HEENEY ABANDONS
ALE AS DAY FOR
BATTLE N { A R s

FAIRHAVEN, \. J., July 10
At last Tom Heency is beginning
to take this heavyweight Champion
ship fight seriously.
He has given up his ale.
Heency goes into the last week
of his training today weighing five
or six pounds more than he will
when he faces Gene Tunney at the
Yankee Stadium a week from to-
night. The challenger is not so far
along in his training as Tunney, but
Hccney will put ON speed now
while Tunncy slows down in an at
tempt to dull his fighting edge.
The matter of the ale is signifi-
cant. Icency had been drinking it
all his life and when he gives it up
to start "drying OUT for a fight
it means he is nearing the peak of
condition. Tom believes ale has
helped him build up the rugged body
which has absorbed the best punches
of most OF America 5 leading
hcavyweights.
Supreme confidence is the key
note in Hccncy 5 camp. The cha)-
longer honestly believes Johnny
Risko is a better fighter than Tun-
ncy and since lIccncv has whipped
Risko he can sec no reason for
worrying about Tunncy.

BROKEN LEG TO
FINISH DOWNS
BOXING CAREER

Ralph Downs, Brawley boxer who
was scheduled to appear at the
Arena Friday night, suffered a
broken leg Tuesday afternoon. Ac-
cording to information Downs was
driving tractor at the time and in
some manner slipped from his seat.
One of his legs was caught in the
machine and badly shattered. While
his condition is reported to be CON
slderably improved, physicians de-
clare that his fighting days are over.
Art Griffo of Los Angeles has
been substituted for Downs on the
card booked for the Arena tomor-
row night and will face Joe Ruiz of
San Diego. The boys are listed to
provide the action in the semi-final
event and indications are that it
will be a lively battle from the
start.
Billy West, Pittsburgh scrapper,
is slated to meet Young Larry Of
Los Angeles in the main fistic tan
gle of the evening.
West recently arrived from the
east and is a clever battler. In
Young Larry he will meet a speedy
two-fisted boy and the battle should
provide plenty of thrills. Both boys
hit hard and the tusslc may not go
the entire 10 rounds on the schcd-
ulc.
Young Larry has been doing some
exceptionally clever fighting during
the last few days and should give
his eastern rival a full 10 rounds of
battling. West is rated high in the
east as "A scrapper and has won one
victory and lost a close decision in
his two appearances in the west.
Monic Hill will hop into the spc-
cial bout class and will meet Young
Maihonay of Brawlcy in the tussIc.
The scrap promises to bring out
plenty of action as both boys are
built along the slugger type and
are mixers of the sturdicst caliber.
In the opening event Melvin Per
kinS of FL Centre will mix things
with Mcll Brooks of Imperial.
The show is slated to get going at
$50 o o'clock.
