Hrltish sportsman, the Kxpress re- j
tarn . to' the ex-champion as "the
embodiment of he-man decency."!
Tunney scored one of the great-
est knockouts of his life, the pa
per says, by gracefully hobnobbing)
with tho literary celebrities and
other notables attending the party.
In a toast to the guest of honor,
Lord Denies called Cieno a "groat;
gentleman' 'and hoped he would j
have much success in "his chosen i
field of literature."
The young Marquis of Clydes
dale followed with a brief speech
and tho ex-champion replied with
graceful phrases of appreciation.
"I don't know why you make
this fuss over me," Gene said.
"What is boxing? The ability to
coordinate mind and muscle at a
critical-moment, that is all.
"Yet you receive me with all this
acclaim. If I had been a great
painter I would have been met by
a couple of long-haired men and
short-haired women; had 1 been
a famous literateur my welcomo
would have been lert to posterity."
lUe denounced tho "killer" type
ns a menace to boxing, declaring
the only joy to be obtained in a
fight is by facing a man of phy
siclal and Intellectual equality.
Noting that Tunney's dinner
jacket failed to hide his shoulder
muscles, the Kxpress writer's first
Impression from the American's,
appearance was as ho puts It in
today's edition: "Here was a moun
tain guide who ought to be some
thing better, a man you would
trust your sons to on a camping
holiday, a man you would trust
your daughter to' anywhere."
Gene's speech is described as a
trimph of sincerity that carried
nil before It. The speaker is char
acterized as "an orator to whom
words are music."
"Here was a speaker who had
knocked the language cold and
claimed a championship over Its
dead body," the writer says.
