latter part of his stay at Spectator.
n. Y, where he had been doing his
preliminary" training for the Battle
of the Millions, and after a careful OBJ
servation 1 would say that he is in
fine condition-too fine, in fact.
Tunney is not the type of fighter
who needs q whole lot of training of
the kind usually INDUCED in to condi.
ton a man. What he needs is mere
practice. He already is as good phys.
ically as he is going to be. He has
speed to spare. he is strong, his wind
is excellent, he is ready.

himself between now and the date set
for the fight, September o. A much
earlier date would be greatly advan.
tageous to him. Tunney is so good
that he is in danger of getting worse
instead of better. BY that I mean he
is in grave danger of entertaining.
However, Gene is forewarned, and
therefore forearmed. He and his
trainer, Lou Fink, know enough about
the game to keep from getting the

dons, or tightening of muscles, some
of the symptoms of an overturned
athlete.
DE Forest Cautions Tunney.
%Tunney showed in his sparring with
Billy Vidabeck and chap named
Frank Muskie that he was fast, and
that he could hit with power and &C.
curacy. l talked with him and told
him 1 thought he was in danger of
overriding his trairing if he kept up a
fast pace.
Il agree with you. Jimmy" said
Gene. But I'm not going to do the
real heavy work that generally Is
done in a training camp. I intend to
perfect my technique. l intend to
study out the finer points of ring gen.
eralship, and expect to spring a few
surprises on Dempsey and his board
of strategy.
You know, Jimmy" he went on,
this fight is going to be unique. 1t
will be battle of wits. I'll enjoy it.

DEMPSEY'S TRAINING FAILS

LINCOLN FIELDS. CRETE, ILL.,.
September 3 CR.-Jack DEMPSEY re-.
sumed his boxing again this afternoon,
after a two-day layoff, and, in the
opinion of experts, did not look as
good as he had on previous occasions.
With $500 spectators crowded around
the ring, Dempsey engaged three spar
ring mates and for the first time in
his training had to go against real
fghter-Allentown Joe Cans.
The round in which Cans faced the
former champion was swift and furi-
Gus, but Dempsey finally pulled out in
front because he was the buster of
the pair. He knew, however, that he
had had a workout.
He boxed four rounds, instead of his
usual three, facing Benny Kruger,

NELSON $ PLUNGE
 THROUGH THE |CE
 WAS NEARLY FATAL
DETAILS OF REGENT ESCAPE ON LAKE SkILAK IS RELATED;
 IN WATER TEN MINUTES

The details of the narrow escape from death by George Nelson, one of the best known guides and big game hunters in the Territory, and part ner to Henry Lucas, when he plung- ed through the ice on Skilak Lake last month, February 5, was learned last evening for the first time.
 In running his trap line over the lake the ice suddenly gave away and down he went, a 25 pound pack, snow shoes and all Tn coming up he bumped the ice but fought his way clear and then the struggle be- gan to get back to solid ice. For ten minutes-the thermometer had registered seven below zero that morning-Mr. Nelson fought through
 
 of 20 feet. it is stated, before he was able to get on ice strong enough to bear his weight. While in the water his fingers became numb from the intense cold and contact with the ice and it was only by the use of his forearms was he able to get out. During the struggle he loosened the pack which weight alone was enough water it had absorbed, was enough to pull a man down. It was impossi- ble to discard the snow-shoes, how ever, and there was many times when MT. Nelson feared he would become entangled in them.
 It just happened, it is said, that in his pack he had about the best of rything he possessed including a high priced camera and extra good clothing. An ax and an automatic revolver also went to the bottom.
 After crawling on his stomach for a distance of about 50 yards he rose from the ice and headed for a tenn porary camp located a mile and one- half from the lake. It was with great difficulty that he finally reach ed it. Skin peeled from his face, hands and body and even at this late day, a month after the accident, his finger tips are still far from normal.
 It was the narroWest escape that he ever went through and for that reason he seriously contemplated go- ing on to Moose Pass station today and hiking down Quartz Creek to the lower landing, Kenai Lake, in order GO escape the propability of the lake ice being in poor shape for travelling over.
 MT. Lucas, who has been in town with MT. Nelson the past week, also departed today.
