Doesn't it seem reasonable that an industry

investments in plant and modern machines,
that studies the best treatments for the

.TUNNEY THINKS
HEAVY CROW N
GIVES HIM EDGE

CHICAGO. Sept. CP-Has possess
sion of the heavyweight title given
Gene Tunney additional power even
though his body has gained not a
whit additional strength since he won
The title from Jack Dempsey last
fall2 Gene thinks so.
Unto the return fight with DENT
sey at Chicago shall carry the
subconscious conviction that 1 am
the master of my division, that l
am the champion-to put it frankly
that I am good and have demonstrate
ed my class.
cit is an instructive reaction thai
probably never will form as a definite
thought in my mind during the heat
OF the contest. But that knowledge
of power, now a part of my sub
conscious mind as a result Of my
last fight with Dempsey, has increased
my confidence tremendously ana made
me far better fighter"
The bearing of champion Shows
in every move Tunney makes in the
training camp. Seekers OF auto
graphs, determinedly storming his
door, meet Genes polite smile, word
or two, and the desired signature
no matter what important matters
may be pressing.
In training Gene is every inch
a champion. A sense of security,
not at all affected, envelops him
as he smiles, swaps banter with his
punch catchers and then hammers
home blows with ease and confidence.
The dogged seriousness or pretitle
days has disappeared in the realiza-
ton that someone else must worry
about winning the championship now
that his own ring mastery has been
proven. The burden of proof has
passed to other hands.
Gene is absolute master of his
own uestlny. In training settoes the
champion refuses to don the padded
helmet that usually protects the face
and ears of a fighter. Instead he
has absolute confidence in his ability
to avoid any extra punishment a
sparring partner may seek to dole out
when Stung. Gene too has a theory
all cutgroWth of the early days when
he was cut easily about the head
and bled freely, that punches taken
or the face form a layer of calIoused
skin over his eyes and across the
cheek bones that is difficult to pierce
How thoroughly the championship
virus has seeped into Tunney's bear
ing shows now and then in these
training skirmishes although much
against Genes real inclination. one
Of Tunney's proudest boasts is that
he never has injured sparring part
ner. Yet on rare occasions, a punch
sits through the champions guard,
bangs into his countenance and for
a moment Gene is king, fists flashing
turiousiy and brows lowered, defend
ing his standing as,sthe ruler of his
profession. Then Gene appears just
a. bit sorry, whispers to the youngster
facing him, and probably promises
himself mentally never to do that
again-at least until the night OF
September, %.

DEMPSEY LOOKS
BETTER AFTER
2-DAY LAY-OFF

LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, Ills,
Sept. 8, R)-After being carefully
examined by DR.. Joseph L. Russell,
physician, for the state athletic
commission Jack Dempsey started his
final two weeks of training today,
boxing five rounds with six SPAR
ring mates.
DR.. Russell pronounced the for
mer worlds heavyweight champion
to be in perfect condition. Demp-
seys heart, he said, was very good.
His blood pressure was normal and
he otherwise responded to tests per-
fectly. DR.. Russell made his exam
ination to comply with Dempsey's
application for license to fight.
Dempsey, in the opinion Of eX-
perts looked good after his tWo-day
layoff. He boxed mainly to acquire
speed and perfect defense for left
hands. He started off with a swift
round against Tod Morgan, junior
lightweight champion, and then
took on Rocky Russell, of San
Diego, Calf, Norman Link, Roy
Williams, a negro middleweight of
Chicago, Osk Till and Benny Krue-
ger in the order named
Link was unable to finish his round
because of being incapacitated by a
punch in the nose. His face became

semi-finals this season.
There were all the elements OF
drama to start with in the renewal of
their rivalry, aside from the fact thai
Americas back was perilouSly close
to the wall, but Tilden's performance
lifted it TO even greater heights than
had been anticipated. 1t was sweet
krevenge, therefore, for the lanky
American as he not only broke
Cochet's spell" over him but proved
to an astonished gathering that he
has come back for the biggest battles
of his tennis career with all his old
weapons, all his old mastery of stroke

