CHICAGO, Sept. IA new
worry has sprung up in the
Jack Dempsey household at Col.
Matt WINS spacious Lincoln
Fields race track. 1t is one of
those domestic problems which
few of US in this vale of strife
and economy ever face.
It amounts to this. Dempsey
will have to have every ounce
of his food strained from now
on, lest cut glass or its equiva-
lent gets into the lining Of his
stomach and provide him the
perfect abb should he lose to
Gene Tunney next Thursday.
For be it known that Jack
Dempsey's cook is the owner of
q $4,000 diamond, bracelet, a
gift of the former champion
himself, and if Estelle Taylor
ever hears of this, possibly Jack
won't live to face Tunney in
Chicago's coming $3 1000, 900 con
yention.
AS 4 token Of esteem for Mr..
Leo Preparedness Flynn, who
whipped Dempsey into the posi-
ton of challenger to Gene Tun-
ney via the Jack Sharkey route,
Dempsey bestowed the jeweled
wristlet upon Mrs. Flynn who
has come to take charge Of
Dempsey's diet from now until
the fight.
Low minds hereabouts are
now specluating on what would
happen should Mrs. Flynn abb
systematically mislay the jewels
and allow them to become in
yolyed in the hash or bouillon
or whatever it is they feed ring
gladiators on these days Of
$40 ringside seats which aren't
worth the amusement tax.
or should one nugget Of the
band become dislodged from its
mornings and fall into the
barley soup and thereby find
its way into the gullet Of the
chaIlengerwhat would happen
then?
THAT IS just a little sonle-
thing to worry about, dear
folks; that is If you're given to
worrying over other people 5
affairs which are none Of yours,
ours, or the ice mans.
Incidentally there may be
some live stock hereabouts to

LAKE VILLA, H., Sept. IT,
Gene Tunney was under strict
orders today to do nothing more
than nurse badly inflamed right
eye which was injured yesterday In
hts workout with Jackie Williams,
Chicago heavyweight.
The champions sparring exhibit
ton was called off late yesterday
after he had received a pOked eye
from Williams thumb while they
were in a clinch in the first round.
This was the second injury Tun-
ney has suffered in the same place.
Two Chicago oculists were
summoned to examine the I'm.
iured optic. They reported
there was slight danger OF
serious consequences as no
abrasion occurred. The eye was
discOlOred today.
Gene arose late, dispensing with
his usual work and came down to
breakfast in high spirits. Any
eleventh hour cares which may have
hung heavy on the shoulders Of
former champions about to defend
their titles. are alien to Tunney.
This afternoon he planned to go
for a drive. His last sparring ex-
hibition before he steps into the
ring against Jack Dempsey in
Soldiers Field September % is SEIZED.
uled for tomorrow afternoon, pro-
viding hts eye is all right After
that the camp will be closed to
the public.
According TO present plans,
Tunney will break camp here
on Wednesday. spending We'd
nesday night and the hours
before the fight Thursday
secluded In the home of q
Chicago friend. The address is
kept d dark secret.
One Chicago gambler came out
yesterday to watch the champion
work out and acted disguised. He
raised his voice to offer IS 600 at
5 to odds that Dempsey would
win. Tunney's camp followers
covered the money within fifteen
minutes.

JACK LAJ[)S
|. GENE sab
By Jack Dempsey

LINCOLN FIELDS, CRETE, ILL,
Sept. H. Gene Tunney taught me
plenty OF things in Philadelphia, and
one Of them is that he jabs with the
force and the crushing power that
most men generate only in hooks
and straight right.hand drives.
Tunney's jab Is different thing
than that of any man in the game
today; a greater and more effective
weapon than perhaps any other man
In ring history ever made out Of a
straight left.
| met lot OF jabbers before
Tunney's day. They We're jabbers-
and just that. They poked their
left hands at me with the idea OF
throwing me off balance or of halt.
Ing my attack. There never was
anything In those jabs, no force, no
hurt. They used their lefts merely
to flick at me-not to hurt.
And ! assumed that because they
jabbed in that way, and that there
was no menace in those jabs. that
Tunney's was about the same thing.

