GENE TUNNEY ON

ARRIVAL IN LONDON

By DEREK JOUN

London, October.

A human battle-cruiser has arrived in London from New York this month: Gene Tunney, ex-heavy weight champion of the world, now a prosperous business man.

Five months ago he had a kidney stone removed. But today, at 61, he looks remarkably fit. His hair is only slightly grey, his fighter's face unmarked. He weighs a little over 15 stone compared to 13 st 5 lb. when he was world champion.

When Tunney left the ring in 1928 he was worth, he saya, 130,000
