TUNNEY RATED ABOVE JOE LOUIS

JOHNSTON'S SELECTIONS

(By Harry B. Smith)

San Francisco, February 16. TWO men who really know what they are writ- ing about have picked their lists of best 10 heavyweights.

Jack Dempsey, deburred naturally from including himself in a list of "Ring Greats." puts Gene Tunney at the top of the list: and then Joe Louis as the No. 2 man. Jimmy Johnston.,match- maker for Madison Square Garden, Boy Bandit of the fight game, manager himself in the old days, sticks to John L. Sullivan as his "tops."

Both lists are interesting. Both are interspiced with com- Dempsy's ment that means even more than the selections. "Best Ten" follow:

1-Gene Tunney. 2-Joe Louis, 3-James J. Corbett, 4-| John L. Sullivan, 5-Peter Jackson,"6-Jack Johnson, 7-Sam Langford, S-Jess Willard, S-Tommy Gibbons, 10-Harry Greb
