Gene Tunney was escorted, after a welcoming demonstration by a Chicago mob, to his training camp at Lake Villa, III. As is usual on such momentous occasions, a dozen motorcycle police "made way" for the celebrity's car at about 60 m.p.h. Hitting a bump, Officer Frank Truba's motorcycle careened into two others—smash. Mr. Tunney leaped from his motor, knelt, helped give first aid. . . . Later somebody asked Mr. Tunney if boxing was conducive to ideals. Said he: "Ideals are congenial."
* A mistake. In Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance the chorus sings: "A policeman's lot is not a happy one."
