Another Opinion

Chicago. Sept, 23 CUP Pl-Ihe question Of whether Gene Tunney could have arisen "ithin ten seconds Of the time he was knocked do"n pr Jack Dempsey in the seventh round last night and whether he would have stayed ID if he had not been given three or four seconds lsnHay, nrEhadonad all others to- day in the inevitable post mortems" on the fight.
 Sport writers in the main agreed that rules are rules and that the rule of the Illinois state boxing com mission requiring the victorious lighter 10 20 10 neutral corner after a knockdoWn is good one.
 That. nevertheless, does not an swer the question of whether Gene was knocked out in accordance with the Queensbury rules, He said he could have been on his feet at in" count Of four---ahout seven or eight seconds after the knnck1OTn. Tun- ncy's version is that he looked to- wards his handlers at 'h" tune ana they motioned him 70 stay down ana rest. Perhaps he could have been ur sooner. It is fully within the range cf possibility. But 10 most Of the observers at the ringside it ap- pcarod that Tunnov arose when he did only with great difficulty ana that he "a. ,horoughly daze1 when he hi the canvas.
 Leo Flynn. manager of 'he .chaI- goncer, claimed 2 stop-"afch in the Dempsey corner showed l5 seconds from the knoclIoTn 70 the last sec oud os the count. I' vas actually three seconds before Dempsey got TO neutral corner and the referee started 10 toll off the period or grace.
