Gene Tunney
May , 1928
The magazine New Yorker this week relates the story of a secret meeting in an uptown studio between Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Gene Tunney, the heavyweight champion.
...The two compared notes on the "damned nuisance" of being a hero. They considered the advisablity of adopting a disguise in public to escape autograph hunters."
"What do you usually do when people come rushing up to you? On the field I usually ignore them, "Lindbergh said.
Tunney replied that he generally shook hands and tried to be nice but often hated such actions.
...Just before they left the prize fighter grinned and said " I have it all over you in one thing. I can retire. You never can."
