Mackie is in Portland and will not arrive in Salem until Thurs day afternoon. He has hia own gymnasium in the big city, and has been going through an inten sive training to fit himself for the terrific battle he enters against Bayei. Aside from Ted Fox and Andy Joreg, two young chaps who will appear in the semi-wlndup. Plant is not yet ready to anounce his preliminaries. They will be on hand, however, to make the total card 28 rounds of good boxing. Matchmaker Plant has made it plain that the fans themselves will decide Thursday night the kind of boxing they want this winter. He has an impressive program mapped out which can only be rarred through with firm support of his patrons.

"If the attendance Thursday night is big enough to. indicate a real desire on the part of Salem fans to see high class boxing, they will get it. All I have to do is sign the fighters, when I know that the fans want them," Plant declares. Stanley Frye, local boxing In ftructor, and one time champion ot the Pacific fleet, will serve as referee at the fight, and at suc ceeding ones this winter. Frye is a thorough student of the game, and noted for his fairness. Tickets are going rapidly, ac cqrdjng to Plant, several blocks being taken by people in towns near Salem.

Sept. 27.-X(AP) The crisis Gene Tunney expect ed to face sooner or Kater in his ring career coming up from the floor, dazed and wobbly at the count of nine taught Abe heavy weight champion something new about psychology. On his homecoming today from the Soldier field battleground. Gene told how for several years he had planned to meet the situa tion that confronted him when Jack Dempsey floored him in the seventh round of the spectacle on the Chicago lake front. OutId on 4 2nd atree. more than 1,000 fans yelled for a sight of the champion who rose from the resin dust to pound Dempsey Into submits 'on for the second time. They had met Tunney as he came into Grand Central station rfrom Cleveland, rushed the guards closed in to shake his hand, and had pursued the big marine thru an underground passage to a ho tel lobby and thence to the front of Manager Billy Gibson's offices Now they wanted a speech Situation Studied Unm'ndful of the racket out side. Gene sat on the top of the same desk, in the same position in which he greeted friends and scribes after stripping Dempsey of the title at Philadelphia last fall. His mind was full of pschy chology and the reaction he had planned for the crisis a reaction that never came. "Ever since I entered the pro fessional ring In 1919. I have known that sooner or later I must be knocked down. I also knew that when that happened I must iget up, come on. and win my fight despite the handicap. "I had worked out two lines of action. The first was to get up and camouflage my real condition by letting go a right hand punch with everything behind it includ ing a prayer that it landed. The second was to get up and dive in to a clinch, holding on desperate ly no matter how the referee tried to break us, and if necessary to go down again for another nine count from whatever punch came next; If my head was not clear I planned to take still another count and so on until I regained my senses. Decides to Run Instead "Rut when I actually found myself down 1 realized my plans were foolish. I couldn't gamble with my title. My best chance vasmake Deinpsey follow me and I thought: He can't catch me.' ; V-V; "Dempsey always' has had trou ble hitting'-a man-' who was going away from -hlm.-HM greatest suc cesses' have - been scored a gains men- w-hb (afrled taef fight to hlni,' trying to outslam the master slam mer at his own game. "They.aay that ' I ran away from Dempsey. Toil don't realize that I could have travelled twice as fast if I had wanted and if I had been hart just a bit more. In aead I regulated my pace, putting on stream when I thought it nec essary, and 8lo wing .enough to let Jack catch up whenever I thought he would come close enough for a stiff counter wallop.. "My bead was clearer right then than at any moment from the time I reached Chicago three weeks earlier. All the cobwebs left in my brain by the heat of Lake Villa and the excitement of the day. were swept away by that series of punches to the head in the seventh round. Jack's Attack Stopped . "Those counters stewed Demp sey up even in the aeventh. Two in particular I remember, both solid smashes to the chin. As SEE . Bridge ainige and Demonstration at the in the New OlTGTLMa GIESE- POWERS : 'Jurniture Company THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON, A rmory they landed I could almost see Dempsey los'ng hi advantage and thinking to himself: 'I'd better watch out myself or this fellow will knock me out.' "Then he beckoned 'Come on and fight,' admitting his own Ina bility to control the situation. It certainly was gratifying to think that again I was master even tho I had been on the floor only sec onder before." Gene smiled at the recollection and then explained how the firvt principles of "situation mastery" had been pounded into him by one of his early fistic tutors. "I've forgotten his name," Gene said, "but his teaching was this: 'If you can be master of every ait- nation even when you are being Hcked. you'll be great. Know when to box, when to slug, when to protect yourself at all costs, and then box enough and slug en ough to keep things under control even when you are being outboxed and outslugged-' " "Floor Comfortable" Tunney said he was startled In viewing the motion p'ctures of the fight to realize that Dempsey lan ded six smashes on he chin before the crash in the seventh round. Gene said he felt the first three only and that his first impression as his bra'n cleared was: "Gosh, but this floor Is comfort able." Referring to the "long conn:' controversy. Gene said the referee warned both him and De rupee y on the knockdown rules just be fore the first bell. "The referee, Dave Barry, call ed nr; both 'Boys. " Tunney said 'and the lant thing he said to us was: 'In case either of you boys score a knokdown. the boy who does goes immediately to a neu tral corner or I won't count."

(AP) Jack Dempsey came out tonight with a flat denial of Gene Tua ney's. claim regarding final In structions from Referee Dave Barry in the championship bout at Chicago. "I received no warning or in struction about retreating to a neutral corner in the event, of a knockdown," Dempsey told news papermen. "1 feel that I lost the decision through the fault of i referee who was not favorable to me. I knocked Tuney out and I can do it again. I want another match with him and I'm going to do my best to get it." , NEW YORK. Sept. 27. (AP) Jack Dempsey came to New York looking for a fight. Far from being through with the ring, after his second losing battle with Tunney, Jack expects to go gun ning for the title he lost a year ago and failed to lift last week. The method of his procedure he did not care to divulge, but b was emphatic in declaring himself ready for anybody. "I'll take on Tunney, sure, or anybody else." he said Asked if he would fight for Tex Rickard, the former champion said he stood ready to do business with him or any other promoter who had anything attractive to offer. Jack was in good spirits when called from hia hotel suite. The only apparent mark of the Tunney battle was a cut over one eye, but it had almost healed. "I have two fights under my belt and I'm ready to get started" Dempsey told newspapermen. "When do you expect to fight?" "Anytime, anywhere." "Would you fight Tunoey right away?" "Sure almost right away." Dempsey said the measures be ing: taken to retrieve the decision in the Tunney fight were entirely in the hands of Leo P. Flyim. bis manager.
