The impression Is ont that
Tunney II a high.brOw. Il
is, he Ii not 4 l0w-br0w, but
there Is, q wide gulf between
those extremes, and in the mid

He Is credited with being d

whereat you will spend what part
Of your busy life you have to de-
vote to the drama He hasn't time

We believe Gene Tunney is the
most misunderstood man III sports.
Next to Gene Tunney comes Buclxy

CHANCE IN
SEVENTH
BY Davis j. Walsh

CHICAGO, Sept. ,2S.--Jack Demp-
Bey! This writer, who is poor.
weak, humble and strangely CON
trite this morning, do hereby salute
you. You were a man, a great
man, last night as you failed to
win back your heavyweight cham.
pionship and it took a younger and,
for the mere moment at least, a
better man to beat you. Five years
ago-but why exhume the past and
apply it to the present?
The last bout for the heavy
weight championship of the world
was not fought five years ago. 1t
was fought last night and the bet
ter man. judged on last nights
standards, the better man won.
Gene Tunney! Man that you are
Of few words but big ones, give
you all / have in the way Of sincere
and honest admiration. You were on
the floor for a count that reached
the hat size of q Goliath, nine and
seven-eighths or something. But
you got up and you won and the
man who can do that Is the man
who may beset me forever more
with words that neither he nor
may be able to understand.
Dempsey had his moment. 1t
came in the seventh round when he
had Tunney within cplit second Of
being counted right out. Some
freely declare today that the mo.
ment was too long; that Tunney
was on the floor too long: that, in
reality, Tunney was out and Denip-
sey was in, which may be taken as
d fair example OF what manner Of
man this Dempsey Is,
He had them arguing on the
question OF fair or foul punch In
the Sharkey fight two months ago
Today. he had them asking whether
Referee Dave Barry counted nine
or nineteen in the seventh round
over Tunney. 1t did seem the part
of q long nine.

sey was. he was the loser because.
by his hesitancy. he proved that
he was not the killer of old.
Age does that to the Jesse
Jameses Of this life and It did it
again to Jack Dempsey In the
seventh round last night. But
whereas an aged Jesse might have
missed his man at 30 PAGES. the
Dempsey OF last night plugged his
prey hut couldn't keep him plugged.
And incidentally. he took quite q
plugging himself. which combina
lion Of circumstances has forced
me this day to bare my bald pate
In reverse to the Gene who so richly
deserves it.
We know why so many observers
thought Dempsey unbeatable before
1928.
1t was a great fight well worth
the record crowd of 100000 that
saw IL: well worth the record gate
OF $2.500,0O0 and well worth q $40
ringside seat, provided anything is
worth forty dollars and ringside
doesn't mean outside or nearly so.
The Washington times., 1927-09-23

However, two near-chumps
came on in an anti-cIimax after
the big fight and i noted that
when one Of them scored q
knOckdOwn and failed to retire
Ii d corner, the count was first
begun, then abandoned and
then resumed at the count Of
one after he had abided by the
rules. Dempsey was overriding
IN departing from his position
over Tunney's PROSTATE form in
that seventh round.
The Washington times., 1927-09-23

But what man he was, whether
he tarried or not. Even Tunney
must have thought Of that, ii he
thought OF anything, as he sat there
on the floor with his eyes blank
and dull. For Dempsey was q man
last night whose real greatness, In
3 physical way, was behind him,
but whose moral stamina simply
would not say die.
For all / know, since ! have cons
suited no one and do not wish to do
90, the assembled .ntelligentsia may
be muttering in its beard over that
count that Barry gave Tunney. They
even may be arguing H. to who ac-
tually won and lost the fight. They
shouldn't.
am conscious OF the fact that a
lot of men around this ringside are
soliciting opinions as to whether the
count was right or wrong, And
there You have the thing all over
agaIh--fair or foul; long 81 no count,
as we pool hustIers would say. As
see ii, the fact Of the matter Is that
Dempsey had his moment and
wouldn't take it.

FOREIGN CAROLS SUNG
BY MT. VERNON CHOIR
Eight, Nations Represented in Pro
gram Presented at Metho-
dist Church.

A novel type of Christmas program
was given ~last night at the Mount
Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal
Church South by the Mount Vernon
choir, under direction of r. Dean
Shure, when eight carols representing
eight countries were sung.
Departing from the usual type of
Christmas music, Mr.. Shure chose
carols seldom heard and yet typifying
the religious music of the countries
selected.
The choir did its best work in 1.-The
Slumber Song of the Infant Jesus"
of Gevaert. which was representative
Of France. The perfect blend of the
voices was unmarried by any uneven
ness of volume in the pianissimo and
the effect was of high order
Another outstanding bit of work
was the singing of Silent Night" rep.
resentative of Germany, in which Ell
vina Neal Rowe, soprano soloiSt, sang
the carol with the choir humming the
accompaniment.
The rousing Good King Wence.
slas" of England and the sonorous
Carol of the Russian Children" were
sung with fine spirit.
The beautiful, simple, lyrical setting
of "A Story Fair" of Lapland made a
fitting finale.
The other carols were 1.-THE Holy
Mother Sings" (America9, of Rhys-
Herbert; 'Out on the Plains the Shep-
herds Watching" (Spanish), and 20
Wonder Ineffable" Qtalian).
Miss Edith Gottwalls played the ac-
compartments, and DIR. w. A. Lam
beth. pastor of the church, read the
carols before they were sung.
The program will be repeated Sun
day evening. H. P. B.
