Tunney Confident Master of Jack in First Round—Demp
sey Showed but Half the Form Displayed Against Fir
po Three Years Ago—Tunney Stunned Several Times
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24. (/P)—When Tunney was
announced as winner, the defeated and battered Dempsey
rushed over and threw both arms around the new cham
pion, shaking his gloved fists warmly. “It’s the same old
story, the best man won,” said Dempsey as he crawled
out of the ring. Dempsey did not appear to be within
the 50 per cent of the ripping, tearing fighter he was,
r * when he defeated Firpo three years ago. The first punch,
a savage right to the peak of the chin, apparently took all
the fight out of him. He revealed flashes of his old-time
form in spots but his blows were wild and lacked their
usual sharpness of delivery. Dempsey made two or
three game attempts to whip over a finishing punch but
Tunney, although stunned several times, managed to keep
on his feet, although he was in distress two or three
times during the battle.
FOUR MEMBERS BE
PETE MARINOFF, SELF ASSERT
ED BOOTLEGGER, ON

NEW YORK, Sept. 22. (£>)—Failure
of the United States to keep the ob
ligations made by President Wilson
4' in 1919 in Paris is given by Colonel
Edward House as the cause of Franc’e

■“France victorious but defeated” in a
current magazine.

which came into port with a good siz
ed fare departed yesterday at noon

DEMPSEY WEEPS IN ROOM
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24. (£>)—
Jack Dempsey wept when lie reached
his hotel room where only Jerry, the
Greek, his trainer, and Mike Trant,
a companion, were present to comfort
him. The dethroned champion buried
| his face in his hands, but in a few
'seconds he quickly regained his com
posure. Dempsey said he wants a re
i
turn fight and declared he knew he
1 was licked as early as the eigtli round.
1 He did not want to wait for the ver
dict before congratulating Tunney and
‘said “I couldn’t get going and I am
glad I lost the championship to an j
American.” The heavyweight title
changed hands on a decision for first
time in nearly four decades. Demp
sey reigned for a seven year period,
equalled only by Jack Johnson.
Ed. Note—John L. Sullivan held the
heavyweight title of the world from
1882 to 1892.
Never Doubtful of Outcome
RINGSIDE— Tunney’s smile was
1 aid aside for a thin lipped look of
determination during the fight but the
smile returned as he left the ring
i
amid a wildly enthusastic group of
admirers. He said “I am naturally
gratified but I knew soon after the
start that I was the champion’s mas
ter. I fought a carefully planned bat
tle. Dempsey was game and he gave
me trouble but I never was once
doubtful of the outcome.”
Return Match in Offing
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24. (/P)—A. T.
Jergins, and J. R. McKinnie, Long <
Beach oil operators, announced they -
had telegraphed Dempfey and Tunney '
that they are willing to place a §750,- '

Regardless What State of Condition People Are In They
Always Want Change.—Folks Are Pretty Well Off,
Change Would Not Make Them Feel Better—More
Money Would Not Satisfy Them
SEATTLE, Sept. 24. (/P)—In the President Coolidge
copyrighted Associated Press interview, he told Bruce
Barton “A brisk walk is unexcelled as for relaxation and
restoration of vigor. I always liked poetry and in my boy
hood read Scott, Whittier and Burns. These have
given me more pleasure because they wrote about the life
I lived as a boy. Now I have little time to read books and
magazines except things bearing on the problems before
me. I read extracts from newspapers clipped daily.
George Washington is more completely my favorite char
acter in history and close to him Abraham Lincoln. The
standards of society are rising and only people of strong
moral fibre can maintain them.
The only handicap wealth gives
boys is that of removing necessary
hard work. Nobody accomplishes
anything without work. I don’t believe
the country boy has the advantage
aver the city except having to work
larder. My hand became toughened
from handshaking but does not tire.
[ don’t find much time to shop. Things
are brought to the White House. I
lave concluded whatever our state we
always wish for another. I don’t say
wd ought to be satisfied but most of
as are about as well off as can be and
a change wouldn’t make us feel bet-!
;er. More money wouldn’t satisfy us.” i
