Sunday afternoon marked the
close of a strenuous week of training
on the part of Roy Wallace in
preparation for what appears to be
one OF the toughest fights in which
the Brightwood boy ever has en-
gaged-lais ten-round bout with
Bobby Williams at the Harrison

Many close followers of the fistic
racket seem inclined to the belief
Wallace is due for a trimming. In
support of this, they point to the
fact Williams made much better
showing against Joe Packo than did
Wallace, and also are emphasizing
the k. o. win of the Syracuse
puncher over Billy Peterson Of
Detroit.
There will be no alibis Tuesday
night whichever way the scrap goes.

was in the best of condition. on the

MAY WEAR DOWN GENE
BY STAN ERSKIN.
Tnited Press staff Correspondent

FAIR HAVEN, N. j., July 3d.
Tom Heeney now has been looked
over by Jack Dempsey, Tex Rickard
and f1ght-tan friends of the pro-
motor, and this is the consensus of
their opinion:
Heeney is a rugged, tough Gus
toner; he is dogged and somewhat
slow; he is better fighter than he
has been given credit for being to
date, but is of the mauler rather
than the boxer class; he ic likely to
be cut to ribbons by the slaShing
technique of Gene Tunney, but has
a chance to win if he can stay with
Tunney for ten or more rounds and
wear him down over the fifteen
round route.
Rickard came down Sunday to
look over the camp of the man who
will make up half of his show
Thursday night. He brought down
with him on his new steam cruiser
some twenty-five of his prominent
fight fans, including Dempsey.
"I think Heeney is in fine shape, ="
said the former champion. He is
tough and tireless, and while these
lighter fellows hit him, he carries
we'll anything they hit him with.
Heeney is the mauler type. He'll
keep boring in and boring in, and
unless Tunney cuts him up badly in
the early rounds I think Heeney
will have a good chance to win.
"Heeney is very strong. If I were
to fight him in the near future I
would want to be in the best pos
sible shape before I took him on. 1
think it will be a good fight and 1
think it will be a good fight for the
fight game, because a lot of people
think it will be cinch for Tunney,
and I believe they will be surprised
in what happens"
Among those who accompanied
Rickard Sunday were Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt, Roy
w. Howard, president of the board
of the Scripps- Howard newspapers;
Bernard Gimbel, Robert J. Bender,
vice president of the United Press
Association; William H. English and
Benjamin Greer.

Champion Gene Has Heart
Set on Knocking Out
Tom.
FINAL DRILL TUESDAY
SCOTS at Trainers Idea on
Milk.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

SPECULATOR, N. Y, July 23.-
Gene Tunney's jabbing and running
away days are over.
Punch for punch, blow for blow,
toe-to-toe. That's the way Tunney
will fight Tom Heeney in their
heavyweight championship bout at
Yankee Stadium Thursday night.
Deep down in his heart, Tunney
nurses the desire to steal the
thunder that once was Dempsey's.
out of the ring Gentleman Gene"
is a good enough nickname, but in
the ring Tunney aspires to the title
Of Gene the giant killer
To make his dream come true,
Tunney is willing to take a danger
Gus and unnecessary risk. BY box
ing Heeney, Tunney undoubtedly
could retain his title, but the
champion is willing to gamble with
the Gods and fight Heeney.
Artie McGoyern, trainer Of Babe
Ruth, Johnny Farrell, Gene Sara
zen and many other athletes,
warned Tunney against his harmful
habit of drinking a quart of milk
after his workout each afternoon,
but to no avail.
'I know what's best for me-" was
Tunney's reply.
Apparently the milk habit has not
proved injurious to Tunney. Fink
and others competent to judge say
he is in the greatest shape Of his
career. McGovern, however, says
the disastrous effect Of drinking the
milk after his workout will not
make it's appearance until after the
seventh round.
Those close to Tunney say he is
punching harder than ever before.
Johnny Risko, Cleveland heavy
weight, saw the workout and said:
''He looks great"
Tunney unleashed all the power
he possessed in three right-hand
punches in the second round,
against Mays Sunday and came
near flooring the powerful New Jer-
sey fighter.
The champion planned to rest to-
day, but will hold his final drill
Tuesday In private. No one will be
permitted to- see him in action.

Indians Wind Up With CoIoneIs
Today; Brewers Invade Park Tuesday
League Leaders Fail to Show Well on Sunday and Lose
to 5; Branom Is Big Noise.

With the short series standing one
game apiece, Indians and Colonels
were to meet in the third and finale
tilt this afternoon and on Tuesday
Jack Lelivelt's Milwaukee Brewers
will invade the local park to take on
the Betzelites.
BY splitting even over the week
end, the Tribesmen chung to their
league lead of t-No games, with
Kansas City ana St. Paul close up.
With Swetonic in grand form Sat-
urday, the Indians blanked Louisville,
3 to 0, but on Sunday the home pas
timers went into reverse and lost,
Z to 3. However, it's not a new
stunt for the Indians to crack on
the Sabbath. In fact there appears
to be a Sunday jinX on the boys and
they can not shake it off.
The Betzels got only one hit the
first five innings off Malcolm Moss
and failed to score until the eighth
when a wild throw let a run go
over.
Layne poled a homer in the
ninth and Yde's single and Flor
ence's double in the final round,
put across the locals third tally.
Dudley Branom, Louisville first
sacker, was poison to Bill Burwell
and his home run, double and long
single ruined the Indians. Branom
crashed a lengthy single with the
bases jammed in the sixth and it
bored through Comorosky in deep
right, three runs scoring. His homer
was hit in the eighth with the bases
empty and it was a mighty swat
over the high Scoreboard.
Branom scored the first marker

FAIR HAVEN, N. j., July 23.-I
saw Tom Heeney work out Sunday
and I pick him to win from Gene
Tunney when they meet Thursday
night.
That may sound ridiculous to any
one who knows boxing, but I will
tell you why Heeney is the better
man. He has more endurance and
can go fifteen rounds easier than
Tunney. Tunney is a better boxer.
I have never denied that. But 1
think Heeney's bull strength is 60
ing to prove too much for the cham
pion.
Heeney is ignorant of the art of
boxing, and, strange as it seems, I
believe that will help him. He will
not be worried about feinting and

side-stepping, but will go in the ring
and fight. Tunney may have a de-
fense that will stop him, but I
doubt it.
Tunney could put up whale of
a fight. But he is temperamental
and that will hurt him when he goes
up against Heeney. Tunney always
seems willing to let we'll enough
alone. His long lay-off will not help
him.

rounds. which think he will, Hee-
ney, the plodder, will come on strong
and win the decision.

and many of the sprinters were
able to go through their PAGES.
Ray Barbuti, Emil Snyder and

their event. Lloyd Hahn did the
quarter in SO seconds.
Other times were: Ray Watson,
