Generous to His
Defeated Foe
Conqueror Says Conquered Is a Sports
man and Clean Fighter, and
Still Retains Hitting Power.
Philadelohia. Septt. 23. Tribute
tn the snortsmanshiD and prowess of
Jack Dempsey was the first thought of
his conqueror, Gene tunney, tne new
heavyweight champion.
"Dempsey is a sportsmau and a
clean fighter all the way," Tunney
said. "He fought me fairly tlivuout.
There was no suspicion of a foul blow
and don't let anyone te'l you that he
can't hit. His blows were terrific.
I was not hurt because I was In per
fect condition. I am sure that I hurt
him.
. "I have realized my life's ambition,
and as the champion I will carry my
self in a manner gratifying to my
friends and becoming a marine and a
champion."
, Tunney said he wished to give
credit where it was due in his devel
opment as the champion the United
States marines.
The only mark apparent on Tunney
was a bruised lip, which was cut in
training. He said he was fresh at
the finish.
Asked if he thought he could have
knocked out Dempsey. Tunney an
swered. "Perhaps," and then asked:
"Why?"
Lou Kink, trainer of Tunney in
other bouts, said that in his opinion
the slippery condition of the ring
in the late rounds, due to the rain,
had saved the champion from a
knockout.
"The ambition realized tonight,"
said Tunney, "dates back to the win
ter of 1918, when Bill McCabe of
Poughkeepsie, took me to a loft in a
Kinght of Columbus hall in Paris and
said: 'Gene, you're going to be the
heavyweight champion of the world.
It may be 1927 or 1928, but you'll
get there, mark my words.' "
"Well, I'm there, said the new
champion, "but we beat Bill's estimate
by a year."
McCabe, a friend of Tunney from
the boxer's youth, was timekeeper for
the challenger tonight.
Tunney will remain here tomorrow
and perhaps until Saturday before
returning to New York, where a
great reception awaits him.

ever, as much will depend upon the
appropriations which the coming
