Ringside, Sesqui-Centennial Stadium Philadelphia, Sept. 24. - Gene Tunney, the fighting marine, is the new heavyweight champion of the world. He dethroned Jack Dempsey, king for the last seven years, tonight, by smashing his way to decisive victory in a 10-round match that went the limit and furnished one of the greatest upsets in boxing history.

Dempsey only a shell of his old fighting self, was outboxed and outfought from start to finish, groggy and bleeding in a one-sided battle that was decided in a driving rain before a record crowd of 132,000 spectators.

This great throng, forming a spectacle unprecedented in sports annals, paid close to $2,000,000 to witness a match that fell from the sensational heights expected of it.

Stunned at first by the amazing slowness, the lethargy and lack of old fighting fire in the champion's attack, the dripping throng cheered on the challenger as he steadily hammered and battered his way to triumph, piling up points that gave him an overwhelming margin and earned him the unanimous decision of the judges.

Tunney, reaching the pinnacles of a fighting career that started when he was a buck private in the ranks of the marines, fought a masterful battle, out-generaling Dempsey at nearly every turn as well as out-punching the champion. The battling product of the sidewalks of New York's Greenwich village, at the age of 28, fairly won his right to the purple robes of pugilism.

But the handsome rugged challenger dethroned a man who came to the end of the championship trail with few weapons and less stamina to defend his place at the top.
