Gene Tunney in the Best Of
Condition for Grueling
Test Thursday
By WILLIAM r. KING
Associated Press Sports Wfiter)


Spectator, N. Y, July 25.-R-
For three months Gene Tunney has
toiled through most rigorous
training season, and now, thanks to
his own efforts alone, he is phys
ically and mentally perfect for the
fray with his rugged New Zealand
challenger tomorrow night.
Though Tunney has fought but
once since 1926, when he wrested his
title from Jack Dempsey, to Heeney's
Id bouts in the same space Of time,
he will enter the ring the better
boxer of the two. He has probably
gained fistic science during his
long l..yoff, for he has always been
q close student Of his trade.
Tunney claims he has never been
stronger, that he is punching harder,
and he has confidently predicted
that. he will defeat Hecney, probably
by q knockout.
During his training siege. during
which he has never appeared outside
Of the ring in anything but q sweat
err, shabby linen trousers and an old
pair Of shoes, scarcely noble raiment
for the ruler Of Fistiana, Tunney has
been developing a powerful, right
hand body punch, a blow which
Heeney has always had great trouble
finding.
He completed his rim practice
yesterday afternoon by going two
rounds with each Of his sparring
mates. He worked so fast against
them that they appeared clumsy and
awkward.
II am ready" Tunne7 said when
he left the ring. "Heeney is q rugged
foe, but l have comrlete confidence
in my own ability. am better than
I was for Jack Dempsey last year"

CHALLENGER AND CHAMPION GO INTO

Tom Heeney, Man Without

man without temperament-that ID
Tom Heeney, the rock ribbed, bar
relied chested New Zealander who to-
morrow night battles Gene Tunney
for the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship.
"Blime me, if I can get what you
Americans call a kick out of il"
Heeney says, II guess I haven't got
any Of that temperament stuff in
me. Meeting Tunney of course is a
big chance for met may mean my
financial independence, but cannot
get excited about it. It is just a
sporting proposition, If ! can't win l
want to be . good loser"
Heeney might just as well be a
horse sheer or the plumber that he
used to be instead or the challenger
for tho worlds heavyweight title as
far as outside appearances 60. He
is as common as an old shoe with no
attempt at high hattedness, no de-
sire to be out Of the ordinary, he
walks around the camp in rumple
pair Of old blue trousers, q pair Of
comfortable oxfords rundown at the
heel, coatless and hatless and with q
shirt open at the neck.
One cannot help liking him. His
blue Irish eyes look straight into
yours and he talks simply and d.
rectly with flashes of true Irish wit.
He has made a host Of friends
since he first hit America fifteen
months ago and battled his way to a
shot at the championship on sheer
merit. He has not learned the title
Of hard luck from down under" for
nothing.
Heeney was ordered to 60 into Sc
clusion today. If he had his own
way about it, he would sit out in the
shade Of the big nine tree out in the
yard, or better still sit in the back
room Of an old time saloon and
knock over q few beers.
