“1 Simply Adore Poetry" Says
Challenger For Dempsey’s 1 itle
GENE TURNEY
READS POETRY
AND HISTORY
Also Is Fond of Emerson, But
Does Not Care a Bit for
the Girls
CLEVELAND. 0., Nov. 21 —Mr.
Gene Tunney, sturdy ex-marine, who
figures to take Jack Dempsey’s
crown away from him by virtue of a
few straight lefts to the jaw, is eith
fer the weirdest pug that ever climbed
through the ropes or the greatest
kidder that America has yet pro
duced. You can take. your choice.
Most prize fighters talk in words
of one syllable and sharpen their I
jacknives on the backs of their necks, j
But Tunney?—Ah.
Tunney sat in an expensive suite
of an exclusive hotel here to receive
his interviewer. He was perfectly
groomed, looking about as much like
a pugilist as Nick Altrock looks like
a clergyman.
" Jsimply adore poetry,” lie be
gan.
“I just finished this Persian poem, I
‘The Rubaiyat,’ Ah, there’s a phil- ;
osophy for you! But that man was
a sad materialist.”
Church History
The interviewer clung to his chair i
and took a shot from his pocket !
flask of aromatic spirits of ammonia
to steady himself. Tunney proceed
ed:
“I spend most of my time reading
old church history. I think it’s fasci
nating and wonderful how things
happened and all that. Now, take
the Buddhists. Isn’t it marvelous
what they did?”
This from the gent who is either
the best or the second best prize [
fighter in America.
“I just can’t get enough of the j
opera.” continued Tunney. “There’s j
something about it—you know what
1 mean—just something that makes i
me respond. And the theater, that j
is, the solid heavy plays—l love it.” j
Tunney indicated a copy of Emer- j
son’s “Representative Men” lying on ■
his table. j
“It’s so erudite and yet so fascinat j
ing,” he commented.
The interviewer managed to get j
his breath long enough to ask Tun
icy u he liked the girls.
“Girls?” repeated the prize figh
■r. “Dear me, you must realize that
ihe sort of girl who would make a
lero of a prize fighter wouldn’t in- j
terest me. Such girls could give me I
nothing, either spiritually or mental
ly.”
SIGNS YOU CAN BELIEVE IN*
If your breath is bad and you have
spells of swimming in the head, poor
appetite, constipation and a general no
account feeling, it is a sign your liver is 1
torpid. The one really dependable rem
edy for all disorders in the liver, stomach
and bowels is Ilerbine. It acts powerfully
on the liver, strengthens digestion, puri
fies the bowels and restores a fine feeling
of energy, vim and cheerfulness Price

Gene Tunney in ring togs
Shades of John L. Sullivan and
j Kid McCoy! And this was the gent
'who knocked out the man that Demp
!sey couldn’t knock out!
Tunney explained next that he
once had “an instinctive aversion to
the primitiveness of prize fighting.”
But it was the war that started him
in the ring.
Tunney, you know, is absolutely
unique among prize fighters in more
ways than one. For instance, he
didn’t confine his fighting to the
prize ring, but went overseas with
the marines and did some mean
work with a bayonet and trench
knife. Then he came back home.
“If anybody had met at the dock
with a nice $35 a week secretary’s
job,” he said, “I would have signed
up for five years. Nobody did. But
plenty were were ready to start me
off at S6O a fight.
“N#, I’ve never been sorry, be
cause I can keep right up with my
church history and nature books and
can be an educated gentleman even
if I do fight.”
Those Open Spaces
Tunney looked out the window at
the park, where a wind from Lake
Erie ruffled the waters of a little
poole.
“You can almost hear the sough
ing of the wind across those great
open spaces,” he murmured. “I al
ways stay here when in Cleveland
so that I can train along the edge of
that picturesque little lake.
“There is something in me that
responds to the windswept spaces. I
| think that I am just a little child of
i nature.”
They carried the interviewer away
on a shutter. When he came to he
repeated the thesis at the beginning
of the story:
Either Gene Tunney is like no
other prize fighter that ever lived—-
7 he Gentleman
Gene Tunney in his street clothes.
Or else he takes great pleasure in
kidding unsuspecting reporters.
Maybe it’s a little of both.

Giovanni de Giorgie, concert soloist

which plays here Monday.
Thousands haVe been enthralled fay
the artistry of Giovanni de Giorgio,
cornet solist of the United States
Navy Band, now on tour and to b«
heard here Monday afternoon and
night.
To those who know music tech
nique it is at once apparent upon
hearing his clear, colorful tones, that
he has had exceptional training. Few
of his admirers konw. however, that
de Giorgio was a pupil of Prof. Pas
qualine d eSandre, of the great
Milan Conservatory. Yet such is the
fact and to it is due his wonderful
mastery of his chosen instrument.
The great maestro first met de Gi
orgio, a lad of ten, in the little city
of Torre Reggiero, Province of Ca
tanzaro, Italy. The boy was trying
to play a battered horn. A sudden
whimsy made the professor give his
young friend a few instructionn. To
his surprise de Giorgia learned quick
ly and well, showing a real talent, and
the maestro gave other lessons. As
de Giorgia gave further evidence of
the ability that later crowned his
