TIE there's one thing Gene Tunney
the philosopher, likes TO do, It $ 70
take apart the situation of Tun-
new. the heavyweigm champion,
and see how it ticks. For in
stance, says Gene:
"You know. the thing have had to
combat most is the impression among
the BOYS that I'm psuedo-intellectual
and like to wear the high hat. III
nv trim across the country and back
has done nothing else, it has helped
me TO counteract those ideas.
1T seemed to be a shock to many
nf the sports writers who came 10
see me to find out that, after all. am
lust an ordinary fellow. Becoming a
champion, they thought, had done
something unusual TO my habits and
,,arsnnalitv. So far as know, /
haven't changed, nor am [ likely to,
whether l take one on the chin the
next time or not"
'Thfs business of demanding Kill
lers' for heavyweight champions is
something 1 can't quite understand,
Gene continued.
"T hear all around me that it is the
killer of the type that Dempsey USED
TO be, that packs 'em in for the blg
matches. I don't agree with that l
think it is the championship match
that attracts the public most. They
like to see title fought for and they
especially like to see a king de-
throned.
Dempsey was more Of killer, il
you like, in 1920 than he was in 1926,
hut he wasn't big enough drawing
card in 1920 to ill Madison Square
Garden for his match with Bill Bren-
nan. Tex Rickard lost money on that
show, paying Dempsey 100000 and
Brennan $25 900.
Boxing has developed since the
days of the oId.timers who simply
went into the ring to slug. l don't
think any of them would stand up
today against the best Of our fighters,
where speed and science is as much a
part of the battle as hitting.

WRC PROGRAM

The return Of the cash and carry
Gypsies to the air after the summer
vacation. a dissertation by Pitcher
Waite Hoyt, Of the Yankees. on the
coming world series. and one of
those "Guess which," dual re.
citals for piano player and artist
are just three of the things that
will set loud speakers vibrating this
evening.
The return Of the Gypsies will
have a place on the WRC program
beginning at 7:30-and will curtail
the Roxy program by half an hour
this evening and next Monday eve
ming. After that the New York dis
tributing microphonists will quit
saving daylight until next year and
the chances are a number of things
that haven't been happening here
tofore through WRC will begin to
happen.
At any rate, the Gypsies steal
half an hour from Roxy tonight
and add another half hour to it in
order that they might play a pro-
gram Of things that have been
particularly acceptable to their audi.
ences heretofore. 1t will be great
home coming for the orchestra and
the radiotics who have missed the
programs during the summer-pro.
grams we have needed of a Monday
more than any other day of the
week.
YANKEE PITCHER
TALKS OF SERIES
Waite Hoyt will talk to listeners
OF WRC and the other WEAF
antenna at Sis. We are given TO
understand that Hoyt talks with a
slow, round house voice and has a
great change Of conversational pace.
He manages to get his facts
straight over and will go after a
striking record this evening.
The dual piano-artist recital is
something novel for radio and is
the beginning Of a series Of such
affairs that Is subsidized by the
American Piano Company. The
idea is to utilize the distinguished
artists who have made Ampico
player records In, TIE series. Dur.
ing the concert this evening the
artist and the piano will play the
same numbers and the audience
viii be asked to guess which is the
artist and which the piano.
The recital will begin at 8 o'clock
and will be heard through the WIZ
chain. We are not informed as to
what artist or artists will be heard
this evening. The Ampico list,

This Papers For 1t

There is talk in the air right
now of changing the boundaries
Of the commissioners district to
include Renton and the strip due
east and south of the city, in cur
district. Why this wasn't done
long ago is what we'd like to
know. The natural lines would
point to this territory as due the
south district, both geographically
and numerically. 1t would add to
the assessed valuation of our dis
irict. Such leaders in and around
Renton as DR.. Dixon and Tom
Dobson are vitality Interested in the
south districts welfare. When
they are included in our commiss-
toner's district, they will be found
working in harmony with the in
terests of our district. We hope
the three commissioners will make
the change as above outlined by
unanimous action-such a move
would add for harmony and good
will along the whole line.
