A KNOCK OUT BLOW
TUNXEY HITS CAAIERA-AIAN. United Press Assn —By Electric Telegraph—Copy'right. LONDON. February 17. The more Gene Tunney shrinks from publicity the more he receives Tunney and liis wife reached Cannes on Friday. Their arrival was unheralded. but Press and cinema, photographers turned up and tried to take a picture q.f Tunney entering his hotel. Tunney was furious and hustled them out. The next morning he was walking on the promenade. when a photographer tried to obtain a hurried snapshot. Tunney warded off the photographer, who persisted, w itli the result that Tunney delivered a right-handed punch, and felled him like a stone. The Daily Express in an editorial, states: “This break down front philosopher and man of letters, and sudden reversion to the primitive, comes as a shock. Press agents and photographers made Tunncy’s fame. To knock out one of the men whfc helped him to advance front obscurity makes one wonder whether Tunney. like the unfortunate photographer, is not suffering from swelled head.”
