FIGHT MAY BE LAST
FOR GENE AND JACK


NEW YORK, August 4.-The sec
ond episode OF the Dempsey-Tunney
battle for the worlds heavyweight
championship may be the last ring en-
gagement for both principals. startling
as this idea may seem In an era or
million-dolIar purses.
So far as Tex Rickard is concerned
the possibility may be dismissed here
and now. for Tex has an understand
ing with both by which the winner
would appear in another heavyweight
extravaganza in 1928, but the notion
persists, nevertheless. that neither
Tunney nor Dempsey Is anxious to
prolong his ring career.
Tunney, whose tastes run counter
to the blare and glare that goes with
the heavyweight title, frequently has
told friends that he intended to hang
up his gloves when he made his mil
lion. He will just about have it when
he collects around s750,00 for defend
ing the crown in Chicago.
With one million in hand, Of course,
Tunney may decide another will be
useful, providing he again defeats
Dempsey. II he loses, Tunney might
be more in a mood to retire than other
wise, perhaps to take up the political
career that has interested him at
times.
Dempsey is more likely to quit the
ring. win or lose, than Tunney, most
observers believe.
Dempsey's prime object in returning
to action was to win back the crown
he wore and priced so highly for seven
years. He might have retired last Fall
had he successfully defended it against
Tunney. Well fixed financially, the
erstwhile Manassa Mauler, IL victori-
GUS at Chicago, probably would de-
eide he had had enough Of the f1stic
life and retire on his laurels. If he is
as decisively beaten as he was last
year, there is small doubt 1t will be
Dempsey's last fight. Defeat would
leave little basis on which to erect
another comeback effort.

COMMUTE BATTLE
IS "PIE" FOR TUNNEY
BY FATRPLAY.

Staging the Gene Tunney-Jack
Dempsey fight in Chicago means that
the contest will be limited to 10
rounds, the same distance that pre-
vailed when the title changed hands
last year in Philadelphia. This was
the shortest heavyweight champion
ship battle to a decision on record.
Limiting n heavyweight scrap to 30
minutes of actual fighting is but an
other instance Of the trend of the
times. A heavyweight champion is a
rare parsonage, in that he is expected
10 draw nearly two million dollars.
Frequent appearances in the ring
would make him common sight, and
so the powers that manipulate the
order OF things have decreed that q
heavy champion should make but one
appe@ance each year. Under the
conditions no man can be expected
to go more than 10 rounds at top
speed, and SO it can be assumed that
heavyweight titular scraps will be
limited to 10 rounds in future.
Last year Dempsey was away off.
That was the reason nothing much
in the way of contest was produced
for the fans who braved the rain to
see the scrap. Jack has had one fight
since then. just how much better
ne iooKed IS matter or opinion.
Looking back to the sixth and sew.
enth rounds of his fight with Jack
Sharkey, 1t must be admitted that
Dempsey's legs began to wabble, and
he had to stand flat-footed to get any
power behind his blows. Undoubtedly
Jack Is mighty glad that he will not
be asked to fight more than 80 min.
utes.
Tunney has been taking good care
OF himself. Although he, too. has
only fought twice in two years, he
also will be aided by the abbreviated
distance. Ten rounds, 80 minutes,

The tendency in recent years has been steady drop

In partial explanation of this slackness the part

citizen develops a What's the use attitude
To which voter who hasn't lost faith in the bal
