Show Dempsey Emulates Tunney By Scouting Thomas, but Harry-Stages Poor Show- By GATLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (AP) It begins to appear likt this Demp-sey-Tunney feud will go on forever in one form or another. Ten yean it's been since they last met under the ring lights at Chicago and both long since have become proud parents and solid citizens, but they're still at it worse than the Hatfields and the McCoys. Tunney started it again the other day when he suddenly went all democratic and paid a king, homely visit to Max Schmellng's training quarters at Summit, ti. J. Everybody Every-body realised at the time It was a deliberate steal of Dempaeys stuff, and they predicted Jack wouldn't take It lying down.

Appearing in a cloud of cigsr smoke at the training train-ing camp of Harry Thomas, who fights Schmeling Monday night at the garden, the old mauler did ten rounds of democrating that made Tunney's effort look puny by comparison. com-parison.

Thomas' showing, on the other hand, left Jack and every body elss practically speechless. The man from ths midwest, who has been talking such a good fight lately that some of the boys were getting worried about Schmeling, must have saved up the very worst ho had just for Dempsey. A pair of negro spar mates plastered him around until it was ridiculous. Thomas displayed nothing except a swooping, curving left that almost al-most never landed and which left him wide open for a right, aay, like Schmellng's.
