though the process sometimes seems
deadly slow. Witness the following

Gov Sam G. Ford favors federal
agriculture department proposal to

Boxing Is Harmed

Tunney Contends
By the A,soeiotsd Press


WINNIPEG, Nov. 18.-Former
World Heavyweight Champion
Gene Tunney thinks boxing is
being spoiled by the Golden
Gloves.
Tunney, only heavyweight king
to retire undefeated, said here
in an interview that the as
sembly line tactics of a Golden
Gloves tournament rather than
building the sport, are slowly but
surely killing of fighting"
Tunney said that fighters must
be schooled and coaxed along
like horses.
The Golden Gloves annually
throw dozens of fighters into
rings opposite opponents Of whom
little or nothing is known. They
are forced to fight two or three
times In a night. which is
enough to sicken a lot of young
chaps on the game. On top of
that . fellow who is a slow
starter is apt to find himself
in the same ring with a fighter
who has dynamite in each mitt
and it's all over before the slower
boxer knows what hit him.

George, however, doesn't re-

Perhaps he no longer is acting.
