PAGE EIGHT EL TASO POST THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 1927 CULLEN HERE FOR FIGHT Not Worried Over Cullen J. C. STARS PLAY AT MINES V- Postmortems By BOB INGRAM Has Hard Bout Picking Tunney I has almost become an irreslst- able habit of mine to believe inat no harm can beiaJl a champion in a title light, PJver smce Jess Willard, the giant hulk ot a fighter, wore the toga. I have been sticking with the champions.

1 thought Willard would crush Dempsey, who was a mere dwarf as compared to the heavyweight champion. I believed Dempsey would knockout Tunney of iour rounds. And now 1 am stringing along with Mr. James Joseph Tunney to retain his Drown, Champs Invincible Poor logic this picking champion to win simply because champion. But champions as a rule have a particular way of making the public think they arc invincible.

There arc other reasons tho why I think Tunney will beat Dempsey in their second meeting. The fact that the marine whipped Jack the Dempsey at the Sesqui Is one big reason why I believe do it again despite the IManiissa statementh that he wasa't right that rainy night. Tunney Younger Tjiiney at U9 is live years youugri Ihiin Dcnipcicy at 32 He has taken carc cf Jiiinseii so that nc really Icoko llic i)arl ot a youtn. 7 on tlir other hand has ngcd. tlie speed he used lo porscx-s.

Mis log.s have become '1 hej- say his 1 niiii-clfrous as ever but nir.ny who say 3i the old is gone. WHITEY BLACK Whitey Black will have a hard fight on his hands when he meets Chihuahua Kid Brown in the semifinal of the Cullen-Rosales card Ft. Bliss Monday. Schoolboy went the distance on two occasions with Black but was knocked out when he fought Chihuahua Kid Brown. I Cullen Doesnl Like Change in I Price of Seats Fred Cullen, who fights Rasie I Confident of Winning Bout With Rosales LAIMING to be in better condition than at any time in his life.

Fred Cullen arrived in El Paso Wednesday night for his fight Monday night at Ft. Bliss with Rosic Rosales. "Tlie fans liked my fight with Jeff Smith, but they arc going to like this one with Rosales Cullen declared night. Hand Healed broke a hand in tlie Smith fight and couldn't put up good i bout as I wanted to. But my hand BOXERS WORK Rosie Rosales will start las training at 2 p.

today and I'red Cullen will workout at 3 1 m. Both bo.xcr.s will work at the L'l Paso Amusement club gymnasium. The public i.s invited to watch the two principals train lor the Monday night light at Ft. Bliss. Wd! Planned Fight Tuniiry a plaiincc' biitllr Dempsey in their first Hr h.Td it carrfully mapjicd £(f the last riclail and foi- lowcd it prc ci fioing in and swapping as Sharkey was foolish enough to uo, he kept out of range of i.icinpsey and jabbed.

Had hr wanted to (hat night couli? hnockr-d out Dcmo- sry. The former champion admits hr uas in a bad But Tunney was Avinning and he had no desire io changc hi.s of battle even when Dempsey tottering. Kayo Surprise Popular or unpopular as a thani- pion Tunney probably will want io fight the same way against Dempsey in Chicago as he did in Philadelphia. But I imagine that if he whips Jack as badly in the early rounds as he did at the Sesqui bowl that he'll probably not be content with a decision, but will want a knockout to add more luster to his title. I am not saying Tunney will stop the e.x-champion, but it create a great deal of surprise in my mind if he did.

e.specially li Dempsey makes the same kind of showing ao he did last year. Rosales Monday night at P't. let out a today I about the lowering of price of tickcls for the fight. I fought Smith here." I ullea said, top price was i So. Now I am fighting a tough boy and the choice seats arc 1 but S2.50.

It's going to be a I hard fight and I believe the i same prices charged in my bout v.i:h Smith should prevail."

Panthers to Help Orange Grid Eleven UXIOR COLLEGE PANTHERS, once more bitter enemies to the Mines than iiny of the hardest grid foes, have buried the ax. When it was announced spring that Junior college its existence in El Paso it was wondered just how the Panther athletes, in view of the bitter feeling between the two schools, would feel being in Mucker uniforms. Stars to Enter Mines Football season has rolled around and many of last Panther athletes are planning to enter the Mines school.

Blaine McNutt, a power in the Junior college backfield last year, was one cf the first ones to announce he would be a candidate for the team. Bill Powell, center and guard on the Panther team in 1926. has also made plans to enter the school. Meyers at Practicc Monk Meyers, end and captain of the Panthers, attended the preliminary practice at the High school stadiuux Wednesday. Meyers is not sure he can enter the Mines this year but going to do liis best to go back to schooL Bill Bulger, hard hitting tackle for the Panthers, has also signed to play football with the Miners.

In addition to sending many of itvS stars to the Mines this year the dofunct Junior college has also given all its football equipment to the Muckers. Alt ho Coach Doc Stewart has about $2000 worth of new equipment for the Mines he is thankful to get the old suits and shoes discarded by the Junior collegians. can save the new uniforms our first game." he said, practice in the ones given us by the Cut Is Chief Topic of Talk United Press Leased Wire CHICAGO. Senousness of the cut over Gene right eye and the possible affect ol the injury on his chances against Jack Dempsey when they meet was the principal topic of discussion at camps of both fighters today. Chuck Wiggins inflicted the cut while sparring with the champion Tuesday.

Tunney spent Wednesday reading a new novel instead of boxing and planned to do the same thing today. It was asserted at his Lake Villa training camp, however, that he will be back in the ring the following three days for the usual six rounds. There was considerable gloating at the Dempsey camp, meanwhile, because Jack had a similar mjury when T'unney beat liim in Philadelphia and it was felt by some of the followers that his defeat was due in some measure to Gene's work on the injured eye. Dempsey continued to pcrlect his golf game Wednesday instead ot his puguistlc techmcue, but he expected to box some more today.
