nj Tunney, who has injected the
names of many prominent New
York politicians into the rec
ord. faced further cross-examinatlon
TODAY in the trial of Timothy j. Maras
suit for $4,000 of his fight earnings
The politicians were mentioned In
letters and kilograms introduced IN evl-
dence by the defense to show that otner
influence besides that of Mara, a sports
promoter, was brought to bear in an
effort TO prevail upon the New York
Boxing Commission to permit Jack
Dempsey to fight Tunney in New York
without first engaging In match with
Harry Wills.
Turney identified from the stand
communications between himself anc
his manager, Billy Gibson, in which the
names of former Gov. Alfred +. Smith
senator James Wadsworth, George
Olvany, former leader OF Tammany
Han: Secretary of State Edward Flynn
James A. Farley, chairman OF the state
Athletic Commission and now Demo-
cratic State chairman, were mentioned
In addition to the references by name

Tunney In California there was ire,
ouent mention of 1.-The little man 81

Tunney recited the efforts to keel
the fight out of New Jersey, where M

He testified Mara coerced him intf
agreeing to pay him Is per cent OF HI
