three leaders, Lyford, Brownsville

SPECTATOR. N. Y, July 23.-tPl
Gene Tunney intends to defend his
heavyweight crown like a true cham
pion, by knocking out Tom Heeney in
one Of the early rounds Of their IS
round bout at the Yankee Stadium
Thursday night.
Most experts consider Gene a much
better boxer than the New Zealand
blacksmith and believe he would have
little trouble in outpointing the chal-
lenger.
But Tunney, who has signed a con-
tract with Tex Richard for 1929 81 a
percentage basis appears willing TO
gamble on being knocked out himself
for the privilege Of being a record
breaking card in future fights.
Experts are now inclined TO think
he has been kidding them since he
started training last May.
For a half minute yesterday he was
a super boxer. He stalled through
n round with Harold Mays. his fav-
orite sparring partner, and then
showed his true self for an instant in
the following session. A left feint
drew Mays out Of position and Tun-
ney, quick as lightning. shot in three
right hooks to the jaw with machine
gun rapidity. Though Tunney's fists
were covered with heavy training
gloves, Mays was staggered. These
three blows according TO the con-
sensus of the newspapermen, many
of whom were fresh frem Heeney'S
training quarters, would have leveled
any heavyweight in the world If
Tunnev were wearing regulation
gloves.
After this brief %outburst. Tunney
went back into the she'll behind which
he has hidden since ne started train
ing. He coasted through the third
round with Mays and three more
with Billy Vidabeck, the other spar
ring partner.
Tunney will work out but once
more before he flies to New York
Thursday morning. That will come
tomorrow. Today's program called
only for n short hike up and down
hills and dales about Lake Pleasant.

Speculation Rife as to Signing of Farm and
 Shipping Bills

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The McNary-Haugen Farm Relief Bill and the Jones-White Merchant Marine Bill have passed Con gross and are awaiting entry to the White House.
 Speculation is revived as to what kind of a reception will be accorded by President Coolidge who will get the bills as soon as Vice-President Dawes, President of the Senate, and Speaker Long worth, of the House, attach their signatures.
 It is generally believed that the President will veto the Me Nary-Haugen Farm measure al- though changed considerably since the veto last year. The bill still provides for Farm Board and a huge. revolving fund to aid the farmers in marketing their crops and still carries the much de- bated equalization fee.
 The shipping measure author izes big replacement program for the government merchant ma rine and requires sanction by five of seven members of the Shipping Board for the sale of vessels to private lines.

Says Advertising Is
 Business Stabilizer

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May IT, Advertising reaching the propor- tions of an industry in itself with $2,O0O,O00,O0O spent annual ly for it, is in need of scientific basis, in the opinion of J. Walter Strong, publisher of the Chicago Daily News.
 MT. Strong was here to attend the meeting of the Advertising Commission of the International Advertising Association.
 Advertising has proven busi- ness stabilizer, MT. Strong said, and with the changes that have occurred bringing higher wages and new living scales it has ere ated new markets and stabilized the old.
 It is necessary, in his opinion that all the information possible on advertising should be gathered and surveyed, and that Is one of the objects of the Association, operating through it's research bureau. He suggested further that advertising should be taught in the schools so that the next generation of executives and the public opinion may understand It's full value.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. May 17.-Airplanes, faster, safer, and larger, with living and sleeping apartments for passengers in the wings, seven feet thick, Is pro phesied by Charles Lawrence, in- ventor of the Wright whirlwind motor. New. fuel, lighter than gasoline, will be developed thus increasing the load carrying ca- pacity of the airplanes, he says
 In the opinion of Henry Ford, there Is little doubt that air planes will become the principal medium for long distance and expensive transportation but fu- ture of aviation and possibilities cannot be predicted
 Orville Wright, father of avia- tion, believes in these Views also as expressed in addresses on the occasion of their visit to the Franklin Institute where Henry Ford was awarded the gold medal for achievements in automobile production.
 Lawrence said the coming planes will be so large that 1t will be possible for mechanics to work on the engines in flight, in fact, they will be able to take down an engine while flying. The airplane will be one of the greatest factors in abolishing war, Lawrence added.

Orders Swamp Brokers - Ticker Be-
 hind During Day

NEW YORK, May 17-The con flagration of stock speculation which has been sweeping the country was drenched yesterday by a downpour of selling orders which broke all trading records in the history of the New York Stock Exchange.
 The reaction developed with startling suddenness after the opening outburst of strength in which several issues scared from $5 to $31 a share. These gains either were materially cut or con. certed into losses of $2 to $5 a share. The ticker was behind all day and final quotations did not appear until an hour and 19 min utes after the Exchange closed, the longest delay on record.
 A new high was set for 4,SS7,- 400 shares.
 Belief that speculation carried prices above stock values and cut in loan rates soon to come, in- spired the selling.

 Beats Of Burglars

BORDEAUX, May 17-One Of those French loaves of bread, three feet long, which Americans find so amusing, was used sue cessfully as weapon by a Bor- deaux baker, who drove away three bandits. And one of the bandits had pistol. The loaf of bread weighed six pounds.
 The baker was sitting with his wife at table, eating bread per haps, when three masked men entered and ordered hands up Defying the pistol, the baker yanked a long loaf out of the um- brella-stand sort of container and cracked 1t over a bandits head. His wife. encouraged by her hus- bands temerity and success, grab bed hold of another three-foot loaf and so belabored the other two bandits that they went away hot-footed, their faces being we'll scratched from the tough crust.
