the hard-hitting Dempsey has con-
vinced the fans that Tunney is a
fighting champion.
Too much stress has been placed
upon the knock-down Jack scored in
the seventh round in Chicago. The
fans were led to believe that that was
all there was to the fight-Jack'
failing fists and long count. But
the films showing how Gene came
back after the knockdown and made
a garrison finish proved that he is
something more than a defensive
boxer.
No matter who stands out as
worthy contender for the title next
year-and the fight will take place
in New York City, so Tex Rickard
says-the gate receipts will reach a
new high mark. The fans believe in
Gene Tunney and they won't miss

GERMANY HOPES
FOR NAVAL PACT
Foreign Office Does Not Re-
gard Collapse of Par|ey
as "Last Word"
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, August 10.-The German
foreign office apparently views the
collapse of the tripartite naval CON
ference at Geneva a little less pessi-
mistically than tho German press,
judging from a semi-official commu-
nique published by the Diplomatische
KorrespondenZ.
This communique draws comfort
from what it terms authoritative dis
patches from London and Washing
ton declaring that the parley noWiSe
was fruitless, but, on the contrary,
has been very useful, and that the last
word has not yet been said.
Renewal by England Indicated.
Moreover it continues. the indlca-
tions in London point to a renewal
of q naval disarmament conference,
while stress is laid in Washington on
the fact that Anglo American relations
will not be adversely affected. There
fore, says the communque, Germany
can only hope for better success the
next time.
So much, however, is certain, the
communique continues, that the axiom
of Anglo Saxon unity no longer is eX-
istent. 1eaStWise not to the former
extent.
Spur to General Disarmament.
Tho fact that the report of the tri-
partite conference will he included on
the agenda of the next session of the
assembly of the League of Nations
and the failure of the conference TO
reach an agreement is looked upon as
n possible spur to honest endeavors
to promote general disarmament.
