Amid surroundings that lent every aid to his desire to retire "as grace- fully as possible" from the game that has made him an international figure, since that day ten.years ago when he sought a fight in order to eat, the big marine told fifty newspapermen and friends that he was through. Gene said in a low voice, hardly heard through the room, "this is the greatest moment of my life, greater tven than the night I won the heavy- weight championship at Philadelphia two years ago. I am retiring from that honor and reluctance." He went on to explain. that he wished to leave no impression that there was anything wrong in the situation or that he felt that he was bigger than the game itself, Ten Years h "Every man owes something to his profession and I am nat insensible to the duties I owe boxing. But I have béen ten years now in the boxing game, and I feel that ten years in such a violent sport is sufficient." Tunney then outlined a plant he has worked upon for some time with Commissioner Muldoon whereby his place can be filled through an elimi- nation tournament, A trophy in the form of a huge four-sided cup will be placed in the hands of a commit- tee of trustees, headed by Commis sioner Muldoon and Tex Rickard, to be known as' the "Muldoon-Tunney Trophy." The cup will remain in the hands of the committee of 26 but on it will be inscribed the name of each successor to Gene's crown when the public recognizes him. On one side of the trophy will be inscribed a list of the champions dat- ing from John L. Sullivan down to the day of Jack Dempsey. On the opposite side the name of the old Manassa Mauler will head the list, and under it will be placed Tunney's name, After pointing out what bexing has meant to him, Gene read a prepared statement in which he set forth some of his reasons for failed to mention definite plans for the future, Looking for Work The picture of Tunney today is a far cry to the afternoon, almost ten years ago, when Gene, jusfdut of the Marine Corps, had exhausted the pos- sibilities for a job in New York and was tramping the streets of Newark, N.J., looking for work. A promoter, meeting him by accident and remem- heéring that Tunney had won the light heavyweight championship of the American Expeditionary Forces, ask- ed him if he would like a 'match. "No," said Tunney abruptly, and walked away. But the thought of the countless employers who had turned him away brought him to a halt. He came back, caught the promoter, and said, "I'll fight. Name the man." Gene knocked out the opponent in short order and started a career that led-him up through the middleweight division. to the championship of the light heavyweights, after victories, over Harry Greb, George Carpentier, and Tom Gibbons. When Tex Rick- ard named him as the logical heavy- weight opponent for Jack Démpsey in 1926 boxing experts almost to a man picked Manassa Jack to knock him out, Today, Tunney fresh from a crush- ing victory over Heeney, scaled 192 pounds in the ring togs, and in his match with Heeney appeared power- ful and capable enough to wipe out the present crop of challengers as fast as they were thrown against him. He is 30 years old, of slow- maturing type, and at the peak of his prowess, Gene's plans for the future are in- definite. He will leave next Mon- day for a five-day rest in the woods south of Quebec City, and on August 16 will sail for Europe, and a walk- ing trip through Germany, France and Spain, with Thornton Wilder, the novelist. The trip may take a year.
