SE US" PICK
' The "wise ones" in Portland are
picking Ad Mackie to take the
measure of Phil Bayes, local bat
tler, In their mix at the armory
Thursday nifcht. according to
Harry Plant, local promoter.
, Plant, himself, feels that Mackie
has a little edge on Bayes. Both
men are in the pink of condition.
but Mackie has had more ring ex
perience, and is anxious to dem
onstrate to Salem fans that his
challenge to Bayes on two pre
vious occasions were not mean
ingless. 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. Benny Pels will
probably be matched with the win
ner 'of the show Thurday night,
and from then on the signing of
headliners and ring favorites of
coast boxing will be a mere' for
mality with Plant, it the followers
of the game here want them.
"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.

Tunney on Arrival in New
York Tells How He Did It
NEW YORK. 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

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

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."

DEMPSEY READY
FOR ANOTHER GO
NEW YORK. Sept, 27. (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.
