Jnst a short while before Gene Tunney met Jack Rice 8ey for the title, Jim Corbett had written a book called The Roar of the Crowd." Jim was looking for some publicity for the book. Tunney at . the time was looking for publicity that would help him nail down the Dempsey fight. Gene was Just finishing a long campaign for the championship. So Jack Eaton and your correspondent got the Idea of using Cor-be- tt and Tunney in a In our movie sport-reseries. Both agreed promptly. The meeting was to be only twof rounds at two mintues each. The only outsider permitted to see the boxing duel was Frank Craven, the late and always brilliant actor. Jim Corbett was then 63 years old. Tunney was around 25 or 26. Tunney was dressed in full fighting'costume but Corbett asked to be allowed to wear long white trousers. My legs are not what they used to be, he said.

Coruses not various was only the bett had for his feinting, but also the speed of his hands at 63. Naturally Gene Tunney was not out to show Corbett up, or to make it too rough.
