TUNNEY KEEPING FIT.
ROUGHING IT IN THE WOODS.
New York, Nov. 17-Gene Tunney, shunning the spotlight at spending a good deal of his timo roughing it in the woods, is already going about the ju of keeping hintself fit for his next title defineo.
Whether the heavyweight cham- pion stakes his, crown next in London or New York, against Jack Dempsey, Jack Sharkey or Paolino Uzcudun, he will be in' condition.
Dempaey may have caught Tun- noy of guard' in their famous seventh round but he didn't catch the blond marine out of condition.
Stamina, built up by a year- round training programme, saved the heavyweight crown for Gene Tunney at Chicago. No ORC knows that better than Gené. him- self.
"I never get ready for a light by an intensive programme of work a few weeks beforehand," Tunnoy fance explained. "I'm in condition all the time. My natural prefer- Jence is for a life in the open, [where "cru build up and deve-
lop my strength naturally."
The experts were a bit amazed at Chicago by the ease with which Tunney took matters before hist return battle with Dempsey. The champion mingled in society. He did little strenuous work with, the gloves, but what he did was enough to keep him at the desired ilge. No athlete was ever condi- tioned better for a hard fight than Tunney when he stepped, in- to the ring at Soldier Field. If he hadn't been at his physical peak, he could not have got up from the resin and won after the terrific series of shots his jaw Jabsorbed.
By the time the preliminaries start next spring for the next bat- tle of millions, Tunney will be in shape. He won't wait until Tex Rickard's elimination programme has produced the logical challen-
ser.
"Boxing is my business," the champion says, "As long as I am In it, I intend to make a thor- tough job of it."
