WILL TUNNEY RETURN?
Gene Tunney’s retirement from the ring may only be temporary, according to 'Herman Timberg, playwright and vaudeville star. Timberg is an ardent devotee of boxing, and the author of several boxing sketches produced in the movies. “I have it from good authority that Tunney will eventually return to the ring,” Timberg stated. “Just before I left New York two weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a little informal confab with several boxing chieftains present, and from the gist of their conversations 1 gathered that Mr. Tunney hasn’t reached a final decision.” This does not fit in with what Tunney himself has so emphatically said on the subject.
