CEDAR CREST, ILL.,, Sept. 49,
After migrating out into the wider
ness, fifty miles from the bark of
Chicago machine guns. to view the
heavyweight champion, Gene Tun-
ney, in training for defense of his
title, I believe am in position to
judge his condition.
!. 1 spent two days watching him go
through his training activities, and
if he works no harder than he did
when I was present, there is no
question in my mind but what he
has not done enough hard work.
1t is just possible he has been
doing some work in private. If he
is as smart a man as I think he is,
he must have.
During the two days I watched
him, his training activities consisted
Of four miles of road work in the
morning, lay-off until three
o'clock, when he punched the light
bag for two round (six minutes) and
the heavy bag, one round. He then
took on two sparring partners. The
first one, a. boy named Jackie Will
liams. Nobody seems to ever have
heard of Jackie Williams. However,
the fact he is unknown did not stop
him from giving the champion Just
as much as he received.
The one outstanding thing that
Williams did was to prove to the
large gallery that Tunney's defense
is not infallible. In doing this he
used straight left and right to
Genes face to fine advantage, there
by bringing out the fact that Mr.
Tunney is wide open tor a straight
left-hand.
Tunney is not as great a boxer as
I expected to see. The other spar
ring partner-who reminds one more
Of a page boy than f1ghter-did
nothing to make the champion ex-
tend himself.
1t is my opinion that Tunney lacks
the snap he should have for such
an important battle. And 1 believe
that the small amount of work he
has been doing is responsible fol-
this lack of snap.
Only One-Half
I think Tunney has been doine
just one-half the work he shoulc
have done. If his manager believes
that Tunney can condition himself

257 of Jerry O'Grady topping the
field.
Charles Liebtag can be found
most any time hiding behi Id the
Bowlers' Journal. Charlie declares
this is the greatest book published.
Frank Hueber is so busy with the shin
ny stick he is neglecting his bowling, with
the result his average looks like the skin
ny man in a circus.
Eddie Hornberger is rolling a con-
sistent game. shooting between $50 and
$50 regularly.
Flash English waited too long last
year to get started. with the result that
some OF his snsh" were too 90, hard to over,
this year.
Outstanding scores among the
women's teams we're the 2,454 total
of the Nancy Hart girls. This team
also had high single, game. a nice
865 in their secoad try.
Mrs. Fulton was best among the
individuals with high single game
Of 258 and high three-game total
of 587.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-19

with that amount of work, he's been
kidding himself.
Tunney, to my way of thinking, is
in as good condition as he could pos
sibly be, under his method of train
ing.
There are two things absolutely
necessary to champion. One is
timing, the other is judgment of
distance. Genes timing is fair but
could be better. His judgment OF
distance certainly is nothing to brag
about.
His footwork> is just fair and I saw

been told so much about. Several

Frantic Race

forA.A.Top
Blues and Brewers Tied,
With Hens Close Third;
linn Shines.

One week to go and the A. A.
pennant race knotted!
Fans of Kansas City and Milwau-
kee are about ready to submit to
baseball insanity tests as Blues and
Brewers struggle for an edge in the
thrilling race to the wire.
And the Toledo Hens, in third
place, are cackling along only one
and one-half games behind the
pacemakers.
BY downing the Brewers at Kan
sas City Sunday, to 1, making a
sweep of the series of four games,
the Blues went into tie with Jack
Lelivelts team for first place in
Tom Hickey's circuit.
1t was the climax of a great
comeback staged by Dutch Twill
ing's FASTENERS after they had been
knocked off the top perch during a
slump of five games.
An overflow crowd of 81 900 viewed
the Milwaukee-K. G. fracas in Kaw-
town Sunday. Jimmy linn, Blue
veteran, hurled a fancy article of
ball, allowing six scattered hits, and
made himself prominent at bat with
single that drove. in two runs.
Ossie Orwell gave up only five hits
to Kansas City, but walks and cracks
in his defense rui{fed him.
And so the 1927 A. A. champion
ship continues to remain in the
balance, with Toledo standing a
good chance to nose out in front If
both Blues and Brewers slip.

