By WALTER TRUMBuI.L.

TTis a big day in sport when a
heavyweight champion wiiass bis
title. 1t is another big day When
4 he voluntarily hangs up his crown.
In the filllness Of his health and
strength. at his best physically and
mentally, at the peak of his career,
Gene Tunney has chosen to retire from
the ring. Under the circumstances, II
seems to me that this took as much
courage as any of his fights.
/ think that Tunney is wise young
man. The universal tendency is to
stay in the game too long. No boxer
ever yet has won a decision against
Old Man Time, but most of them keep
on battling him You see men who
once were champions, with no shadow
of their former greatness left. being
beaten by second-raters who once
wouldn't have climbed into ring with
them You hear these hasbeens pitt
fully boasting that they are still "as
good as ever" This never viii happen
to Tunney
Gene never will fight that one bout
too many. He retires as great and
undefeated champion, who has been a
credit TO his profession and himself.
He will never return For him the book
of boxing records Is closed. Healthy,
wealthy and young. he will break a
brand-new trail. I believe that he
viii go far on it.
Knows His Own Mind.
Tunney Is young man who knows
his own mind. makes his decisions after
careful consideration, and sticks TO
them He came to the decision several
months ago that there were things in
life he wished TO do outside the box
ing game. that the ring has given him
all he wished from 1t and that the
bout with Heeney would be his last pro-
fesional appearance.
He has done much for boxing and
boxing has done much for him He has
demonstrated 10 boys that man can
lead a clean, healthy iife improve his
mind, study art. music and literature,
and still defeat any opponent in the
world with the padded gloves
He has shown that man can speak
softly and punch hard.
For its part, boxing not only has
given him money, but 1t also has
brought him real and close friendships
which rust cannot corrupt nor thieves
break in and steal.
GpecuIations as to Tunney's future
activities are idle and, moreover, he
feels that from now on what he does
Is nobody's business. IL Is wearing OIL
the nerves to be public character.
The job carries too much iimelight
and too many innihitions with it. IL
must be a relief 10 draw the curtain
for time and know that rising and
retiring hours. breakfast menus and
books read IN spare time are no longer
important matters for publication.
As a matter of fact, Tunney him
self has no definite business plans for
the immediate future. He is going
abroad, not as the champion Of the
world. but aa any young man Of leisure
might go TO see the things OF interest
which foreign countries hold.
In his farewell address at the lunch
con at the Biltmore yesterday Tunney

too much temperament has been
displayed by Jetta Goudal.
"The most absurd thing in the

DOROTHY BIDS
FOR FRILLY
CLOTHES

Most Of Dorothy Mackaill's fan
mail is from women admirers.
They want to know ali about
styles; how to get a trim boyish
figure such as Dorothy has.
But for all that, Dorothy's
screen vehicles rarely give her an
opportunity to display feminine
finery.
In waterfront" the First Ma.
tionaI synchronized attraction
which is now playing weeks
engagement at the Earle Theater,
Dorothy wears sailor suit most
of the time, alternating 1t with a
simple. but well.fitting tailored
costume.
When William IA. Setter began
directing this picture from an orig
nal story by Will Chapel and Ger
trude Orr, Dorothy ventured the.
opinion that chic frocks would be-
quite a happy innovation instead Of
the careless navy clothes.
But she was doomed to dis
appointment. Now she must wait
for ..Changelings, Don Byrne
story, which will be her first
''talkie," and which George Fitz-
maurice will direct. In that pic
ture, Miss MackailI will wear
many fashionable outfits.
Miss MackatIl is considered by
many women to represent an
ideal OF fashion and good taste.
she generally dressed simply. but
with keen regard to detail. In
many ways, she has an advantage
over the average woman in that
she is extremely slender; but the
frankness OF her manner and
her apparent lack of makeup or
artificiality have emphasized her
charm even more.
