

sTeeled off three miles on the road in
sthe morning and whaled away at the
HEAVY bag for two rounds. In the
shfternoon he worked round with the
1pulleys, a round with the light bag
