TUNNEY TO GET S11,666
A MINUTE WITH HEENEY
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN


Light Heavyweisht Champion OF the World
So far Tex Rickard has deposited
to Tunney's account 100000 Of the
S525,000 he guaranteed the heavy
weight champion for defending his
title against Tom Heeney in July.
Before Gene steps into the ring
that night every dollar OF the amount
will be In the bank for him. That
works out to $l1,666.67 a minute IL
the bout goes the limit.
You can see why every man who
has even faint chance to win the
championship wants 10 get shot
at II. I've done pretty well among
the 175-pounders. but Ii would take
me a long time to earn that much.
The topnotchers who were born
late enough TO box In these times
are lucky indeed. John l.. Sullivan
didn't get a dime when he lost to
Jim COrbett, but whether he wins or
loses, Tom Heeney will make as
much In that one fight as some OF
the great old timers earned in a
lifetime Of effort.

Amazing Answers Given to
Question by British
GeniuSeS.

By United Press
\ LONDON, Nov. 2S.-If you had to
choose four books to live with,
which ones would you prefer?
That was the question put to the
recent Library Association confer
ence here by DR.. A. D. Lindsay, and
which has brought forth some amaz-
ing answers from literary geniuseS
in London.
1t was revealed by these answers
that the Bible and Shakespeare
would, in most cases, be included,
and that "Alice in Wonderland was
voted the funniest book in the
world.
Interviews with leading authors
here evinced the following replies:
Interviews Leading Authors
Miss Radcliffe Hall, authoress of
the book, 'WellS of Loneliness"
which recently was banned in Eng
land, exclaimed: what an awful
predicament if one really had to
make the choice. I should want
Plato'S Republic the Bible, Alice
in Wonde land certainly, and there
must be poet, so we will have
Browning"
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, spirit
ualist and creator of Sherlock
Holmes, agreed to the Bible and
Shakespeare, because you can dig
into them again and again" He then
chose Gibbons's Decline and Fall
Of the Roman Empire" but con-
fessed that the fourth choice baffled
him.
Doyle Enjoys Poe
Asked if he would name the four
best detective stories, Sir Arthur
said that he hardly ever read books
of that kind, but he had enjoyed
the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
Another writer who admitted that
she could not decide on the fourth
book in such a situation was Una,
Lady Troubridge, whose first three
were the Bible, Shakespeare, and
Rudyard Kipling's poetry.
According to the chief librarian at
Nudes London beSt-known private
library, the most popular authors at
the present time are: John Gals
worthy, Arnold Bennett, H. C. Wells,
Rose Macaulay, Sheila Kaye Smith,
w. j. Locke and Bernard Shaw
The secretary of the Authors
club said the most popular book in
their library at the present time was
the oxford Dictionary. Three other
works in great demand were the
French Encyclopaedia, the Diction-
airy of National Biography, and the
Dictionary of Ethics and Religion.

also took upon himself the duties
of mouser. At first considerable 10
cal comment was caused by the fact
that the squirrel had caught
mouse, but Ernest Thompson Seton,
well-known naturalist, states that
this species of SQUIRREL which is
really a rodent, is in the habit of
catching field mice. Therefore the
step to catching a mouse indoors
was not such a long one for him.
The squirrel made a great hit
with the rangers. "Chippie has

His reason for dropping his title
and assuming the "Mr." of his fam
lily name is, he says, gesture OF re-
volt against the servility which he

me-" said one of them. "He will
come when I call him if he is with
in hearing distance. He is jealous
as he can be and will not allow me
to feed another squirrel at all. He
will chase them out of my hand,
then sit up there and chatter, to let
them know their place."

coming visit to New England, Cool
idge will make one or more speeches
in his home section of the country.
in some portions of which the re-
publicans know they have to con-
tend with rather stiff opposition.
Hoover made a rather complete
report to the president on the poll
teal situation generally. as he views
it. at this stage of the campaign. and
the president in turn gave the re-
publican presidential candidate his
opinion as to the situation in Wis
consin and others of the north
western states from which he re-
ceived reports during his stay at
Cedar Island lodge in the Brule
river.
Take Pictures
After the conference was over.
Secretary Mellon accompanied the
president and Hoover to the en-
trance to the executive offices where
the camera men awaited to make
pictures of the party.
