Burg, INS Staff ; Correspondent* Chicago--Will Gene Tunney fall a victim to Chicago's, jinx on fist) - champions when he meets Jack Dempsey in Soldiers’ Field here September 22? Within less than 18 months two champions have lost their titles it; Chicago and a third world’s title holder fighting at catch weight; and his royal bonnetnot at stake, I suffered a technical knockout. He ; didn't lose his crown because both. I he and his opponent were over- j weight. Tigers Flowers, middleweight champion, dropped his title to the present king in that division, Mic key Walker, in a bout here. Rocky Kansas, former light- i weight champion, was sent into ob- ! livion by the present diadem-bear- ' er Sammy Mandel, in a Chicago j Often show. Mushy Callahan, Los Angeles I boxer, was the fistic king who al- i most gave up his decorations to | Sammy Baker, New' Yorker, who fought Callanhan here at 144 1 pounds, two pounds over the junior welterweight limit and thus lost all claims to the “light welter” title . thereby, even though lie stopped j Callahan. Both the Kunsas-Mandell and Flowers-Walker decisions wore hot ly attacked. Mandell, some spur';; critics declared, was not entitled to more than a draw verdict and these gentlemen said the lilting or Flowers' head-piece was an act akin to the tactics of Chicago gun men. However, rifclther Tunney, the best of the heavyweights, or Demp sey, the former champion and now challenger for the title, or their respective managers, Billy Gibson, and Leo Flynn, are worried about the city's jinx for champions. Both I'uimey and Dempsey have shown little interest outwardly in the se lection of a referee and the two Judges who will decide the affair. Both of the principles have an nounced they are certain they will "*et a equate deal" and that the verdict wdl be given fairly and squarely, family visited Mr. Claude Waters Sunday.
