Speaks About The Fight Game

Øene Tunney, undefeated heavy- weight champion of the world, ar- rived in Shanghal yesterday on the Andre Lebon, expounding opinions on four major questions regarding the modern prize ring, namely- that the present title-holder, „Max Baer, seems sure of his crown for another three or four years, that Carnera's failure, past and present, was due to misfunctioning of the pituitary gland, that Sullivan would not be able to hold his own in a modern prize-fight, and that the future champion must have knowledge of psychology, mborn perhaps, which must determine his actions in the squared 'arens.
