TUNNEY DOUBTFUL
 ABOUT TWO BOUTS
Gene Believes That Dempssy's
 Retirement Is Genuine

New York. Feb. 2 R-Gene Tun- ney is back in New York rather doubtful whether he will be able to get tho two bouts he wants this year. because he feels that Jack Dempsey never will fight again.
 Returning from Miami Beach last night. the heavyweight champion outlined his plans for the year. dis closed his reasons for believing that Dempsey is through with the ring and said that regardless of whether he appeared in one or two fights this year the promoter probably would be Tex Rickard.
 There is no sane reason for be- lieving that Dempsey's retirement is not genuine" said Tunney. II be- lieve he is convinced he will be ex- posing himself to grave danger of permanent injury If he ever again engages in . boxing match and for that reason has decided to abandon boxing. I do not agree with the popular belief that Dempsey's retire. ment k part of a publicity or bally- hoo scheme. because I refuse to re- cognize the necessity for any wide- spread publicity. A championship bout is q championship bout. re- gardless of the amount of publicity it receives"
 Turning to his tentative boxing program for 1927, the champion said that whether he engages in one or two bouts depends upon ring devel- opments among the heavyweight contenders.
 "Rickard and I have reached an agreement for a fight in June against the man who makes the best impress sion in the Sharkey- -Heeney Delaney Risko eliminations. Because my plans with Rickard do not go be- yond the June bout hesitate to say that will have more than one fight. Of course I want two bouts but it may be that there will he no one available for q second match. But whether I engage in one or two matches it can be said that Rickard probably will he the promoter
 Here on business, Tunney plans to remain in New York for about ten days and then return to Miami Beach tN resume training.

KING 0F SLUGGERS

Babe Ruth Is the Backbone of a Powerful Baseball Machine

 Once the bad boy of baseball. the mightiest slugger of all time has en- tered . new era of prosperity and is now healthy. wealthy and happy.

 But Babe changed his ways. and since 1924 has saved s12o.ooo. He has invested s5o.ooo in an annuity fund which will pay him a hand some return when it natures in g. few years.
 He has depos.ted sas.ooo in . bank as an initial payment on a $2o0.0o0 trust fund. and has in. creased this payment to $7o,ooo. He saved the entire $70,0oo in ten months last year. matching dollar for dollar the great salary he now receives from the Yankees.
 All of Ruth's money is SO invested that no one. not even himself. cal touch. obtain or reduce the principle which makes the big fellow immune from all lawsuits and investments.
 As for his health, Ruth never felt better in his life. He spent the win ter in New York. but kept himself in shape by constant exercise both indoors and outdoors.

 Ruth is the backbone of the pow srful Yankee machine. but no one realizes 1t less than the Babe him. self. For all his publicity and achievements, Babe is a modest fel- low.
 Those Yankees are just about the best club that ever was put to- gether." he tells you. And I'm glad to play with 'em."
 Smart baseball men say the Yankees will SO on as long as Babe and Gehrig keep up their hitting, and from present appearances that is some times to come. Besides set ting . new record of 60 home runs last year, Ruth batted 1856 in 151 games.
 If Gehrig pushes him again this season like he did last, Ruth may eclipse his 1927 home run record.
 II never did think I'd break my record of 59, but I did" he says. Who knows. might break my rec ord of 60. l won't say it can't be done"
 Ruth began his professional base ball career with the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. He went to the Boston Red Sox as pitcher from Providence in 1915. The reported sale price was $o,9o". He played in four games ia 1914. but rIaleJ il 42 games the next season as a pitch CT and outfielder. He remained with Boston until after the 1912 season when he was sold to the Yankees for $1?5.ooo.
 In 1921 Ruth set his record of 5a home runs which stood until he broke jt himself last year Ruth had participated ln eight world series in his 15 full seasons in the American league.

He defeated Genaro recently but Gen arc was not to be beaten last night. Belanger put np gallant but futile battle. He found the New Workers defense hard to pierce and toward the end he himself realized that his only chanc 10 win lay in putting over a. finishing blow.
 Genaro led from the start. For 'eh most part he depended upon his St. pcrior boxing ability to win but at times he flung caution to the winds and slugged away. toe and toe. "1th his Canadian foe. Belangers left eve was badly swollen early in the fight and Genaro opened q. cut over the other soon afterwards. At close quarters, where Belanger had been figured to score heavily.

Squawks such as these make it in teresting. Some Meriden fans in back of the Meriden cage pulled out a, watch at the beginning of the last period and counted 15 minutes on ahead. When that IS minutes was up, they began to shout that tie period was being played overtime. They cared not about the rules of the game thaN call for time out a afler goals are made and until the ball is hit again, nor for outside balls or for injurieA but as long as 1T minutes of time had elapsed. the game should have been over.
 On the other hand. the time keep er, working the watch at the SCOT ing able. took the time out.snd as it went, New Britain won. However, for the sake of the Meriden fans, it might be we'll for the league officials to change the rules so that when- ever Meriden is ahead, period might be ended. That would assure Meriden of an unbroken line of vic- tories in the league.
