But he has gone out of my class He is the cleverest boxer and the hardest hitter I ever met." It was after disposing of Harry Greb as a light-heavyweight champion that Tunney really began to fight. Study of boxing and constant training to perfect himself in every art of the ring had put Tunney where he could "cut He was slowly gaining in weight and had become ambitious to work his wayup to a fight with Dempsey for the big title.

Last year, after beating Martin Burke, he tackled Erminio Spalla, the big Italian champion who had just given Firpo a tough fight in the Argentine. I'll never forget the right hand punch Tunney landed on Spalla in the seventh round. It sounded like a sixteen round shot go-ing through an empty flour barrel, and it completely changed Spalla's appearance. Spalla had one of those oval Italian faces before Tunney hit him. Ten seconds later he looked like a potato that had been accidentally working well.

Wills has been made a big figure among the heavyweights chiefly by the ballyhoo accompanying his challenges to Dempsey. Wills is a giant in size and strength, and he knows how to box. But he is too slow.

He can't fight without holding his man with one hand and walloping away with the other. And in spite of his bulk he isn't a hard hitter. The best proof of that is Wills' ring record. Gene Tunney has developed a knockout punch that can easily be compared to Demp-sey's. He can land it on a fast and clever man.

He did when he knocked out Tommy Gibbons. He can land it on the toughest V( them, as he did when he knocked out Bartley Madden in three rounds a few days ago. No one else had knocked Madden out, and Madden has fought nearly all of the heavyweights. Harry Wills fought Madden 15 rounds a year ago last June, and although he won close decision he made little impression on the rugged Irish heavyweight. ills was anxious to stop Madden to help the ballyhoo for a fight with Dempsey.
