SUPREME court
UPHOLDS GUILT
OF DRY AGENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Up - The
supreme court considered again
the question whether federal prohibi-
ton director can be punished under
the Volstead act for failure to report
all alleged violations of the prohibition
law which come ito his attention.
The question reached the court in a
case from Nevada where John P. DON
nelly, former federal prohibition di-
rector, was convicted for failure to re-
port alleged violations by James A.
Curran at Reno
When the case was before the court
ON two previous occasions the govern
mlent contended that the Volstead act
did not punish. such offenses. Today
it took the position that because such
a construction would be to favor the
lawbreaker and excuse from punish
1lent wilfully negligent officers, Dom
nelly'S conviction should be sustained. Z
Assistant Attorney General Willie
brandt in urging that construction in
sisted that the prohibition officer
should be convicted for failure to make;
d report even though he thought the
evidence was not sufficient to justify
prosecution.
Counsel for Donnelly argued that the
law was not intended to cover prol1ibi-
ton officers. He asserted that inves-
tigation of Curran by agents operating
under Donnelly had failed to disclose
any violation of the prohibition law
and insisted that under the circun-.
stances Dor1nelly was not required to-
report the facts to the United States
attorney.
The government replied that the
United States attorneys and not the
prohibition enforcement officers we're
charged with the decision whether
evidence in prohibition cases was suf-,,
ficient to warrant prosecution.

today were almost at the peak OF
condition for the opening of the
games Sunday.

the confidence reigning in the ranks

meters, has wound up his heavy
training, and all he did Wednesday
was to jog and take light sprints 70

Tunney enlisted as soon as possible
at the outbreak Of the World War.
He was in the marine corps. He
served in the S. o. S. in France and
attracted attention of the boxing
world when he won the light heavy
weight championship of the Amerl-
can Expeditionary Forces.
Returning to America, Tunney
took up fighting as a profession and
knocked out Bob Pierce in the
second round of their bout. This,
according to many critics, made
Tunney. During that year, he
fought four other bouts, winning all
except one, which was a no-decision
affair.
More Active in 1920
In 1920, Tunney was more active,
but suffered from weak hands. A
trip to the Maine woods fixed that.
He won eight fights by knockouts
that year and also took part in
three no-dicision fights.
During 1921, Tunney knocked out
five opponents, and won decisions
over Martin Burke and two other
opponents.
1t was in 1922 he suffered his first
and only defeat. Harry Greb earned
a fifteen-round decision, but Gene
gained six more knockouts, won
three decision fights, and fought
three no-decision fights that year.

Not Betting

England Is Hopeful but
SkeptiCaI of Chances
of Challenger.
BY ROBERT DOWSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

OuAbeu EIeSs obdH correspondent
LONDON, July 26.-Great Britain
was hopeful but skeptical today
that the long list of humiliating de-
feats Of British heavyweight boxers
by Americans might be ended
Tom Heeney, the New zealander
who is one Of Britain's own, fights
Gene Tunney for the worlds heavy
weight championship in New York
and boxing fans throughout the
einpire-from London through the
remote provinces-were agitated.
Britain doesn't like to remember
what happened to Joe Beckett in re-
cent years. Neither does the nation
like to think of the lack of success
that has been Phil SCOTS in his
American venture.
The nation has prided itself on
Heeney. The rugged blacksmith from
New Zealand doesn't have the
showiness OF ring craft of the more
popular ring idols, but he has with
stood the steady seeking of some OF
the contending heavyweights in the
United States, and that has made
HIM popular,
Some experts point out, to the
qualification of the English fans,
that a rugged fighter like Heeney is
liable to explode a swift and vicious
blow that will upset the champion
and give England the title that so
long has been safe in United States
hands.
Even with this, however, there was
little wagering Heeney would be the
next champion. Heeney money
seemed scarce In the sporting quar-
tiers of London.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Pre-battle
statements of Gene Tunney and
Tom Heeney follow:
TUNNEY-I am ready for a tough
fight, but if I can land just one
solid punch where I want to, ex-
pect to knock out Heeney. I am
in better shape for this fight than
was for either of my bouts with
Jack Dempsey. My hands are
tougher, my wind is better and my
legs were never stronger.
HEENEY-I will give the cham
pion a hard fight and I will be in
there at the end of the fifteenth
round if the fight goes that far.
have met all the best heavyweights
in this country, but I have never
fought like I am going to fight
against Tunney tonight.
