Tunney is a clever boxor, He has developed boxing skill by con- stant study through several years of training, Like all skilful boxers, he uses a very good straight left. This is an important part of his de- fence. Last year he ofter drove Dempsey back on his heels by pumping in left jabs in series- jab, jab, jab, jab, and then circling around for an opening to slip his right fist through. There is a sting in Tunney's jabs. Not that he can knock anyone down with a jab. He There la no doubt at all in my doesn't use it with knockdown Dairy Farms: mind that the boom in golf was force.