1t takes a flock OF SuperlativeS to
tell the story of this "a year old vet
erans victory, how he out-dazzled the
dazzler, beating youth at the latters
own game, and bringing to bear a
slaShing attack that rolled up the
amazing total of SO aces and place
ments in four sets.
There were times when Tilden lapSed
from the heights to the depths, just as
there were moments when Cochet
held the upper hand But when big
them. Two streaks of brilliancy that
had Cochet seemingly helpless illus
trated this. The first occurred in the
third set when Tflden reeled off five
games in a row to take commanding
lead The other came in the final set
when big Bill" trailing at So, ran
off three straight frames to settle the
set and match.
Johnston's defeat by the % year old
LaCoSte, who holds the American sim
giles title, ended the California'S mas
terry over his French rivals in Davis
cup competition.
"Little Bill" it had been felt, held
the Indian sign" on these invaders,
but whatever spell his racquet weaved
previously was completely missing to-
day. Johnston had neither the strok-
ing power, the control, or the stamina
to Withstand La Coste's steady pound
ing. The outcome was apparent from
the first few games of the opening
set when La CoSte ran up lead that
he never relinquished.
OF the French aces total of 95
points, Johnston contributed 86 in err
rors. The Americans service also
lacked it's former effectiveness and
was broken through eight out of 13
times. Johnston was tragic figure
He tried pluckily to stem the tide,
calling on every resource, but except
for a squirt or SWo he was far from
the "Little Bill" of old.

BIG BILL Wins LEG Up ON DAVIS
CUP ASLITTLE BILL IS BEATEN
BY Rene La COSTE, CHALLENGER

GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8 tP-Wield-
ing as potent a racquet as he ever has
flashed in international tennis COM
petition, big Bill'' Tilden turned the
tables on his French rival, Henri
Cochet, today and enabled America to
break even with France in the first
two matches of the Davis cup chal-
lenge round.
Tilden, with an attack OF dazzling
brilliancy, outstroked and outplayed
Cochet in four thrilling sets, decided
by scores of GA, 2-6, 6-2, SO, after
the machine-like game OF Rene La
CoSte had crushed Little Bill john
Ston by the Stunningly decisive count
of 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
Johnston's rout was as tragic and
complete as Tilden's triumph was
spectacular. The little Californian
was only shadow of his former self,
lacking control as well as power in a
vain fight against the flaWlesS de-
Tense and tactics OF LaCOste. Tilden,
in contrast, seldom has reached such
astonishing heights of stroking genius
Slumping now and then, especially in
the second set, he. always was able to
lift his game to brilliant heights to
out-volley, out-drive and out-maneu-
yer Frances most brilliant performer.
Tilden, as a result, is the rock upon
which rested tonight Americas hopes
of successfully defending the Davis
cup in the face of the most formidable
challenge to this country's team su-
premacy in eight years.
So convinced were America S
StrategiSts of this, as well as of John
Ston's decline, that they switched plans
suddenly after today's play, announc-
ing that Francis T. Hunter, instead
of 'Little Bill'' will pair with Tilden
in the doubles tomorrow against
jacques Brugnon and Jean Borotra.
Four hours previously it had been
declared Johnston and Tilden would
carry the entire burden.
TO keep the Davis cup the Ameri-
cans will need triumph in the doubles
tomorrow as well as a victory by
Tilden over La Coste in Saturdays
singles, for Johnston, on his form to-
day probably will have a slim chance
of upsetting Cochet in the remaining
singles battle.
Disappointing as was Jollnstons ex-
hibition today, apparently marking a
definite decline in the gallant little
Californias game, it was more than
offset for the colorful crowd of 10000
spectators by Tilden'S thrilling triumph
over the youth who has been more of
a nemesis, to the American ace than
any other player in the past year. It
was Cochet who put big Bill" out of
the running for his seventh straight
American title last year and it was.
