Page Two Gene Tunney to ' Manage Himself j While in Ring! r . i Will Wear No Apron String' But Will be Permitted to : Think for Himtelf While ' Mixing With Demptey STiiounsnrno. r.. sept, h (lolled News! (lene Tunney. the somewhat Intellectual heavyweight challenger, will wear no apron atrlugs when he enters the ring against Jack Dempsey. He will re ly leu on advice from such mental inferiors as his seconds than any fighter in recent yearn, according to Billy Gibson, his not so intellectual, and yet not so dumb manager. Even Gibson will talk to his tighter but briefly on the day of the fight, and once in the ring he promises. "Gene will he his own master," without outside steering except in esse of emergency. t'pon the possibilities of this emergency Mr. Gibson did not ex paud. "The second Is an important man." Gibson explained, "and he must be ready for whatever comes up. But he can't tell a fighter how to fight his fight. The fellow up there is being hit and' nobody known how badly he is hurt like he does." Gibson sniffed at the Idea of Jack McAullffe. Jimmy de Forest. Matt Hlnkle of Cleveland and others here that Dempsey excelled In fighting instinct, co-ordination of brain and body and other important factors. "If Dempsey fights the same fight be fought against Firpo he has not a chance in the world." he contin ued. "There was no intelligence there. Instead it was a dock work er' fight a catrh-as-catch-can. Anyone who throws all his Intelli gence into the Delaware canal won't aland a chance against Tunney." "Are you sure Tunney Isn't too humane too gentle?" "Everybody else thought the same thing about Tunney. way -back." Mr. Gibson answered with assur ance. "The marines couldn't un derstand why he ever enlisted with them. And every opponent he has fought felt be was too nice a fellow to be jn the wrong. Erminio Spnl la came to me before the tight and said he didn't want to knock Tun ney out he liked him so well, and soon afterward Erminio had taken the count. Everyone thought Tun ney was too gentle-when' he fought Carpentier. Gibbons and Madden, but they all were down." Dnback's Henchmen Aecept Challenge Of Black Pelicans A The Klamath Pelicans last night accepted the redhot challenge thrown them yesterday by the "Black Pelicans," rebel aggrega tion, according to Manager Eddie Duback. and will meet the pirate band of ball tossers on any terms at the fairgrounds Saturday. The game will he played In con nection ' with the Klamath county fair, Duback stated, and will serve as entertainment to fair-goers as well as local baseball fans, on the closing day of the agricultural ex position. The Pelicans (white) had orig inally planned to play some rival league team on Saturday, but with the challenge of the Black band flaunted before them, the Klam ath baseball club could do naught hut declare combat with ye buc caneer of baseball. The rebel group has been orga nized by Krenchy Baynese. former third baseman for the white Peli cans who left the local team early In the season to play with Med ford. Frenchy is a capable boy himself, and has gathered into his crew a number of players whose experience Is said to be wide and ability high. In the group are Southpaw John son, a quick and tricky tosser: BUI Franey, catcher of Tepute; P. M. Noel, Max Xewsom and an out fielder, ftprlggs. all dark horses to the dopesters. The balance of the aggregation are all good men and true, Frenchy declares, and quite fit to crack hats nn any hall a white Pelican ever threw toward the pan. "These birds won't get to first base,"' Is the opinion of Eddie Du back, who ventured the remark with considerable heat. Evidence of enmity Is in the sporting ozone, presaging fast and furious base hall, Unofficial or otherwise, the tilt should prove to be one of real merit and fans are looking for ward to nine Innings of wholesome fun and diamond frolic, colored with friendly Inucndoes ad lib. - AM KMC AX LKMiVK Philadelphia ' at Chicago, rain.

U.-r-l flitted News The world's hautamwelght boxing championship hat changed hands suddenly without the strik ing of a single blow In the prlte ring. The new title holder is Hud Tay lor of Terra Haute, lnd. He was named Tuesduy afternoon by the new Illinois boxing commission, which at the same time dethroned Charlie Phil Rosenberg, who was to have defended his title against Taylor In a 10 round bout here Thursday night. (The suspension of Rosenberg was for. life and came unexpectedly as the result of the champion's fail ure to post a $11,000 forfeit even after the commission had granted him several days of grace. Harry Segal, the deposed cham pion's manager, went into banish ment by the sauie order which lifted the crown and placed it upon the brow of the contender. Segal was as much at fault as Rosenberg, the ccmmUsion held, in violating the forfeit rule. Huncke's statement said the deci sion was "to protect boxing in Illi nois." "It Is our opinion." the state ment said, "that Segal and Rosen berg are not the caliber of men that should have to do with box ing in the state of Illinois. Their unsportsmanlike attitude, coupled with the disregard for rule, has prompted this action." "Bud Taylor has been designated by the commission to receive the world's bantamweight championship because of his cooperation with the commission in the attempts to bring about the bout and also be cause of the heavy expense to which he has been subjected. "Further, we believe that If box ing Is to survive it must v bo kept absolutely clean, and having this in mind the commission feels that there Is nothing else It can do." INDIANA COURT IS WITHOUT AUTHORITY PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 14. (United News) An Indiana Injunc tion apparently hasn"t the slightest deterrent effect on 1'ennsylvaniarts. who, backed by an opinion of At torney General Woodruff, are go ing ahead with their plans fos the Dempsey-Tunney fight.- -- . The injunction is "absolutely in effective" in Pennsylvania, Wood ruff said in commenting on the ac tion of Superior Judge Givan of Indianapolis in preventing Jack Dempsey from meeting Gene Tun ney. because the former has not fought Harry Wills. "The Issue is between Dempsey and tbe Indiana court." Woodruff said. "If Dempsey violated the in junction he will be subject to pun ishment In Indiana, but there is no reason why Pennsylvania should interfere with his engagement here." PACIFIC COAST I.KAGl'K Club R.
