NEW YORK, June 6. (By Associ

NEW YORK, June 5. (By the As

In the heavyweight ranks who have
been tugging at the mantle of Jack
Dempsey, will square off tonight at
the Polo grounds in a 15 -round bout
to a decision.
They are Gene Tunney of New York
and Tom Gibbons of St. Paul, clever
boxers with punching power that has
been sufficient to dispose of many a
likely aspirant.
It will be a meeting of two veterans
of the world war, two exponents of
the same fighting stylo and two clean
cut warriors whose records place them
on a footing so even that opinion is
equally divided as to the outcome.
A 27-year-old eastern bachelor will
fight a 36-year-old western family man.
Two weeks from tonight a second
pair of heavyweight contenders will
be seen by a metropolitan audience.
They will be Harry Wills, negro chal
lenger, accepted - as an outstanding
opponent for Jack Dempseyt by the
boxing board, and Charlie Weinert of
Newark, N. J., conqueror or Luis
Firpo. Promoters meanwhile are
working on additional elimination
bouts, though Jack Dempsey has
cabled from Paris his willingness to
meet the winner of tonight's fight.

SPECIAL GUARD
FOR COOLIDGE
ON VACATION
Secret Service and Marines to
Be Assigned to Summer
Home of President Econ-
omy Nips? Usual Order of
Protection,
WASHINGTON. June 5. A care
fully picked detachment of marines
will aid secret service men In guard
ing President Coolidge during His
vacation stay at Swampscot, Mass.
Plans now being worked out call
for the use of some of the marines
doing duty with the Mayflower, the
president's pacht which will be an
chored at Marhlehead, near the sum
mer White House and for an addi
tional detail made up of men who
have distinguished war records or
have served at American embassies
or legations abroad. -
White Court, the establishment on
the coast which has been placed at
the disposal of President and Mrs.
Coolidge by their friend, Frank W.
.St earns, is situated on a neck of land
In close proximity to half a dozen
other summer homes.
There Is no fence around thin tract,
and. In addition to the one 'road en
trance which will bo guarded, there
are half a dozen or more trails and a
quarter of a mile to be wntched if the
president is to have seclusion.
Funds are not available to transfer
any of the White House guards to
Swampscott for summer duty, and it
has been decided to provide marines
to assume part of the guard duty
done hero by them and secret service
men.
Four or more posts will be estab
lished to provide protection on all
sides of White Court.. The marines
will wear khaki, and will carry side
arms only.
A mess will be established near the
president's house for the day's guard.
but those off duty will be quartered
and fed at sumo distance from White
Court, probably in tents.
Offers have been made to the White
House to use the Massachusetts state
police, but it Is said the secret service
marine guard will prove sufficient.
It is probable however, that some as
sistance will be give nby Lynn and
Swampseott police.
Details of the president's plans for
his vacation have not been made pub
lic but there is little likelihood that
he wilt find It convenient to Journey
to universities and colleges to accept
honorary degrees.
It appears that Mr. Coolidge has no
desire to possess the degrees which
have been offered by several institu
tions, including some of the larger
ones.
