Tunney, Mellowed, Amazes With Ceniality


He sat and slipped wine and
swapped loud talk with a score of
sports writer's and roundly deplored
the local movement to boycott
Schmeling's bout with Harry
Thomas Monday night at Madison
Square Garden because he is
NaZi.
Some of those who had tried long
but unsuccessfully to get acquaint-
ed with Tunney back in the days
when he was champion of the
world sat aside and listened in
silent amazement. Il can't believe
it's the same man" said one.
1t was the first time he had been
back to Summit since before his
first fight with Dempsey at Phila-
delphia. Nine. Bey said that hay
ing her two big boys" Tunney
and Schmeling, back home at once
was the biggest event in her life
since the day she saw Presi-
dent William Mckinley mortally
wounded.

The little gymnasium was packed
with townsfolk when Gene climbed
the hill to watch Schmeling toll.
They gave him a humping well
come. He watched the German
keenly, and didn't hesitate or split
an infinitive in picking him to
knock out Joe Louis cold again
next June.
He has the greatest right hand
I ever saw. Sc could whip Louis
tomorrow. There's no reason why
he shouldn't win his title back at
80. I wasn't yet at my peak when
I retired at 30"
The thing about Schmeling that
appeared to intrigue Tunney most
was his weight, the fact that Max
never varies more than q couple of
pounds from fighting trim. 1876, in
or out Of training. He eats any
thing he pleases, too. and goes to
at least two picture shows every