was all wrong about Tnnney.
Practically every fighter In
the world, even though he may
have respect for q left lab, has
no fear Of It. He will avoid Il,
II he can, but II he can't he
will take the jabs as they come,
figuring they will not do him
any harm.
thought that way when /
stepped into Tunney. / knew he
was q Jabber, but thought he was
the same as the others. He
jabbed me-and bang!-back went
my head. He jabbed again and
again and every time he nailed me
with that left hand he shook my
head, or ratified my teeth or cut
my face.
Tunney always has been
mystery to many fight fans.
They never could figure out
why it was that, although he
seemed to be doing little other
than jabbing his men, that he
won his battles and usually had
his enemy cut up before the
final bell. j was puzzled, too,
for / could not figure that
man was dangerous as . hitter
who dealt forth little more than

But Tunney's jab Is q crushing
punch-ard therein lies the answer
to the riddle.

left jab IN Philadelphia because ]
didn't think 1t meant much. But
I've learned my lessons. Tunney
whipped me with that jab-ths
power in 1t. It's dangerous
punch--for the other fellow. And
because I'm going to be the "othel
fellow" In this fight on the 22d
I'm going to be awfully careful
about Rushing my face and my
chin into its way.

Pull FOR
BOTH
BY Louis A. DOugher

Just because Washington Is in
the American League circuit. don't
run away with the idea that every
body here will be pulling for the
Yankees to win the world series
next month, cause faint so.
Furthermore, IL the Pittsburgh Pi.
rates triumph in the National
League-as seems most likely
whole lot of folks around here will
be pulling for DOME Bush and Joe
Harris to be on the winning side.
You see. DOME Bush has lost none
of his Washington friends. though
he hasn't been with the Griffs since
1898, while hundreds and hundreds
of fans here are still provoked that
Joe Harris was released last winter.
Since his departure from the Capt.
tai, DOME Bush has met with I'M
broken success. In 1924 he pil0ted
the Indianapolis club over the line
on the very heels Of the winners.
Only hard luck and Indictment
weather prevented his team from
winning the pennant. Again. In 20
and rs, he drove his Indians over
the line in second place. In addl-
ton, he succeeded In selling several
playerssfor fancy sums and baseDall
doomed in the IIoosier metropolis.
This year Bush WIS given Tine
team at the start. That Wss
nothing against him. But it means
that his task this year has been
to drive an experienced team right
down the line and. when it comes
to driving. DOME Bush is the driv.
INCEST little driver in many conn-
ties.
Finding Joe Harris available,
Bush Immediately signed him.
What he wanted was the veterans
nncanny skill in Strengthening out
curve balls. Few players in either
league are so effective against
hooks. Add to that his amazing
fighting spirit and YOU have the
Pirates first sacker to the life. The
Pittsburgh infieId Is SO per cent
weaker with Harris on the bench.
The Washington times., 1927-09-17

For most OF the season the
buII-thr0ated veteran led the

terday by rescue workers.
: When the rescue crew stumbled
across the bodies Of the two men in
little room in entry No. 10 of the
mine, 900 feet from where the ex-
plosion occurred Wednesday, they
found that the two men had torn
their clothing from their bodies and
stuffed it into cracks around the
room. The last desperate attempt to
shut out the poisonous air which was
sitting in failed, however, and it is
believed the negroes died few min

Attempt Fails
Today, the bodies of Is miners
who died as the result Of the expl0-
sion had been brought to the surface
and identified. No other workers are
missing and there remains only the
investigation to determine the cause
Of the disaster.
T. E. Jenkins, vice president and
general manager in charge Of the
mine, said that 40 men were at work
when the explosion occurred Wednes-
day. Ninteen Of them staved off
poisonous gasses by brecketing them
selves in one of the entrances. Sew
