From 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Phillips Carlin battles with the endless details of the station's business. He arranges programs, conducts rehearsals, selects artists, supplies ideas. Despite the volume of this work he likes to see fights and football games; accordingly, he goes along with Mr. McNamee. He is the chief actor-manager of radio.
*Announcer Graham McNamee could scarcely be expected to grasp immediately the technical detail here involved, through which Dempsey protested to the Illinois Boxing Commission that he had won the fight. Dempsey knocked Tunney down. By the rules of the contest he should have walked immediately to a neutral corner and waited until his antagonist arose or was counted out. Instead he stood over him; went to the wrong corner. Thus five seconds were lost before he reached the neutral corner and the actual count began over the prostrate Tunney. Tunney rose after the ninth second. A boxer is knocked out after ten seconds. Actually, Tunney was down 14. Tunney insists that his head was clear after the first few seconds and that he could have risen within the first ten seconds; that, grasping the situation, he waited for the extra respite to arise stronger, steadier.
