Challenger for Heavyweight
Crown to End Vacation
in Europe.
OTHER BOXING CHATTER
Dempsey Arrives in Big
City on Wednesday.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Special Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 1O.-After q
months lark in London, Paris ano
other European cities, Tom r eney
the eX-blacksmith who has assembled
to the position of challenger for The
heavyweight championship of the
world, will sail from Southampton
for the United States, April Is.
Heeney departed for a continental
vacation not knowing whether he
would meet Gene Tunney, Paolino
or Johnny RiSko in his next bout
and not caring much which one it
was.
One never would suspect Heeney
was fighting man by talking to
him. He's not always talking about
knocking somebody's head off like
the rest of the heavyweight con-
tenders.
After he beat Delaney, Heeney
remarked casually in his dressing
room that he'd like to fight Tunney
just to see what he could do against
him.
But for some stroke Of genius on
Charlie Harvey's part, or it may
have been only Tunney's demand
that Heeney be the challenger the
New zealander might never have
won the nomination.
Tex Richard was opposed to
Heeney from the first, holding out
as long as he could for a final elm
ination bout between Heeney and
Risko. It's an open secret that Tex
discredits Heeney as a fighter and
what's more important to the pro-
moter, as drawing card.
Heeney discontinued his training
abroad and has taken on some extra
weight. He expects to begin train
ing Immediately on his arrival in
this country. For the present,
Heeney will use the ST. Nicholas
Arena for his training quarters, but
will later move to an outdoor camp
With Jack Dempsey scheduled to
arrive in New York Wednesday for
his return legal bout with Jack
KearnS, his former manager, fistic
circles arc again specializing upon
the return to the ring of the former
champion.
Two bouts are in prospect for
Dempsey if he cares to return to
the ring. He can meet Johnny
Risko or the winner of the April 80
bout between Jack Sharkey and
Jack Delaney.
Tod Morgan Of Seattle, Junior
lightweight champion, may meet
Eddie (CannonbalD Martin of New
York, former bantamweight cham
pion, in a acknowledgements title
bout here May T. Martin has long
since outgroWn the 116-pound class.
Jess Mcmahon, Madison Square
Garden matchmaker, will appear be-
fore the New York State athletic
commission meeting today, and ask
for the removal Of Ace Hudkins of
Nebraska as the leading welter-
weight contender
"HudkinS was anxious to fight Joe
Dundee when the welterWeight
champion was under BAN Nc
Mahon said. but now ne is re-
instated and ready to defend his
crown Hudkins don't want to fight.
There are other contenders who do"

The communication was from Rep

of West Virginia. who objects to the

rigid enforcement of present regula.

Major Hesse to have the District
Commissioners give him broader
powers in this respect If necessary.
Representative Bowman objects
especially to the failure to display

The crash and bang twins
broadcast their static duets here.
there and everywhere along the
wave lengths last evening. The
South was easier to tune than
the Mid-West-but neither could
quite overcome the noisy atmos-
pheric conditions.
Politically speaking last evening
furnished food for thought for cit.
izens of the District of Columbia
as well as those of the United
States-the statement of the vote
less and humiliating condition of
the former in the earliest of WRC
speech transmissions being the first
time the disenfranchised Washing.
tonians have heard anything dur.
ing the campaign that particularly
affects them. Theodore w. Npyes,
editor of the Evening Star. and
chairman of the committee formed
to impress the un-American condi-
tion of Washington citizens on the
public at large, made careful and
incisive analysis of the situation and
appealed for help from his fellow
citizens to carry on the campaign
which, he hopes, will remove from
the Nations Capital its greatest hu-
initiation.
Chairman John j. Raskob. of the
Democratic National Committee,
demonstrated why a Republican
orator had called him Round Robin
Raskob" in a speech Wednesday
night, by reading during his speech
last evening a pledge, which he
said had been signed by most of
the Democratic candidates for the
two houses of Congress agreeing to
Governor Smiths views on the tariff
Mr.. Raskob twas a business mans
analysis OF the two parties couched
in economic terms. Immediately
after the Democratic chairman had
talked James Francis Burke, former
Congressman from Pennsylvania,
presented a most eulogistic appraisal
of Candidate Hoover for the Re-
publican National Committee.
Of the entertainment features left
on the programs by politics the
most distinctive were furnished by
the United States Army Band con-
cert from WMAL and the Swanee
river program from WRC. The sec
ton Of the hand that played for
WMAL included what was left or

ganization started its concert tour
about a month ago. Sergt. Theo-
dore Bingert was director and He'd
his associates through a most am
bilious program which was exceed
inglv well played-better, in fact,
than many of the regular concerts
of the entire band.
The Swanee river affair is becom:

into the interest and affections Of

delivers its negro songs and scenes
in a most pleasing manner.
