The Incredible Tunney
Will Irwin has interviewed Gene Tunney, and
ant of the interview with the heavyweight champion
of the world has ooipo a picture of an incredible
mauler, a bruiser who lives because of his ability
with punches, displaying an acquaintance with lit
erature and art that would confound the average
state university graduate, including, We believe, ,the
Nebraska candidate for Tunney’s belt, .Monte Munn.
The Dempsey who fell before Tunney was a
Dompsey softened by easy living from the wealth
that the prize ring had yielded him. The Dempsey
who won the championship was the kind of heavy
weight king authorized by tradition -— something of
a bum and outcast, a battler who knew little more
than to give and take sound blows. It is true that
Corbett had come up from the ring to become
“ Gentleman Jim,” an actor with more than a fair
amount of skill, and with an ability to write sent
ences that ran as straight and simply to their period
as an uppercut to the chin. He was the exception.
But Tunney—is he the produet of a new age?
In spite of all the ridiculous publicity that has
smothered him, surely tftere is some glimpse of the
true nature of the man when he says to Will Irwin:
“ You see, certain brilliant men are blind on the
spiritual side. Wells, though be believes in God, is
practically an agnostic. ^He doesn’t perceive spirit
ual values. . But he ties up history for me—puts
one era in relation to another as no one has ever
done before- And then there’s the vivid style. He
makes me see things.”
There is a certain naive simplicity in Tunney,
found in his professed belief of miracles, and his
one reversion to the slang of pugs, when he inserts
the emphasizing “ see?” in his talk. But a champ
ion who is caught by the allegory of “ Les Miser
a b le ,” who enjoyed “-The Way of A11 Flesh” be
cause “ of its original philosophy;” who apologizes
for his fondness for Dumas, who is learned in the
history of religion, who has read Gibbons’ “ Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire” clear through; who
thinks it too bad that Jean-Jacques Rousseau ever
lived and wrote; who calls Leonardo da Vinci his
favorite painter and Caruso in “ Pagliacci” his in
effaceable memory of a war-leave visit to Paris—
such a champion is unhelieveable.
Yet it is true. W ill Irwin says so, and Irwin is
a good reporter—which is to say he is accurate,
truthful, faithful in presenting this picture.
Do we want the Tunney type of champion? Or
isn’t prize fighting for the purpose of giving relief
to our cave instincts, and don’t we want to go to
•the ringside to see blood spout and hear the thud
of bruising fist and watch the conflict of giants who
resemble our cave-men ancestors? When we go to
baseball games do we not prefer the home-run
socking Ruth to the master-minded pitcher who
passes him? Are not sports the modern expression
of that side of man’s personality that, in ancient
days, permitted him to seize a club and go out and
buffet nature for a square mealf or a bride, or just,
perhaps, for the animal pleasure of buffeting?
A New Motor Fuel
From the time almost that gasoline was first
utilized as a source of power by the invention of (he
internal combustion engine there has been talk of a
substitute. As time goes on the feeling becomes
stronger that some day necessity will comjiel tbe
invention of this substitute. The earth’s groat reser
voir of gasoline lias not yet lieen tapped at all its
Iioints- Its whereabouts and its capacity are uot even
known, but it is widely believed that there is a defin
ite limit to the supply which may be reached at most
any time.
For this reason chemists have been experiment
ing with this and that, attempting to find the fluid
which combines just those properties that make
gasoline an ideal motor fuel.
Now a Rnssiau inventor living in Fraileé is
said to have discovered the combination. He calls
his new fuel makbonite carburant and extracts it
from coal tar. According to tbe report the French
navy is so well satisfied with the new fuel that it
baa l>een adopted as tbe official fuel for torpedo
boats and hydroplanes. It is said to possess the
added advantage of being non-inflamablo outside a
motor, but the paradox is not explained.
Next to tbe test of whether it will do the work
in a standard motor a substitute fuel must meet the
test of whether it can l>e produced at a price to com
pete with gasoline. The report of this new French
motor fuel does not mention the cost at which it
can be produced, but it might easily enough meet the
tests in France and fail to do so in America, where
gasoline compared with the cost in Euroj»e is com-