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 19.-Second
round games in the national indus
trial baseball tourney being staged
here were to be played today. Power
and Light of indianapolis, defending
champion, was not expected to play
until Tuesday because of the failure
of the Toledo team to report.
The Hoosier aggregation encoun-
tered little trouble in its first game
Saturday and romped to a 1913 vic
tory over the Scranton Lackawan-
mas. Reno was in the box for the
champs and allowed only seven hits.
Reno also connected for two hits,
triple and double. Hinkle and
Kelly got three hits apiece for the
winners.

times, in his sparring match with
Williams, good footwork would have
taken him out of range of blows,
But he failed to deliver and conse-
quently Williams hammered him
before he, could get away.
AS I see it the one great asset
Tunney has is his mental condition
A more confident champion never
trained for a bout. I can't help but
think that his confidence is inspired
by something more than he shows in
his public workouts. AS have
said before, I really believe that he
has been doing some private train
ing.

I'M JEFFRLES OF OPlNIONTUNNEYLAC SNAP;
GREAT ASSET is MENTAL CONDITION

The secret of holding champion
ship-and that goes for Tunney or
any other schampion-may be
summed up in four words-hard
work, clean living.
Tunney certainly exemplifieS clean
living. AS for hard work, think
Tunney is capable of it but there is
question in my mind as to wheth-
er he has been doing it.
1 don't believe Tunney is deserving
of all the trick names heaped upon
him. He is a better fighter than he
is given credit for 1t will take a
corking good man to beat him.
Whether Demps ~ is that man, the
night of Sept. 20 will decide.

CRUCIAL SERIES NEAR
Corsairs' Clash With Giants
Genes at End of
Week.
By United Press

By United Press
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 19.-The Pi-
rates may not yet have won the
National League penrant, but you
can't convince any one in this town
they won't.
Even such a shrewd and cautious
business man as Barney DreyfuSS,
who owns the club. seems to think
his team "is in" Last week, when
the Corsairs began their final drive
pennantward, the Office of the base
ball club announced that no appli-
cations for world series tickets
would be received, but today the
word sent out: LET them come"
IA More to Play
The Yankees have the American
League pennant safely tucked away,
and only calamity can deprive the
Pirates of the bunting of the senior
circuit. They have fourteen more
games to play, and they can win
the pennant by taking nine. if the
New York Giants and st. Louis Car
dinals take all their remaining
games. Should these two clubs, now
in second and third place, respec-
lively, win less than all their games,
the Pirates will need less than nine
more victories to bring the series to
Forbes field
Reserved tickets are being sold on
the theory that the world series
will open here with two games, the
three next being played in the
Yankee stadium. The clubs will re-
turn here for the sixth game and
any other games necessary to deter
mine the outcome.
Meet Giants Shortly
With four and one-half game
lead and most of their hard games
behind them, the Pirates apparent
ly are unbeatable. The pitching
staff has been working to perfection
and the entire team has played
championship ball..
The crucial series will come at the
end of this week when the Pirates
meet the Giants in series. If the
Giants can shut Pittsburgh out,
New York stands an excellent
chance to win. The Pirates can ex-
pect an even break at least in their
remaining games with Chicago, Gin
cinnati and Brooklyn, which should
be sufficient to keep them ahead.
The Giants could do no better
than divide a double header with
the Reds Sunday, losing the first
game, to 0, and winning the sec
ond, 4 to 2. Lucas held the Giants
to three hits in the first game. In
the second, the Giants avenged the
defeat by turning on jake May.
A two-game victory over the Phils
advanced the Cards to within half
game of second place. Alexander
limited Philadelphia to seven hits
in the first game and won, to 8.
Littlejohn pitched the second
game, and, although the Phils hit
him hard, the Cards hit Ferguson
and Decatur harder. The result
was 8 to 3 in favor of st. Louis.
Boston broke a fifteen-game los
ing streak by beating the Cubs, IL
to 7.

CHICAGO. Sept. 19.-The good

American League campaign has
been this year, there was little or
incentive for the other clubs to keep
going at top speed.
It was hoped that the rule per-
mitting the first division clubs to
get share, in keeping with their
position, would make for continued
effort on the part of all the clubs
having chance to finish inside the
money.
Since finishing second ordinar-
lily means about $1,000 to each
player and fourth place means
about $500, it is easy to under
stand why the athletes would bat
tie for the money positions to the
very end.
