TUNNEY, CHAMP,
DEFEATS HEENEY
RETAINS HEAVYWEIGHT BELT
AFTER BEATING ANZAC
IN II ROUNDS

YANKEE STADIUM, New York
July -Subjecting Tom Heeney
New Zealander challenger, tC
one of the most severe beatings
any man ever took in any ring
Gene Tunney, heavyweight champ
ion, Thursday night scored a tech
nical knockout over the Anzac in
the 18th round of 15-round
match.
Tunney knocked Heeney uncon-
scious at the close of the 10th
round but the bell saved the chal-
lenger, lying unconscious on the
floor. Tunney weighed 1S9
pounds; Heeney 2031a.
Rarely has any man been sub
jected to the punishment Heeney
took, after the seventh and still
kept his feet to plunge stubbornly
into the champions flay-
ing punches. The challenger's
left eye, hurt in the seventh
round, left him half blinded
throughout the rest of the fight.
After reeling through terrific
punishment in the eighth and
ninth sessions, Heeney collapsed
under the champions bitter at
tack just as the 10th round closed
Tom rolled on his back almost
out of the ring and had to be car
ried to his corner. Although he
survived somewhat for the 18th,
Tunney slashed him into a corey
figure minutes and 50 seconds
of the round before the referee
called it. About $4,000 spectators
the battle.
